Yeah, this is something that's puzzled me for a while now. It appears federation and instances only splinter like-minded communities. !headphones@whereveryourlemmy.instance is just one of too many examples.
I came to say just the opposite: the show is lesser than the sum of its parts. It's not cerebral, it's just boring.
The acting is above par, the characters are semi-interesting, the screenwriting shoots mostly above the bar. And yet somehow...yawn city. All the qualities you mentioned regarding the writing are exactly why it trods along; at the end of the day, the drama is just not gripping. And I so wanted to like it, don't ask me why.
It can't even get a theme song right. Go ahead...whistle/hum/sing it. I'll wait. Five dollars say you can't even remember it.
Oh, and I liked The Orville. A lot.
Ooh, now…while I will say The Right Stuff is a great film, I won't say it's the superior film. I'm not saying First Man was better either. What I will say (finally! 😁) is that they are two films covering very similar subject matter with two totally different approaches. The Right Stuff was a cowboy movie in comparison!
Zuck and Musk and Jeff just want to make more money.
Are you sure about that? None of the ~~three~~ four listed below would ever have to get out of bed ever again, pills, powders and prostitutes included. How much money is enough for one person?

Don't think it's ever just "want to make more money". Only Uncle Scrooge wants that.
Oh, BTW, which "fascist regime" was Oppenheimer in a race with again? Careful now.
Thanks for the post. Just a suggestion: continue to link to YouTube and let the @PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks do its thing auto-creating redirect links.
Thanks for that! I thought it was me. I'd just removed an offending post but looking at the community from another instance, unfortunately the post is still there (and still getting downvoted!).
To both @CoachDom@lemmy.blahaj.zone and @Tenthrow@lemmy.world...
Be zen about it and find peace in the fact that you aren't with your partners because of their respective cinematic tastes.
She watched the whole film and said “Ok, this was pretty amazing”
See what I mean? That just says how much she loves you. She doesn't give a hominid's ass about Kubrick's film. 😂
No amount of "conditioning" (watched properly?!? 🤣🤣🤣) is going to change that. Peace!
EDIT: Ha! Forgot to say YES, 2001 is definitely one of the genre's most important films as well as cinema in general. It defined the look of all things "outer space" since. Of course it did: why else would NASA have employed Kubrick and Co. to fake the moon landing? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry I'm so late to the party but...
I definitely agree that First Man, quoting you, "create(s) moments from NASAs history in such a way that it feels like you are there in the cockpit". Another thing I found interesting was how dry the film was: Gosling's Armstrong was so timid, almost verging on the autistic; the only "dramatic" performance in the entire film was that of Claire Foy and even she was subdued. This definitely wasn't The Right Stuff! 😁
Watch on the biggest screen you can manage, and envelop yourself in sound.
I'd say this for all cinema really, but I couldn't agree more in this case. Nice summation!
With all due respect, have you actually visited !moderators@lemmy.world before? You will learn nothing there, unfortunately. There are four admins/moderators, 19 perfectly legitimate questions and not one reply to any of them.
Yeah, we're on the same page. One thing I found amusing is that you had to specify which Justice League, like it mattered. 😂 Is one more or less realistic or processed than the other?
The Ocean's Eight posters, regardless of which, all suffer from the same flaw: all of the actresses are culled from separate photo shoots/sources. After all the resizing, color correction and conforming, it's inevitable they look as processed as an individually-wrapped cheese slice. Cheers!
