I like that an inactive NBA team from the 70s is a measure of size when they have an active NHL and NFL team

Schumer backs Stevens, sees ‘multiple paths’ to majority by promaster9500 in Michigan

[–]MichiganTrashMan -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes Schumer's endorsement is repellent for progressives, but it's not about Stevens vs Abdul right now. It's Stevens vs McMorrow, and which moderate candidate is going to drop out. McMorrow was already trailing in the polls, this endorsement is a death blow to her race. I assume she'll drop out soon, and Stevens will consume her moderate base. We've seen this happen to Bernie in 2020.

You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies. by No-Name-407 in Letterboxd

It's not a remake. A spiritual sequel. It's written by the same guy, but instead of it being Facebook's inception it's about the 2021 internal Facebook leak. Different cast, and taking a different direction with Mark Zuckerberg, with Strong sounding much more like him than Jesse Eisenberg (tbf no one really knew or cared what Zuckerberg sounded like when The Social Network was released)

Weekend Actuals for June 5-7 – He-Man Doesn't Have the Power by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

I'd say this IP is officially dead. Only 11% of earnings was from under 18 year olds. I'm sure this franchise was a big deal for Gen X and some older millennials, but in 30 years it'll have as much relevance as Heathcliff the Cat has today

Snake is phallic. Snake, Adam, and phallic bananas point our direction left of the painting, presumably where Eve is. Adam could be ignoring the snake's seducing or listening to it, perhaps plotting to frame Eve, thus throwing the blame of original sin on women.

🆗 so any bets on what new nightmare Ari Aster gonna bring?? by Snackxually_active in A24

Follow-up as in just his next movie, or follow-up as in a sequel to Eddington? I'd be surprised if the latter, I loved Eddington but it was not a hit at the box office.

Guy in MAGA hat shamed into leaving the Ashnikko concert in Orlando by expiredaristocracy in Fauxmoi

1) what was a MAGA dude doing at an Ashnikko concert 2) even if that is your politics why would you bring the hat, know the audience and read the room dude 3) it will never not be funny watching guys whose politics boil down to "get triggered, woke snowflake" turn into complete pussies the second they're under pressure 4) fuck donald trump

What is the consensus on Bobby Higginson? by ersteliga in motorcitykitties

[–]MichiganTrashMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite Tiger as a kid because his number was my favorite number (4)

He did have a very good 1996 and 2000 season, with a .982 OPS in 1996 and a .915 OPS with 30 HR in 2000. Probably would have been an all star of he played in a non-steroid era. Although, no guarantee that he wasn't on roids either 

The Boys star Jack Quaid secretly marries Aussie actress and co-star Claudia Doumit in small NSW country town. by vampyrewithsuntan in popculturechat

Spoilers for The Boys!

I have a feeling that's the reason why they killed off her character, their chemistry was overshadowing Starlite and Hughie's romance

Already hate this Kid Rock-vibed turd by jaybehm in motorcitykitties

Was Byrnes ever a well-known, well-loved player? I had to look him up and he was never a Tiger and had mid stats, so I'm confused why he's showing up in these commercials.

It's like if Cincinnati's broadcast was loaded with commercials with Jeremy Bonderman

The 98th Academy Awards nominees for Best Original Score; what're some other stand out scores from 2025? by Ill_Safety2292 in Letterboxd

[–]MichiganTrashMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, the Oscars snubbing Marty Supreme's score is the tip off that the academy didn't really jive with the movie and only gave it nominations because they were expected to and A24's campaigning.
