‘Superman: Legacy’ Nabs ‘Barry’ Star Anthony Carrigan as DC Hero Metamorpho -- (link) - Remlik Jul 12, 12:10 10
- And just by naming that one character, I know this movie is in trouble. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:15 4
  - HAHAHA. wrong -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:24 2
    - NFILL being cast as the wrong Green Lantern does not help support your position. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:26 1
      - cast as the right GL you mean. Look they're saving Kyle for a special project. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:27
  - As in trying to flesh-out the *entire* new DCMU in the first movie, I worry. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:16
- Is this going to be like the Arrowverse with everyone but Batman? -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:14 3
  - The Batman Matt Reeves movie continues on it's own. Batman And Robin will be the DCU Batman and will have it's own feature... - Remlik Jul 12, 12:25 2
    - A DCU without a Batman is a fail before it even begins. We better get more than a cameo. -- nm* - Spawn Jul 12, 12:26 1
      - Not really. Batman didn't appear in DC History until a year after the debut of Batman. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:28
- Metamornohopho? -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 12:13
The first M:I is such a time capsule of a movie - Reagen Jul 12, 12:09 12

  - "What's a new and exciting location to feature the climax? The Chunnel!" -- nm - Roger More Jul 12, 12:28
  - Some very "it was a TV show, we have to shoot it like a TV show" decisions in places -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 12:27
- yet none of the sequels have surpassed it -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 12:15 5
  - You know they made a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and now a 7th, right? -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 12, 12:18 4
    - The 1st one is the best. A simple story, awesomely told. -- nm - Loyola Jul 12, 12:22 3
      - I'm old enough to remember it being criticised for being too confusing. - Roger More Jul 12, 12:27 1
        
        It was the core of Ebert's review! -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 12:28
      - eggzactly -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 12:24
- and the emails he sends out. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:11
another defamation suit coming your way Fox N*** -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 12:01 4
- "He did not enter the Capitol and was not been charged with a crime" nice job by the AI editor -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 12:04 2
  - It also needed a narrative that did not alienate its viewers, who had grown distrustful of Fox because ofi ts perceived lack of fealty to Trump - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 12:05 1
    - and another one with no capital letter to start a sentence. WTF? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 12:06
- Oh yes. That was the 'Mastermind' who was behind all of 01/06. -- nm - Jovian Jul 12, 12:02
Live Nation Summer's Live: All In 4 tickets for $80 -- (link) - JD Jul 12, 11:46

  - ~$200 million cash option after taxes, not sure how many tix are in the pool. -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jul 12, 12:25
- Sent -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jul 12, 12:08
- Sent. Thanks. -- nm - pmb Jul 12, 11:57 1
  - Yes, thank you, zeitgeist. -- nm - David Jul 12, 11:58

    - Great thanks sent. -- nm - Loyola Jul 12, 12:13
- Sent just a bit ago -- nm - MDH Jul 12, 11:42
- If we're the sole winner and continue to pool the winnings, I think we could purchase a 777 -- nm - JD Jul 12, 11:40 3
  - They retail fir 150m, used runs from 30 to 100, plus a few mill to recertification. -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 12, 12:05 2

- Just power right now, wait till 750 so we don't have a dozen buys till it's near 2 b -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 12, 11:32
Pokémon Go: All the spawns are yellow, orange, and red today. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 11:27 13
- I want to paint it black. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 11:35 1
  - Mega Rayquaza is next month. -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 11:59
- what mean by "Spawn"? I just had one with a green circle and see lots of blue pokemon, brown, etc around -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 11:29 2
  - Spawn is a verb in this case. Unlike a pejorative in pixie’s usage. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 11:34
  - Each individual Pokemon that appears is a 'spawn' -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 11:30
- why? -- nm - decline Jul 12, 11:28 7
  - I dunno. Maybe it is a lot of starters which are inherently harder to catch. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 11:33 6
    - oh, you mean the catch circles, not the Pokemon themselves -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 11:35 5
      - Yes. So Gen 7 starters, party Hatachu, Togedemaru (for some reason is spawning), Absol, and big time Ponytas. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 11:46 3
        
