- Ugh, I'm sorry. -- nm - David Jun 6, 12:07

Trailers during Furiosa Tuesday - Crow reboot (looks like shit), Horizon (can't wait), Wicked (this is a musical isn't it?) -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:27 14
- Wicked, like Horizon, is a two-part extravaganza. Part One this Xmas -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 6, 11:31
- it better be a musical if you cast Ariana Grande -- nm - Jovian Jun 6, 11:31 5
  - I know, but maybe the trailer should maybe have some music. just a thought -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:33 4
    - Agreed. I saw the full trailer in the theater a week ago and its just so odd that zero music. -- nm - Jovian Jun 6, 11:54
    - the marketing geniuses of hollywood have determined that people hate musicals, yet also continue to make them (at gunpoint i have to assume?) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 6, 11:48 2
      - Yeah—audiences have to be tricked into watching them, basically -- nm - Trending Jun 6, 11:55 1
        
        My theory is that whoever is making them is actually right - people do like them. A lot. They're just uncomfortable with the *idea* of them. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 12:04
- If Brandon Lee hadn’t died the Crow would 100% be forgotten. -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 11:29 6
  - The tv series for it established a really interesting superpower. I forget if it was in the movie. -- nm* - Beryllium Jun 6, 11:52
  - I disagree and also thought Reagen had a brilliant idea that he was meant to play Neo in The Matrix. -- nm - David Jun 6, 11:51
  - Would’ve been more of a cult film—had an amazing soundtrack—btw I was surprised to see Kristen Dunst was in one of The Crow remakes - Trending Jun 6, 11:40
  - I think it would be thought of as Brandon Lee's breakthrough film - JD Jun 6, 11:37

ST Poll: How many Billboard Hot 100 #1s and Top 10s does P!nk have? Can you name any of them? Also, what is her signature song? -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:17 35
- Get the Party Started, for signature. Top songs: So What, Just like a Pill, Don't Let Me Get Me - Andie Jun 6, 12:41
- I always confuse P!NK with Pink Martini -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 6, 11:29 1
  - When you think about it... -- nm - LFG Jun 6, 11:30
- So What as signature song. I mean, that song embodies Pink -- nm - JaxSean Jun 6, 11:26 4
  - Have never heard it. -- nm - LFG Jun 6, 11:28
  - Exactly my thought as well. *High fives* -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:26 2
    - Word. Followed by Raise Your Glass. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 6, 11:43 1
      - Yup. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:47
- no idea. no idea. no idea. Me & Bobby McGee cover -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 6, 11:26
- no idea and couldn't name any of her songs but I dated a woman whose cousin dated her in high school - decline Jun 6, 11:24
- 4 #1s and 11 Top 10 Hits. I think signature song is "So What" - her first #1, and the song she "flies" to. - MDH Jun 6, 11:24 2
  - Where'd You Make me Sick top out at ? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 6, 12:38
  - Her career arc from R&B to Rock/pop to pop to "mom pop" is really something. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:25
- in Australia? all of them. -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 11:23 3
  - She's made Australia forget about Kylie Minogue! - prayformojo 🐵 Jun 6, 11:24 1
    - But not Yahoo Serious! NEVER Yahoo Serious! -- nm - David Jun 6, 11:27
  - This is a great answer. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:24
- My Pink song is Trouble. -- nm - LFG Jun 6, 11:21 4
  - Get the Party Started is her signature, for me. And maybe Who Knew. -- nm - LFG Jun 6, 11:22 3
    - Get the Party Started is her only song that I know of. -- nm - mud Jun 6, 11:45 1
      - (maybe coz of its use by the NBA for a couple seasons) -- nm - mud Jun 6, 11:46
    - oh yeah, that is definitely either 1 or 2 -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:22
- I'll say 3/15. Her signature is probably that Just Give Me a Reason duet to most, but it's Just Like a Pill for me. - David Jun 6, 11:20 5
  - 3 solo #1s, 4 including Lady Marmalade. Just Give Me A Reason is her biggest #1 hit/streaming song, but I'd argue not her top 3 signature. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:23 4
    - What do you think is, So What? Just Like Fire? Blow Me One Last Kiss? - David Jun 6, 11:24 2
      - So What is my guess. Blow me is third after raise your glass. Just Like Fire is a completely forgotten song. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:25 1
        
