The lion kingdom never got 1 like on that program. Would agree that a dating profile had to be in your face & over the top to get any attention, but

29k sounds like the polite answer in the midwest under 30. It's more like 300k in Calif* over 50. Lions make 0 & either put it all in a tax deferred retirement account or are unemployed. If you're a lion, you either don't exist or are slowing way way down at dating time.







The lion kingdom finished Everything Everywhere all at once in an attempt to predict what a back rooms movie would be like, since the same studio bought the rights.  The 1st 30 minutes might have been bearable, but it was downhill from there.  It was the worst Matrix sequel ever made (resurrections) which didn't take itself seriously.

The high IMDB rating once again reflected the manely middle age, male sci-fi watching IMDB userbase.



After surviving all the matrix sequels, the most novel bit might have been the husband's resemblance to Tech Lead.


By 90 minutes, started wondering if they really cast Tech Lead.  The heroine resembles mom in middle age many years ago.  Fortunately, there was only 1 scene where she died & few scenes of torture.  The hero's journey involves mom evolving from very humble aspirations to saving the multiverse.  In typical Matrix fashion, there are many cuts between many universes where she lived different lives.  The antagonist is her daughter who is trying to take over all the universes.


There's a poignant flash back to a long distant time when owning a laundromat was a big deal to someone with nothing. Of course, it becomes the mom's job to manetain the husband's dream.



There's an image of mom living in the future.





The laundromat is a real place in San Fernando, but no-one is living in an upstairs apartment.  These are neighborhoods time forgot, but lions may have to live in when the money runs out.  Few animals today have seen a laundromat, let alone the laundry palaces which existed 40 years ago.



1 thing about big movies today is they're all in chinese with english subtitles.  



A back rooms movie is going to be another sharknado if it happens.  The disappointing bit about internet stars selling their concept as a movie right is they never make any more content. It happened to myboot.com.  Usually, the movie never materializes & the great idea just disappears.  It was extremely lucky that Kane Pixels was picked, rather than the thousands of other gootubers who copied his idea.  Normally, the inventor doesn't get paid but the money goes to the copies who eventually refine the idea.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
