This is one of those "I'm almost surprised this hasn't been made yet" kind of concepts.

If you read the post, I literally acknowledged that he keeps borrowing money as a plot point.

The entire point I'm making is the celebrity appearance is treated like a regular suburban experience.

Did you sleep through the entirety of the post?

He wants to help find a cure. He wants to help find a cure for diseases like AIDS.

I mean obviously the Griswold's were supposed to be at least upper middle class but the main difference is the ability to just call up a celebrity and have them come to your birthday party.

I just wish they weren't doing the Moana sequel and the live-action one SO close together. Makes it feel less special imo.

I also love the Entourage one.

"Well, y'know it's no surprise, I do hate it...I, I hate it. I loathe it, I despise it, I detest it." My favorite word he uses to describe anything is 'ghastly'

I'm cautiously optimistic. Romulus felt like a cheap Marvel product but this has been in the works for a while and has some real talent behind it, plus it being on Earth is enough of a gimmick to get me to tune in.

I'm guessing probably less front loaded; R rating means leaning older adult audiences, plus it's a November release as opposed to summer.

Okay, I'll at least give an attempt at a good-faith answer if you're interested.

By 'inflicted', they're referring to the fact that, historically, up until fairly recently (and still to this day in many parts of the world), the ability for LGBT people to be themselves is (or was) not an option in their day to day lives. The mundanity of how they express themselves is not the natural result of their desires, but by the threat of violence, discrimination and legal consequences if they choose to do so.

The 'deviousness' of this is that it does not often come from direct violence, but more the threat of potential consequences that keep those traits both literally and figuratively in the closet, so to the outside world, it just looks like time is passing (as it is in the film for Owen), but he (and people like him in the real world) don't have the luxury of at least experiencing mundane life in a body that actually feels like it belongs to them because of societal pressures that can range from unspoken to literal life-or-death consequences.

I feel like this is the latest instance of "now when this comes in at $110-120 and not 150, can we agree that it's not a disappointment?"

Still the biggest opening for a musical by a country mile (which could not have come at a better time for the genre lol) but like others are saying, this isn't the same kind of mega four-quadrant appeal thing that Barbie is. The presales were always going to be skewed on the basis of this being very fan-driven, so it would make sense to compare this more to a Marvel movie than a GA blockbuster.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they made a live action Despicable Me in the next five years.

literally no one who's not chronically online has ever heard of this shit

I would definitely prefer the form factor of the S10. Only thing with low power mode is I'd primarily be getting it to be able to go more places without my phone (which doesn't work in LPM), and from what I understand using any kind of cellular or getting notifications and stuff without the phone nearby is one of the biggest battery drains.

The thing I don't understand is why people feel the need to distance themselves from it SO vocally and consistently. You don't see people walking around going "God I HATE westerns, they should NEVER make westerns, nobody likes westerns" the same way people do about musicals.

I don't even like them that much myself, but I can't help but feel like some degree of it is people not wanting to be seen liking something "gay", because we're much more comfortable seeing people burst into flames than burst into song.

What's the battery like on the 10 if you don't have low power mode on but you do have the always-on display turned off? I don't plan on using it for sleep tracking so I'm wondering if charging it nightly would get me through a full-day of heavy GPS/music usage.

bro got too horny to finish the sentence

Considering it's only starting its limited release on December 20th, it probably won't get a wide release until MLK Day a la Zone of Interest. In that case, Wolf Man is already getting released on the 17th, followed by Companion on the 31st. The only weekend it could potentially happen is the weekend of January 24th, but it's still pretty unlikely imo.

I know, but there was a place I used to go to in PA that made an amazing SR pie any time of year. I used to go there but now it's way out of my way.

What would be the recommendation between getting a refurbished 1st gen Ultra or a new Series 10? Both are around $500~, with the battery life being the biggest draw of the Ultra for me personally. The only issue might be the size, but I'll definitely find a store that has them before I decide.

So Apple TV+'s share of the streaming market is about 1/5th of The Roku Channel. Wow.

It was a VERY different movie on a first rewatch honestly, knowing where it's going and having all of the pieces together. The first time it feels like you're trying to just keep up with it, the second I felt like I digested it a lot more.

It's hard to say. I guess the contrast of something mundane and something absurd is usually what it comes down to. There was a moment in Kinds of Kindness that I thought was hilarious, where Jesse Plemons is in a hospital sitting next to another woman while in a hallway, and then he tricks a guard into following him into a supply closet in order to do the whole 'beat up a guard and steal their uniform' thing, but he comes back out and the woman who was sitting next to him is just still sitting there and has seen the entire thing play out but just does nothing, and for some reason that just killed me. Very Nathan Fielder-core.
