Cargill makes a great point here. Cinemas lost a lot of Dads in the pandemic. We upgraded our home theater systems and we got comfy as FUCK; even with big “cinema experience” blockbusters, for all but the biggest event movies we’ll wait for Blu-ray. Take risks on NEW stories for new generations!

This isn't rocket science, Hollywood. When you make movies for Gen Z & Alpha, they pay to see them. FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S opened to $80M WITH a day & date streaming release on Peacock. When you make movies for their dads, those dads have a choice between the theater or their bitchin' home theater.

I'm perplexed at watching pundits in the trades struggling to explain Tron Ares' disappointing opening.

Was it covid? Do people just not like science fiction? etc. etc.

The main reason is pretty obvious: Tron isn't a popular franchise. Nobody's interested in nostalgia for a failed 1980s project.

It's incredible the extent to which Congress just utterly refuses to defend itself. You'd think for entirely self-interested reasons you would stridently oppose having the power of the purse arbitrarily ripped from you, ya know?

Why would you allow yourself to become the Roman Senate circa 27 BC.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

The only thing worse then buying a new car and never driving it is also leaving it outside to rot, like this 580-mile C4 Corvette ZR1.

I saw a unicorn Ford truck in my neighborhood yesterday that I had no idea existed. The Ford LCF was a medium-duty truck produced in Mexico, under a joint venture with Navistar International, from 2006-2009.

It is appalling how Musk administered so much government destruction, then just walked away and wiped his hands clean. Yet there are countless new Tesla buyers with short memories or a complete lack of awareness.

Reminder:

Elon Musk committed dozens of serious crimes, including the illegal dismantling of USAID, and he needs to be prosecuted.

It may take many years, but it’s going to happen.
