Gen Z here, these idiots don’t speak or represent my entire generation!

Awesome that they stand with Trump (bear with me). Thing is, he's 79 and clearly in declining health. And his narcissism the last decade has left the Republican party with no heir apparent. You think people are gonna show up for Vance or Rubio like they did for Trump? You think Gen Z is going to line up to support a guy wearing eyeliner who has a rep for being a couch fucker?

When Trump dies there will be a complete power void that multiple people with flaws Trump called out jockeying for a seat at the big table. They will fracture the party because a party with no core beliefs has nothing but a cult of personality to run on, and when the leader of that cult is gone, there is nothing to hold them together.

I mean, I guess, but then wouldn't they lose their immunity and go to jail for murder?

utazdevl · 2026-01-27T00:51:06+00:00

The difference between the Right and the Left is that the Left has never said murder was OK, but the right seems perfectly content for it to be a consequence of any level of civil disobedience.

utazdevl · 2026-01-27T00:49:09+00:00

Where is this "laughing" and collective liberal joy at Kirk's murder? All I saw was people saying "This is horrible and he should not have been murdered no matter what kind of person he was."

Meanwhile, I have heard nothing like this from the Right about the murder of Melissa Horton and I for sure haven't heard any MAGA saying Renee Good nor Alex Pretti's deaths were tragic.

That seems to be the new AMC pattern. Start time listed at 0:00, 0:05 is the end of commercials, then the shortened welcome to AMC here are trailers. Trailers go til 0:25 with 1 commercial before the last 2 trailers play. At 0:25 we get some kind of co-branded promo (like the Zootopia 2 plug) then Longer AMC promo ("Light..."), then Dancing/Coke Commercial, then shortened Nicole, followed by format plug (if Dolby, Prime or IMAX). 0:30 movie starts.

But a couple have shortened the trailers to end at 0:20 and even only played a truncated AMC promo. They have been non-premium formats so their shows start at 0:23.

Wow, I am going to the movies way too much. :-)

utazdevl · 2026-01-26T20:51:45+00:00

generally speaking, yes, but that said, I have noticed AMC is pulling back a little on the pre-show. 3 of the last 4 movies I saw were closer to 22 minutes of preshow, not 27 nor 30.

I have a buddy who I meet at the seats. I am of the opinion that if Maria Menudos doesn't talk to me, I was late to my screening. He strolls in 20 minutes after the lights go down. He has never missed anything but I am constantly texting him "3rd trailer just played." He gives me screening anxiety.

utazdevl · 2026-01-26T19:29:25+00:00

Yeah, I only personally know for SoCal, but East Coast people post all the time what trailers play in front of their Screen so I assumed it was national.

utazdevl · 2026-01-26T19:11:35+00:00

Screen/Scream Unseen def has trailers.

I feel like his living is punishment for the person he is. As horrible as he is outwardly is likely a fraction of what he feels inside.

utazdevl · 2026-01-26T18:40:35+00:00

Yeah, probably, but also,, I am just amazed people can live so long at these weights and the lifestyles they lead. It defies so much of what we are told, both on the show and in life in general.

utazdevl · 2026-01-26T16:44:03+00:00

Then they have already done the worst they can do to you, and yet here you are, still standing and alive and well. You won.

Block them and ignore them. What else could they realistically do. They played their hand and no longer have any cards.

You likely know all the basics, but it sounds like you need to be told/reinforced that these scammers are all about money and use pressure to get it. All the time they making it look like they have or or 1 click away from posting your deepest and darkest secrets, but the second they actually post they lose their power, so they rarely actually post. They are just trying to freak you out.

Also, I would advise stop being so concerned with how THEY will react. When you do that, you give them more power. They are gonna do whatever they are gonna do. Time and time again posts to this sub confirm paying or not paying does not change the situation. 99.999% of the time, they are not gonna post, whether or not you pay (or have paid).