        I need a Feebas. stupid tasks -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 11:49 2
        
        Some of the 'Hatch 2 eggs' field research tasks give feebas. Only some of them though, there are four other possible rewards for that quest. -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 12:01 1
        
        working on a trade here at work, hopefully tomorrow :) -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 12:06
      - Ah -- nm - JaxSean Jul 12, 11:39
okay Sondheimheads, time to prove how much of a fan you really are -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 11:27
don't spoil it but i swear if the mission isn't actually impossible this time, i'm suing for false advertising -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 11:26 2
- Mission: Unlikely doesn't have the same ring -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 12, 11:58
- The Mission is to make Tom Cruise look his age. -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 11:27
Russian General Sergei Surovikin, not seen since revolt, is 'resting' says lawyer -- (link) - zeitgeist Jul 12, 11:23 5
- they took him to the train station. -- nm - Diva Jul 12, 11:38 1
  - ..with a suitcase in my hand, it's hard to tell, so hard to tell, when all your love's in vain -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 12, 12:10
- at the bottom of an open window -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 11:26 1
  - Nine feet under -- nm - eag Jul 12, 11:34
- How do you say "pining for the fjords" in Russian? -- nm - TWuG Jul 12, 11:26
My contribution for "I can't believe people do this" is that I found out that people listen to audio books sped up - Reagen Jul 12, 11:17 16
- Yesterday I had NPR and YouTube running at the same time until one of them said something interesting. -- nm - Max Jul 12, 11:49
- I listen to Streaming Into the Void that way. It’s a must for The Daily. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 11:47 1
  - If I could play Streaming at 3x speed, I might give it a chance. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 13:08
- 1.2 or 1.4 is standard for me. I listen to all audio sped up and it feels like it drags if 1.0. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 12, 11:42
- Oh, no. Can't do it with books (and I don't really like listening to books anyway - too easily distracted). - Dark Callisto 🦊 Jul 12, 11:28 1
  - Highway driving is the only time I enjoy them. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 11:34
- I think I mentioned my wife listens at 1.5x (at least). It all sounds like chipmunks to me. -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 11:26
- x1.2 is perfect. My podcast listener has "smart speed" or something which balances compressing dead air and faster speech. I listen to SITV this way -- nm* - oblique Jul 12, 11:21 5
  - I do 1.1 plus dead air adjustment which gets me to effectively to 1.25x most of the time. - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jul 12, 11:52
  - Overcast has this. Yes. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 11:48
  - I tried getting rid of the dead air but didn't like that either. 🤷🏽‍♂️ -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 11:28
  - Oh I probably sound even weirder. -- nm - Tim Jul 12, 11:25 1
    - Only the theme and Kim’s giggling really sounds off. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 11:48
- I can't do it, not a fan. I did hear a podcast where they aired how blind people listen to books and such and it's insanely fast. Faster than people - Krusty Jul 12, 11:21 1
  - It's a big disservice to the readers who really act out the books, make characters, etc. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 11:22
- Yeah, I tried it once while driving to finish one by the end of my commute on Friday. It made me want to drive even faster, which defeated the purpose -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 11:19
Huh. The new Chipotle opening near me has a drive-thru - Strongbad Jul 12, 11:14 5
- Is it a true drive through or just a 'pick up lane' for pre-orders? - ty97 Jul 12, 11:16 3
  - be careful with this: you must call in the order or online order. You can't order in the lane. Guess what? the pick up line is WAY LONGER than going - Pippy Quintas Jul 12, 11:26 1
    - Thanks for clarifying. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 12, 12:14
  - They actually classify them as pickup lanes specifically to get around regulations around drive-throughs -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 11:20
- These dad jokes are getting out of hand... oh. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 11:15
The BBC presenter has been named by his wife. -- (link) - LMS Jul 12, 11:02 14
- Of note: Nothing illegal is alleged which is good. But it’s being couched in depression which is bad. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 12:12
- Bigger name than I expected. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 11:19
- "And on Wednesday, The Sun made more allegations - including that the presenter broke lockdown rules in 2021 to meet someone from a dating site" - ty97 Jul 12, 11:18 5
  - "He paid me money and I felt owned" - well that's on you then, isn't it? Block and move on. - Reagen Jul 12, 11:20 4
    - Everyone is a whore. We just sell different parts of ourselves for different things. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 11:21 3
      - My appendix is quite affordable. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 11:21 2
        
