Since Twitter is a pile of shit let me link a photo of this tweet today.

Ah. It was a year and a half ago. And you'll notice the account is no longer verified.

That being said fuck Twitter. Not just since Muskrat took over, fuck it for as long as it has existed and been a blight on society.

Turning to dust when you die is a common trope, https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoBodyLeftBehind

Sutekh destroying the whole universe puts the scale similar to the MCU, but I'm not sure its an homage/reference.

We know Trump is a liar.

Biden had to prove he wasn't feeble... and he failed at that.

Voting for Biden and his administration is still 100% the correct decision, but that debate isn't going to convince any swing voters. If you want to use the incumbency advantage you need to convince folks you can stay the course for the next 4 years.

You know who just had the opportunity to focus on what Trump did (and is doing) wrong and flubbed it? Biden.

A vote for Biden is the easiest decision I'll make this year. Biden and his administration are doing solid work and I want to see more of it. Trump ensures genocide in Gaza. Trump ensures even more horrible acts in Ukraine by Russia. Trump ensures an even further conservative Supreme Court, further destroying and reversing settled law. Another 4 years of Trump will be a disaster.

But I know this already.

Any other generic Democrat would have kicked Trump's ass last night. Trump tells a lie, they correct it. Biden got a few blows in but he flubbed so many more.

Look at abortion, a layup for Democrats. America as a whole agrees with Democrats on the issue. What did Biden do? Fumbled and wandered into something about immigration.

The focus on Biden because we want better. Biden is better. Prove it.

Lol, I didn't watch the video but it's from a clickbait/spam channel.

I do wonder if any characters from Deadpool (apart from Deadpool) will migrate over to the MCU. Will Collosuss get a full reset? I assume yes.

It's true. I posted episode discussion threads at one point but they got little response. :(

acting as a strong comeback for Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.

No thank you.

I've heard great things about this story, but I'm not watching something run by these loons.

If it's a one and done season, I'll watch it once it's done. If it's going to take multiple seasons, I'll watch it when it's done. It's Netflix, so they won't finish it.

AMC Theaters suck (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 months ago by MimicJar@lemmy.world to c/movies@lemmy.world

20 minutes of trailers and 10 minutes of AMC puff pieces including the Nicole Kidman OMG Cinema commercials.

Earlier today I went to an AMC IMAX theater to watch Dune Part 2 (spoiler free review, a great film), and instead of the film starting at the scheduled time we have to duck around for 30 min before the film starts (which even then isn't true since we get two 30 second studio logos).

I'm so happy that most theaters I go to are smaller with usually only a preview or two.

But for AMC, fuck you.

They're the same people. If someone is on a power trip, it suck regardless.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/g0f1o-KGWPM

Premiere: Tuesday, Jan. 9 at 9pm Eastern, simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu.

The latest trailer shows scenes from Daredevil (the Netflix series), and Hawkeye (with some implied spoilers).

The series is rated TV-MA, which is the most "adult" rating of a Marvel series to date, but matches the Netflix Daredevil rating.

This is also the first series to premiere under the "Spotlight" brand.

Echo will be the first series under the Marvel Spotlight banner... Just like comics fans didn’t need to read Avengers or Fantastic Four to enjoy a Ghost Rider Spotlight comic, our audience doesn’t need to have seen other Marvel series to understand what’s happening in Maya’s story.

This reminds me of a similar joke from AIM days.

You could tell your friends that you were going to "hack" their computer.

They would of course not believe you.

You would then send them a few images that looked hackery and a few that were broken.

The broken images were actually a link to "A:/fakeimage.jpg" and "D:/fakeimage.jpg".

This would cause A drive, the common "floppy" drive, to turn on and look for a fake image for a few seconds. As I recall this worked even with no disk inserted and made a bunch of noise.

Similarly the D drive, the common CD drive, would spin up, also making noise. I believe this did require a disk in the drive, but at the time everyone always had some form of disk in the drive.

What you had really done was nothing, but making your friends computer make noise unexpectedly was still funny.

Technically we're not get ANY MCU films in 2024. With all the talk of "superhero fatigue" I'm curious how this will play out.

Currently Deadpool 3 is the only MCU film scheduled for 2024. Deadpool 1 & 2 are not set in the MCU, we can assume Deadpool 3 will bring Deadpool into the MCU.

Outside of the MCU, Sony will bring us Madam Web, Kraven the Hunter & Venom 3.

Also, Sony will bring us the 3rd installment of the animated Spider-Man Spiderverse films.

For completeness sake, DC only has a Joker sequel scheduled.


I fully expect Deadpool 3 to be delayed (to late 2024).

I think no one will talk about Madam Web.

I think no one will talk about Kraven.

I fully expect Venom 3 to be delayed (to 2025).

I hope Spiderverse isn't delayed any further, but I suspect it will be.

Which is to say, we're getting a year off, how do folks think this will affect "superhero fatigue", or perhaps more importantly do you think it will give films time to actually be good films?

I always assume people doing this are unhinged/crazy and I definitely don't want to deal with that.

Sometimes they look nice enough.

Usually what happens is myself and everyone else on the train look at each other, have a shared look of "Morons? Am I right?" and then when that person leaves, we all share a group laugh.

So I guess what I'd say is, if you do this, know that everyone is laughing at you. If you say you don't care, that's a lie, you do care, that's why you're doing what you're doing. This is not positive attention, this is negative attention. Please take a moment and reflect to be a force for positivity and not negativity.

"...like forcing users to upload copies of their government IDs to access an online service."

"Some states, like Louisiana, have tailored their bills to ban kids from seeing online porn by forcing everyone, including adults, to verify their age before using the site. Google’s proposal does not oppose age verification on porn and gambling sites."

That's terrifying. Signing up for Lemmy would require uploading a government ID. I don't know the solution to this problem, but I'm not confident this proposal is the right one.
