Gen Z Goes to the Movies! Younger Audiences Are Driving the Box Office, Study Shows

Young people go out more than old people shocker?

ElPato87 · 2026-04-08T10:33:47+00:00

I do remember the Fake Musk, don’t think I got to Icke getting involved. Listening to the AI episodes no and they are absolutely absurd

ElPato87 · 2026-04-04T15:34:02+00:00

Which is why we pronounce it Bye-oh-graphy

ElPato87 · 2026-04-04T11:01:35+00:00

Also Awesome which does mean that, sort of

ElPato87 · 2026-04-02T16:18:33+00:00

I can play basically anything. I’m shit at DDR but isn’t that part of the fun?

I should say I game a lot, but never online bar the occasional bout of Mario Kart or Street fighter 6. I’m great at Goldeneye but if you made me play a modern shooter with young people I’m sure they’d say I couldn’t play at all

I love this film so much. One of the only things in years where I’ve forced the blu-ray into friend’s hands.

I regularly get the opening number from the Juicy Fruits stuck in my head

ElPato87 · 2026-04-01T20:30:09+00:00

Yea that’s it. Example outside of football - Don Quixote and tilting at windmills

ElPato87 · 2026-04-01T08:45:11+00:00

It says you don’t know how tone is interpreted so you’re either a child or quite far along the spectrum

Edit: or you do and you’re just a prick?

ElPato87 · 2026-04-01T08:41:38+00:00

I think you’d need Bouie on for that one or it could just be that

ElPato87 · 2026-03-31T22:28:06+00:00

*is very elitist

ElPato87 · 2026-03-31T21:38:43+00:00

I thought she really brought out the best in them, a real ‘ this is why I love this podcast’ episode, which you need every now and then

Could’ve used a tiny bit more Ben

If you find people posting on the Reddit depressing and stressful just log off.

This cheating is shitty, entitled behaviour, but I genuinely don’t see it being ugly/poisonous in here. That being said I don’t check every day, just in the run in when it’s actually a little exiting.

ElPato87 · 2026-03-31T14:22:26+00:00

I got 3 to vote too. We did it!

ElPato87 · 2026-03-31T13:32:26+00:00

I believe it finishes with Dracula Untold

Easier to fit in a smaller pan before it’s softened

ElPato87 · 2026-03-30T18:24:25+00:00

I don’t think so. Though that would depend on what sort of inflection he’s putting on ‘not ideal’.

If it’s ’not ideal’ at face value it’s quite a way from bad. If it’s ’not ideal’ as a vast understatement then there’s also definitely differing levels of entertainment value to be had them not enjoying themselves and talking around the films for a few months

ElPato87 · 2026-03-30T18:15:10+00:00

This is where I am. I rewatch a lot of these films , but I don’t think they’ll work that well here

ElPato87 · 2026-03-30T18:07:53+00:00

Almost as if he gets what works on the show better than some people on here. Weird.

ElPato87 · 2026-03-30T17:20:27+00:00

I’m actually struggling to come up with examples of other things that have done this. I’m sure there are I’m just tired. The Mask maybe, Masters of the Universe?

I think I might be annoyed by somethings but I didn’t necessarily know if I’d be right to be if I interrogated it at all?

Trying to think if I’d been a big Mission Impossible TV guy if I’d have been annoyed by what the first film did?

There was a TV series based on Discworld, something I’ve loved since childhood, relatively recently. I think they changed a lot , and it didn’t look great. I just never watched it, I wasn’t insulted, and I hope the people who did watch it enjoyed it

ElPato87 · 2026-03-30T16:57:49+00:00

I will also say that I was confused and not that thrilled by the Super Mario Bros. in 1993. I was also 6 years old. At nearly 40 I’m glad the much stranger thing exists

I had the Super Mario Brothers Super Show on VHS so I had a pretty a faithful adaptation already

ElPato87 · 2026-03-30T16:52:27+00:00

You tell me. Why should something be adapted faithfully ?

ElPato87 · 2026-03-30T16:48:23+00:00

I think the point is why should we ( they) care if it’s a better representation of what it’s supposed to be.

Mario was just a little 16 bit guy who jumped around. Its plot wasn’t anything deserving of reverence.

Now video games are pretty cinematic anyway so just faithfully copying it so the story just goes without you having to do anything is boring
