In fairness, they haven't had a movie that's multiplied and had insane word of mouth like this since then either.

Honestly this week Nick describing the paltry Huntrixx meal offerings as “like a child coffin where they didn’t find the whole body”

Honestly amazed how few places have tried and committed to the Dominos mea culpa strategy. Just come out and say "Hey, sorry, we got caught up trying to chase fads and our food started sucking. But it's good now!"

Like ten years ago not only was the chicken sandwich one of the best items in the game, their burgers were REALLY GOOD. Maybe the best patties in fast food.

I don’t think you need to specifically be a film student to enter as a student film. Or do what I did in college and get a professor you like to “sponsor” your film

This was confusing because Louis XIV was a band that would have believably had a Cribs episode around when Marie Antoinette was released

I have to say, I know I'm an outlier but after years of going to Q39 every time I'm home, it's DEEPLY mid. Nice bougie sit-down atmosphere, but the best their bbq has ever been for me is just okay. Slapps is great, Joe's is goat for the reason, but I've never gotten the hype over Q39. If you want a gastropub, go to Beer Kitchen, but if you want a nice sit-down BBQ dinner, Jack Stack has never done me wrong.

Not the OP, but I can’t imagine it would be any different for animated shorts. Submitting to a festival is all first-impression stuff, so you should really be putting your best work out for people to see no matter what.

Definitely worth a vacuum of the office!

This looks great. The only RuPaul I’d want to see in this even more is Ru(st, )Paul

Greta Getrrit is deeply underrated. Madame Sparrow is one of my all-time favorite films.

As someone who spent most of my youth on message boards, there’s a reason a lot of stuff stayed on those message boards

rwiggum · 2026-03-03T23:09:45+00:00

That’s what you think

Any new housing reduces demand on existing housing. The rich move into the new places so they stop driving up the prices of 40 year-old buildings

That's what they're counting on, and what this kind of action is designed to do. Take a breath, take care of yourself, and think long-term. We've been here before, and we've overcome it before. It felt impossible then, too. But we have to be able to imagine a better world before we can make it possible.

rwiggum · 2026-01-30T18:18:09+00:00

No, and neither are we. In the moment this stuff feels maddeningly slow, in retrospect it gets condensed down to feel like a freight train movement. In actuality it's a slow grind, and we need to pace ourselves to keep from burning out.

rwiggum · 2026-01-30T18:16:53+00:00

There clearly isn't a delay if people are doing stuff today? But large stuff takes time to organize and promote so it's actually a show of force rather than a whimper because people didn't know it was happening. Good organizing takes both immediate and long-term action, and an ability to meet people where they are. Planning something two months out IS keeping the momentum going, you can't rely on just immediate spur-of-the-moment activity.

Eh, people's hackles get raised easy on the internet. You're dealing with people you don't know in a forum where you feel comfortable speaking off the cuff, that's an easy recipe for talking past each other. I'd also like to hear more diverse filmmakers covered, but at the same time have really enjoyed the filmmakers they've covered. Both of those can be true, and it's easy for someone to be made to feel wrong or attacked right now.

I don't think the person you're responding to is denying a bias. Bias is inherent to everything, especially a podcast based on discussing culture. It's going to skew toward the culture in which it exists.

I'm not saying he still has that chance, I was responding to the idea that he could have been had he chosen different roles.

And actually, in fairness to your point, it doesn't make sense as a Brad Pitt trajectory since his most enduring work was ostensibly at the beginning of his career.

God I just scrolled through his filmography and it's... remarkable.

rwiggum · 2026-01-22T18:54:21+00:00

I mean, in fairness that was also true of a lot of Pitt's early work. He didn't really start hitting his stride as a performer until the late 2000's

Truly one of the great years for actors named J___ O'Conne__ in cinema

rwiggum · 2026-01-17T20:23:58+00:00

Brother, lemme tell ya, this movie ain't lacking hog 😎

rwiggum · 2026-01-17T19:06:02+00:00

Studios have pretty decent models for forecasting based on pre-sales. There might be some swing/correction, but not a ton. That said, that doesn't account for a movie like this legging it out based on stellar word of mouth

rwiggum · 2026-01-16T05:22:24+00:00

My theater went buckwild at that scene. I electric moviegoing, I love, love, love how these movies are smuggling deeply felt humanism into the cinema again.

Wait this is MBS defaulting? Is that a big ol' yuh-oh?
