I’m doing a chronological rewatch of the whole franchise and am at the episodes where DS9 and Voyager overlap. It is mind boggling how much better DS9 is. I find myself wanting to skip almost every Voyager episode so I can just get to the DS9 ones.

The overall health of a workforce affects health insurance rates and every employee. The more unhealthy a workforce is, the more money comes out of your check for insurance. This is why wellness programs exist at companies.

Wow I love Flanagan but for some reason thought this show was a documentary about how crappy the hip hop artist, Usher, was. Thanks for this post lol. I now have a show to look forward to.

This made me laugh. It’s been like 30 years since Dragon Ball was like that.

Get your ads outta here.

I keep seeing this fish everywhere, would any English speakers be willing to explain?

I’d suggest taking your own advice, buddy.

I’ve given you as much of a response as your comment was worth. Have a good day.

Hamas is evil, they’re a literal terrorist organization that uses fear and violence as their primary tools and methods. The situation Hamas operates in is absolutely nuanced but saying a terrorist organization is evil and supporting a terrorist organization makes you complicit in supporting evil is not an indicator of a simplistic world view, it’s stating an objective fact. If anything you’re the one expressing a simplistic worldview by ignoring the obvious truths of the situation and its various pieces in favor of obfuscating the parts of the situation that are self evident and clear.

Hamas is evil and anyone on here supporting them are complicit in supporting evil.

Man, you’re an asshole, a bigot and a dumbass. How’s that for weak? Congrats on being the evil in the world.

What? Taoism has millions of practitioners and since it’s not an organized religion there’s probably millions more that are uncounted, myself included. Also a major part of the belief system is karma so we absolutely believe in standing up to evil in all of its forms because that’s how you reduce suffering and create more good into the world.

All religions are not shit. All organized religion is. You don’t ever hear of a Taoist committing these kind of acts.

Here’s the infamous quote,

In a clip from a special edition release of his 2006 film, Inland Empire, the director gets very heated up about people watching films on their iPhones. “If you’re playing the movie on a telephone, you will never in a trillion years experience the film,” he says.

“You’ll think you have experienced it, but you’ll be cheated. It’s such a sadness, that you think you’ve seen a film, on your f**king telephone,” he says, barely restraining his rage.

Somewhere David Lynch is in great pain over this being put out into the universe.

Slightly less stupid but still watchable does not make me wanna watch this lol

People absolutely care about DC in general. Batman is still the literal worlds most popular superhero. Superman as a property is more iconic than anyone in the MCU across the entire world. People absolutely have an appetite for DC movies, WB just hasn’t put out the right content as far as a cinematic universe goes. The Batman was also a huge hit and that was very recent.

I assume you’re talking about malignant which didn’t perform well but has already become a cult classic… many notable horror enthusiasts cited that as their favorite movie of the year when it was released and it’s had an amazing streaming and rental run.

I watched both of those movies and can attest Blue Beetle was not good by movie standards. It was a fun superhero movie but lacked any real depth and largely did not capitalize on blue beetles powers. That’s lazy filmmaking to me and it didn’t really deserve to succeed.

I’m one of the few people who liked the flash movie but totally cede that it isn’t a traditionally good movie either. Especially if you can’t get past undercooked CGI or don’t have nostalgia for the character’s it uses.

In both of these cases, I don’t think the majority of people out there were recommending these in mass. I remember when the first Aquaman came out I had my 40-50 year old coworkers and even older family members bringing it up. I think if you can get that demographic interested you’re more likely to succeed. I could see Aquaman 2 driving similar hype with that crowd. Plus, it’s coming out in December which is usually a good time for these type of movies. I’ll eat crow if I this doesn’t happen but I think this one has more potential than any superhero movie released the past couple years.

IMO, the difference here is that this isn’t reliant on just the superhero crowd. People who loved James Wan and fast and furious movies showed up for Aquaman and I feel like they will again. The flash and blue beetle had way more of an uphill to climb being basically unknown outside of a cw show and the Snyder movies and there’s a big difference between what Ezra and Amber did. One went on a hugely publicized crime spree essentially and one got into a domestic incident that most people didn’t really care that much about outside of entertainment news spheres.

James Wan also has a lot more clout to throw around than Patty Jenkins. He also has a much better and proven track record.

I think this notion that people are checked out on DC or Marvel or superhero movies in general is very exaggerated. People will go to movies if they’re good and hear from their friends said movie was good. As long as the movie matches James Wan’s typical quality level I think this will not be a flop.

Why are you assuming this is a flop? The first one is one of the highest grossing movies ever.
