  1. Captain Marvel 2 is coming out in November. I guess I'm wondering if she'll be in Secret Invasion and then assuming Secret Invasion maybe comes out earlier in the year. How about a Vision series? They can call it Visionvision and half the episode count is spent with a mostly emotionless White Vision creating his Vision family and trying to be more human again. It's the only way this ever gets put on film or TV unless they decide to kill off Wanda.
  2. I've seen more of those than I would have actually thought. I also owned a few of those on DVD and Blu-ray before I just laughed my collection. I owned 5, 21, 27, 42. Other than Ichi the Killer, I wouldn't have labeled any of those really disturbing. Eh...maybe Audition gets a nod for being painful to watch at times. Takashi Miike has a certain disturbing style I guess. I've seen, 5, 9, 13, 16, 19, 21, 27, 34, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 49, 50, 55, and 56. No real rhyme or reason here. My parents were big bootie fans when I was growing up, so I guess that covers all the 70s stuff. My wife is a big fan of good gore porn, but we haven't watched much in recent years. I guess kids kind of cracks down on your free time to watch some of this stuff. I also really like Takashi Miike and he has a whole three movies on this list all to himself. Other than Audition, his stuff is like live a action Adult Swim cartoon full of gore.
  3. I am so scared of Falcon and Winter Soldier being boringly mundane following Wandavision. I hope they can give us a good story.
  4. I wonder when's the next time we'll see Monica and further explore her new powers. I'm guessing either the Secret Invasion series or Captain Marvel 2. Both are slated for release next year. I'm assuming Secret Invasion since she was literally invited to go up in space by a Skrill and the last time we saw the Skrulls they were chilling with Nick Fury on some space station.
  5. Is White Vision really Vision or just a new Vision with the old Vision's memories? I feel like that's a question White Vision left to try to solve. Also, I'm sure nothing bad will come off Wanda trying to resurrect her children with chaos magic from the Darkhold. The Darkhold left behind a ton of bodies in Agents of SHIELD. I wonder if it'll corrupt Wanda's mind the way it corrupted everyone else's or if she's immune to those side affects thanks to being the nexus.
  6. This night about break, so yes, tax forgiveness is the better route. Folks can opt to not get taxed on their current UI benefits knowing they won't be penalized next year.
  7. Rich folks, politicians, and their families have all received the vaccine. I'm not sure what risk there is to open everything up now.
  8. And he would have gotten away with it in the early months of COVID. Again, Trump was just too stupid.
  9. This is really all it came down to. Had this happened under Bush or, potentially, McCain or Romney, masks could have easily been pushed as a patriotic duty. Nobody can convince me otherwise. Trump was too stupid to realize that leading here would have given him a landslide victory in 2020.
  10. Just got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. That was fun. Got it along with my "got vaccinated" card that the nurse swears is super important.
  11. Going F2P will likely help bring the player base back up a bit. Now is likely the best time to buy the devs. Early enough that everyone still knows them, but late enough that the initial rush has died down and they aren't as pricy. It's not like Rocket League was really blowing things up when they were bought. They topped out at just over 119k concurrent players. Going F2P for them bumped that up to over 1m. Rocket League passes 1m concurrent players WWW.GAMESINDUSTRY.BIZ Psyonix reaches a new milestone as its competitive driving/football hybrid goes free-to-play I can easily see the same thing happen for Fall Guys. I never bothered because the game send silly and too random for $20. Free, though? Yeah, I'll try that out on my Switch to give my kids s good laugh.
  12. I'm comparing the money made on their current movies to the money made on their previous films. Nolan's movie broke $1b back when Marvel was bringing in half of that. I'm always happy making enough money to be able to save some of it, but I' m not going to be happy of I'm making less money today than I was ten years ago. Are you arguing that WB should be happy making less money than they were ten years ago? If the movies were still great, I could see that, but they also aren't pumping out anything of real quality either. If I'm a Warmer Bros exec, looking at our current portfolio, I don't see how it's anything to be happy about. I mean, Aquaman and Joker were international successes. Yay, but neither is going to keep them afloat for the next decade. There's a reason they're eager to reboot Superman while also throwing $70m at Snyder try to fix the Superman movie that came out just a few years ago. I'm sure the people at WB are very nice people and I'm sure all the restructuring and such hasn't been fun, but like at some point we have to acknowledge that their mismanaging their most prestigious properties.
