Oh, I had quite a few more minuses than “boring” (unfortunately). Alcohol never really did me any favors, it just anesthetized me. It separated me from myself.

I have been sober since July 8th. It’s been occasionally horrible, but it’s still going. This is the longest I’ve ever managed it. (There have been many stretches in my life where I was intoxicated 24/7)

Mantis’s powers require physical contact in order for her to “ease someone into contentment” or “make a stubborn person compliant.”

Yeah, I was just having the same thought. They fired James Gunn for pretty much the same reason.

If your antidepressants make you fat, and do nothing to improve your quality of life, they are not working.

I made guacamole from scratch.

You can sit OVER THERE.

Robert Iger is the head of Walt Disney Company. Everyone who works at Disney ultimately reports to him.

You you are correct, it is domestic gross. Overseas gross counts (of course!) but there are so many variables in that number that it’s not always the best metric when making a comparison. Unique exchange rates making adjustment for inflation practically impossible, different countries getting different films, concepts…

Weeeeeeell, Groot died shielding the Guardians from the Dark Aster’s crash impact and the Dark Aster crashed because.... Rocket went ballistic and rammed into with his own craft. Rocket killed Groot. Gunn confirms this in the commentary as he explains how each Guardian is constantly making mistakes - *horrible*…

That’s just the cherry, really. She can do it and she’s absolutely earned it. She’s also made a point of mentoring other women in the industry, which I deeply respect.

I’m absolutely certain that’s what the meeting with Taika this week was about and he was all,

What exactly do you think they’ve been doing all week? Trust me, they’ve been whiteboarding the shit out of this crisis and taking every director in their stable to lunch. It’s not like Gunn fucked up on the set and was dragged away swearing. No competent director is going to risk his (and definitely not her!) health…

Or they could proceed with the merger and totally reorganize their studio division. Send Alan Horn off into retirement in a golden parachute, and give his job to Kathleen Kennedy. 

Alan Horn did this, not Disney. (What else is Kevin Feige going to say, apart from “Yes, sir?”)

Sony doesn’t have a $70 billion acquisition in the pipeline, approved by the shareholders and on its’ way to the Federal regulatory examination phase (i.e. the point at which the fat orange monstrosity could swiftly kill the deal, simply bc some director said means things about him on Twitter).

Pedophilia is a serious crime. Calling someone a pedophile on any public broadcast media, when no criminal complaint exists, would be defamation per se. If anyone did that to me, the lawsuit would be instantaneous and substantial.

Little late to the conversation here but, as the owner of well-traveled 90 lb German Shepherd, I have to say: If my dog is on one side of a patio fence and I’m on the other, I no longer have immediate control of the dog. A responsible dog owner must have clear and obvious control of their dog at all times.  

Remember, remember - the 6th of November!

Scrolled down for this! The Incredible Hulk is the MCU’s only bomb.
