I really REALLY do not understand the point of a cannabis-infused MEAL. The whole thing with THC and food is that it stimulates your appetite, which makes your food taste subjectively BETTER.

An old supervisor of mine actually directed the 2006 *Eragon*. A lot of us felt a warm, mean-spirited tingle when it turned out to be a piece of shit.

Yet another example that the gig economy is just a bunch of rent-seekers reaping all the reward while shouldering none of the risk.

Things that will happen before Channing Tatum stars in a Gambit movie:

> things worked out pretty well the last time a star was attached to a superhero role for years and manifested his movie into existence through sheer willpower.

Living in NZ for a year, yeah.. ice blocks for popsicles.

I am just old enough that growing up in the near north burbs of Chicago, I called it ‘pop’, since my father (who grew up on the north side of the city proper) called it that.

House of 1000 Corpses at least looked like a MOVIE. It’s really shocking how much frame rate and color grading affect our perception of moving images.

I can see where he’s going with the production design and acting style, and those are all fine. Even quite good!

counterpoint: I was 14 in ‘82. I saw The Thing in the theaters. If I’d had a movie theater connection I ABSOLUTELY would have snagged a poster.

‘Bird Box’ the movie was awful and bad. A good idea wasted.

Tiny Toons also did “Particle Man”.

It seems like when some WB exec FINALLY got around to reading *Flashpoint*, it finally occurred to them that they COULD, in fact, have a TV Flash AND a movie Flash and the self-selecting audience would not, in fact, be confused. Of course, this came AFTER 30+ years of awful decisions.

> outside of *Cars 2*, Pixar hasn’t made a “bad” movie

Redbox- for all the Fathom Event special releases you couldn’t be assed to get up for on a sunday morning.

and this movie’s more or less direct ancestor, *Splice*.

It also keeps Cheetos off the market, thus decreasing their competition. I mean, even original crunchy Cheetos sound about 1000x better than ‘sweet paprika’, which is BARELY a flavor.

back in the early 90's I lived in a far south suburb of Cleveland, Medina. It was a HUGE FUCKING DEAL when they opened the SUPER K-mart. It was enormous. Everything in a bigbox store PLUS a full-on grocery store.
