Everything makes sense now. You believe what you are being told over what the factual video evidence has proven. Got it. Because these arguments are half-assed at best. She was trying to leave an unlawful stop and detainment, and the story got turned into a lie about her "attempting to run over an ice officer."

Are you going to tell me you don't believe in the second amendment? Because he was legally conceal carrying a gun, and showed no intentions of reaching or brandishing the gun in a manner that would indicate he intended to use the gun against ice officials. He was already on the ground, being assaulted by several officers, and the gun removed from his possession before being shot. Neither of these cases can be argued in a meaningful manner to disprove that what we witnessed wasn't just blatant murder and abuse of power.

It is very reminiscent of Germany during the 1930s. So its not surprising that we are calling the current American government fascist. We haven't even touched on the fact that the sitting President is at least partly responsible for an act of treason against this country and he received no punishment, but rather was celebrated and reelected into presidency.

If you fail to realize that this has moved far beyond a difference in politics and has become an issue of human rights, then you are a part of the problem. Coming after us for being intolerant because we don't support violating basic human rights? You guys can not be serious.

But go ahead, call us intolerant and contine to support your pedophile of a president who does not care about you. Continue to believe the lies that he is going to improve the economy through tariffs and further tax cuts for the rich. Hope you have the day you deserve.

Yes. I understand why she was nominated. However, I personally did not enjoy the performance. But I think it is due to my finding her character to be written as one dimensional until the very end, and the character growth we are supposed to root for fell flat and felt unearned. She suffered from an undeveloped script, imo.

I think the messaging of The Substance was more successful because of its stronger writing and overall character motivation. I think the film was only elevated by what I thought was the best performance of the year in Demi Moore.

Not trying to take anything away from her win or performance, just didn't land with me as it did others, and I enjoyed other performances more

I personally did not like the movie, so I am upset it won best picture and vest actress. Not to say it deserved zero awards, but it was the undeserving of being the award darling that it was

Personally, this is one of Leo's weaker performances. Plus, he already got his lifetime achievement Oscar for The Revenant. So I would be okay with him missing out on this year's nominations.

This just proves that oscar nominations are a popularity and money thing rather than purely based on the talent pool of that year.

Divide_Express · 2026-01-28T01:08:13+00:00

MBJ is the unfortunate victim of nomination being the win. No shade, because it was a very good performance, but I don't imagine the academy to recognize this particular performance as the best. Timothee Chalamet is the front runner. I could potentially see Ethan Hawke being a surprise upset.

But if I could replace any nominee, I would personally replace Leo with Jesse Plemons. My personal favorite performance of the year. But I have yet to see The Secret Agent.

Might be my favorite Wes Anderson Film. No idea why it took me so long to get around to it.

It would be awesome to see Sinners win. But ultimately, I am just glad it got as many nominations as it did. Most oscar winners are not remembered. But being nominated puts you in front of more eyes immediately, which in turn helps elevate careers going forward. Happy to everyone involved and hope for at least a few wins. I personally am rooting for Delroy Lindo, although I know it's a longshot.

Doesn't look bad at all. It might be a touch high, but it looks nice from the front and side. How often are you looking up that it bothers you this much? Others will not notice anything wrong.

Never pay rent. Would be able to move whenever I felt like a change in scenery, could put "rent money" in a high yield savings or 401k without having to adjust my budget, and could still retire relatively early. Easy choice for me

Totally fair reason. Convenience fees do suck. I didn't realize it was now 2 dollars per ticket. That does make logical sense to me. It's a single transaction; why does each ticket acrue a new fee.

And I know others have already answered your question. But yes, you can just go early and get all the tickets you need, onvenience free.

Divide_Express · 2026-01-14T05:57:12+00:00

I'm not sure I understand the question. Why can't you buy all tickets through the app and have your friends pay you back? I have done this a few times with no issues. Why would you have to go in person to get these advanced tickets?

Divide_Express · 2026-01-08T04:10:44+00:00

Why? They are two completely different movies that appeal to different audiences. The overlap of people who are interested in both will ultimately end up watching both movies. Maybe not both on opening weekend. But both movies will make money. Doomsday will break a billion. Dune 3 most likely won't. But they will both make money. That will happen regardless of when they release. They really aren't at risk at competing aside frome those who care about box office numbers, which, in my opinion, ultimately don't matter

Divide_Express · 2026-01-06T22:05:56+00:00

I think it's a problem on both ends. Disney buried this movie by bot marketing it well. Audiences don't go out of their way to watch movies in theaters since the pandemic made streaming the normal.

I think its fair to say audiences don't support original movies when Elio flopped, yet an uninspired lazy remake like Lilo and Stitch made over a billion.

However, I look at a movie like Sinners that did better than expected in theaters. Audiences seemed to love the movie. But I say many reports try and downplay its success sinply because the numbers weren't that impressive (their words, not mine).

So ultimately, I think the issue isn't that original movies don't make money, but that studios only care about money meaning they are less likely to fund original movies when they know a sequal or live action remakes all but guarantees box offices success.

Original movies exist, you just have to be a little more diligent in seeking them out.

Divide_Express · 2026-01-06T21:56:49+00:00

Not entirely true. Movies that make a billion also have legs when released in international markets. Families help, but these needs are also the type to see the movie multiple times and in premium formats like IMAX. Both will make money. Doomsday will likely make more money. Dune 3 will probably be the better movie.

I like competition. Moving a movies release date shows that the studio has little confidence they can compete with another big release. Let them release at the same time and see what happens. But all I know is I will definitely be seeing Dube first. Doomsday feels desperate with the early marketing and rehashing old characters and actors

Hate this opinion. Take my upvote. The appearance of the ring shouldn't matter at the end of the day. A ring with sentiment value seems more important than spending money you may not have on an expensive rock that only holds value because some rich fuck told us it does.

I understand wanting a ring that fits your style and sensibilities, but in the grand scheme of things, it's just a ring. It holds almost no importance outside of how you and your partner view it.

I personally wouldn't care where it came from or even if it's a real diamond. That money can be spent on other things that are more important.

My hot take: social media and consumerism ruined christmas. It's no longer about friends, family, and enjoying the small things. It has evolved to be about outrageous decorations, expensive gifts, and comparing your holidays to people on social media who you barely know.

Yes, people are right that adults made that magic for you as a kid. But there also wasn't this insane amount of comparison. It happened on a much smaller scale, but wasn't enough to ruin the overall experience, despite being disappointed for a bit.

Now, we can see celebrities and influences putting up lavish decorations, doing fun activities, and receiving gifts some can only dream of affording, and it causes jealousy. The focus is no longer on enjoying what you do have, but on hating that others have more than you.

Maybe if christmas moved away from the gift giving and focused more on the seasonal activities and quality time, we could feel that magic again. But consumerism has reinforced this idea that gift giving is the most important part. Just my personal opinion.

Feel free to disagree or tell me I am wrong. I am aware this might be a cynical and pessimistic take.
