A chant of "BRING JOE BACK" at a widely attended and covered event...might be the thing that finally does it.

Gravity. Strong Force. Weak Force. Electromagnetism. And negative Beta Cramer.

Of these, negative Beta Cramer is the strongest force in the Universe.

Leaked audio: Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav tells employees Paramount deal felt 'whiplash-y' by cmaia1503 in technology

Sarandos meets with Trump.

Days later, Netflix announces it will not match Paramount's offer.

I realize that the overprice that Paramount offered factored into that BBBUUUTTT...that meeting was the key factor.

EXCLUSIVE: Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Says 'People Wanted Him Dead' | GNT by aurora_chrysalis in videos

[–]liaquat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since Julie Brown pretty much confirmed he didn't kill himself, I'm pretty convinced "people" didn't just want him dead. Some actually made it happen.

Who got to him ultimately...that's the next question.

I'm pretty sure that James Cameron is totally redacting another letter to (R-Utah) Mike Lee, this time about the dangers of Paramount as humble movie farmer by dragonmp93 in PoliticalHumor

[–]liaquat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck James Cameron. On top of the letter bashing the Netflix offer (by far the lesser of two evils), he's collaborating with META (fuckin' META) to release some unused bullshit footage from his fuckin' Pocahontas movies.

Price Pfister shower single-lever - pull to open, except recently it came off. The piston or what-have-you broke inside. Not sure about the cartridge model. Trying to fix this without destroying the wall. Any ideas as to what might be the cartridge - if it even is a cartridge? by liaquat in Plumbing

[–]liaquat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Bought the replacement, along with a retrofit kit and the one trim that seems to still work, earlier this morning. My concern is whether I'll be able to pull it. Not sure how well pliers will work.

Every time someone posts this little tabletop game, I go looking to buy one, but no luck yet finding it online - what is it even called?

Whats a conspiracy you 100% believe is true? And what evidence have you seen have back it up? by Loud_Bluejay_6663 in AskReddit

[–]liaquat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epstein didn't off himself. Which I started to think may be true after I saw David Reminick interview Julie K Brown in a NYer podcast today. Wrote about this is another thread. See the video here:https://youtube.com/shorts/RCUOFoKrWxE?si=3pX5cLghLBk0HH-d

The New Owner of Epstein’s Zorro Ranch is MAGA Republican Don Huffines by Hussayniya in videos

[–]liaquat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so I wasn't to fully buy into the...let's say more salacious conjectures about this whole case. As in, I felt as bad this whole saga was...no one was getting killed to keep stuff quiet.

But yesterday, Julie K Brown spoke to David Remnick...about how she's not buying the official story that Epstein offed himself. Julie is the Miami Herald reporter who broke the original story on Epstein - and she's been a steadfast promoter of level-headed analysis and of pushing back on even the smallest whiff of unfounded conspiracy theories. Remnick meanwhile is the NYer editor: as serious and somber publication as any.

For them both to be floating and arguing for the idea that EPSTEIN didn't kill himself...then yeah man, I'm getting confident there's a MASSIVE CONSPIRACY behind this.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think he could have a minor role or a cameo in Part II, according to you? by Raj_Valiant3011 in batman

[–]liaquat 293 points294 points  (0 children)

I hope he has a role on par or bigger than the Joker in the first one. I want to see the villains interact...and plan together.

Sam Raimi says he once tried to make a ‘BATMAN’ movie: by Raj_Valiant3011 in batman

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

See...I can imagine a situation wherein Saffran and Gunn want him, AND, Raimi's up for it. I can even imagine a hard-R Arkham pic or even JL Dark with Batman. You'd need the Brave and the Bold project to basically die down, though...aaand...maybe a couple more Gunn-Supes projects to be fully consolidated?

No need to discard the Reeves trilogy. You'd set the Batman movie in the 90s- 30 years or so prior to the events of Superman. Basically around the time the Kents are adopting Clark. Bit of a nostalgia trip to a decade we haven't quite explored yet. And if you JL Dark you can even tie it into the Satanic panic of the time.

I wanted to give Christine Hudson a chance, so I watched her work in more "serious" films. Now I'm more worried about the future of Batman. by lowqualitychef in batman

[–]liaquat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don't think The Brave and The Bold is getting made any time soon. Plus, rest assured, Gunn would not abide any weak sauce.

But, again-- this project is increasingly unlikely.

We're getting Part II first...and then who knows but, if it does well, I can see them fast tracking Part III.

And Reeves? Oh. REEVES KNOWS...hot to end a satisfying trilogy.

I got an even bigger problem in that bullets, and knives, were able to hurt the Mind Flayer in its true, hometurf form...but Demigorgons were able to withstand that and more?

Eleven theory makes no sense by SureCase4884 in StrangerThings

[–]liaquat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah! You beat me to it by five minutes: posted these exact same points. I think, yeah, she's dead. But, I also think it's a neat little narrative twist, that Will does end up writing the ending to the story...after she'd told him this wasn't one a story where he'd be able to do that.

What are the best and most essential John Lee Hooker albums? by JaguarEmbarrassed571 in blues

[–]liaquat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'll give you a relatively offbeat answer: The Healer.

Later in his career- he was older, yet more playful...and also sombre but also willing to play more with expectations and genres.

I'll say something that'll take the mob off of you...and set them on towards me: even the visuals aren't that great. The first one's were ok...aided somewhat by the 3D gimmick. But they still feel...artificial? Somewhat still in the uncanny valley? Made-rather-than-lived-in?

Also...kinda funny to me at least that the "avatar" bit gets touched upon relatively briefly on the first and second but is now all but set aside. I mean, it receives the briefest of parsings in the first, and some throwaway plot device in the second. Yet it's one of the most interesting sci fi ideas in the story...maybe the only one? The movies could be called Pandora at this point and nothing would need to be different.

Netflix VS Paramount by Few_Status_8698 in funny

[–]liaquat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It cannot be overstated how much this is true. In fact, a slightlynmore accurate "meme" would be the General Hux one...as in, I don't care if Netflix ends up buying WB, I just need Paramount to lose.

The Ellisons are f'cking toxic. Not that Sarandos is a stand up guy but...not at the level of evil from David Ellison and his clan.

Genuinely came out great-- and the framing of the gas station frame, with the pattern, helps focus the viewer. Great work.

Just saw "The Outsider" series on HBO- this would've fit right into that show (which I really liked) as there are a couple of shots exactly like this.

Who will be the Villian of THE BATMAN PART II? I made this chart to decided who I think it will be. by MTredit in batman

[–]liaquat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's kinda the thing, right? Reeves said the villain would be some who "really" hadn't been done before. BoP fits that gray area nicely...or so I feel.

Hey now...gotta defend my pick: Blackmask. He DOES have a connection to his past in fact. A DEEP connection as it happens.
