    Why is our planet so boring and stupid?

    Because billionaires want it to only be interesting and beneficial to themselves and their class.

      This. Because billionaires want you to be trapped in that room. They did the streaming service roll-out, after all.

      They don’t even want it to be interesting, they want it to be semigloss white, stainless steel and glass. They have no imagination. The most interesting thing they can come up with is white mega yachts and Infinity pools. They can’t fathom the mood of a creaky old wooden fishing trawler chugging seawards into a misty sunrise.

        Can I say?
        Every fucking movie that ends with a “utopia” where everyone is just smiling in a white void of a room with no color or joy to it? Makes me feel very much like that isn’t a utopia and just shows how unimaginative the people we let tell us how the world should be are.

            So lots of older stuff does, SciFi had that all over the place, Tomorrowland and Mr, nobody and all that.

            I am upset cause I have been trying to find the most recent one I saw and can’t place it. Some streaming movie that had the main character leading a group of people to fix up the city and it was like they had literally done pickup shots in an empty studio and it was just played as being a few years in the future.

            Also see doctor who.
