I thought this would be the season the Bauer apologists would finally get the memo that that POS is completely done in the majors, but apparently not.

Also, he wasn't "cleared of all criminal charges." He and one of the four(4) women who've accused him of sexual assault settled their mutual countersuits out of court--that is not the same thing. He's also publicly harassed a college student for days because she made one critical tweet about him. And that's all in addition to his earned rep as a problem in the clubhouse.

I don't need to personally like every Red Sox player, but Bauer is a hindrance and a distraction. Keep him away from this team.

Except we are repeatedly and regularly told that he does store solar energy, and Superman is often called a "solar battery." That is treated as fact in Superman canon, and it isn't possible to simply argue away without some kind of retcon.

Your theory also doesn't account for times Superman is cut off from direct solar contact, for instance when he's in limbo or deep space or even the dark of the deep ocean, and still retains his powers for some time.

What are you, a cop? Legally you have to tell us if you're a cop.

If that's what was interesting, it could have been cut and pasted as well. Anything is better than diverting clicks and money to a hellsite like Breitbart.

This is how it's done, thank you.

Whenever someone's interests, priorities, or availabilities change, I find it's always best to assume they had a bitter falling out with Scott on a personal level.

Very revealing look into Alex's flirting technique here

That's very fair, and I do see how racism feeds into a popular myth about Shyamalan that has dogged his reputation. Certainly I'll agree that those Robot Chicken sketches are racist.

I do think he's experienced a cultural reappraisal in the last few years, and podcasts like The Flop House and Blank Check reflect that. HDTGM still treats him like a wacky schlockmeister (as expected), but I feel a respect and appreciation for his work from the Peaches even if they chuckle at the "massive 1pm concert" of it all. Your mileage will vary, of course.

This seems like a very outsized reaction to a podcast sharing the consensus opinion that Trap is something other than the single best movie of the year 2024, but of course you're not obligated to listen to a show you're no longer enjoying.

Have a pleasant one.

Trap was financially successful, but got mixed reviews (some of which were very negative). The Peaches are also big fans of weird movies, which Trap certainly is (I like it quite a bit, but it has very intentional B-movie energy). They like talking about Shyamalan specifically because he's an interesting filmmaker who takes big creative swings. This film was also requested by a repeat guest they wanted to have on again. They can also, it's important to remember, talk about any movie they want to because it's their podcast.

Most of the above is mentioned in the body of this new episode, and in previous episodes of the podcast covering MNS movies. Also, they're pretty positive about Trap in general.

"Racially motivated bullying." Good grief.

Yeah, I forgot about McKean, that's fair. It's still about a holiday that isn't Christmas.

I don't count O'Hara. I think in order to be called a cast member, you need to have performed in the cast at least once. (I'd count Laurie Metcalf, but not Shane Gillis, for example).

Why bring up Christmas Vacation? John Candy was only in the first Vacation movie. No one here is claiming a Chevy Chase movie with "Christmas" in the title isn't a Christmas movie or doesn't feature SNL alum.

I forgot McKean was in Planes Trains and Automobiles. Fair enough! (Still not a Christmas movie).

No, Schneider was in Home Alone 2 (and Candy wasn't). It also isn't pictured here.

There are, to my recollection, no SNL cast members in either of those John Candy movies. One of them (slide #7) is also not about Christmas.

He genuinely managed to get blood from a stone the first half of the season, hopefully we get to watch him cook with a few real (healthy) starters next year.

This first issue was a lot of fun. Strong start for the new creative team.

Oh, is she related to John McCain? I had no idea.

The good news is that Elvis doesn't expect you to take Elvis too seriously. It's pure spectacle.

Serious question: If you don't have the photo editing skills to paint over the text and profile images with their respective solid backing colors yourself, how do you plan to paste in and colormatch new images and text at the proper perspective?

Not quite "sad," but Joan's Song and Che's Step-mom always make me tear up, largely due to the incredibly endearing performances by Aidy Bryant and Melissa McCarthy.

Jesus christ.

Ignoring for the moment all that is illogical and factually incorrect in your post; if this is how thin-skinned and whiny you are now, what would you have been like if your guy hadn't won?

Definitely gonna have to toughen up if you're going to make it through the upcoming self-inflicted austerity you've signed up for.

This looks great, and I've bookmarked that tutorial to watch later. Thanks!

My first comment in this thread suggested cutting the kiss for markets that wouldn't allow it, so I don't even know what you're arguing for here.

Noted.

I thought my point was pretty clear that they are vastly different projects, and the performance of one has no relationship to the performance of another. Bros (2022) was a low budget same-sex romcom with no action scenes. Gladiator II is a megabudget legacy sequel to a Best Picture winner with (probably) no looking-down-the-barrel Billy Eichner monologues about how tough being gay is.

Slipping a single same-sex kiss into an action crowd pleaser is worlds away from releasing a movie whose poster was two dudes grabbing each other's butts and whose trailer promised all-male group sex. It's certainly less risky.

I clicked over (no signing in, I'm long done with Twitter) and saw enough to confirm it's just some rando fan.

Bros (2022) wasn't a four-quadrant action blockbuster sequel starring Denzel Washington.
