It's a meme to dunk on shitty movies that ruin the source material/fandom. Started with Morbius

Probably scrapped it and replaced it with whatever nightmare fuel that's supposed to be.

Going by recent events (and not so recent ones), when an elected leader lets a country go to shit, they fleece the country for all it's worth before fleeing it with millions.

I don't know about the little mermaid, but I think she'd be perfect casting for shark tale

Discrimination only occurred when our participants were asked to assign a monetary value to the art works

lol wut? How is it discrimination in a blind study?

Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad) made a really pertinent point in his breakdown of Prey about how the actress could play the role perfectly, but the soft, rounded features and qualities of her appearance show that she's never experienced any kind of hardship her entire life. It makes it impossible to imagine her as a pre-modern tribeswoman.

To the contrary, she actually had significant power, but they were well defined and specific. I would recommend watch this video by the LotusEaters.

Furthermore, the royals own so much land that the rent alone actually pays for all their expenses and they actually supplement OUR taxes, not the other way around. This doesn't include the benefits of tourism and how that enriches the local area around royal properties like Buckingham palace.

Looks like every single section needs an addendum that reads *Artist from CalArts

Once upon a time, trans people were the villains

They weren't. They are now, but only through significant effort on their part.

Garlic goblins sound like it would be French-specific. I'm partial to vanilla gorillas- there's a special irony that they could call us gorillas, but we wouldn't be the ones chimping out.

Paper is the stupidest; how is that even supposed to be insulting? Scraped the bottom for the barrel so hard for that one that it brought up gravel from underneath.

Probably because I'm not a yank, taking a wild guess: is BET Black Entertainment Television?

Today, top-50 movies, on average, are 8 minutes longer than they were in 1980 (110➡️118 min)

I bet a majority of that is credit rolls

To be clear, this does NOT imply that people are just less creative today. Amazing artists & ideas are out there. What it does suggest is that studio tolerance for and audience interest in standalone movies has declined.

Yes it does. If people have a preference for sequels, it's because there might be a vestige of something they liked before instead of whatever woke trash they are trying to shoehorn in.

Man, was I confused reading this. I thought Mr President was referring to Trump, so all I saw was MAGA supporters turning... MAGA? Took me way too long, but I realised that some people consider Biden a President.

True, but we're talking about the stress of normal relationships, not crisis situations. Marriage until death used to be the norm, so it's not like women can't have fidelity when reinforced by society, but recent cultural shifts have changed that.

Even without science, you can tell that someone who regularly goes into shallow, meaningless, short-term relationships isn't going to be able to develop long, meaningful ones. Any attempt to start one will end at the first hurdle because "I can just get a new one", "plenty fish in the sea", "if he can't handle me at my worst..." etc.

Might be a bit of chicken and egg situation. Does casual sex/dating lead to shallow, low-value women or are those women drawn to casual relationships/incapable of 'bonding'?