        How about the spleen? I would be looking for a package deal. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 11:23
        
        how much? -- nm - Doctor si Jul 12, 11:22
- "His wife Vicky Flind issued a statement on his behalf, saying he was "suffering mental health issues" and is now receiving in-patient hospital care" - ty97 Jul 12, 11:17
- Just to be clear to ST, his wife released the statement on her husband's behalf -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 11:14
- "almost exactly at the same time, the Metropolitan Police says that the allegations amounts to nothing - there's no evidence of a criminal offence" -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 11:12
- On a ten-point scale, how big a scandal is this in the UK? -- nm - David Jul 12, 11:04 2
  - He's national treasure status, but the tabloids love outing people and so The Sun has dragged this story out. -- nm - LMS Jul 12, 11:13
  - the US equivalent of Jake Tapper i'm guessing -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 11:05
Good to remember ? -- (pic) - Meg Jul 12, 10:48 [Attachment]
James Marsden getting an Emmy nomination for Jury Duty is amazing. -- nm - Tim Jul 12, 10:39 6
- I have to start this up already. My uncle has been on me to watch this. -- nm - Jovian Jul 12, 10:56 2
  - It's very, bery good overall. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 12, 11:40
  - Really fun show. You'll breeze through it and then hope they can figure out a way to make a second season. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 11:24
- or anything -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 10:52
- We were -just- talking about this! It's incredible! -- nm - David Jul 12, 10:51
- HAHA that's great -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 10:46

- Simu Liu -- (link) - budice Jul 12, 10:42
- Ryan Gosling -- (link) - budice Jul 12, 10:41
- Way better than the one she had for the US premiere -- nm - Flavorize Jul 12, 10:39
- PinkPantheress -- (link) - budice Jul 12, 10:33 6
  - So, we're just gonna pretend like there really is someone called PinkPantheress? -- nm - David Jul 12, 10:53 5
    - "Vicky Beverly Walker" isn't as fun a name I guess -- nm - ty97 Jul 12, 11:21
    - I was just going to say—this person is News to me -- nm - Flavorize Jul 12, 10:54 3
      - She had a hit this year with "Boy's a Liar", reached #3. (Some versions feature Ice Spice as well) - ty97 Jul 12, 11:26 1
        
        who the fuck is Ice Spice? There are 5 Spice Girls and Ice ain't one of them -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 11:27
      - No, these are News -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 12, 10:56

- I'll take one Handbook for the Recently Deceased, please. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 12, 10:33
SAG briefed the agents on Monday. “They were not speaking in conditional sentences” (tho before the studios went running to daddy) -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 10:16
wow, can't believe Sarah Goldberg got snubbed for Barry. She was fantastic the whole show, but really great in season 4. - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 10:15
I don't understand how people can be outside in this weather and not sweat. I'm pouring sweat and I see so many people without a drop - Krusty Jul 12, 10:07 10
- You just have to hold it in. - Spawn Jul 12, 11:16
- I don't understand "east coast suit culture" with this in mind. How are they not soaked to the bone? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 10:27 6
  - like women who wear flats on the commute and switch to heels at the office, guys carry their jacket -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 12, 10:52 2
    - that only gets you so far. button down + undershirt = ya still drenched -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 11:11
    - I might still have the same problem without the jacket. - Beryllium Jul 12, 11:01
  - Those guys have no choice but to wear one to the office but if they choose to wear one they're insane. -- nm - Krusty Jul 12, 10:42
  - no that’s pretty much summers -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 12, 10:31 1
    - I'd look like that video of jordan peele sweating -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 10:47
