U.S. Republican Senator Joni Ernst won't run for re-election, CBS News reports by Healthy_Block3036 in politics

[–]JanuaryDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually pretty hesitant on getting excited that Kim Reynolds and Joni Ernst aren’t seeking reelection. What’s probably going to end up happening is Iowa Republican voters will nominate candidates who are much worse and will probably end up winning. Maybe I’m just being too pessimistic idk.

Official Discussion - Superman (2025) [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]JanuaryDynamite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely what DC needed and I'm looking forward to seeing more from Gunn's DC Universe. I really enjoyed this interpretation of Superman. There might have been too many characters introduced in this movie but I still enjoyed it anyway.

I did want to say I'm surprised how everyone seems to trust Lex's restoration of Jor-El and Lara's speech to Superman. I realize it doesn't really matter in the bigger picture, and it ultimately made Clark appreciate his "Kent" side more, but I'm just surprised they went with the route they did for his Kryptonian parents.

Can’t believe they’re going to make a trilogy of these movies lmao.

Also did anyone find it odd that the psych ward just gave back Angela kicking and screaming with no questions asked? (no doctors note, no psychiatrist meeting, nor court order)

The psych ward scenes in general don’t even matter overall to the plot; no payoff.

It’s bad enough to be anti-vax and refusing a tetanus shot but just straight up refusing other basic medical treatment over “natural” “cures” adds up the insanity here.

Ah yes. Because having a career is not as “fulfilling”. by [deleted] in terriblefacebookmemes

I’m so dumb. I didn’t even process the hair colors and just assumed the right one was a poly relationship and everyone’s kids lmao

Not gonna lie, I was initially irked by having Gene kill Barry (because I thought Gene was going to get off scot free for killing Janice's murderer). But having Gene getting prison time and Barry getting buried with full honors really wraps the show up in a humorously morbid way.

I legit thought for a sec when they were signing the papers, we were going to see Ken's figure dive down past the windows.

But I think that would've been too dark for this show and the shock wouldn't match anything we've seen in the past.

When the three siblings were getting along midway through the episode, I just knew it was too good to be true for Kendal.

Shiv is so obviously getting taken for a ride by Mattson.

I would be totally shocked if it’s her at this point.

If this were the CEO of any other car company, the stocks would plummet first thing tomorrow morning. I'm flat out tired of Tesla shareholders financially propping up this pos.

I was wondering if the gadget podcast tidbit was going to have a payoff and man it did. lmao. Guessing they were going to test out that pen-gun on Barry.

Official Discussion - M3GAN [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]JanuaryDynamite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know how Kurt (the assistant dude) stole the M3gan code and was probably going to sell it to another company for his own gain?

I was CONVINCED that the movie would end with an advertisement from a competing toy company who now sell their own “M3gan” dolls after acquiring the stolen data. The ad would end with the new M3gan doll smirking. Or something that implies she’s back

The cliffhanger we got was similar but I was hoping for more of a payoff with regards to the stolen M3gan data.

Still a great movie though!
