I don’t necessarily think it’s Marvel’s direct fault here. I think it’s more that with streaming making so many films available at home so much sooner, people want to go to theaters for the theater experience. Which lends itself to bigger budget, spectacle style movies.

I’m just giving you guff. I’m not enough of a soccer/football person to keep in my head that they are called “goals”. It’s a game, everything has points.

Sorry, I know it was an oversimplification, but I know it was a lot tighter than just “losing by a point”. I was jsut trying to say it wasn’t some massive failure as the MAGA crowd is trying to portray, and was actually a ridiculously close game.

It’s....a sports game? And they lost by one point? How is it “woke”? Cause of blue hair?

I had a Japanese friend in college whose last name was Konda, and she said that her classmates used to tease her when she was heavier in grade school by calling her “Edomondo Konda”.

Granted it’s anecdotal since I deleted Twitter as soon as Musk took over, but any time a link to a Tweet gets sent my way, the replies are full of right wing blue checks. I’ll always think to myself “surely someone has called out this person in the replies” but nope, it’s always blue checks spouting bullshit. Again,…

I very much look forward to the court case where DeSantis tries to claim he was not specifically targeting Disney, despite on-the-record quotes from his cronies saying “we’re targeting Disney!” and his own book saying “we’re targeting Disney!”

This article totally glosses over the real “value” of the blue checkmark: Twitter (or whatever) will promote your posts over non-blue checks. You have more reach and visibility.

Because originally it was supposed to make everyone feel big and important that they got their big boy checkmark, but then everyone just made fun of blue checks. But now they get to hide it, but still presumably get to take advantage of the increased reach and visibility of their verified status, with none of the…

I dunno if it’s just me, but I struggle to keep track of who is who and where is where. I feel like this show has done a pretty poor job of explaining what everyone’s motivations are...why X is bad, and Y is good. Everyone wants Ciri for...reasons. But one place is bad, the other is...less bad? There’s like 12…

It’s a good thing arrested doesn’t mean convicted then.

Oh well if “somebody” “probably” did a thing, you must be an expert on the case then.

A “procedural error” was including a piece of evidence from a completely different case?

There is no world in which one of the richest men on earth is not “the man”.

4 kids with his previous wife, and THREE with his current partner that he was cheating with while still married. Woof, contraception exists.

Also, “Rouge One”.

Was gonna say. It was depressing to read the article about the VFX for Spider-verse, especially when the one guy was like “They say the next one will be out in a year...making you think it’s nearly done. They haven’t even started yet.”

Still waiting for:

I don’t think little people are asking specifically for roles that don’t address their stature AT ALL, they just want something with more nuance than “FANTASY DWARF/ELF/TROLL/LEPRECHAUN”.

I wonder how Morrissey feels about Sinead being variously bisexual and Muslim throughout her life.
