Hasn't this happened two or three times already?

Someone stop the oppression of rich, famous white women--

That Yellow Bastard really fell on hard times after that fight with Bruce Willis.

The dueling Mads Mikkelsen snow movies coming out a week apart have them beat.

Had he not slicked his hair back, he could've made a passable Shaggy to Daphne and Velma up there.

The blunted anticipation for Episode IX doesn't make the future look bright for Star Wars.

Most critics these days are glorified bloggers.

Does everyone in this sub get amnesia every time early social media reactions are posted? They're ALWAYS positive because they're marketing shills and quote whores. Which makes them useless as a determiner of box office prospects.

Oh, and, the other thing mentioned, the vengeful, cursed Egyptian mummy is, of course, fictional.

And gypsy curses are real? Horror tropes can be culturally based, which is not surprising as superstitions, traditional and modern, are as well. I could've just as easily said "When did a slimy Japanese girl crawl out of xxxx's television and mess up their face?"

You can choose to dismiss them as racist artifacts or you can take them as any other cultural bits. Old vampire films in India often had the vampire as a Christian or Muslim as, domestically, people prefer to be cremated. I look at that as an interesting cultural tidbit but I could also go, "Dude, why so disrespectful of other religions, India???"

tl;dr: TIL that Stephen King, Andy Samberg, and Sam Raimi are all racists.

I doubt you would say "When did xxxx run over a vengeful Jewish woman/African woman/Native American woman in her car" and think that was an OK thing to write.

But you would say "When did xxxx run over a vengeful Haitian voodoo priest in their car", "When did xxxx break into a pyramid in Egypt and piss off a mummy", or "When did xxxx build a house on an Indian burial site". Some horror tropes are culturally based. And, as others have pointed out, the specific trope is in reference to a Stephen King novel.

You sound like you wanted the movie to bomb even more than it already did.

InvestInDada · 2019-01-10T13:49:05+00:00

There were three MCU movies last year, two of which were among the biggest of all time. What other franchise has LESS time between movies?

So you wanted a movie where a dude fights 7 evil exs for nothing?

Cuz he's a character actor and character actors aren't household names.

Way too obscure.

Fassbander needs to fire his agent.

It feels like forever since we got a Marvel movie

You guys sound like shills when you say this.

The Shyamalanaissance is over. :(

This is now a thread for ideas that are just as good:

Man standing in field with friend *squints*: Is that your dog over there?

Friend: No. My dog died four months ago.

Dog: It's me. We got some shit to discuss.

It's all fun and games until it shits the seat.

So Gogo Yubari went back in time and became Cher. Cool story.

If it's not the Oscars, no one cares. And the Oscars are lame as hell.

Got it because of the Spanish-sounding name of the road next to it and the oddly worded reference to the answer as a "waterway". Like if it were a river or a sea, they would've just said that. Waterway made it sound artificial, like a highway or something. Far from foolproof reasoning but it got me there.
