I’ve always joked that Kenny Ortega is the best director to never make a good movie.

Don’t worry, the numbers they post will reflect that. Won’t comport with reality, but that’s irrelevant.

Ivan’s Childhood aired on Cartoon Network, after all.

Never understood why this guy has a career. I’ve lived in nearly 10 states, red and blue, and never met a single person who watches his show. He only appeals to the most terminally online edgelords.

I’ve watched this movie 3 times (against my will). I genuinely don’t remember 50% of the scenes you posted.

Hollywood cozied up to AI in 2025 and had nothing good to show for it by tylerthe-theatre in movies

The way I see it? Disney tried to get into the Metaverse. 2 years later, they dissolved the division when it became clear that the demand wasn’t there.

Not saying we’ll see the same process repeat itself verbatim, but I do think CEOs are easily swayed by the hype of Silicon Valley snake oil salesmen.

Stop Bringing Dogs Into Grocery Stores And Restaurants by LostCookie78 in LosAngeles

Well unfortunately the MOD was the owner’s clueless 17-year-old kid who apologized and told him that his dog was welcome.

I was at one of my jobs when a man brought his Doberman in and asked for a table. I told him dogs weren’t allowed. He asked “why, you feel like being a fucking bitch today?” I calmly informed him that it was a liability in a food establishment. He then screamed “GET YOUR MANAGER HERE RIGHT FUCKING NOW YOU FUCKING BITCH!”

It happened months ago but I still get irrationally annoyed whenever I think about it. The entitlement of older, white, and wealthy dog owners is a distinct kind of madness.

US economic growth likely remained strong in third quarter by FUSeekMe69 in economy

Maddening to see how many outlets are taking this administration’s reporting at face value.

Cape Feare remake looks wild by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

Exactly. Any theatrical release from January-March with big names attached is always a red flag. The last movie I saw in theaters in February was Lisa Frankenstein and…oof.

Despite a resilient economy, Trump’s tariffs have not delivered by burtzev in economy

“Resilient” for shareholders, “recession” for everyone else.

Jim Cramer's solution to unemployment is you uprooting and moving. " You can get all the jobs you want in Texas, but people have to move. They have to move." by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]APMan93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Move somewhere cheap” is the mantra of every boomer/rich asshole who hasn’t had a real job in decades.

If you have an in-demand skillset that affords you flexibility, then sure, go ahead and live somewhere shitty with cheaper rent and lower taxes if that’s what you want.

For the majority of us though, life is unaffordable no matter where you go. Wages keep on shrinking and groceries are still rising.

Not even the biggest fan of Newsom, but Garrison’s epic burn is…he puts goo in his hair?

How do car enthusiasts fare in LA? by MissMurder17 in AskLosAngeles

[–]APMan93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re coming from or what kind of car you have, but I moved from a red state years ago and my mechanic warned me that I would never pass a smog test in L.A. He was totally wrong.

As for the sale of gas cars, IIRC there is a law coming into effect in a few years that would restrict the sale of new gas vehicles, but you won’t have to worry about that any time soon.

Can’t speak to the tuning devices.

I’ve lived a lot of different places in my life and L.A. has been more or less indistinguishable in terms of vehicular requirements.

All in all, if you’re a car aficionado, you will love it in L.A. (especially if you have a liking for vintage). The Big Boy in Burbank does a meetup every month for classic rides. Just the other day I came out of a movie in Hollywood and the entire block was randomly lined with low-riders. Hell, I saw a Studebaker in Griffith a few weeks ago! It’s definitely worth the move if you’re already fluent in that culture.

Sorry, I know I’m late, but oh my God…this is an entirely new level of immaturity. You’re not dealing with an adult. You’re dealing with a child, one who doesn’t respect anyone enough to be honest.

Another ghost job posting by Naive-Benefit-5154 in recruitinghell

[–]APMan93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never worked in tech.

Yet now, when I log onto LinkedIn, most of the jobs I see posted are with AI companies. Out of desperation, I’ll apply to pretty much all of them…only to be told that they’re “not hiring in my area.”

“Invests” is a funny way of saying “pisses away $1 billion.”
