hey it could be worse. rather than arguing about box office you could be trying to subtly get you PIL to realize all the homophobic FB shit they post - Beaker Jun 18, 17:36 7
- Sorry. My house guests this weekend were Republicans. I’ve got a photo on my family wall of my daughter and her wife. I also drank from a Pride coosie - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 18, 17:47 2
  - I, too, have a gay friend. So, anything wildly homophobic I say is excusable. -- nm - David Jun 18, 19:53 1
    - Exactly. What evs. At least they are getting out of their conservative bubble. -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 18, 19:56
- PIL = paternal in-laws? -- nm - David Jun 18, 17:38 3
  - parents-in-law. they are full on the "protect the children" bandwagon. They will get a rude awakening if our kids ever decide to start in on them - Beaker 🍻 Jun 18, 17:42 1
    - Some of the gays are falling for this nonsense too. I’m like, no! It’s all the same disinformation as before just with a new hat! -- nm - Qale Jun 18, 19:04
  - Parents in-law? -- nm - Ender Jun 18, 17:39

sometimes I miss insulation and central heat. 1.5C (35F) outside this morning, 9C (48F) inside. I've never been so cold as inside in Australian winter - mafic Jun 18, 17:14 5
- And I though our insulation was bad. The heat pumps do a good job though -- nm - Karl_S Jun 18, 19:14
- there's really no heat? -- nm - loosilu Jun 18, 17:19 3
  - fireplace and reverse cycle A/C. I'll run the reverse cycle in daylight when the solar pays for it, and the fireplace kind of sucks. - mafic Jun 18, 17:34
  - Would you want to provide Australian wildlife a place to curl up by a fire? Suffer so that shit can hibernate or die. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 18, 17:20 1
    - Ohhhhhhhh. -- nm - loosilu Jun 18, 17:21
US Open spoils -- (edited) - budice Jun 18, 16:44 2
- Related, lighter. Ricky Fowler's clothes today slay. But that's no surprise. He and Puma have been setting the trend for over 10 years. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jun 18, 17:00
- Welp, he really should have thought twice about moving that ball mark, but Saudi golf indicates the punishment is beheading and meat grinder so.... -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 18, 16:54
When my neighbor was driving me home from the hospital last week she was telling me how much she and her boys loved Legos. She may be sorry ;) -- (pic) - Meg Jun 18, 16:37 [Attachment] 10
- You can never have too much -- nm - Karl_S Jun 18, 19:16 1
  - Right now I'm binging Lego Masters Australia, season 3. I enjoy the Australian and Canadian competition shows so much more than the U.S. ones. -- nm - Meg Jun 18, 19:32
- Jealous! -- nm - TWuG Jun 18, 17:16 1
  - I wish I could share them but they'd have to be sorted :/ -- nm - Meg Jun 18, 17:30

  - I asked her husband this morning whether they had too many or too few. He said they're going up to the lake this week and - Meg Jun 18, 16:55 1
    - So cool!! -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 18, 17:26
What a crappy day this has been on Twitter. Feels like the last tipping point. -- nm - mara Jun 18, 16:37 3
- its awful -- nm - Remlik Jun 18, 18:18
- Come on my podcast and debate me about why you’re wrong, mara -- nm - Tim Jun 18, 16:48
- DEBATE ME! -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 16:39
We went to the No Hard Feelings sneak last night. That was some leftover script from 1992, right? - Andie Jun 18, 16:09 12
- I cannot wait to see this. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:11
- Definitely felt like a throwback, but it was fun. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Jun 18, 16:52
- My first thought upon seeing the trailer was "is this some movie that JLAW made ten years ago that never got released? -- nm - Ender Jun 18, 16:35 1
  - yup -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 16:37
- I agree fully, although I'd argue it was from the 70s or early 80s. - David Jun 18, 16:18 3
  - Kids are still pervs, believe me. There's also there's weird bunch (the Puriteens) that have extended "consent" to fictional characters. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 16:20 2
    - I started to ask for more information and then decided against it. - David Jun 18, 16:25 1
      - agreed. every scenario I can imagine is deeply weird. -- nm - mafic Jun 18, 16:31
- It's been a generation since the last push of the teen sex comedy -- it's time again. - Will Hunting Jun 18, 16:16 3
  - Wow I had not realized this til now -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 18, 16:50 2
    - teen sex omedies were a drive in staple. -- nm - loosilu Jun 18, 17:07
    - THe early 80's had Porky's and all those crazy teen "Please fuck me" movies...then it went quiet till American Pie so a solid 15-18 years....and now - Will Hunting Jun 18, 16:53
Hey, Summer Stalker assignments have been sent out. - elf kelly Jun 18, 15:59 5
- Just saw it! Back down to the village I go - got the first half last night:) -- nm - Meg Jun 18, 16:17
- I got back into the summer stalker shirts this year hoping there would be a great local Stanley Cup shirt I can send -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 18, 16:08
- skipped summer this year, but will be back for Christmas! -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 16:00 1
  - Same -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 16:08
- Thanks for doing this again! I love it! -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 16:00
Twitter is pivoting to video, as all dumb websites eventually must -- (link) - Todd Manning Jun 18, 15:58 4
- This worked great for newspapers. -- nm - Ender Jun 18, 16:39
- TikTok has this right. The problem with most video content is that it's far too long and thereby too much of a time investment. -- nm - David Jun 18, 16:03 2
  - Both for production and viewing -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 17:30 1
    - That's the real problem here. Creating even a two-minute video is often a multi-person job with a time investment that's a factor of 100 higher. - David Jun 18, 17:35
ah, well then. -- (link) - Reagen Jun 18, 15:41 3
- A) Are they sure this time? B) Maybe sending her back to the same hospital wasn't the best idea... -- nm - Ender Jun 18, 16:42
- *shoots her in the head, just to be sure* - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 18, 15:42 1

