The overarching issues that we — as a board, as a culture, as an existential crisis — have fractioned our society further back into tribalism. Or “Teams”. Everything is my team is right, your team is wrong, when the truth is very, very much living in between.
Until we recognize that, we’re just going to go round and round going no where. And this discussion is going to be exhausting.

Books adaptations being all the rage leads to comic book adaptation being all the rage leads to video game adaptations being all the rage.
I think the pattern is less reading
And before books it was plays being all the rage. I think it’s less reading (also find it insulting that comics is “less reading”) and more what’s popular at the time.-

Same, girl.
I hate Bob so much for denying this girl a full press tour. She is just everything. So good at hype. So good at spin.

As have a lot of people! Just not enough to cause the platform to implode... yet.
The other problem is that you can’t read the website anymore without being logged in. There are no more visible comments. So, even though I don’t use the website anymore, I still have the app on my phone so that if someone sends me something I can access it.23 minutes ago, dudalb said:And i suspect a few people are still buying into the whole 'Musk is the real life Tony Stark" BS.
Well, as someone who always thought, Tony Stark was a giant asshole, and the villain of the story, I still Elon and Tony would be besties.-

Pedro is an excellent choice, since his big thing seems to be “playing a character protecting a child.” And therefore, we must be getting Franklin and Val. 🥺

Maybe the recent sight of Tim Scott (RIP his campaign) and girlfriend offered us all some perspective on a public person trying to get positive PR from a romantic pairing, lol.
There will always be the cynics crying, "Fake! I read Deuxmoi and know all about CoNtracT rElaltiOnships!" but eh, nothing gets 100 percent approval ratings on the internet. Or maybe Taylor's smackdown about being shipped with female friends sent her worst, most parasocial "fans" retreating to their own private communities of Gaylordom. Anyway...
This weekend in Taylor/Travis was straight out of every cheesy romantic comedy from the nineties/aughts and I lapped up every minute. If they're done by the Super Bowl, so what? It's fun to watch in the meantime.
y’all missed the best one:

One thing that @Cap has mentioned (and I feel safe in tagging her since she's hanging around in this thread for some ungodly reason)
Because I got conned into being Admin, and now I am stuck in Hotel California. Which normally is fine, and fun. But this is the first weekend in six years I have genuinely felt unwelcomed.
53 minutes ago, Porthos said:That Hype Machine was never engaged with the fanbase for months.
We should also comment that for some fans the press tour IS the event. It’s just fodder for more celebrity gossip. They don’t really care about content, but they want to see their favorite actors being cute. So a HUGE part of fandom engagement never happened. No Iman, Brie, and Tenayoh doing puppy (or kitten) videos. No Hot Wings. No Lie Detector Test. No TikTok Challenge. No Instagram Cosplay Contests. That stuff might sound stupid here, but it plays big in girl fandom spaces.
I will never understand why they didn’t push this to May 4, 2024.

Surprised he didn't defend the Flash like this after he praised it as hard as he did.
It’s almost like your missing the subtext of what he’s really saying.

As more and more films flop/bomb, I think it lends more credence to the argument that people just aren't showing up to theaters in masses anymore, unless the movie feels like an event.
I got a dog now, and my grandmother is sick. Days of weekly trips to the movies are over for the time being. We’ll probably do the Waitress proshot and the Color Purple for the rest of the year. Looking at 2024 only Furiosa and Lady Gaga Harley seem like Appointment Viewing.-

I think if the mods banned hyperbole, we'd probably either have a really quiet thread or lots of banned members.
The way I see it is: this is an excellent exercise in everyone showing their true colors.

Not sure what the rules are anymore
They are basically the same as before with some clarifications. I wrote all of them up last night, but the post didn’t save. I lost an hour of work. so I went to bed sad. I haven’t had time to rewrite them yet due to my work. So just assume the old rules apply

Genuinely didn't realise it till the guy pointed it out but Phases 4 and 5 have actually been about replacing the older heroes with younger female teen friendly alternatives
Doctor Strange 2 - America Chavez
Ant Man - Cassie
Black Panther - Shuri
Hawkeye - Hailee Steinfeld
Black Widow - Florence Pugh
Captain Marvel - Ms. Marvel
Hulk - She Hulk
I really hope they make a team up movie of just those characters, might end up challenging The Marvels at the box office.
It's almost like they were casting folks who could play the characters for a decade, and preparing longterm for Phase 5 and 6!!!
Also the team is literally called The Young Avengers.

The Marvel/MCU thread is a taster of what's to come when the weekend thread is opened. I pray for @Eric Danvers @Cap @ZeeSoh
Girl, I'm so deep in my Avengers Gilded Age AU that nothing can bother me. Why do I care about what boys think, when I'm dealing with the absolute scandal of Mrs. Howard Stark trying to introduce the young Mr. Rogers into Polite Society.

20 minutes ago, The GOAT said:There’s no handsome male counterpart and the girls aren’t girly/pretty enough.
See this right here.
This is what we are not doing this weekend.
If you post something like this ONCE, you will receive 2 warning points.
If you post something like this TWICE, you will be thread banned for the ENTIRE weekend.

When they revealed Yggdrasil, and that Loki’s burden and punished was to be entangled in it, and hold it together, I fucking lost it. Brilliant. Someone get Sigyn in there stat

I will go to my grave with the belief that Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the most overrated Marvel Studios film of all time.
Anyway, looks like you got two hours for the mice to play, since @XXR's Eras Tour, I am also about to go into the flick.

Classic Conversation Thread
in Box Office Discussion
Posted
I am not going to be around for a bit.
We are on the last days with my grandmother. She is home with us, but she has stopped eating solid food, is having a hard time swallowing, and breathing heavy. Could be tomorrow, could be next week. She is 94 (almost 95!), so this has been a long time coming. It’s still hard. Especially on my Aunts and Mom. They asked if I was okay, only to say I am about to mimic Roman Roy’s “I am fine, I pre-grieved” to “massive breakdown” to a tee.
That said, I am not peacing out completely. I check the reports daily, and my Inbox and Telegram are open. I DO want to finish/post the 1993 before the end of the year. And that will be a welcomed distraction. So look for that by year’s end.
