Lol, the passive aggressiveness of moving posts from other threads to this thread never fails to tickle me. Viced was a fan of the movie. I don't especially mind - I wasn't talking directly about the film, just talking shit on Rian Johnson - but it was funny to see it suddenly missing.

Okay, so what if the MCU made a Mystique movie but it's lowkey ripping off Reservoir Dogs? You get like, eight character actors to play assassins who are all after Mystique, and then they are getting killed one by one until they realize that one of them is Mystique and everybody gets more anxious and paranoid and waving guns about and Jennifer Lawrence can appear for two minutes at the beginning and end? Just a little self-contained X-Men story that is based in character interaction and tension!
Yeah, like that will ever happen...

That too - in fact, that was my first thought when brainstorming. I mentioned RD as I was thinking that this would be a banter led movie, with the criminals' yapping making the story less of a horror/suspense film.

It’s getting a second season Yeah, but it's Marvel - because of the massive audience built-in from the IP, a large enough number of people will watch it. I have not heard one person actually express any interest in it at all, though. Obviously, this is just anecdotal, but even fucking She-Hulk got people to hate-watch it.

Sometimes I enjoy watching the end credits of movies just to listen to the music and stuff like that, and the names you come across some pretty funny names. Like, I was watching the credits of The Adventures of Tintin and saw: "Additional editing: Jabez Olssen, Christopher Plummer". Just cracked me up imagining that Plummer had to hustle as an additional editor of Tintin in-between acting projects Or the Saving Private Ryan credits - apparently one of the electricians was Peter O'Toole. Poor old Lawrence stumbling around with cables on the set

My new avatar is a work of art that I made myself. Was visiting a museum in Madrid the other day and saw this painting of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, better known as the Crimson Chin. It’s very low effort, I know, I made it in Snapchat in like 5mins and the overwhelming majority of that time was spent picking out the right font for the “C” And yes, it is art. There’s whole art movements dedicated to taking an already existing work and “desecrating” it as I have done here. Ya boi is a legitimate artist now

No idea why they didn't translate Crimson...

Why do I have the absolute best hair days on a random Tuesday night when I’m not going to leave the house or see anybody?

And then the bad hair days happen when you need to absolutely not have one Shave your head and solve the problem. I haven't been at the hairdresser's since March 2010. I just cut random edges by myself sometimes. I don't like people touching my hair. having curly hair helps, I know...

In Final Fantasy IX, there's a scene early on involving Zidane (a horndog rogue), Princess Garnet (a sheltered princess), Vivi (a young child) and Steiner (a clueless knight protecting Garnet from ruffians like the guy she's traveling with). Garnet gets the idea that she needs an alias to travel unmolested through hostile territory and asks Zidane what this thing she's holding in her hand is called.
He says it's a dagger.
At this point the player gets a chance to name her, and "Dagger" is the default option. As you go through the game, people tend to look at her funny when she introduces herself as Dagger and sometimes comment to themselves that it is a strange name, but it gets the job done.
For years, I have input a different name that I feel is fitting with Zidane's sense of humor and the utter cluelessness of his three companions.
I name her Dildo.
If you go back through that scene and replace the word "dagger" with "dildo," nothing about it would change because Steiner and Vivi would have no clue what that is and would, at worst, make a comment that it must be a foreign word or something. Seeing as how Garnet is so sheltered that she doesn't know what a dagger is, I don't see any stretch there. And Zidane is a sex-crazed lunatic who would call that thing a dildo just so he could chuckle to himself later should she ask for a dildo, not thinking that she would name herself after it.
I am so proud of this that I am sharing this here because my life is sad and lonely.

Hmmmmm........Ask Judi Dench or Cate Blanchett how "easy" it is to win an Emmy (or any award for that matter - Tony, BAFTA, whatever) and whether you can win it or not " by choice"......you never know who you will be up against or how a project will end up..... No......just ......no.......

As you know by now, I do not care about many of you - your taste in movies is flat out revolting to me, your taste in music is somehow, impossibly, far worse than that............ your attempts at humor are grating and obvious ....... your politics are quite often submental ............and every single one of your Celebrity Crushes is far uglier than mine For what you put me through, daily - in the words of Slayer ......Hell Awaits...... But Martin Stett hasn't been heard from in a while......and I love that dude (no homo).....his music and movie taste is irrelevant because he absolutely hates everything .....he's slyly funny.......his user name is from The Conversation get it? ........and even better than that he thinks I'm funny .....maybe...... I mean who can even tell with him yanno?

I wish I could watch more movies by myself in the theater. I’ve only had it happen twice. Once during Promising Young Woman, and just the other day with Living. But yeah. The downside is the $20 dollar rental.

There is absolutely no downside to paying $10-20 to “rent” a movie to watch in an empty theater. You are paying for the luxury of having the theater to yourself. I have never been so fortunate, closest was when I went to go see Banshees of Inisherin and the only other people in the theater were an older couple, and I was fucking pissed off too. Of all the seats in the theater, they choose the ones directly in front of me
