I wonder if that’s related to the super-fringe alt-right theory that the Republicans could install Trump as speaker and then impeach/remove Biden and Harris to make him president again. There were a few Q wackos who wanted to do that back when it looked like the Republicans might win the House and Senate.

I go almost daily because I can’t stand Keurig coffee. The app is useful for preordering so I can run out on a work break, and the rewards are a nice bonus. The only other nearby coffee options are gas stations, which are, surprisingly, just as expensive nowadays.

Figured this would happen eventually. Like everyone else, Starbucks raised their prices by 30-40% in the last couple of years, but until now the points required for free beverages remained the same.

One possible concession is a more moderate Republican as speaker with bipartisan support, but that’s probably asking for too much.

After 2022, I’m much more optimistic about the Dems than I was a few years ago. They’re not evolving as quickly as I’d like, but they are evolving.

The thing is, Star Trek: Discovery season 4 and Strange New Worlds season 1 both filmed on a Volume-style virtual set, and the cinematography was stunning. I have no clue why the Disney+ shows look so muddy in comparison.

The Lone Ranger was a huge flop for Disney as well. Combined with Depp’s personal issues and lack of professionalism while filming, I’d be surprised (and disappointed) if they brought him back.

“Check your app, pal, because you’re watching Fuck City, now streaming on HBO Max!”

He went on ALEX JONES? Holy shit, I can’t wait for next week’s Knowledge Fight podcast!

Huge Star Trek fan since birth. TNG and its era were my jam as a kid, but I like the Kelvin movies for what they are. While I love my morality plays and spatial anomalies, I think there’s room in the franchise for all kinds of stories and genres, including action movies, comedies, etc.

You’re right, but I don’t think stupidity is to blame. COVID greatly accelerated the “theater to streaming” pipeline, especially for animation, and studios are still playing catchup. In a few years, I’d wager that movies like this will either no longer exist, or go straight to streaming on significantly lower budgets.

Don’t forget to set up an alternate login if you use Twitter to access Kinja or any other accounts!

What the hell are regionals?

I’m 100% here for a Pirates movie led by Margot Robbie or Karen Gillan. If they can get Hans Zimmer back to score it, even better.

The new characters never have a chance, with Jack Sparrow still hanging around and chewing all the scenery.

Rider Strong wasn’t wrong, but I don’t think BMW would’ve been greenlit if it had included more mature themes and content, at least not in the U.S.

The families aren’t a monolith, though, and if none of them responded, that should’ve been a hint to Murphy that it was too soon to be making a flashy, true-crime drama out of the Dahmer murders.

Gets rid of all that pesky institutional knowledge.

Going solely by the headline, I was expecting a Jeopardy! style rotating host arrangement that pisses everyone off.
