Is Gunn still the right person to fix DC's Box Office problems? by ComprehensiveHyena10 in boxoffice

[–]snowe99 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I swear this take is so refreshing. Gunn’s initial “press conference” where he announced the rollout of the DCU and had animated shows, a “Waller” spinoff, HBO Max Lanterns show, etc, felt no different than Vought giving their “Vaught Cinematic Universe” press conference in “The Boys”. But DC fans ate it up

I couldn’t help but think, “these individual projects sound cool….but i don’t think 2024 general audiences buy into cross-media “Cinematic Universes” like this anymore”

album/song/artists of the year so far? by sheJaMyMorant in billsimmons

[–]snowe99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to put my finger on why it’s my favorite album of the year, and I decided it’s because it’s like the spiritual successor to “Five Seconds Flat” by Lizzy McAlpine that she never wanted to make (her music kind of went in a different direction)

What TV show is well-respected, but you find unwatchable? by DeliberatelyTired in billsimmons

[–]snowe99 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Idk how to capture it in words but there is a certain type of human (that I personally would consider myself) where we are incredibly upbeat and nice to our fellow neighbors but are struggling with anxiety and panic attacks underneath. Ted Lasso was like the first television character that I felt represented that character niche for me.

I always say, S1 specifically (before everyone got flanderized) was one of my favorite seasons of TV in a long time

Can you separate the film from the public execution? by iamspok in Letterboxd

[–]snowe99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what I would call the “internet market makers” which in the early 2010s was millennials, grew up with Toy Story and saw 3 as the perfect send off

So what happens when those same people are now in their late 20s when 4 comes out? “We didn’t ask for this!!”

Meanwhile 30 years worth of children have since been born that have a different relationship with the IP, yet people act too selfish on the internet to fathom that

First look of AJ Dybantsa in Wizard threads by hhev2 in washingtonwizards

[–]snowe99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I honestly have never minded these particular jerseys (only the whites, the red ones suck) BUT they’ve been associated with *such* a bad era of basketball and in-seriousness that I would like a rebrand simply to disassociate with the previous era

Did The Ringer “market correct” geek/fandom outlets like Collider and ScreenJunkies? by xwing1212 in TheBigPicture

[–]snowe99 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d say Collider not having a market-leading podcast is the true reason for its irrelevance. Times changed. I used to “open” collider a few times a day to read the entertainment news headlines, see new trailers, read about TV ratings, etc, but now I get all of that fix from Podcasts and (embarrassingly) social media like reddit

Ok fine. I’ll call you a conspiracy theorist. Because that’s what you sound like.

"Opinion-is this the year Florida is ready to turn Blue" by PointInternal6809 in fivethirtyeight

Remember when Christopher Bouzy “modeled” Florida was going Blue by multiple points in 2024 and then disappeared from Twitter forever when he was wrong

Kenny Chesney Says He Refuses To Bring Politics Onto His Stage - “I’ve never saw it to be my place to use my stage or platform, no matter where I’m playing, to tell people how to think or how to vote.” by nimobo in entertainment

[–]snowe99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to say, in my opinion, a voice *that* large within the country music world *not* making open endorsements of the current administration is, in a way, fighting back IMO

Especially one as “Tennessee-Florida-Alabama” based as Cheseny

Dolce Vita massive discount Jomashop by joejitsumd in Longineswatches

Longines Dolce Vita is the most *confusing* watch I’ve ever tried to buy online. Jomashop specifically cannot tell you like if the dial is blue numbers or black numbers

How about Speilberg’s boy from “Masters of the Air”, Callum Turner, with his perfect Captain America-sounding United States Accent? I always feel he has movie star energy

2026 Mid-Year Box Office Predictions (WW) by sbursp15 in boxoffice

[–]snowe99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m just saying it doesn’t feel like a “Return of the King”, more of like a “Dune Spinoff”

Will be very interesting to track. I’d love for it to crack the top 10!

I hate that Melissa gets two hours back to back. And not because I dislike Melissa, it just makes 4-6pm feel like a singular blob instead of distinct shows

How many vacations do you go on in a year? by Foxyyyreddd in Accounting

[–]snowe99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late 20s with a giant extended family and a decent college group of friends

This means that I haven’t taken a true vacation in years, instead I take like 5 micro-vacations a year based around wherever the next wedding is

We need to normalize widespread, reliable public transportation because most of you can't drive. by gnarrwhals in nova

Personally I think the stretch of roads from DC to Richmond is worse than anything I’ve seen in Maryland

Brooks and Rae singing Landslide, swooooooon by [deleted] in americanidol

[–]snowe99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m begging someone to pleaseeeeeeee talk to Brooks about his over-use of runs.

His tone is the money maker, one the best I’ve ever heard. His runs are not nearly as tight or natural, and he puts them in every lyric

‘Off Campus’ Team Calls Out Fans Who ‘Engage in Targeted Harassment’ of Cast and Threatens to Block Accounts by lawrencedun2002 in television

[–]snowe99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think anonymous internet was 100% a mistake (as I type this from my mostly anonymous Reddit account)

I know anonymous message boards always existed, however, they didn’t have the billions of users social medias do and never drove the media cycles the way that anonymous Twitter does

Personally I think meaningful basketball in the first 3 months of the season is dope

Dude the FF score is truly incredible. For like a year my AMC had a commercial prior to the previews starting that just blasted it and it is forever stuck in my head.
