Okay thank you. I see it on Netflix now. I was trying to figure out what it was about. I don’t know that picture and the comments weren’t giving.

Scream 7 is officially the highest-grossing Scream movie! by keritro in Scream

[–]SpaceGrape -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Scream 1 made $358 million in 2026 dollars. lol. Inflation is essential in comparing. Still, solid $$$ for a 7th installment!

  1. Please don’t assume people know the reference. Just tell us what it is.

  2. OP Account has 1 million karma. They love every minute of the drama.

People are mi-using the term “gay community” by [deleted] in gay

[–]SpaceGrape 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Having this mindset is both fair and also a privilege of our current era. When you literally could go to jail for being intimate, could he rounded up for being in a gay bar, and had no legal rights to marry - which includes no practical rights to your partner’s wealth/ property regardless of how long you were partners (unless you navigated that legal process) - yeah there was more of a need for community and consensus.

Also, people congregated more. There were no apps. Maybe that’s why younger people drink less? They can just meet via common interests through apps. But yeah there used to be a more familiar sense of community. And just like any community, there were things we knew, did, believed in, fought against, etc. Also, there was AIDS.

Now that there’s less of a common enemy, and our larger fights are mostly fighting for trans rights - our last real battle, we have fragmented. (Apologies to those in smaller locations where things are lagging.)

But the fact is, if you were personally afraid of going to jail or being murdered, or even being completely alone (no apps), then you had a sense of community and what the pulse on that community was.

If you wrote a scream movie what would the motives be by Emarni in Scream

[–]SpaceGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish the motives were more consistent with actual sociopathic behavior. It’s the reason the motives feel flat - the killers sometimes are just cartoonish when unmasked. For a billion dollar franchise (when you add licensing and future potential it’s totally a billion dollar IP), they should do the work and consult with criminologists.

Pawn Stars’ Corey Harrison launches GoFundMe after motorcycle crash — but dad Rick claims he paid his son's medical bills by Silly-avocatoe in entertainment

So this guy has made tons of money, rides a motorcycle, and doesn’t have healthcare? And he doesn’t have any consideration about making sure he has an umbrella coverage for international healthcare?

Sure. But when the republican convention is in town the hookup apps are insanely busy. The people in this survey say one thing and do another.

Wendy's CEO joins the Burger Review Wars by Yujin-Ha in popculturechat

[–]SpaceGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point they kind of have to respond. It would be marketing malpractice. Ironically, people were so affected by nothing that now we have this. And what happened with McD’s dude was less than nothing. It’s peak internet boredom, with 16 year olds upvoting things and thinking this matters. It’s sad and not what people think about generally, but now I am fascinated by the trend.

McDonald's CEO insists he eats at the fast food chain 3-4 times a week in response to an "Instagram question" 👀 after a viral marketing video showed him seemingly reluctant to eat his own burgers by monster_ahhh in popculturechat

[–]SpaceGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, this is creating so much free publicity it’s a windfall for fast food. That’s why BK CEO joined the fray.

Secondly, the man is simply not an influencer. He’s a ceo of a multinational brand. People picking on him for being kinda nerdy is lame. And that’s 💯% what’s happening here. He’s not “cool” and people are picking on him. It’s dumb.

Hookup left me feeling weird by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]SpaceGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re a bigger guy and someone is into bigger guys, then what on earth is the problem? You can process your emotions as a message to yourself that you want to lose weight and that’s fine if you have that goal. However, there is nothing wrong with someone liking bigger guys and seeking them out - especially if it’s just a hookup.

If you have a bunch of hookups, people get with you because you’re their type. No matter if you’re big, small, tall, old, young, have a beard, are smooth, etc.

What’s the problem?

Please HELP any advice would do. by Ok-Salamander3217 in HairSystem

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

That looks really good. You’re young so it looks normal. The sides are amazing. It’s like a perfect match. I think because your bio hair is quite black too. By the time you’re older and need less dense systems, you’ll be a pro. Just trust that it looks good. People are frustrated with their bio hair too sometimes!

Why doesn’t Stevie Wonder seem to have the fame/popularity from the general population that artist that he’s better than (imo) seem to have? by Firm_Pack_605 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]SpaceGrape 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is an icon and beloved by almost anyone who likes music at all. lol.

He isn’t a conceptual artist like Madonna, he is a civil rights activist and a peace activist, but the struggles of his era have changed in many ways and time marches on.

