This is what bland, AI generated crap looks like, folks. But you can still make your own entertainment library. Buy an external hard drive and start a collection of your favorite movies/series (while you still can).

I don't watch these, but they make a lot of sense. I've watched movies sometimes and been disappointed that there are no similar movies for me to watch. If you like a generic Hallmark movie you'll have infinite content.

Damn, if in one movie he'd wear red and she green that would be a revolution I guess.

I assume this was the same for the Harlequin Romance Novels too? I knew a few women over the years that had a bunch of these books. They seemed to digest them like monthly magazines.

In some ways it's sort of a business dream to be able to keep repacking the same nuts and bolts to make something slightly different for consumers who will keep paying. It's pretty efficient.

Still I've not read a Harlequin Romance nor have I seen a Hallmark movie. This doesn't mean I've not seen all of the Star Wars movies or a good majority of the Marvel ones.

Madden. FIFA. Call of Duty.

LitRPGs are like that, too.

Swing sword. Cast spell. Numbers go up. Defeat dragon. Complete quest. Numbers go up. Dungeon dive. Cool loot. Numbers go up.

I love them. I've read four this week.

To be fair, there are only 7 basic plots that exist

I laugh at this meme while kicking pile of DVDs all with zombies in foreground with boobs and spaceships in background

They sound like good movies. Any recommendations?

these are targeted at boomers who are already programmed to feel guilty about about any decision that effects profit margins.

I feel like these movies are like pop songs. I just picture a big factory somewhere where they produce these things en masse.
