Not much box office news this week, but apparently Joker 2 is a contender for biggest second weekend drop of all time so we'll just have to see It could also surpass The Marvels as the biggest sequel box office drop of all time.

Meanwhile ticket pre-sales for both Wicked and Gladiator 2 are apparently pretty good. This bothers me because those movies look fricking stupid

Anyway, what is everyone in !kino watching this week?

It would destroy such life in favor of its new matrix. (Try to keep up.)

Do you have any idea of what you're saying?

I was not attempting to evaluate its moral implications doctor.

Actual footage of me dealing with a dramatard.

These arguments are only anti-art if it's from handwringing Christian moms but totes okie when it comes from a pompous mainland Euro auteur (Haneke is an Austrian btw, make that of what you will ).

!kino !anime

My mom would sing this to me all the time as a kid.

James Cagney is a mick. (Like me.) He's playing George Cohan (a Jew if you don't get it). That was considered normal back then because we were all Americans.

Btw "over there" is referring to France. We'll keep coming back.

I'm gonna post stuff written by Jews until the kids here get how much of a Jew-lover I am.

!jidf

This might be incredibly shocking but I really like Jews.

It's dimensional merge time neighbors

Genuinely curious if the word of mouth killed the movie.

Sounds like the guy wanted to try something David Lynch would do and it failed with audiences spectacularly (just like Lynch would).

!kino !g*mers

Movie is about getting jacked up by southern cops because you're a Yankee. (First reason for a right to bear arms.)

Second movie not a parody but it's kinda based on it.

Sullivan's Travel's. !christians This is where you got me.

@Murdervann has not accepted personal responsibility for what he did yet. (I'm still trying to imagine what that means.) Can people start blaming him for that while I try to think?

Seriously, by the end when he kills Tory it has to be like 500th time the poor guy gets screwed

Playstation is filth

Disney is starwarslop and shitty remakes

Everything else is cringe or boring

Hnnnngh

I AM ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT EVERY EPISODE!

Kinda miss the old episodes when it was just weird real 911 calls like drowning in chocolate. Idk if they could do the "man shoved an eel up his intestines and it ate its way out" but it is still SO GOOD.

I wonder how many straight dudes watch this sometimes.

Any forum board talking about this show is just foids that just desperately wants these two firefighters to frick and write fanfiction about it

On July 27th 1978 a man's life is changed forever after reading a comic strip. Set to music by Philip Glass.

If you are interested in the movie at all I would skip this review and sequester ( ) yourself til it comes out...

Saw the movie last night, thought it was a great thriller. all the acting was great. The movie did a very good job building tension.

I thought there was weird addition in the last 5 min that I think will cause controversy when it does come out, and it does take away a little from the overall picture, but still worth a watch.

Crazy that the movie is PG and I didn't even really notice.

That is all.

!kino !anime

Other funny I stuff I found.

!kino !writecel what do you think of this character? Do you think Louis bussy-blasted him? Would Walt Jr identify as Skyler Jr instead of Flynn if Breaking Bad came out today? Was he r-slurred?

Laughable propaganda

!ringbearers !bookworms

You mentioned their relationship might remind people of their own relationships, including romantic. There were times watching Celebrimbor and Annatar that I wondered if there was some romantic, or even sexual, underpinning to what was going on there?

MCKAY I would say the nature of this relationship and its closeness, and the even the sexual tension in it, has been a source of speculation by may fans of the source material for many years. Anytime you're dealing with such powerful emotions as seduction and deception, I think it's easy for your imagination to go there.

PAYNE I think you can see it from the beginning of their interactions together in the second episode. Sauron is pulling Celebrimbor in by saying, "There are things I can only tell to you," and, "You always saw me the way no one else could" and "You're safe with me." You're seeing this intimate dance that Sauron is doing. So certainly we could see how people could take that a step further and ship them.

AAAAAAGHHHHHHHH

I thought shipping the Dark Lord with Galadriel was enough but apparently Celebrimbor/Annatar fan-fiction was important to the plot too.

MCKAY And it's also a story of the orcs, right? Adar is an orc who believes that orcs could be something more. They could have a home. He even seems to promise Galadriel they'll leave the rest of Middle-earth alone. In some ways, it's not just the story of how Sauron claims the orc nation, it's also the story of how there was a chance that orcs could have been a people in their own right

Muhh uruk lives matter. NOOO YOU CAN'T MAKE THE ORCERINOS BAD!

And it looks like not even the normie schlock site enjoyed the finale

Also, the Balrog destroying Khazad-dûm is just like the heckin climate change

Over in Khazad-dûm, I always had the impression that once the Balrog was released, he wreaked havoc and drove everyone out of the mines immediately. But in your story, this is more of a gradual corruption process. That city is still occupied and they're still going to be fighting for it going into season three.

MCKAY This is a thing where, how do societies fall? Usually it's gradually, and then all at once. If you want to use climate change as a metaphor, climate change is not an event. Climate change is a process that ebbs and flows, that's always headed in a dark direction. I think a kingdom as great and powerful as Khazad-dûm does not fall in a moment. The fall is the product of many disasters over time. And I think it would sell Khazad-dûm short for the Balrog to get out and then it's all over. It's more complicated. We think there's a bigger story to be told here.
