Crazy how they have a heavy Star Trek fanbase but want to produce Westerns and for some reason they think Cop Shows are a happy middle ground? This article even mentions how Star Trek is a big part of their fan base but mentions nothing about future sci-fi shows.

It won’t end in a satisfying way. They never do. Game of Thrones or The Boys or any violence-focused show. Terrible endings, all of them.

EDIT: Breaking Bad did okay by killing everyone, including an unrealistic machine gun in the trunk.

Couldn’t get past season 1 of Invincible. You won’t like what I thought about it. But I’m a Superman fan who doesn’t like excessive violence, so hopefully you can understand where I’m coming from.

Diane Keaton was once in a movie where she gets cancer. Meryl Streep is her hairstylist sister. She makes her this wig. Marvin’s Room (1996)

I laughed so fucking hard when they put on that wig and all acted like it was great.

I feel as though most war movies, especially the famous ones, the moral is always “war is horrible.” The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) is about how hard it is to come back from war and resume life.

With the exceptions of Top Gun, Act of Valor (2012), Lone Survivor (2013), etc. Sands of Iwo Jima (1949) sticks out as propaganda-ish.

The ones I would actually call “war movies” and not propaganda. Like The Longest Day (1962), Tora Tora Tora (1970) are obsessed with their historical accuracy. Hard to call those pro-war.

So tired of seeing revenge killing movies in Hollywood. As long as someone is truly evil and does something unforgivable in the 1st act, the “hero” is then justified in slaughtering like 100+ random people in a dark hallway in the 2nd act. I think it’s the only sort of violence we’re okay with anymore. Any other type of violence people might have a problem, but because it’s done in the name of revenge for a dead wife/dog/kidnapped daughter, that’s now been whitewashed as “good wholesome revenge killing.” Or something.

I would like to see a situation that cannot be solved by strength alone. It feels like lazy writing to take that strength away. Kryptonite as a plot device is kinda old. But if you use it for a few seconds here or there, like Superman (2025) that’s great. What I definitely do not want is a movie about Superman without his powers. Powerless for a situation? Yes! Powerless for 75% of the movie? No!

It’s a general complaint I have about some of the mainstream attempts at Superman. “We’ve got to make him/her weaker.” Is a common theme that has been done way too many times. Because in these people’s minds, there is nothing interesting that can happen if Superman/Supergirl actually has their powers and wins. The drama, for these non-Superman fans writing the script, is in the hero losing their powers. They don’t actually understand what’s appealing about Superman in the first place.

Except the dog was poisoned and sad. It wasn’t “awww doggie” it was “awww sad doggie.” Also Supergirl didn’t have her powers for like 3/4ths of the movie (due to her character’s own stupidity). Like they couldn’t write a decent story if she had powers.

With old Reddit gone there is no reason to ever go there again.

Overall popularity of Spider-Man (and related properties), Tom Holland, and the 3rd movie in this franchise was the highest grossing film of 2021. Good reviews generally a sign that people will show up for the sequel.

“Flawed”

It was a weird little moment with the neighbor that seemingly had nothing to do with anything.

President demands lower prices. Just demands one side make less money. That’s realistic. Why hasn’t anyone tried this before? Are they stupid?

The data above says it’s 0.55 degrees C over the last 20 years. Not that I’m trying to downplay it. A couple degrees is all it takes to cause massive disruptions.

More recently I got one and kinda wanted to go, but a week prior had to call a number. Called and they didn’t need any jurors that week at all. If I’d ignored the letter from the very beginning it would have been the exact same result. There was no record if I’d called or not. There would have been no penalty for ignoring the letter.

But there are many jurisdictions, and jury duty can be for federal, state, county, probably more. Each one with slightly different procedures.

There’s a Spider-Mobile. It was in the Spider-Verse movie in the underground garage with all the extra costumes and stuff. It’s been in the comics plenty.

Lots of comedy potential. Will definitely check it out.

North Carolina is ground 0 for laws about bathrooms.

Why isn’t Thomas Massie a 2028 presidential candidate?
