  1. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or advocating violence will be removed.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Cloud Atlas is the one with Tom Hanks, and I agree it wasn't worth sticking through since i think it was like 3 hours long. I never saw Atlas Shrugged, but I'm guessing it's also pretty heavy on the propaganda considering the source material.

Cloud Atlas was a pretty decent book but it was always going to be difficult to make into a movie. Didn't bother watching the film.

There’s a TV miniseries that’s kind of ok. You have to take any ideology with a grain of salt, they all have at least some flaws. Some more than others….
