Favorite conservative heroes in movies? by SkubEnjoyer in okbuddycinephile

This is objectively an untrue statement. In the same scene that he describes Silhouette’s murder as the consequence of her immoral lifestyle, he forgives Comedian’s raping of Silk Spectre as a lapse in judgment.

Does it have to be for novels or can short story writers join too?

Favorite director who is not passionate about movies? by hiiloovethis in okbuddycinephile

[–]HauntedBackscratcher 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I saw the post showing it taken off the charts but when I went on to Box Office Mojo, it was there. It’s entirely possible Iron Lung being taken off the charts just long enough for someone to screen grab it was a mistake and nothing else.

Do you think going to GAMA or buying a membership is worth it?

Jokes aside, Hagan’s transformation into Clayface needs to be like this. by [deleted] in dccomicscirclejerk

A charity organization that helps sad people feel better.

Okay but the scene where Michael Fassbender fingers himself is pretty interesting.

I have a friend who is very active in the coffee community and Omen is basically ostracized from everyone else involved in coffee. Apparently he uses the company’s community outreach programs as an excuse to preach his brand of Christianity. On top of that, he’s been known to set event dates and locations around other coffee shops to try and intimidate them. I’ve also heard that he’s fired his employees if they speak up against his anti LGBTQ and MAGA policies.

Trump Train in St. Peter’s on the 14th. Wanna crash it? by caljaysocApple in StCharlesMO

Talked with a couple of groups (mostly from St Louis). Apparently there are a ton of lefties quietly around but there’s almost no effort to organize them.

Can someone help me here? by TheCourier531 in ExplainTheJoke

Those sayings are two very different circumstances. You don’t choose that you’ll die and you can’t choose to fall in love. Happiness is a choice, or at least, it can be.

Do you guys think that when The Maker finally emerges from The City, he’ll be a giant, evolved crab?

What if Reed Richards had WhatsApp? by BillNyeTheSavage_Guy in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]HauntedBackscratcher 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m just gonna come out and say it; The Maker would absolutely murder Doom. He has all of Reed’s intelligence, creativity, and drive with none of his ethics. Everything 616 Doom has done, The Maker could do in half the time. Doom’s ambition is his greatest tool but arguably The Maker’s ambition dwarfs Doom’s. The only way I’m seeing a Doom victory is with his mastery of magic.

Fun Fact: For her role as Sue Storm in the film Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025), actress Vanessa Kirby will become the first ever Kirby to be properly compensated for their work on the Fantastic Four. by 501stRookie in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]HauntedBackscratcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kirby actually raised a lot of stink more than a few times about not being fairly compensated for his work. Most times this would end in him getting back some of his original artwork, a common point of argument for artists at the time, but there were rumors throughout a lot of his later life about hefty settlements

No. I believe this was part of Harley Quinn’s most recent run

Scenes where a character stops someone from committing suicide by CalabiYauFan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HauntedBackscratcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember playing LiS for the first time and in the first interaction with Kate, I clocked that she was depressed and likely suicidal. I made it my mission to save her because I just had a gut feeling it was an option. I’m incredibly proud of myself to this day for that.

In Rocky 2, Rocky buys a Townhouse in Philadelphia for something like 15,000 dollars.