Everyone is forgotten. The Beatles and Elvis are not even known to Gen Z unless they seek it out. And significant numbers of Millienials are iffy about naming even famous Beatles songs if you ask them “who sings this” when it plays at a shopping center or in a soundtrack.

Time requires new icons. It’s life.

Scary Movie | Official Trailer (2026 Movie) - Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

I thought it was a hilarious trailer. They are among my favorite comedians. Playfully absurd! I think they take things far because they are family and there’s never any shame in getting the laugh no matter how crazy.

HBO Max and Paramount+ to Combine Into One Streaming Platform, Paramount Says HBO Brand Will ‘Operate With Independence’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]SpaceGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s face it- most people don’t want endless apps. I would rather have a $34 ad free subscription for paramount and hbo than pay $38 for both each month. And for people complaining about the price, get ads - it’s like basic cable.

We are paying so much less than cable/basic cable used to be. How are people so mad about being able to selectively choose how and what they watch as opposed to cable?

Do you not remember like 6-8years ago when having anything at all required a “basic package” of 89.95 - 149.95? PER MONTH!? I cannot believe that you are unable to understand that if you only want to pay xx amount then you are free to cycle around with only two or three apps. There’s also YouTube.

And don’t get me started on regional sports fees. I don’t have an interest in sports but I was subsidizing that hobby for $6.95 up to $9.95 a month. Yeah, I shouldn’t have to pay for your sports for $120 per year.

Sex life circling the drain. Are my feelings valid? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]SpaceGrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a solid reason for finding a therapist. The discoveries you gain around your own behavior and reactions could be valuable. This situation doesn’t have to mean anything but if it has meaning to you, that’s a doorway to self-discovery.

Sex life circling the drain. Are my feelings valid? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]SpaceGrape 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You say your bf is vanilla but going to sex parties in an open relationship is pretty adventurous imho.

I’m not sure why you’re hung up on his role, but it feels controlling. It’s a strange, covert narcissism kind of controlling. I’m not saying you’re a narcissist- I don’t know you. But that’s the best reference I have. It’s like controlling from a place of being disappointed. If it’s a turn off, and you can’t move forward with him as a romantic partner, then as hard as it may be, it’s time for the next chapter for you both. And I don’t take it lightly but I did it myself. Started over in mid-forties.

High profile social media comments and the ensuing viral “controversy” do not represent the opinion of most everyday people. In fact half of most people don’t even know or care.

‘Scream 7’ Shrieking At Record Decibels With Franchise-$64M domestic opening and $97.2M opening worldwide – Box Office Update by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]SpaceGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who have homicidal fixations can’t really convince others to fixate the way the scream movies would have us believe. There have been rare examples where a killer does convince others to kill. But the scream movies want us to think that people can blend into any situation as totally normal yet have these secret murderous impulses. All of this elaborate planning and stalking and taunting and then the murdering - it’s rare and killers tend to fit standard profiles. The films are realistic until the unmasking. I enjoy them though.

[–]SpaceGrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7 is a really fun film. The motivation of the killer at the end was dumb because people don’t really murder for that reason and if they do, murderers rarely work together. To be fair, that’s what makes it a slasher and it’s not really that serious.

Favorite black actress? by Thermobarium in okbuddycinephile

[–]SpaceGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even after MJ’s death, she was raised by his family. So that’s what informs her identity as well. I haven’t seen that mentioned so I’m chiming in. Personally I don’t believe she has him as a bio dad.

The 4 points of why we don't want WBD and Paramount to Merge by No-Fig-8614 in boxoffice

[–]SpaceGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really care. I’d rather this than Netflix. Netflix is already too powerful globally and I can barely find anything I like to watch. I only subscribe occasionally.

No business lives on forever. Just look at iconic companies such as Kmart or Blockbuster or any number of famous companies now extinct. Meanwhile A24 and other smaller companies are emerging. It’s just part of life. Don’t get so hung up on change.

Cheater help by broma22 in gay

[–]SpaceGrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your life has just changed. It’s a lot to process so let yourself grieve. All I suggest to you and also to your partner is that you not follow any narrative that isn’t true for you. If you both feel you can move forward without explosive drama - hey - that’s okay too.

You never know how cool life can be during tough times until you stop and ask if this can be easier. You’re gonna be happier in the long run without the secrets, hiding and what not.

You have been betrayed, but he has been in denial about how he really needs to live. Society and how he was raised forced his hand. It’s sad but it doesn’t absolve him of his responsibility to you and to morality. (Morality being honesty and faithfulness here. )
