One of those white dudes is getting a female co-lead, though, and the movie is genuinely moving forward.

Well, to be fair, they are making a Captain Marvel movie.

"I'm gonna try to avoid doing the "size" expansion trick"

I'm apparently lucky in that my parents are both solid Democrats who go to a Unitarian church. We never have political arguments beyond "can we please stop talking about politics?"

No! It's too cruel!

Exactly. You don't want to rely on it, but it helps me destress occasionally after a tough day, and I do appreciate it for that.

It tends to be either the best or worst thing in that situation. It's good that you know which.

Hope you're feeling better.

If I saw it and had missed Friedkin's credit, I would have assumed it was a Michael Mann picture for certain.

My parents visited, and looked at some real estate (they'll be moving here at some point), and we took them out for some nice food, showed them the first three episodes of The Good Place (which they really enjoyed), and then pretty much crashed after they left. Nice weekend, but a bit tiring.

Considering that it opened more than $60 million behind, the fact that it's closed the gap that much is pretty impressive.

I saw Krampus and To Live and Die in LA. Krampus was pretty mediocre; To Live and Die in LA is the most 80s non-Michael Mann thing I've ever seen.

Sorry. Hope your mom is ok.

Yeah, I was looking at some old threads with my old account (and my old avatar), and I realized I missed it.

Wonder Woman is now ahead of where Man of Steel and Suicide Squad were at this point in their runs (domestically, at least), and is about $22 million behind Batman v. Superman, though it's earning much more on a daily basis. Right now, worst-case scenario is that it ends its run a close second, but more than likely it…

How was your weekend, weirdos?

Well, better him than Alex Jones, who you know is always covered by a thin layer of Papa John's pizza grease.

At least he's aging better than Alex Jones.

Holy mother-forking shirtballs!

Think of the stupidest person you've ever met, and realize that there are stupider people. Those people are big Alex Jones fans.
