I had a good time in the theater. I laughed, I enjoyed the action scenes, I ate a lot of popcorn.

Really the only one that got a chuckle out of me was the Dodge ad for their new EV truck.  The combination of truck ad and erectile dysfunction ad- the two most common ad types during football games (at least until the advent of legalized sports betting sites)- was a clever way for the ad industry to mock itself.

There’s nothing right with it either. It was completely dull and uninteresting, but not bad and certainly not poorly made. It just had no stakes, no new ideas, and didn’t build or expand on any of the concepts of the original story.

-My family encapsulates the nation wide divide over Signs. I really like the movie. My wife really hates the movie, and is still upset we did not walk out of the theater all these years later.

It takes a listicle like this to remind me just how bad Shyamalan is. It begs the question: Has a worse filmmaker ever had such an indelible place in the industry? He’s carved out a niche for himself and is literally the namesake of a piece of film lingo.

You’ll have to let me know why I should care about whether it was a financial hit, other than the assurance that the movies continue to get made. I get no benefit from box office figures.

Words cannot adequately capture just how bad this list is.

Was coming to say the same thing. The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker are the most eminently watchable DC works since Nolan’s films (The Batman subsequently joining that list), and that was much more instrumental than GotG. Agree that WW and Aquaman come closest but fall short.

There’s no doubt Bautista is in the top spot, with a special honorable mention to Andre the Giant, who was damn near perfect in one of the greatest films ever made. There just wasn’t many opportunities for him. Roddy Piper too.

Wait, the Grammy’s are still a thing?  But why?

The MCU is in really rough shape. Phase 4 was more miss than hit and the storytelling got extremely stale. Maybe they’ll get a shot in the arm with the incorporation of the Fantastic Four and X-Men and their related characters, but unless the writing and filmmaking gets back to the Infinity Saga level standards,

Several of these aren’t “theories” any longer. They’re active plotlines that the show has acknowledged.

Non-reaction?  She literally said “What the fuck?”

Thank you!  Forgot about that!

You really must be watching a different show.

I’m not convinced that Jack is keeping Portia away from the party.

The Floater Watch Power Rankings changes every week and I love it. Here are my current power rankings (remember, Mike White said there were “deaths”, emphasis on the pluralization):

*IF* that was Greg????  Really?  If?????

So many thoughts...

Greg is *ABSOLUTELY* the cowboy.  I’m now convinced either Greg or Quentin is the floater.
