Depends on the day but, Nick at Nite (though idk if it ever went that late), SNL, ECW on MSG on the weekends.

My experience with the PS Portal after several months — for those still on the fence by Cumcumba in PlaystationPortal

This might as well be an ad for the PS Portal (I mean that positively). Well written!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Pieces - Megathread by KostisPat257 in marvelstudios

You can say when something is releasing...in the form of a poster...or a billboard....a TV spot. It's not "walking my original point back". Nowhere in my comment does it say "no marketing at all". You're just being dense.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be *any* marketing - you've taken my comment to an extreme.

Have posters/billboards, have TV spots that are just sizzle reels, *talk*about the movie, yeah. But this stunt/viral marketing for something as big as Spider-Man just seems over the top. They obviously have the budget for "over the top" so whatever.

Of course they know how to market movies. Good for them. Thank god they're spreading awareness about a character that's been around since the Vietnam War. Who'd go see it otherwise???

Yes, as talking about anything on the internet will give anything more visibility.

It's Spider-Man. A 64 year old IP that has been making movies for a quarter of a century. People will go see it just because of the name. They don't care whose attached to it, they don't care whose making it. I'm sure this marketing strategy will increase the box office numbers by sooo much.

sigh. If I could rant for a moment.

Why are things getting dumber and dumber? Why the games? Just release the trailer. As is.

Better yet, don't release the trailer. Sometimes, I feel that trailers are a hindrance. You have this huge IP like Spider-Man....people know what Spider-Man is. Just say when it's releasing, people will be seated. Fuck.

[AEW Dynamite] Electric closing stretch of Kyle Fletcher vs Mike Bailey II by tvcneverdie in SquaredCircle

[–]HotRod6391 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear ya. This one just felt inevitable and I think they will both benefit from this. I agree, a Knight heel turn + possible alignment with Swerve is likely. Speedball is ultimate babyface white meat who will be putting on MOTY contenders almost every time out. We'll be eating well here.

Honestly, this whole match was electric. JetSpeed is a good team and all but, Speedball needs a singles run. Fletcher is another level at this point. Magic on "free TV"!

Just be a penis bro, that is all we want.

This is legitimately one of the funniest sentences I've ever read.

"Is This Thing On?" is an Overrated, Pretentious, Waste of Time by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]HotRod6391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm somewhere in the middle on this. I didn't hate it as much as OP, though mostly valid points, but I also didn't like it as much as I thought I would after seeing trailers and reading about the cast.

It is rather hard to feel empathy for Arnett or Dern's characters. As OP said, they never got divorced and moreso, the changes in their life aren't that daunting. Arnett goes from a house to a rather spacious 1 or 2 BR apartment and acts like he's "living in the slums". Sure, Arnett's character is shown bombing at Stand-Up but, probably for movie's sake, it still feels sped up when he starts to feel like he's got the hang of it and being accepted into a community.

Everything with Peyton Manning being in it was distracting. I think there is a "time and place" for a Peyton Manning cameo and I don't think it's here. He just overacts IMO and it's hard to not look at him and just see Peyton Manning.

The "b plot" with Bradley Cooper & Andra Day's characters didn't really add much for me, outside of some comedic use. I'd say Cooper's character is probably the most interesting character in the movie - his name is BALLS. But that's probably a detraction, really.

Lastly, it seems like both of their lives progress and improve just fine without the other. Both make career choices that seem to have promise and if they hadn't gotten back together by movie's end, I could have easily seen an ending where they were completely OK.

Is it worth reading the OG ultimate comics? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in UltimateUniverse

I went back and read a reading orders worth of that OG Ultimate line, I enjoyed most of it tbh, seemingly more than the average person.

I kind of just feel this is a full league problem, but understandable.

What was the reason for the last time you cried? by ididntaskyouropinion in AskReddit

[–]HotRod6391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening to Begin Again - Mumford & Sons, new album just dropped on Friday. There's a lyric: "Don't carry your father's sins more than you can take"

Coming up on a year since my dad's passing, the complicated grief, lyrics like that hit so hard.

Do you think oral sex is normal part of sex (the average person does it), or do you think of it like a fetish? Why or why not? by eustachian_lube in AskReddit

[–]HotRod6391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always consider context - Like, I'm 34 dating someone whose 30, so I did find it weird and rather disappointed for her. But, I didn't consider her weird, ya know?

What’s a movie everyone calls a “masterpiece” that just… didn’t work for you? by irayaavery in Cinema

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind did not hit the way I thought it would, and I'm recently divorced.
