There's are two big aspects here actually.

The Godfather series was the authors first ever screenplay. He famously had no idea what he was doing and didn't really understand the scriptwriting format yet. He has a famous anecdote where after the movies came out he went to try and actually learn how to write a movie and he saw his own work as an example of what to do.

It's The Godfather Part 2, the sequel to an already successful movie that later became known as one of the best films of all time... There's a juxtaposition there where it would be expected for there to be mastery involved but the thing above is stating that it was so poorly written that the great story and the success of the previous one wasn't enough for any studios to want to make it.

However... I think you can safely ignore both as I don't think the guy who originally made it was thinking more than "damn this is some good kush"

Them moving their mouth too much made the AI think they were distracted driving and would dock them for it.

 
 
 

This is a classic but I had to make sure it was in this community.

Libertarians are some of the funniest people on the planet. They just say literally anything about what they believe and I can't stop laughing.

Aww big bad government is stopping companies from harvesting human bodies for profit? That's so sad...

That description does not make me see this as promising

On a practical and serious level, I know that...

But it gets me every time because the wording sounds so final! It doesn't actually impact any of my movie plans but it does make me chuckle when I see it.

Something about the phrase "exclusively in theaters on [date]" always makes me laugh.

Why would they spend this much money on marketing if they were exclusively putting it in theaters for 1 day? Wouldn't it be better to at least get the weekend or longer?

What if I'm busy that day?

Yeah I'm definitely not complaining. I'm just pointing out that the show was never cancelled... It's just a really slow show to make because almost all of the pre production is just 1 guy

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The show was never at risk of not being renewed. The main issue slowing the production is that Seth MacFarlane wants to write every single episode by himself.

This whole thing is a personal fanfiction that he got money to make into a real show.

Fines need to scale based on the wealth of the perpetrator. It should be an equal punishment for breaking the law.

Including joke reviews, the game had a 16% rating and was so poorly made that within those 2 days it killed the popularity of both Culling games extremely quickly.

The first game was popular because it was a twist on the genre while the 2nd one was a quickly thrown together (almost exact) clone of DayZ.

The word scam was thrown around a lot in those 2 days.

It's definitely not the fastest but it's really close.

The fastest full shutdown currently belongs to The Culling 2 which only lasted 2 days between launch and being closed completely.

The Day Before is another big example of a game that lasted an incredibly short time but despite that game lasting 4 days before no longer being sold, the games servers stayed on much longer than that meaning that it was shut down after Concord despite being cancelled before it.
