This isn’t a ticket giveaway. This is a movie encouraging people to buy more tickets for a movie they’ve already seen, to either give to family members or to “send a message.”

Listen here, you:

And his most recent movie is currently underperforming in theaters so maybe he’s not the movie messiah people say he is and we can take a break from the endless thinkpieces about him?

Superior Spidey was great. I loved how he used traditional villain methods to do heroic stuff, I loved how over-the-top seriously he took himself, and I loved how he left all the other heroes going “What the hell is wrong with Peter lately?”

Be-urrrrp, behold, Morty! The ultimate pog!

Pet Rocks, I Can Has Cheezeburger, and Where’s the Beef all have Wikipedia articles.

That’s not selfish, it’s a beautiful dream which will benefit all mankind.

Same with Alpha 3, which has at least three distinct versions (the arcade, the home console port which adds a bunch of new characters and stages, and Alpha 3 Max, which adds even more and rebalances everyone.)

FFS, it’s about child trafficking, something I think we maybe all could get behind as a good reason to at least support the message.

Sure, Jan.

How does going to see a movie protect children?

When rightists look at a news article and somehow think it’s a movie review, you know red state education standards are as low as ever.

People already knew child trafficking existed. People already think it’s bad. This movie doesn’t expose anything. It just dramatizes a horrible social problem and makes money from it.

They haven’t shut down Cartoon Network Studios. They just moved the operation into a new building.

CN has always used foreign studios for inbetween work. Involving Chinese or Korean studios is not going to work as a threat to the union given that they’ve already been working with them for over 20 years.

Fair enough, but I never said I was giving them my money.

I don’t think it’s “intentionally diminished” since that’s not much of a business strategy.

thousands stole access to their service

Perhaps they did, but the CW DC shows are objectively much more successful than the movies are, and it’s funny to me that everyone in charge at WB seems to look down on them.

I doubt the movie’s quality had anything to do with the decision to shelve it. These people released Suicide Squad and Justice League.
