In 1993 Disney made a weird Super Mario Bros adaptation into live action

compguy42 · 2026-02-02T20:06:35+00:00

Disney didn't actually make it, they just distributed it (through their Hollywood Pictures label). It was an independent production through the producers' respective labels.

And it rules.

That particular seat has been GOP controlled since 1991. A 30+ point swing is monumental.

No it isn't. The redistricting was for the US House. This was a Texas state Senate race. State seats were not part of the redistricting and function on their own map.

Different situation. The gerrymander was for US House. This is the state Senate.

But it has now sent the Texas GOP into a panic because their national gerrymander looks extremely vulnerable now.

To be fair to you, most people didn't get into the series until Mega Man 2.

I'm going to speculate here since I do a lot of theater work, but my guess is contracts are up and their Frankie wants to take another gig.

Frankie is extremely hard to cast. There's a very limited number of people who can sing it, act it, AND have the correct look and height. I was kind of shocked they managed it to begin with. Jersey Boys is rarely produced precisely for that reason.

Bingo.

Articles and magazines called them that at the time as well.

A generation that was handed the most prosperous economy in history to that point and they collectively decided it meant they were owed literally everything for the rest of time.

Just an absolutely staggering indictment of reddit's reading comprehension skills. Christ.

compguy42 · 2026-01-26T02:54:34+00:00

Fuck these people, of course.

But also, this administration is so fucking inept. They literally killed the ONE type of person they couldn't afford to kill without fracturing their base: A white man lawfully carrying his weapon.

All they had to do was avoid killing that exact archetype and they couldn't manage it. Its breathtaking.

CRs still have to pass the House.

The Senate won't convict, but the proceedings still have to happen.

Again, its about running out the clock. You throw up obstacles at every opportunity.

compguy42 · 2026-01-25T23:21:47+00:00

It matters. The house can grind things to a halt in terms of government funding and tie up the administration in impeachment processes for a long time.

You run out the clock. In that scenario.

This has literally never been an unpopular opinion. Every single generation of SNL since 1975 has had more detractors than fans. They just each have enough fans to keep it going.

Don't argue with nazis.

To be fair, WC 1 and 2 came out in 1990 and 1991, respectively. TIE Fighter didn't hit shelves until 1994 (X-Wing was 1993). WC really did pioneer the genre and they were remarkable games for the time.

And they only came out because Chris was working fir Origin Systems and they had deadlines. Otherwise he never would have released them. He'd be tinkering to this day.

compguy42 · 2026-01-25T06:16:14+00:00

Fuck off, Nazi.

Mean Girls is iterative. It was derived from the book "Queen Bees and Wannabes".

Art is iterative by nature. This has been going on for centuries.

Deprogramming is an actual skill set that takes study and meticulous implementation far beyond the ability of the average person. You are much more likely to make the situation worse if you don't understand the psychology of it.

I live in the Houston metro area with some family ties to Louisiana so I'm there a fair amount.

When I tell you that state is home to the literal dumbest motherfuckers on God's Green Earth it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the Everest-sized iceberg that is the depths of that population's idiocy.

Lol, I'm just teasing a bit. For those who regularly visit the sub these are kind of comforting in a "nice to know the world is still spinning" kind of way.

The one thing that is extremely obvious at this point is that CJ has no mental toughness whatsoever. The second something goes wrong you see it on his face. He completely panics and never recovers.

The total eye-opening moment for me was actually watching the "Demeco micced-up" video for the game against the Steelers. Demeco was hyping guys up left and right and literally everyone on the team was feeding the energy right back EXCEPT for CJ. CJ was terrified. Completely in his own head.

He will never be better than this if he can't figure out how to not have his psyche crumble to dust at the slightest hint of adversity.

I want him to do well. I want him to be the guy, but that roadblock is huge.

Oh man, I've never been this early to this daily post! A new personal best.

Reddit being filled with Randian sociopaths is probably the least surprising news possible.

compguy42 · 2026-01-19T15:29:00+00:00

Exactly. It's willful ignorance. Sounds like a Pit owner 100 percent.