  13. The studio of Harry Potter, The Dark Knight, and Lord of the Rings should be perfectly capable of making a ton of money on the most popular comicbook franchises on Earth. If they aren't making gobs of money, they should at least be able to make good movies. They can't do either with any regularity. We've got, what? Wonder Woman and Shazam on quality and Aquaman on money? Everything else is either horrifically OK or straight bad. All the while, they've managed, in under a decade, to build up a terribly toxic fanbase like the one Lucas took an entire four decades to build up.
  14. You're also using the only DC movie to break the $1b barrier. I'm 2018/19, Disney had Black Panther, Incredibles 2, Captain Marvel, and Spider-Man do the same thing. That's ignoring that both Avengers movies also broke $2b each. If nobody at WB is trying to figure out why their more valuable franchises aren't doing the same then somebody/many somebodies needs to be fired. Save for a couple of shining moments, they've been pushing out movies that review badly and underperform compared to their direct competition. Unless DC is planning to go full art house, Joker-style, I can't see how they'd be happy with any of that, even if they are making money.
  15. I don't think anyone here is judging the film on its box office draw. That said, someone at WB is certainly comparing this film to Marvel's offering and trying to figure out why Batman vs Superman is only pulling in $870m when fucking Ant-Man and the Wasp is doing $622m. Yeah, that's more, but are the two biggest superheros on Earth really only worth 30% more than a hero that's never even managed to carry a Saturday morning cartoon? I mean, we really should take into account that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Spider-Man are the most well known superheros ever put on paper. DC holds three of those and Marvel doesn't even own the film rights to the one they do. That's the issue here. It's the golden age of comicbook movies and DC/WB just have no idea what to do with the most valuable franchises the medium has to offer. They're making money on name recognition, alone, when they should be doing much more than that. I've said it before, but literally just making Disney-style shot for shot live action versions of their animated movies would be such a step up, quality-wise, that is unthinkable they haven't even tried. But, nah, let's just give Snyder another $70m to spend on a vanity project that's going straight to streaming.
  16. For me it was the speed at which things went. Prior to shit hitting the fan, I was worrying about things so I pulled senior management aside and told them that I was about to spend a lot of money to prep folks for the possibility of everyone working from home for the summer. I put in an order and before anything was even delivered we had visitor who had tested positive and that sent us all home real quick. That was last spring. I think I've been in the office maybe four times since then.
  17. Stealing dogs is totally a thing since they can catch pretty good cash prices on Facebook and Craigslist. Facebook, particularly, has a pretty bad wrap when it comes to showing the sake of stolen or otherwise illegal animals. Facebook sucks. Big shocker. Either way, this ask randomly reminds me of It's Bruno and it's criminal that series doesn't get more attention.
  18. Eh, is not very often that a dog napping where someone gets shot gets caught complete on tape. This may have gone viral even without the wild fact that a celebrity was involved.
  19. And we missed out on Common as John Stewart. DC, you cowards, he's only a few years older than Ryan Reynolds. It can still happen. A man can dream.
  20. Ok, looked it up. White Vision merged with other dimension Vision to regain his personality, but not his memories. They could totally do that here, but I still can't see how they bring Vision back like "Oh well, guess Wanda doesn't really have to deal with her trauma after all." I guess they could do the same with her kids, maybe? Comic precedent. They were going to die anyway. Speaking of, I had always assumed that the series would reset back to the status quo for the sake of movie viewers who aren't keeping up with the series. That would mean they can't bring back Vision. However, I'd also be cool with Disney changing major events in TV that's reflected in the movies.
  21. I'm digging really easy back when, but I swear the story was that white Vision merged with an alternate dimension Vision to regain a story of consciousness with emotions. If we're going off some comic history, maybe the same happens here with fake Vision gaining a body with white Vision. What is really like to see if Agatha help pull off the merger. I don't want to see her disappear after this series and helping to save Vision would really put her in Wanda's good graces.
  22. All DeJoy. He's complaining that going all electric would cost an addition $3-4b and USPS won't have the money for it.
