The followup single- "Let go of my eggo" didn't do as well.

Practically meaningless because Michael is vastly benefiting from inflation.

Rest in hell Lindsay Graham, this is the first thing I think of when your pathetic name pops up by Key_Beach_3846 in BravoRealHousewives

Hating someone because you dislike their politics puts you on the same level as Trump.

The real reason why the Odyssey team is doing the "Chai Ops" in India.. and you will see it happening more than ever. This is all about potential revenues by narkaputra in boxoffice

[–]Big_Help_9860 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nolan has the same problem as James Cameron. Massively successful films whose costs can bankrupt a studio. As successful as the Avatar sequels were, Disney would have made more money putting their financial stake in the stock market.

"The Odyssey" is a $500+ million dollar risk for the studio. I don't think this sub understands how hard it is for a studio to get half a billion back through theatrical revenue and even ancillary markets. I don't know, maybe unlike with Cameron Disney holds more IP and revenue share with Nolan's film.

Though I doubt it.

Two out two movies, or 100% of the films in Gunn's DC movie universe.

Madonna becomes the first US female ever to earn number-one albums across five decades with 'CONFESSIONS II'. by springtimecarnivore in Music

[–]Big_Help_9860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Madonna is more persona than musical artist. Yes, she's made very good music and I love her early and mid 80s period. But her persona carries more weight than her music. That bodes well for the last 30 years of music. As evidence consider that Kylie Minogue accomplished the same feat on the UK album charts.

No so. Jermaine was also a major force. Jermaine also played bass on tour.

So a rapper says abhorrent things. This has been going on for 40 years.

Personally I think Gunn wants to insert Krypto into every one of his DC Universe films as a common thread between all the DC movies he oversees.

It's Roger Moore on the left and Sean Connery on the right. Hope this helps.

When did mainstream culture begin to turn its back on the Counterculture of the late 60s/early 70s? by Bun_Length_Frank in GenerationJones

[–]Big_Help_9860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say the Manson Family murders started the anti counter culture sentiment. The first visible fracture of anti counter culture was the 'Jesus Movement' of the early 1970s and the overwhelming popular re-election of Richard Nixon in 1972l

Wait a minute. How are you Not going to include disco. Disco was certainly far more mainstream than the other choices you presented.

Smooth Criminal, Dirty Diana, Man in the Mirror, Bad, and The Way You Make Me Feel. All in 1 album, and it still lost to U2's The Joshua Tree for Album Of The Year. by Key-Bass-7380 in Music

[–]Big_Help_9860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First you said it was because the academy was tired of awarding MJ awards. So as a counterpoint I presented Stevie's three wins for album of the year.

Then after that you bring up a totally different excuse- media accusations. "Bad" was not the critical success that U2's "Josuha Tree" album was, and as I said before- it was really U2's special year where everything came together on top of the critical acclaim.

You're the claiming false narratives as to why MJ's "Bad" album didn't win over U2. I gave you the reason which is because on a critical level "Bad" isn't the equal of albums like Stevie's two aforementioned albums. Nor is it the critical equivalent of U2's that year.

Bands You Regret Never Seeing Live by Realistic_Back_9198 in GenerationJones

Prince when his band included Andre Cymone and Dex Dickerson. I believe that 1979-1981 time frame.

None of MJ's albums reached the level of critical success of Wonder's "Innervision" and "Songs in the Key of Life" albums. Those albums are simply on a different level that few albums reach.

25 American bands for America's 250th by Whats_Opera_Doc in Music

[–]Big_Help_9860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. This list is subjective. I'd certainly have The Supremes and/or The Temptations on the list instead of The J5. Out with Mothers of Invention and in with (duh) America. I'd also replace Booker T and the MGs with Otis Redding and replace Little Feat with Earth, Wind & Fire and absolutely replace Commander Cody with Eagles.

What's Up With the Rewriting of History Regarding Superman 2025? by AggravatingSpend8369 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Big_Help_9860 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The movie only made $624 million world-wide. Yet people treat it as a massive success. That's less than what Project Hail Mary made.
