  1. Re:Disney’s tough time. Who knows if that motivation is real or not but I think they were referring to 2023 Disney bombs. They (publicly) said Moana 2 would be big screen Feb 2024. So the guess was it was a reaction to earlier bombs and 2023 was a rough year for Disney. https://m.imdb.com/news/ni64568982/
  2. they have actual resources so you can't have weimar republic like drops.
  3. First one had a lot of magic for the kids. This one is a lot closer to Frozen 2 than Toy Story 2. Evidently it was supposed to be TV series that they re-rigged into a movie because Disney needed something in the box office given the losing streak they were on. You could tell. There are some giant electric eels that just appear, are there for a scene, are fought with, then are gone. What the hell was that all about? Then you understand it was probably some bad guy in one episode of a series. Kids left the first one singing all the songs. This one felt like level of quality of songs.
  4. The ruble stuff is worse than being reported. Everyone says “worst since March 2022”. Technically true but that was just a very transitory blip because of the start of the war. This is isn’t transitory. Mar 2022 is that short downward spike in the middle here.
  5. Arresting mom because *someone else* could have been a criminal is an excellent use of the law.
  6. I was in the mines since I was seven.
  7. people that don’t get on the moving sidewalk at airports always walk at comically fast rates so that they don’t look dumb for their choice.
  8. The Latino detective in Collateral is Mark Ruffalo (the Hulk)
  9. Russia makes it illegal to show "propaganda" that shows that childless life is fun. TV shows like FRIENDS would be banned. Russia is currently losing 500,000 people per year. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/12/world/europe/russia-child-free-lifestyles.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Zk4.eQ0U.QfDT0otNeYuO&smid=url-share Russian lawmakers on Tuesday voted to ban the advocacy of child-free lifestyles, in a move that is part of a broader effort by the Kremlin to reverse a falling birthrate and promote the country as a bastion of traditional values that is battling a decadent West. The State Duma, or lower house of Parliament, unanimously approved a bill that would ban any form of “propaganda” promoting the “refusal to have children.” That would include material on the internet, in media outlets, in movies and in advertising that portrays child-free lifestyles as attractive.
  10. 1 was a good 90s movie, which is the highest compliment a movie can get. 2 was embarrassing. 3 would have been meh if anyone other than PSH was in it. We remember it fondly because we all love him. It wasn't until 4 that it really transformed into the no doubt winner that the series has become.
  11. So strange to think that my retirement years are going to be years of scarcity for the exact opposite reason that I thought they would be 25 years ago.
  12. decided to do some loss harvesting last month and chose twtr. womp womp
  13. there's not going to be some global boycott of an oil rich country for any meaningful length of time.
  14. unexplored plot point is the technology that makes a white van turn to a gray sedan
