Are you completely unfamiliar with the Nickelodeon network? Serious question. 

That’s not what that phrase means. It means to disrespect someone or do them dirty. It sometimes has a sexual context—in the sense of using someone for sex, which seems to be how it’s used in this track—but it has nothing to do with ejaculating specifically.

I can’t remember the name of it, but there was this sort of platformer/puzzle thing back in the PS3 era where you were in some kind of post-apocalyptic setting and had to continually climb this huge structure to get to safe ground or whatever. It was super short and wasn’t all that fun, but it was an interesting…

You’re kinda burying the lede here. Not counting Barbie or adaptations of books, you have 7 out of 13 that are either sequels or are otherwise based on existing properties. 

Perhaps you’ve heard of this little indie gem called fucking BARBIE?!? Also there was Asteroid City, The Blackening, Joy Ride, Haunted Mansion, Strays, and Bottoms. Sounds like you just weren’t paying attention lol.

I worked at a big AMC theater from 2005-2009 and can confirm the auditoriums (and the theater as a whole) were only thoroughly cleaned at night. For our main screens (between 400-500 seats), we would get someone to run a push broom down every aisle and then everyone else would sweep it up with porter pans. Smaller…

The impetus for this conversation really arose from the big theater chains starting to crack down on minors going to R-rated movies. I believe I remember AMC making a big deal—like, it was reported on the news and such—that they would start carding at the door for R-rated movies when Hannibal came out in 2001. I…

We’ve needed a rating between PG-13 and R for a very long time. Or, at the very least a recalibration of what defines PG-13. IMO, we need to go back to the pre-PG-13 definition of PG and reserve PG-13 for what we might call “soft R” films. The King’s Speech should’ve been the catalyst for such a change, but instead…

Not only that, but there were TWO competing sets of disaster movies with remarkably similar premises in the late 90s: Armageddon and Deep Impact, and Dante’s Peak and Volcano. Not only THAT, but each of those pairs also had contemporary made-for-TV ripoffs: Asteroid and Volcano: Fire on the Mountain, respectively.

I legitimately think the author may have confused M:I with M:I 2. It’s been too long to remember either very well, but I seem to recall M:I 2 having at least 2 twists related to the Facemaker. Even as a kid I thought it was lazy writing lol. Especially when you consider Woo was fresh off Face/Off when he made M:I 2.

I actually assumed it was supposed to be a miniseries limited series (sorry, I just can’t help but make fun of that linguistic switcheroo) and was having severe Mandela Effect moments when I saw ads pop up for it again that, to my knowledge, don’t mention that this is the second season. I kept being like, didn’t this…

It’s just refreshing to see practical effects still being done these days with the absolutely sensory overload of the modern CGI blockbuster spectacle. One of my biggest problems with CG-heavy films that they’re totally disorienting; so much shit flies at me so quickly that I can’t even process it or even be excited…

It’s only a mobile thing as far as I know; I’ve gotten it as an unfortunate Chrome iOS user. I can’t imagine anyone on this site in 2023 doesn’t use adblock on PC browsers.

Vin Diesel is currently developing a Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots film with Universal and Mattel. I can’t decide whether your joke is funnier knowing that you were intentionally referring to that, or if you weren’t.

Do you not think they could come up for a reasonable explanation for how a character whose life is dedicated to driving directly into deadly natural disasters died at some point in the last 27 years?

Posted this in a couple of other comments, but Blockbuster Online sold all their discs off in stores when it shut down. They were all just in the little paper sleeves they put inside the mailing envelopes, and were priced accordingly—I think it was like $2 for DVD and $4 for BD. I stocked up on a bunch of BDs, put…

When Blockbuster Online shut down, they sold all their discs in the stores, still in the mailing sleeves. I think they charged $2 for DVD and $4 for BD, or something like that. They were super cheap anyway. I bought several BDs, put them in generic cases, found a site with high-quality 300dpi scans of cover art, and…

Not sure if you have the answer to this, but how does selling former rental copies work in that case? Do they have to officially end the license, or do they naturally expire, or what? I’ve bought a ton of formal rentals from various stores over the years, including a bunch of BDs from Blockbuster Online when that went…

WB USA and WB Japan are totally different entities though. It’s not like they have the same group of people posting to the English-language and Japanese Twitter accounts. Plus it’s not at all new to see international arms of the same company at odds with each other. It’s happened many times in the video game industry;…

I don’t know what it cost when he went there in the 80s and 90s, but the private boarding school he went to currently has tuition fees of $41k for day students and $70k for boarding students.
