Nivlak LinkThe Russo bros have said these movies are the beginning of the new mcu. Here’s hoping they can get back on track. I will say the new daredevil show has been absolutely crushing it.

I’m not saying it’s perfect but they did continue the Netflix vibe and have added to it. I still believe Kevin Feige can make things work out and bring us new and interesting stories.

Not many people even knew he had substance abuse issues. I think the estate wants to keep his image as clean as possible.

Comment on Dallas Mavericks trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis in ~sports.basketball

He is a practice cone on defense but his ability to create offense is worth the trade off. I think either he did something so egregious that they were over it or the new owners do have different plans for the franchise and the window for them to win a Dallas championship is closing. I am a long time fan of the mavericks and I can say at times I was frustrated as a fan with Luka’s attitude and demeanor. He would bitch at the refs a lot and would essentially just give up on defense, it was hard to watch at times.

That’s why they cut queer scenes when they send movies to China, Middle East, etc. they also minimize the presence of black people when marketing to China and whoever else they think will not like it. They are about making money at all costs. There is no integrity with these corporations.

My life now is 1000% better than many of my ancestors lives and I just cannot throw all of their sacrifice and death away because I feel a certain type of way.

Comment on Thoughts on Donald Trump, America and what this all means in ~society
Nivlak Link ParentThis is a tale old as time. There are biblical stories of people not wanting to be ruled by a king, overthrowing him, and then assigning another person to in fact act as king.

America itself was born out of not wanting to be under monarchy rule but we just can’t help but drift back in that direction in one way or another. People need to have a “king” or something equivalent, it’s baked into the dna at this point.
Also anyone who has not read George Washington’s farewell speech should take a gander. He correctly predicted 200+ years in advance that a 2 party system would lead to an authoritarian rising up and taking power for themselves and never giving it back. We are 95% the way there.

Comment on No one’s laughing now: ‘Joker Folie à Deux’ falls down with $39m-$40m opening: How the sequel went sideways in ~movies

This...When subverting expectations goes wrong. The director himself has said he has no interest in the DC universe and only took on DC intellectual property to bring more eyeballs to his movie. This feels similar to the 4th matrix which the wachowskis implied in the film itself the studio wanted another matrix and was going to do it with or without them so they said “oh yeh here’s your movie chumps”.

I grew up in a poor Mexican family so I saw a different side of that town. I still have some family there but I have not been back in years. There are lots of run down areas in ft worth. I’m assuming the writer of this piece was only in the tourist environments which of course will always be nice.

Austin is pretty similar to Portland,OR or Seattle even. If you like eating out, concerts, live shows, etc, you will like Austin. It’s skews younger but still lots of families and family events. I have not been there for many years (also native Texan) but from what I’ve heard not much has changed except COL and the population has increased.

I enjoy Keanu as much as anyone but come on now. He was visibly slower in the last film, especially when he is next to someone like Donnie Yen. They can only amp up the action so much with a 50+ yr old man. We’ve seen them do it with Liam Neeson and it’s not great. Lots of jumpy cuts and out of focus action shots to hide how old he is.