Elemental shows the impact of what happens when you devalue a brand by moving it to Disney+. What a sad end to Pixar as we knew it. - MDH Jun 18, 15:34 33
- Or at least putting it on the streamer as quickly as they are. My sister has three kids. For them to go to the movies, tickets alone are $70 - spamlet Jun 18, 15:47 11
  - We discuss this on the podcast this week. The people who left theaters just aren't coming back except for many one every few years. -- (link) - David Jun 18, 15:51 10
    - They still go regularly. They saw Guardians and Spider-Man but Pixar means nothing to the kids and there’s no urgency to see it. -- nm* - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 18, 16:00 6
      - Exactly. People have returned to theaters. Look at the grosses. They are just selective and Pixar has no name anymore. It’s been killed. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:12 3
        
        Box office during the first quarter of 2023 fell 25% short of 2019 levels, and that's with Avatar 2. -- nm - David Jun 18, 17:22 2
        
        studios only released 65% of the total number of titles in theaters last year v 2019. the pipeline also isn’t yet at pre-pandemic levels -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 19:19 1
        
        Who said anything about last year? That's the most recent data. And we've had a boatload of mega-expensive films out lately. Why did they fail? -- nm - David Jun 18, 19:53
      - This is one of those rare films I can happily recommend to everyone. It's slight but lovely. -- nm - David Jun 18, 16:09
      - yup. -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 16:01
    - we seniors know what days are our $4 discount. -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 18, 15:55
    - yes collapsing the theatrical window even shorter was also felony stupid -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:54 1
      - As demonstrated by...all the found money studios are getting from PVOD? -- nm - David Jun 18, 15:56
- It can be easily fixed back. Just delay the releases to dvd and disney. Bring back the vault. -- nm - Qale Jun 18, 15:39
- Mmm, #HotTakes -- nm - David Jun 18, 15:35 19
  - why did it open lower than any other Pixar since Toy Story in 1995? -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:43 18
    - Why have The Suicide Squad, Black Adam, Shazam 2, and The Flash all bombed? - David Jun 18, 15:49 17
      - Other than them being bad movies? -- nm - Ender Jun 18, 16:44 1
        
        My understanding is that The Flash is the best superhero movie ever. - David Jun 18, 16:45
      - lol and there's zero difference between any movies from any different studios -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:50 11
        
        I don't even understand what you're arguing here, if anything. -- nm - David Jun 18, 15:54 10
        
        DC movies being total shit has nothing to do with why Pixar has been kneecapped theatrically -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:56 9
        
        "Kneecapped" meaning what exactly? Do you even know what the opening weekend box office difference is between this and Onward? - David Jun 18, 15:57 8
        
        It’s down 25% from Onward after opening and will be ahead because ten days from now, the world won’t shut down. - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 18, 16:01 7
        
        The argument is that Pixar has ruined itself, and that's easily disproven by the fact that this film will outearn their most recent one. - David Jun 18, 16:09 6
        
        I mean, that's a take. It's going to finish ahead of a movie that was removed from theatres after 14 days because of a global pandemic.... - Will Hunting Jun 18, 16:14 5
        
        It'll be running neck and neck with that film by next Sunday, which is before the shutdown. So, your point vanishes. - David Jun 18, 16:23 4
        
        I'll take Wednesday night or as 2020 calls it RudyGoberteenth. - Will Hunting Jun 18, 16:50 3
        
        The fact here is we will never be able to make the case to David about anything Disney. It’s just not worth it. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:14 2
        
        If that helps you defend an easily refuted bad-faith argument, okay. Saying Pixar is dead reminds of the time that you swore beer was dead. -- nm - David Jun 18, 17:18 1
        
        Go back and look at the post. I never said that. I said Hard Seltzer was skyrocketing and taking market share. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:28
      - Because Warner put all of its movies on HBO Max and devalued everything. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 15:50 2
        
        yes also begs the question “why is box office down since 2019” -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:53
        
        So, why is all the other box office down as well? - David Jun 18, 15:53
