I get the comparison but it kinda falls apart when there were several different theatrical versions with a number of varied scenes.

Which is an asinine explanation that simply doesn’t hold water, given that there were supposedly multiple ‘alternate’ theatrical versions. 🤷‍♂️

To be honest, I prefer “Across” and “Beyond” rather than Pt. 1 and Pt. 2.  Imagine if there was an “Empire Strikes Back Part 1".

Watched it last night. I am ultra burnt out on Marvel movies, but these animated Spider Man flicks have both been great. They feel really authentic, like the people working on them wanted to make something special. I loved whenever the background got really abstract.

I get this argument, I really do, but it gives short-shrift to the simple fact that $70 is no small amount to the average person, who maybe doesn’t want to feel the phantom hand of a publisher reaching into their pocket for more money every ten minutes.

I mean... Fury of the Gods wasn’t garbage, but okay.

How long until TV’s Zachary Levy only does Christian/Right Wing propaganda films? I would not be shocked to see him in Sound of Freedom 2 or some Pure Flix piece of shit.

Look, say what you will about Zuckerberg - Lord knows that he deserves condemnation for all sorts of reasons.

Heck, he could give away half his net worth, contribute more to charity than anything like this could ever raise in a century, and still have more money than he could ever hope to spend.

he apparently thought they could make this a legitimate charity competition

“Disaster tourism” is, sadly, a fuckin’ thing. 

Having your audience vote on your creative decisions is a fantastic way to get them deeply emotionally invested whilst inevitably setting them up for disappointment and absolute spittle-flecked rage directed at you for not giving them exactly what they expected.

White Rabbit is yet another case of cryptobros* desperately looking for some use - any actually useful use - for NFTs other than ‘pure speculation’ and settling on a solution that’s already done better and easier without them. Like in this case ‘only the $10/mo and up members of my Patreon get to vote on the plot’…

Yeah, I agree that it seems highly plausible that a Texas politician is lying to push racism. But the alternative doesn’t seem too farfetched to me, that a young child growing up in a deeply racist household (because Texas) was “traumatized” by school materials that didn’t match what their parents said.

Republicans in Texas of all places LYING? gasp

Sure. Lots of projection. 

Let’s be honest, the parent found out about the poster and was traumatized, the kid never was.

Let’s assume for a second the first grader was really traumatized. Holy cow that kid must be having some kind of home experience to learn this. 

That story about the traumitzed child SHOULD shock you. It’s an example of a politician straight out lying to try and support a dubious position.

i mean if you’ve gone almost 30 years why not just keep the streak alive?
