    Seeing this… this is what really old people must feel like when they begin any kind of serious cognitive decline. The world starts looking strange, familiar but somehow wrong, and everyone just acts like this is normal. Things used to make sense, but now everything seems stupid and devoid of meaning and context.

      Everyone has to act like it’s normal or else the person with cognitive decline can become very destructive very quickly.

      I get that feeling all the time now, to the point where I honestly ask myself if I’m personally in cognitive decline.

      For instance, in the next top level comment after yours someone misspelled the subject of their sentence as “get” (presumably instead of “they”) and I stumbled over the sentence a couple of times before understanding that “get” shouldn’t be in there at all. No one else acknowledges it, so I ask myself several times “I didn’t misread this, it’s incorrect right? Is it me?”

      Between AI images, rampant misspellings, understandable ESL snafus, and people just saying full blown gibberish or bizarre political views, I’m hit with something perplexing about once per minute of reading, which has me really considering my mental health.

      Probably because of personalisation. I assume the idea is to eventually present you a hyper targeted advertismebt of a poster (if they aren’t already).

      Or, if they just wanted to get a shot of Kirk from this movie, they could screenshot any of the tens of thousands of frames of him from that very movie, which they own and for which they are making the thumbnail.

    I made a poster for the m4 fan edit of the hobbit for myself in gimp in an hour and it looked better than this slop.

    If only there was some, perhaps bespoke, piece of art with which one could present or advertise a movie to potential viewers…
