They barely feed their population. What makes you think they'd vaccinate them? Especially with vaccines from the big, bad West.

Yeah and the segment of die hard film buffs is shrinking as streaming television shows (or "long form" storytelling) has overtaken movies in popularity and quality.

I did not, but that is interesting having read that comment chain (I have no problem with spoilers hehe). I haven't watched that one yet, but the way it sounds and from what was said in the episode before we kind of knew she cheated on him as well. It's clear that relationship is toxic and the "intimacy and closeness" they have is completely fake.

The adultery is clearly viewed in a negative light. It isn’t depicted in a sexy way at all but a critical one.

Sometimes too much time is harmful too. West World and GRR Martin’s writing between his books are good examples of that. Sometimes if you have too much time you over think it and get in your own way.

It’s not that they intentionally do it. Nobody puts out lesser quality on purpose, it just can happen when you either are high on your ego which leads into pretentious bullshit (West World) or when the pressure and expectation is so high you crumble with the anxiety which can lead to writers block and stifles the creative juices.

Sunk cost fallacy? Once you’ve doubled down so many times its really hard to admit you were wrong.

I loved that movie. I know so few people that have even heard of it.
