I don’t necessarily agree with all the points made here, but some things are worth pointing out… ‘Every member of Forbes’s 2021 cryptobillionaires list is a man. A third of them attended Stanford or Harvard. Out of the 12 listed, only one isn’t white. The web3 narrative feels …Somedays you just have to get back to the basics, you know… #NowPlaying

This is was long and had occasional pacing issues but I’m SO GLAD I finally got to see it and on the big screen! As someone who loves storytelling and world-building and who grew up as a HUGE mythology geek, I really liked this!

We are older than Google Photos, Timehop, and …Respectfully, Facebook — now Meta— and Zuck can all fuck off, now!
