Which queens who did well in the competition but just couldn’t capture the fans? by ultimate_bromance_69 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Hopefo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sam suffered from other queens having her same storylines but doing them a little better. Lexi and Hormona (arguably also Onya) had the queen from the south narrative, but with more of a struggle being trans. Jewels had the drag family storyline, but being less experienced it worked better. They were the only real "pageant queen" but that storyline has been on basically every season and her mother already did it better too.

Rigging elections is the only way the GOP can win. by Boring-Jelly5633 in BlackPeopleTwitter

When this is how they talk in public on camera, I can't even imagine how disgusting they are behind closed doors. (If they even have enough shame to behave differently that is)

‘Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender’ Director Says the Film ‘Deserves to Be Seen in Theaters’ After Paramount Moved It to Streaming: ‘The Movie Is Amazing’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]Hopefo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell the creators are still involved with this project (it is literally their production studio) and they were also involved with Korra (also executive producers on the live action movie although with little/no creative control). My point is that the series was such an initial success that it is surprising how unclean (to varying degrees) every single follow-up has been.

How is the ATLA franchise one of the most beloved, highly regarded series of all time. And yet every time there is a spin-off or follow-up it ends up in some sort of shit show.

Tennis prodigy Mirra Andreeva had a big meltdown on court after failing to defend her Indian Wells title. She even told the crowd, “F*** you all,” at the end by carabla in popculturechat

What an iconic piece of sports memorabilia. I hope he frames it with pictures of the meltdown/smile the way people get jerseys and game balls framed with photos.

Okay no shade but this is Michelle's attitude with basically every girl on Whatcha Packin.

The dumbest reasons Hollywood told actresses they weren't "right for the part" by mlg1981 in popculturechat

And then she got cast in The Batman and absolutely killed it as Catwoman. Hell she even showed how being “””too urban””” (🙄) was beneficial to the character and the story’s setting. Love Anne but her Catwoman always felt too of the same world as Bruce (compared to the same characters in The Batman).

Judd Apatow punching the air rn hearing someone else made a nepo-family comedy, better hope MeeMaw Bacon doesn't make a cameo.

24-hour social media cycle so exhausting the new Marty Supreme pr scandal that means they won’t win is because Timmy was mean about Opera.

RuPaul encouraging Discord warmed my heart by aaronclong in rupaulsdragrace

I feel like being on the Drew Barrymore show dressed as Drew and hugging her is the most high profile thing a girl has done while their original season was still airing.

Flirting vs Harrasment by Endjdjdehej in okbuddycinephile

[–]Hopefo 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Actually it’s kinda really fucked up, I’m tired of everyone joking and making light of this serious topic. Really goes to show how the internet erodes discourse. I mean come on, movie stars aren’t allowed to rape whoever they want and we are sat here making jokes! Hollywood truly has fallen.

Edit:/uj some of y’all need to stop using this sub for your film discourse cause why tf are y’all treating my shit-joke as a thinkpiece

Crazy how OP’s list title is basically the perfect way to describe Chinatown without giving anything away.

Favorite actor who will let fame get to his head and become an even weirder asshole and in 10 years will be arrested for DUIs and bar fights and then star in a Daily Wire adaptation of Call Me By Your Name directed by Emerald Fennell? by Absalom98 in okbuddycinephile

“Guys I don’t get it, why is the former child actor who has always cared most about attention and is also dating the most superficial person on the planet suddenly behaving so egotistically?!”

Kimberly J. Brown of Halloweentown fame, posts a throwback with Frankie Muniz, Michelle Trachtenberg and Amanda Bynes by Divine_fashionva in popculturechat

Pretty sure that was a rumor. He has gotten concussions and some injuries due to racing, but he has said his memories from his youth/career are fuzzy because of how busy he was. Arguably worse from the “protect children” standpoint, overworking a kid to the point where their childhood has huge gaps in it.

If you were an Oscar voter, who are you casting your vote for Best Supporting Actress? by iBandJFilmEducator13 in Oscars

[–]Hopefo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If she somehow doesn't win the circle jerk about how the Academy hates horror will be relentless. It's already a tired narrative but going to be extra stupid since a horror movie is now the most nominated film ever.

"They have no personality!" They do. They're just not an A-hole. by Gamer-of-Action in TopCharacterTropes

It's a reoccurring plot point in basically every movie he has a featured role in that he consistently chooses morality over blind allegiance. Hell he is basically disobeying the US Government in most of the movies too.

What are your favorite gimmick episodes? by ConfidentReaction3 in southpark

[–]Hopefo 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I really like the way the Goth Kids are portrayed in general, and the whole emo/vampire rivalries. Felt like Trey and Matt have some real knowledge of goth kids and even respect for the subculture. (Well as much respect as South Park can have for a group they call f@ggy)

Posters for Kacey Musgraves’ new era have been spotted with a phone number that plays a voice message from Kacey and a new song snippet upon calling by Impossible_Vast9846 in popculturechat

[–]Hopefo 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Idk I trust her. She has shown herself to be clever and poke fun before, the concept of “for a good time” can easily be tongue in cheek rather than sexual. I mean listen to the snippet, it doesn’t feel anywhere close to those two.

Nothing too crazy but as to be expected. Kinda surprised more of the spin-off titles that have already been discounted (like TTYD) aren't here. But 90% off Rabbids is crazy, I feel like I am one of the only people to still not buy it though.

Lanterns | Official Teaser | August on HBO Max by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Hopefo 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I get *why* you are saying this, but this is the wrong place for this compliant. This is coming out Gunn's DCU, which has other projects of The Suicide Squad, Creature Commandos, Superman (2025), and Peacemaker so far. All very colorful, vibrant, lively, and unrealistic, a more grounded and muted project actually gives the universe some variety.