        It's still in heavy rotation on XM, as much as anything of hers, really. -- nm - David Jun 6, 11:26
    - Yeah, all three of mine before that one. -- nm - LFG Jun 6, 11:24
- 0 and 13 -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:17 6
  - Too low, and too high. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:19
  - signature song is Raise Your Glass. like What About Us (with the Panic at the Disco dude I think) plus a bunch more I love but can't name -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:18 4
    - I'm terrible with titles. play me a song and I can likely sing along and know the words but ask me its name and *shrug* no clue -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:20 1
      - me too -- nm - mud Jun 6, 11:54
    - I'd give Raise Your Glass as an option for signature song. Maybe second on the list IMO. What About Us peaked at #13. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:20 1
      - she did a great job on the Greatest Showman remix too (along with her daughter) -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:21
I'm waiting for next season when Ohtani pitches to Skenes. er, wait. -- nm - JD Jun 6, 11:11
V: Alamo Drafthouse Ownership files for Bankruptcy, 6 locations shuttered -- (link*) - budice Jun 6, 11:10 2

- (franchisee's locations, not the chain itself) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 6, 11:12
oof, Costner's Horizon is tracking for a "worrisome" $12m (cost $100m+) -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 6, 11:06 19
- 38% on RT after 26 reviews -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:17
- Good thing he'll make it up in volume with Chapter 2 already done and Chapter 3 in production -- nm - JD Jun 6, 11:10
- I have a feeling it'll be a good bit more than that. His Yellowstone audience is gonna see this. -- nm - Inigo Jun 6, 11:10 9
  - I wonder how much goodwill he lost for torpedoing the show? -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:17 4
    - It really looks like he said 'I can't do a Yellowstone season because I'm busy doing my own Taylor Sheridan western with Yellowstone cast' -- nm - Max Jun 6, 11:29 3
      - 100% agreed. I'd imagine a lot of folks aren't happy Yellowstone got lost in the process. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 11:31 2
        
        I don't get what the calculus was here. Producer money? He's an executive producer for Yellowstone. - Max Jun 6, 12:26 1
        
        I wouldn't be shocked if Taylor is a Donald Bellisario type where Costner knows a) he can do it better and b) he hates - Will Hunting Jun 6, 12:40
  - "Insiders say Costner believes that tracking isn’t capturing his fanbase, which largely resides in the middle of the country." -- nm - David Jun 6, 11:13 1
    - Maybe they should start phoning people to poll them about it. They seem like the sort to answer phone polls. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 11:51
  - agreed; I plan to see it in theatre (cheap night); I love his westerns -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:11 1
    - I figure I will bring the average age down significantly... -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 6, 11:22
- Part 2 will make bank! -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 6, 11:08
- So he just needs to open it 7 more times and he'll make his money back! -- nm - decline Jun 6, 11:07 3
  - the second half is supposed to come out later this year -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 6, 11:08 2
    - August 16th. -- nm - Inigo Jun 6, 11:11
    - if he splits it into 7 parts he'll be golden! -- nm - decline Jun 6, 11:10
- it's no The Postman, that's for sure. -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 11:07 1
  - Waterworld Rocked, man -- nm - mud Jun 6, 11:38
Rivian is revamping it's 2 existing cars, the R1S and R1T - still pricey at 79K and up. The new (affordable) R2 will be out in 2026 at 45K - decline Jun 6, 11:05 1

Boeing capsule docks with ISS -- (link) - oblique Jun 6, 10:57 2

Discovery+ is still a thing because Zaslav gets two paychecks that way. -- nm - David Jun 6, 10:56

Pizza Hut Loads Up Garlic Bread in Australia -- (link) - budice Jun 6, 10:48 3
- I didn't even know we had pizza hut. I'm not surprised it's even more terrible than original pizza hut. -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 11:16
- Isn't that just a mini pizza? -- nm - Max Jun 6, 10:56
- do not want. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 6, 10:52
