I know one of Chapek's goals with Disney + was to change the image of it being a service for only kids. That's why you have shit like the Deadpool now. It seems like this image-rebrand is continuing under Iger.

It's amazing how little lessons we learned from the first time around. I have leftist friends who are already starting to treat Trump like an entertaining joke again. People are getting really complacent and not treating him like the viable threat that he is.

I kept my apple watch on during sex once and put it into exercise mode before the sexy times began. It was fun seeing where my heart rate raised and lowered. You can even see it dip at the point where we had to switch positions.

I've made this joke before but goddamnit I'll make it again. More like Fineland, amirite?

No, there should not be a Florida mega thread. Mega threads are best for collecting smaller stories that do not constitute their own threads - Florida man stories are a good example of this. I'm fine with keeping all of the DeSantis vs Disney news in its own contained thread. There are just so many noteworthy stories coming from Florida and a megathread would minimize the importance of the individual stories themselves. Also a Florida megathread would quickly devolve into everyone ganging up and feeling superior over Florida which is really not helpful right now for any one who still has to live here.

The first movie absolutely needed to be rated R to fully pull off that thrashy b-movie vibe it was going for. This one looks even more ridiculous than the first but it would be a bummer if they went PG-13 again.

Don't keep up with tabloid news - had no idea this was a thing. Doesn't seem like the nicest guy but he's undeniably a talented actor with movie star presence.

Just give all the bots a copy of Save the Cat. Not much will fundamentally change.

Recently read that in Florida you can be removed from a capital punishment jury if you oppose capital punishments, so because of this black and brown people are less likely to be jurors in a capital punishment because they are more likely to oppose it.

This is a perfect fascist bill. The headline it generates is shocking as intended, but the details of the bill itself are worded in a way that gets moderates to argue about the value it does accomplish. So as this gets debated it becomes the new normal setting the stage for a more extreme bill in the near future. Just look at how Don't Say Gay created a huge outcry by banning LGBT lessons up till 3rd grade and then a year later is expanded to include all grades and barely makes ripple.

You weren't being flippant in this thread. And I do agree there is a difference, as a comedian myself I constantly use humor as a way to cope. But you can tell a difference in who is being flippant to cope and who is being flippant because they don't give a shit about trans people having their rights taken away.

I'm expected to die for my kids yet in Florida I'm treated as a groomer attempting to indoctrinate this children. This is teacher appreciation week yet I couldn't feel less wanted for what I do.

As a middle school teacher I have received tourniquet training already but due to our state's new "Parental Rights" law I'm unable to give students even a simple Band-Aid unless their parents have been notified ahead of time. Go figure.

Oppenheimer is for the dads. Barbie is for the hot people. Choose accordingly.

I enjoyed this one well enough. As far as trilogy cappers go this one is more in the vein of Return of the Jedi. It does make some weird choices in the middle that I appreciate but overall the conclusion felt intentionally safe.

As far as post-Toy Story 4 Pixar goes Lightyear was easily the worse of that bunch. Luca and Onward were pretty decent and had their moments, but of those two I think I prefer Luca for it's visuals and Miyazaki influence. Both are enjoyable enough that I wouldn't write them off if you're a Pixar fan. But Turning Red was straight-up excellent. Felt like a breath of fresh air for a studio that has fallen into something of a stylistic rut.

I know directors generally have no say in the marketing for a movie of this size but centering the advertising around a countdown clock is so utterly tacky that I'm actively hoping it fails.

I got really into this for a couple of months but fell off. It is very streamlined and addicting.

Politics are really depressing right now for any sane Floridian. If you think it's bad having to read about it imagine actually living here. This dancing incident is infuriating that fed-up Floridians and every one of them should lose their jobs. This is dire and reacting to it by dancing is a message that they aren't taking any of this seriously.

Not exactly but I'm in a better place than I was a year or two ago and hopefully will continue to gradually improve.

The worst jazz I've heard live was still halfway decent. I've yet to experience some mind-blowing live jazz but I am down.

The Beavis and Butthead revival has been mostly pretty good and I think there's more potentially interesting things to do with bringing King of the Hill back so consider me intrigued.

My "home theater" could not even close to doing this movie justice but if I ever run across someone with a nice wall projector I may just settle on that.

I tried listening to Weird Al's "Jerry Springer" song in tribute but wow has that song not aged well.

I was reasonably skeptical of this movie from the get go because it's Illumination but have been pleasantly surprised by how bring and colorful the animation is. Nintendo's creative involvement is certainly felt. This movie looks exactly how a Mario movie should look. I wanna see it in theaters but will wait till the kiddie audience wans. As for the movie itself, "perfectly fine" and "just okay" are on the high end of what I expect from an Illumination joint. If it's just an okay movie with gorgeous visuals and plenty of fun easter eggs then I consider it a best case scenario for Illumination's Mario movie.
