I used the opening of He War for my voicemail back when I still had a Nokia. My grandmother hated calling me.

I hope he didn’t compound his misery by watching it too.

Remember a decade ago when some company had the brilliant idea to rename Scrabble, which then made them tens of millions of dollars?

One “good guy” tries to free the house elves in a subplot played mainly for laughs as that character annoys the shit out of all the other “good guys” with their overzealous attempts to change a system that’s “worked just fine” for years.

Sadly not surprising all these stereotypes are in a series that is a love letter to the elite Old Etonian boarding schools that have served as a great bastion for WASPy males.  

What’s even funnier is that when she was asked if there were any Jewish characters in Harry Potter, she randomly said “Anthony Goldstein”.

You mean to tell me that the TERF Wizard Lady who included a subplot in her books arguing that slavery is ok if the slaves are happy being slaves and whose only Asian and Irish characters are named “Cho Chang” and “Seamus Finnegan” respectively also had antisemitic stereotypes?/s

Ultimate Spider-Man made him a Crocodile Hunter-esque TV star.
Even better would be to make him a Tiger King type.

Did anyone even realize it was scheduled for January? This may be the least anticipated “Marvel” movie ever.

He mailed out those blood and jizz packets MONTHS ago and then Delta and then Omicron and nobody has picked up their mail, they’ve just been sitting there in everybody’s inbox DRYING OUT, WHY does he even BOTHER ACTING?

“The plot is pretty Basic.”

ok but to be fair to musicals *ducks out of way of incoming thrown objects* TO BE FAIR TO MUSICALS they are supposed to work the same way, the songs come when words cannot fully express the emotion of the characters and the music acts as a representation of the emotional conveyance between real people, one that cannot…

At one point in Spaceballs, the characters watch themselves on a VHS tape of the movie they are currently making so they know where to go next.

Get out (of my dreams and into my car).

Warner Bros, apparently.

I lost the edit window on this so I’ll just add that between 1994 and 2013, inflation accounted for a 1.6x change in dollar value. Applying that to the 5.5x increase in net profit still puts the GTA profit ratio at 3.4x DKC. And also where I said ‘net profit’ I meant ‘gross profit’. Damnit Jim, I’m a software…

That’s easy enough. I wrote about this in an article a few months ago, which unfortunately I can’t find so I’ll just cover the key points.

There is a huge mental dissonance between publishers telling their stock holders that they “had the biggest year ever when it comes to profits”, and then turning around and telling customers that “costs for making games keep going up and prices never moved for years”
