Instead of worrying about us alogging him, he has to worry about his Mormon God alogging his wife and daughter.

The funny thing about the Fonz is that in the very beginning, they had him wearing a windbreaker.
I give King a pass, because the '50s was his childhood. It's like kids from the '80s being obsessed with ninjas, because everybody was obsessed with ninjas in the '80s.

So i hadn't looked at Zack stuff in i don't know how long and how embarrassing, Besides Critical Drinker, anyone else worth giving a watch?
i watch foundflix and dead meat for horror movie breakdowns and kills, and goodbad flicks for the complete behind the scenes of classic movies

I do like EFAP since they talk about movies in a mostly apolitical way and still find ways to notice why they're bad. They are also Drinker-adjacent. JLongBone is pretty good if you want to watch her roast DEI projects. If you want to watch reviewers who like stuff... well, they're going to be talking about media made about 20 years ago at least and aside from RedLetterMedia, I can't name any others.

You mean people look back on at a time when there was wealth, well paying jobs, societal cohesion, no weird genderblobs, and if someone chimped out you could just string them up from a tree? Wow, I really can’t see why that would be popular to a chunk of society.

Did I fall through another wormhole???
Is this a universe where people weren't buttfucking teenagers in New York City after prohibition?
You piss off the wrong judge you're gonna get hanged.
It's such an over done section of time.
I have no idea why people have any romance about this time period what-so-ever.
"It was better in the 1930's when you could just randomly murder people who pissed you off."
Maybe in fucking Vietnam, or South-West WhoGivesAFuckastan, not in the USA.
"It was better in the 1930's when people had respect for each other."
Exactly what respect was that? If you were poor you were meat for the grinder.
Didn't matter what color you were.
Neat. Has that been the case for 70 years? Because as far back as I can remember in the comics I've read, Batman and even Superman haven't left the 1930's. So when you say "21st Century" what you're really saying is: "My grandpa made this sound cool. I don't know any better."
Blows my mind why people care about this time period at all. We ditched cowboys for being over saturated, but a dick in a fedora walking around having skizoid inner monologues that border on multiple personality disorder--- it's just a candy too sweet to pass up.
The 1930's are in no way superior to today, at all. That's your 'blackpill' showing. Showers are pretty neat huh? Indoor plumbing was JUST becoming part of building code. It wasn't even fully wrapped up until the late 1940's. So most of the people living in these beautiful buildings, smell like shit. Their homes smell like piss, and they bathe once or twice a week. Deodorant? Are you fucking gay?
So you have a bunch of stinky, shit glazed, idiots running around buttfucking teenagers in Times Square, and did I mention people didn't wash their hands before preparing your food? You like pubes in your milk and bread bowl? The 1930's are perfect for you.
I accept that the 80's wasn't as awesome as today. What I isolate about the 80's was the desire to push forward. The limitless potential of the future. That's the important, and meaningful contrast creators of all kinds need to look for today.
Not some sweaty dickhead in a permavirgin hat hunting down smelly teenage prostitutes in a scummy, trash ridden, piss soaked New York City.
If you wanna murder people, join the military. Don't drag it into children's entertainment.

Which means Zack shall ditch Dixon the minute Chuck asks for any minor favor in return just like YBZ ditched CG (although this was in hindsight a good move).
«ChatGPT, write me Cape Fear (the 90s version cuz it's the only one I know) but with Arthur Fonzarelli as Max Cady and the Cunninghams instead of the Bowden Family» Can't believe the guy needs AI to write this tripe unless he plans to do zero editing.

Meyer claims here:
...that "whales" are more forgiving and even more indifferent than average supporters towards behavior of creators said whales follow and support. How the heck does Mr. Sociologist know?
Incidentally, why would Meyer, a purportedly stingy guy who's raised over 1 (or 2?) million dollars from his campaigns need to borrow 30K ?

Cape Fear series in development from Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg
Ninja'd by Spielberg, Zack. What are the odds he saw that this was in development and decided to come up with his shitty idea after that?

