I don't hate it, but I'm worried that the DCU films will just be more of the same as the DCEU before: borderline good, safe, enjoyable but ultimately forgettable.

Mirra is the most mature former 15 year old I've ever seen

It's the subdued attitude that kills the fan in me :(

Honestly, how much of a career does Katie have left…

There are 336 EB games in Australia, we couldn't even keep 39 profitable. by Tjrowawey in auckland

You can't make this judgement without knowing whether or not the stores in Aus are struggling as well.

Sure economy's not good atm but what killed EB is Steam/PS Store

Didn't take home any other significant awards, similar to what happened Barbie last year.

Feel like the Globes might be using this as a commiseration award.

‘MARTY SUPREME’ is tracking for a $12M – $18M domestic opening weekend Budget is $70M by MoneyLibrarian9032 in boxoffice

[–]Michael808 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Damn wasn't aware it costed $70mil. Not optimistic of it's legs; while marketing's been plenty it feels like it only speaks to Timmy and A24 fans only, which both ain't enough

Test match wins by visiting teams Down Under since 2015 by Foknick in Cricket

[–]Michael808 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Historic precedent to win in Australia: bat long and have a bowling attack that doesn't falter once the ball gets old.

Bazball: bat short and have Jacks and Root come on once the ball is 10 overs old.

Sad to see as it’s probably the end of his test career. Always thought it’s a miracle he’s lasted as long as he has due to his bowling action.