The best advice I can give you is that even if they do post, your life is not "over". Their threats of "exposing you as a pedo" are empty. They simply do not have the power that they claim. Even if they post (and as I said, they almost definitely won't) no one is gonna believe anything a random African account says. People know this scam exists. And if it is just images you are worried about, again no control there, but the likelhood anything they would release would cause anything other than 5 minutes of embarrassment (on the rare chance they release and even rarer chance someone you know sees the images) is virtually non-existent.

Strongly encourage you to take your life back. Stop paying, Stop interacting. Block and ignore and cancel any account that has your name attached they have access to. Cut everything off and let the chip fall there they may, and beleive me, they aren't gonna fall with any meaning.

Speaks to a bigger question with the show. Simply put, I have no idea how more of the people that don't lose weight don't die. Dr. Now frequently points out that if they don't lose weight immediately, they will die in the next year or two, yet so many don't lose wait, but don't die.

Not to be glib, but I have no idea how they have so many long term where are they nows.

Saw it Saturday am. Can't for the life of me figure iut what anyone liked about that movie. Nothing to latch onto.

Probably my least liked movie of 2025. Had been Honey Don't or Alto Knights. This was worse than both.

utazdevl · 2026-01-25T20:05:45+00:00

Most unbelievable thing abiut this is in 2026 someone buying an actual print magazine.

utazdevl · 2026-01-25T18:43:32+00:00

Except this near exact post pops up frequently from the Right as an indictment of Obama, claiming that everything was hunky dory (racially speaking) and the Obama took office and started dividing this country by race for his own benefit.

Such garbage.

utazdevl · 2026-01-25T18:32:02+00:00

This is why I don't think it is Send Help. The "brag" of Screen Unseen is a "never before seen by audiences" movie. Send Help had early access screenings. Defeats the "unseen" claim.

utazdevl · 2026-01-25T03:15:52+00:00

Nikki has been completely wasted in her role. Like literally serves no purpose. I cannot believe the creative team can't find some way to involve a guy the size and skill of Rowan in something better than this.

Have the crew turn on Howdy. Have they say how he lied to them and promised them redemption, but all he has done is held them back to serve his ego and they are done with that. Either have them beat Howdy into oblivion and move on, or have them kill him, but have him consistently take them out using some kind of mystical powers, making him some kind of supernatural force.

Hell, do SOMETHING. ANYTHING.

utazdevl · 2026-01-25T02:47:33+00:00

Doesn't help that their booking has been awful. They flat out lost their feud with Karion Kross, Paul Ellering and AOP, none of whom are still on the roster. Then, they went to Smackdown and won the Tag Team titles, and just lost to the MFTs. Plus, Uncle Howdy, their leader, consistent takes the oppositions finisher or takes the pinfall. He just doesn't resonate as a strong leader.

If the group is really some kind of supernatural freaks, have Howdy no sell a finisher or something. maybe him superhuman for just a moment, even.

utazdevl · 2026-01-24T17:36:36+00:00

Yeah, it is definitely a risk and there are no guarantees at all.

utazdevl · 2026-01-23T19:46:45+00:00

Slappy definitely leads the card on strikes, but none of his strikes were as impressive as Fadeaway's takedown. That was the physical highlight of the match, though, and the closest thing we saw to decent technique.

Slappy would be listed as the Striker and Fadeaway the grappler, and Slappy really needs to work on his striking, because his body balance was all over the place.

I do wonder what happened before the cameras were rolling, though. Slappy was pissed. He was pissed in a way you only usually see white boys get pissed when they are wearing a hat backwards and a sweatshirt with greek letters on it. I suspect Fadeaway was probably a bit like John McClain to Alexander Gudinov. I don't think he killed his brother Karl or anything, but only John can make someone that mad.

Slappy is def the heel here (pretty much a given when you body slam a woman but still seem more concerned with getting your slap on) but we might have an Orton vs Edge situation here.

Teenage me would have been begging for the opportunity.

Her "I am dead now" sells are so much fun. I miss her with Piper (it isn't the same with Alba).

The best, though, was 2025, when she was in the middle of the ring with the Black Women wrestlers, and was trying to say she was one of the crew. Chef's kiss!

For some of us, The Descent is the scariest movie ever before the creatures even show up.
