    I live with 3 women including one who is potty training and I stand to piss :flag:

    It takes a lot of patience to help potty train an adult woman, I commend you and the time and energy you put into that!

    Just in time for Halloween.

    Wonder if the plot will be based on, or influenced by, The Long Halloween graphic novel and they're hoping to capitalize on that with this release.

    Batman is 3 hours long? Fuck that. Pass.

     

    I honestly don't even remember how it ended, because I was so zoned out by the end of this movie. It REALLY needed to be cut down.

    I don’t think the issue is that they are limiting password sharing, it is more that the scheme they are introducing isn’t great and at a time when the relative value of Netflix seems to be at an all time low.

    Yeah, and this doesn't come across as 'We've established the market, and now we're doing away with early adopter incentives'.  Rather this seems clearly a 'Shit, we're bleeding users to other services, how can we force more people into paying for their own account?'

     

    The execs seemed to have seen all of the customer complaints as to why they're leaving Netflix and decided 'Are we bleeding accounts because our original content is floundering, we've oversaturated our original content, we cancel almost every original series that gains popular traction, and we've lost most of our good 3rd party catalog to other services? No, no...it's the password sharing that's causing people to unsubscribe!'

    I think you guys are being far too cynical. We'll wait and see, and I hope for the best. 

    I think I'm being at the right level. I'm hopeful, I want Gunn to be successful, as a comic book nerd all the stuff he's promising I'd sell my left nut to see successfully done on the big screen, but I'm not going to hold my breath, either. Especially since, as I previously stated, my strongest distrust is with the executives at WB.

     

    Otherwise, I'll be the first with movie tickets in my hands to go watch this stuff.

    22! Or a little over 21 to be exact.

    Shut your lying mouth, it has not been that long and I refuse to hear otherwise.

    Also concerning that they are still clearly planning on keeping Ezra Miller if they can get away with it.

     

    Yeah, overall I am not excited by this at all. Maybe I will get hyped when individual movies are actually announced/revealed...but I was kind of hoping for a much harder reset. Go back to absolute basics with a great Superman movie unrelated to anything else, etc.

    The tone and way he brought up Flash 100% sounded like the boss trying to ease into explaining how he's going to rehire the employee that got fired after taking a shit in their hand and flinging it at their coworkers.

    I like Gunn and I want to see good DCU movies and shows, but I'm not super excited about the overall direction nor the specific stories that he went through in that video. They're still making the "Elseworlds" stuff like The Batman 2 and Joker 2. So, they're trying to go all in on continuity while at the same time it's clear some of their best stuff doesn't fit into that continuity.

     

    Also, I have to say that as someone who doesn't read comics but has seen their fair share of DC media, I have no attachment at all to many of the characters mentioned. Maybe that'll be be helpful in that they don't need to immediately re-introduce all the major DC characters, but they're really going to need to execute to convince me that these are worth my time.

     

    I also find it interesting that Gunn is continuing to do so much writing while also heading up this whole division. If he can do it, good for him, but it sure seems like a lot.

    I didn't realize there was a video. I'm watching it now. It's somehow filled me with even less confidence. I love Gunn, but this has the vibe of someone making a long Reddit post about 'This is how I would fix these movies' and it's just them coming up with the worst ideas for 1,500 words.

     

    I think Gunn is talented and confident, but I hope he hasn't gotten himself in over his head on this one.