Son of a bitch @olorinofhype, did you really just ask Google ai to explain hygiene and sex in the 1930s to you… And then take it at face value when it told you about Weimar Germany = status quo for Americans?
Didn’t you just get done explaining how AI does things that are useful but in need of revision before you bring it out in public? Did you forget that that applies to AI information gathering, too?
You’re a walking taking example of what everyone who doesn’t work with tech instinctively understands about early adopters.
The famous NYC graffiti guys of the 70s and 80s got brain damage from spray paint fumes.
Marie Curie died of radiation poisoning. And here we have you: letting AI do so much thinking for you that you forgot how Google search results prioritize woke shit listicles about how everything before the current year was closeted, bigoted, and gross.

This is what I want to know. Richard, did you not put money aside for your "vEt OwNeD bIdNeSs"?? If you consistently "smash your goal" with your 300 paypigs and make the necessary amount on your funding, why bother asking for a loan? You should be gravy my dude! So what's the problem?

I didn't ask it to explain shit. I asked it to verify what I know about the era. It was gross, the Weimar was the epicenter of Leftoid/Degenerate behavior, do you think it stayed sealed there? Away from the "land of the free"?
If you want to dig deeper, go ahead and search the human sacrifice going on during the 1930's, how families were selling children to feed their OTHER children. This in no way, a superior time. It may in fact, be all to similar to right now.
I don't have a romanticized view of the 80's, I told you. I isolate the desire to push toward to a limitless future. That's it. I don't think perms are cool, I don't think the IROC Camaro is timeless, and I don't ignore that the 80's looked more like a low budget porn than the neon bullshit in the music videos.
The 1930's is an intensely disgusting era in our past. I always wondered why my father and other people from that time didn't smile in photos, and were sort of pissed off all the time. It was because that era stole the future from them. Zoomers and Alphas act similarly. They lived to see what was possible, only to have the promise of the 1920's the rapid expansion of utilitarian technologies in the West---evaporate before they had a role to play in any of those events. This is not a heyday of Americana. NOT. AT. ALL.

If Zack REALLY wanted to get his hands dirty, create a collapsing timeloop that forces a man to live 4 different lives simultaneously. Falling through each one uncontrollably like Quantum Leap, but with an emphasis on a time war. Then he can play around in all the threadbare yesteryear TVLand left-overs he likes. He can channel the disillusioned Assassin's Creed fans in with the time war thing, and falling back into the life of a previously living person (genetic ancestry is up to the author). Then he can play around with AI, and incorporate the AI's narration into the future bits, so it sounds robot-ie to the reader, and then work his way back to having a narration box of just dots as the protagonist must battle for his life as a speechless caveman.
That's for free Zack.
We are kind of there with google search and wikipedia already a brain rot zone for incorrect and biased information. A.I. makes it worse. Writers using A.I. for art makes me think they would use it for the writing too, so you creators out there really will have to do something above and beyond to prove it has any value.
Re: Zack's dumb concept being viable there is a chick flick series Ms Maisel that is the only successful 50s/60s set show still running recently I can think of. I'm sure Ya Soy Zack '24 loves that feminist stuff. Mad Men was a long time ago now. There was an Alfred Pennyworth show set in the 60's? I have never seen anyone mention it at all. Steven King stuff like Christine was ages ago. The revival of Hairspray was as old as Mad Men. It's too late for that kind of concept. Yeah (cough), it was a bad idea.

People like the 1920-50s because it's a classic, timeless aesthetic. it's old enough that it has a sense of magic to it but recent enough that it's recognizable and relatable. Not to mention it was the last real time before the world got ugly, androgynous and dumb.
Also, Did you just reference the weimar republic as evidence that the 30s were degenerate? You do know the weimar was so outside the norm of society at the time that germany turned to the nazis to destroy it.
Nobody is arguing that the past was perfect, but you really just pulled a destiny and typed in "why the 30s sucked" into Google and are pretending all of this is fact and was universal.
Yes, celebrities have always been degenerate, yes, people in cities (during one of the worst financial disaster in human history) are going to do desprate things to survive and a small subset of the population is going to take advantage of that. That does not mean everyone was a smelly degenerate who got lynched by corrupt judges (if it did it all also applies today. Go you to any major city today and tell me the people aren't smelly degenerates and their judges aren't corrupt)
You might as well have posted this unironically
