On Lemmy a lot of times I'd subscribe and it'd always say "pending" but I would indeed be subscribed and see new posts.
lolz looks really interesting.
Oh yeah I saw a writeup of that movie in Foreign Policy of all places:

Pablo Larraín, who did "No", sounds like an interesting director. I wish he hadn't made a composite character tho, the truth sounds just as interesting.
Could be interesting. Hard to tell exactly what it's take on colonialism is. The youtube comments make its sound promising.
We have to go back.
Yes please!
This strip was originally posted on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world. That post involved the original in "four panels in a horizontal row" format as found on the internet, but it had several problems.
- first there was a spelling mistake where it said "...sad an negative" instead of "...and...". Not a big deal tho, maybe it was just an abbreviation like "dunno"?
- that font makes a "G" look like a "6" or a "b". I guess the word still makes sense in context, but it's kind of annoying. Looking at it a bit closer, I'm pretty sure it's a computer font rather than hand-lettered. So I edited all the "G"s to look like "G"s. and since it wasn't hand-lettered and thus more likely a hastily-executed translation by a fan or underpaid assistant, I also changed "an" to say "and". (I should say that the translation was well-done in terms of the words chosen tho; much better than in "Another Top")
- the strip is in traditional "four panels in a horizontal row" format. maybe this looks great in newspapers I dunno but it's kinda hard to read online. The "Another Top" post re-framed this to "four panels in a vertical column" which looks gorgeous on a phone but has problems of its own on a computer. I think I understand now why so many web comics use the "four panels in a square" format, it seems like a nice compromise. In fact, if you look at the "nemi.no" URL, it forwards you to a facebook page where a couple strips have been rather sloppily cut into a square format. I'm not hating on whoever did the quick chop job, maybe they were fans or maybe the artist doing it herself in her spare time. But I think this strip deserves a better presentation, which is why I reformatted it thus.
- the background is also made black, bc the white background just looks weird on a "dark theme" computer. Plus, it's a cartoon about dark culture, lel. The trade-off is that if anyone wants to print out the strip, now they gotta print a lot of black ink. But I'm not sure... do people still print out cartoons these days?
- Added the name of the strip and artist. I think the artist deserves a much higher profile in the US than she currently has. The line art of the goths in panels 2 and 3 is masterful, and the background goths in panels 1 and 4 show a perfect balance of minimalism and detail. Tellingly, the non-goths all look like caricatures of actual people rather than just generic cartoon characters. Importantly, this particular strip isn't just going for a gag, it also aims to expess a truth about "dark culture" and its relationship to the world. Anyway I think the name of the cartoon and its artist deserves to be prominently placed on the image; this isn't usually done on the images floating around the internet. (they often have the "nemi.no" url, but this forwards to a facebook page which doesn't even mention the artist, and which only shows 2-3 entries before refusing to do any more unless you make a facebook account.)
Anyway, this was a great educational experience, it's really instructive to interact with media in this way.

Set in Chicago, the film follows a police officer and a reptile expert who track an enormous, ravenous man-eating alligator flushed down the toilet years earlier, that is attacking residents after escaping from the city's sewers.
...
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an 87% approval rating based on 30 reviews, with an average of 6.8/10.[20] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 62 out of 100 based on 10 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[21]
Vincent Canby of The New York Times gave the film a mostly positive review, writing that its "suspense is frequently as genuine as its wit and its fond awareness of the clichés [it uses]".[22] The staff of Variety concluded: "Dumb as it is, director Lewis Teague brings some plusses to the pic. Robert Forster, as a detective, and Riker are amiable leads, never taking the film too seriously. Tech credits are cheap but serviceable."[23] Roger Ebert, writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, gave the film one out of four stars, suggesting that it would be best to "flush this movie down the toilet to see if it also grows into something big and fearsome."[24]
In 2000, Kim Newman of Empire praised the perceived wit of the film's script, as well as the "solid performances, effective effects", and "spirited B-level direction".[25] In 2007, Entertainment Weekly's Chris Nashawaty called the film "Clever, funny, and wonderfully bloody," and wrote that "[this] B movie deserves an... 'A-'".[26] In 2013, Jim Knipfel of Den of Geek awarded the film four-and-a-half out of five stars, calling it "intelligent and stylish".[27] Film historian Leonard Maltin gave the film a score of three out of four stars, and wrote: "If you've got to make a film about a giant alligator that's terrorizing Chicago, this is the way to do it—with a sense of fun to balance the expected violence and genuine scares."

I started watching Count Dracula (1970) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065569/ - on tubi, however halfway thru I had to go do something and by the time I got back, tubi had enshittified further, such that I had to sign in if I wanted to watch more than the first 15 minutes.
That's too bad, it was pretty good so far. It had Christopher Lee (best known for playing Saruman and Count Dooku) as Dracula. Klaus Kinski, who was in one of my fave movies Aguirre the Wrath of God, was Renfield. It looked like they'd gotten rid of Lord Goddaming bc the american guy (who was no longer american?) was engaged to Lucy. But other than that it seemed fairly faithful to the book.
But that just reminds me again that there's no more Dracula Readthrough here on !vampires@lemmy.zip! Maybe I'll have start reading physical media again?!?!!
