Box office mojo says $15.1M to the Flash’s $15.25M. No Hard Feelings was third for the weekend in per screen average behind Across the Spider-Verse and Asteroid City

I know they had to double down on The Flash since it was in a “too big to fail” situation, but cancelling the Batgirl movie looks like an even dumber decision now, especially when you add in all the good buzz they would have gotten with Brendan Fraser’s recent Oscar win.

You know what could really help DC right now? A Batgirl movie. Why hasn’t anyone made one of those?

Which still doesn’t make abuse OK.

Got it. Abusive workplaces are fine because a lot of workplaces do it.

Geez Phil, nice of you to drop by! 

Got it. Abusive workplaces are fine if you enjoy the product.

(Issues were exacerbated by the fact that hiring in animation often relies on having completed shots from a film to use in your portfolio, which obviously becomes difficult when completed work is being discarded from the final film.)

Feels like today’s Vulture article about how Phil Lord kept changing final & approved scenes over and over again leading to crazy crunch is probably worth adding to the discourse here: https://www.vulture.com/2023/06/spider-verse-animation-four-artists-on-making-the-sequel.html

In hindsight, them charging Baldwin was a pretty clear signal that they had no idea what they were doing.

Seriously, she’s specifically responsible for making sure the weapon she hands to the actor is safe. It’s her job. She didn’t do that and someone died because of it. It should be an open and shut case, I can’t imagine how badly you have to fuck up to not be able to get a conviction and have to resort to shit like ‘she…

It cannot be understated just how much the prosecution has completely bungled this whole fucking thing. I don’t want Gutierrez-Reed burned at the stake, but she should have already been tried and convicted by now. I’ve mentioned this before, but increasingly it’s looking like the AD, who got a $500 and six months…

I heard he’s hung like an angel.

All our perception of time passing has gone doolalley since The Plague. However long ago you think something was, take that number and add three years. It’s caught us out several times recently (trying to work out how long ago such and such a holiday was, etc).

Oh, my yes. I am so sorry. I interviewed him once and just loved the man. How could I forget? 

Leonard Cohen :(

Has it seriously almost been 7 years since she died?

Bowie, Rickman, Prince, Fisher - it was hit after hit. The year SUCKED ROCKS. And don’t get me started on politics. 

It’s funny because a joke in the trailer suggests Ken very much doesn’t know how to fuck.
