If you mean not beating Dune’s opening weekend, I could see that, but if you mean finishing second to Dune in Dune’s third week in theaters I think that is impossible. Dune can only drop from the $15 mil it made this weekend, and there is no way a Marvel movie is opening lower than that. Even The Suicide Squad made…

The resemblance is uncanny.

I don’t know when it happened, but some time in the last few hours they actually fixed the spelling of Hilaria Baldwin AND fixed the rest of the multiple errors in that sentence to make it readable. I guess in this case it was actually bad enough that someone felt the need to update it.

I could go as far as “fine,” they were at least coherent and effective. I just watch a LOT of action flicks and its always a bummer when mid-to-big budget movies can’t deliver an action sequence as exciting as some of the lower budget and Direct-to-Video/Streaming stuff I watch. But Old Guard didn’t have endless…

Considering the middling reviews and seeming lack of excitement for Eternals I’m guessing it will do fine but not great. It is bonkers to me that the Venom sequel might end up being the second highest grossing movie in 2021 domestic box office. I imagine the next Spider-Man will make more, but that releases December…

Yeah, I was just reproducing their typo, that’s why I put it in quotes.

When I was 14 or 15 my friends and I were partying and getting tore up, then we decided to go trick or treating... with a mob of twenty or so of us aged 13-21 (at least half of us were in costume, at least). Just rolling through the nieghborhood getting candy from people with panicked looks on their faces. That was…

Hot damn, my notification about your reply actually worked also!

Fuck you are right, I don’t know where I got that math. Man, she didn’t look super young but I am surprised she was already 30+ years old when she did the stretch of movies in ‘95-97 that gave 12 year old me a crush on her (a crush strong enough that I watched Space Truckers and Meet Wally Sparks each more than once).

Even blatantly wrong info stays the same, its been 22 days since the newswire about the comic Saga coming back that still says the show Invincible is an adaptation of a Vaughn comic (its not, that comic is by Robert Kirman, they probably meant Y the Last Man which IS based on a Vaughn comic.) It also hilariously said…

“Deadline says Hilarious Baldwin was filming the interaction and repeatedly not to give specific details, but the report says that he “took control” at one point and told her, “do me a favor, I’m going to answer the questions.”

This article is saying that because the digital storefront for the European eShop is based in Germany that Techland can’t sell Dying Light to ANY European country, not just Germany. The “physical” address of Nintendo’s digital storefront is limiting them.

Apparently he told them he was Pee-wee during the arrest, and he offered to do a children’s benefit for the sheriff’s office to make it go away. Then a local reporter recognized his name after the arrest, and Reubens’ attorney made the same offer to that reporter’s paper to do a benefit if they didn’t publish the…

I mean yeah, the media angle is predictable, but that’s not the point you were making in either of your previous comments.

Because cops suck. No one at a porn theater calls the cops to complain about someone wacking it, vice cops just occasionally lurked or raided them to drum up easy arrests. And that was the case here. He wasn’t hurting or bothering anyone, no one complained or called the cops, he was just easy pickings for asshole cops…

Ripping off Satoshi Kon? That’s Darren Aronofsky’s job, dammit!

Its so frustrating when comedians make a joke that doesn’t get a laugh and immediately accuse an audience of being too sensitive. Sure, they might be offended, but laughter is a pretty involuntary reaction, so if you say something that is offensive AND funny then at least a decent chunk of the audience would still…

“It’s believed that Ana and Barron had been having an affair,”

Stopping and frisking people because they look “suspicious” (aka not white) to try and create an unprompted arrest is not at all comparable to figuring out better ways to monitor people who have already demonstrated targeted violent and unstable behavior. Fuck off with your slippery slope bullshit.

oh man, you nailed it. I just made a shorter reply referencing O’Neal specifically, but you hit on another important thing I missed: as a pop culture nerd I appreciated that writers felt knowledgeable about things they were criticizing/appreciating/anticipating/snarking on. I used to feel like the writers here knew…
