@DWLundberg @CentristMadness @WackoJackosflix The funny thing is the biggest thing, that the reason the FBI had a hard on for Henry, was because of the BC point fixing scandal that isn't mentioned at all.

You want to know how juiced up modern sports are?
Usain Bolt's record in a drug-tested competition is about a half second faster.
Enhanced Games@enhanced_games
World's fastest man at the #EnhancedGames belongs to Fred Kerley (9.97s). Captures the $250,000 grand prize.

@DuaneMilton1109 @bizlet7 The idea is that any movie that honestly shows the bad consequences of immoral behavior is rightwing coded.
English
@aPebbleInTheSky It's a matter of micro-dosing and good chemistry at the highest level... Usain Bolt is clearly on something based on the numbers (and everyone who's ever gotten close to him all pissing hot) but his overall chemistry team had to be amazing to keep him from flunking one.
English
One of the many issues with the supposed "Enhanced Games" is that it assumes that athletes in the olympics do not take PEDs. They do. They just do it in such a way to avoid the drugtesting. Now does that mean they do less than those who openly use PEDs, yes. But that gap is

A non-enhanced athlete, Hunter Armstrong, won 1st place in the Men’s 50m Backstroke at the Enhanced Games while competing against athletes using testosterone, steroids, and other PEDs.

@TheTologist Normalcy is going to happen because theatrical can't sustain $1 billion or bust anymore...
English
@OpenRoadOpenMic This is where films like OBSESSION can help us course-correct. If we can pile up enough wins like this, and the public is along for the ride, we can get back to normalcy for the foreseeable future.
English
Moreover this is the exact paradigm shift I said years ago (will find post if needed), that if the mainstream could deem a $15-$20M opening a hit success, the reins of film could be handed back to its formative roots.
This is us exacting that idea in real time.
The CinemaTologist@TheTologist
The reason a big hit like OBSESSION is so important for film is how budget-stressed the business has been for the better half of a decade. Studios may finally—FINALLY—see the merit in handing the keys to upcoming creatives while still not having to break the bank for the next hit. Obsession is that writing on the wall for anyone serious who is listening.
English
@TheTologist The downside of the mid budget film disappearing, or becoming streaming slop, is now it's either small indie or giant tentpole.
English
@OpenRoadOpenMic Oh absolutely, all I’m saying is this can pave the way for NEW talent to come in and continue the trend!
English
@TheTologist I'd take the money and the hit, honestly... a lot of the people in this spot have been broke AF for a long time, so having wealth and the dream is impossible to turn down.
English
@SprawlDontLie People want to think that it's "just the steroids" but some people are built above it without anything.

Open PED use is not going to be some new horizon that unlocks a higher level of athletic achievement

@AndiSocial080 @wwe_wwf_Junkie Mick needed to be clean and clear from the WWE to get a bag from the money mark. That's the real story.
Anything else is just the usual tards sperging out.
English
@wwe_wwf_Junkie Agree to a point, But to you say you went because the WWE openly has done things with the current administration. To a company who's family does also leaves a bad taste.
English
@Joe_Shinkle @wwe_wwf_Junkie Considering Tony's old man gave a million dollars to President Trump's inauguration... well... let's just say he wanted to take a phat bag from the money mark and didn't want a WWE lawsuit.
The window licking set gets to eat up the politics.

He went there because he believes in companies who have their current and former leaders not involved in politics. I couldn’t support Mick anymore now than I have in my life. He stood on business and his beliefs. If you can’t respect that, then you have no business being a wrestling fan.

> Enhanced Games launched in 2026 as the first “doped Olympics”
> Athletes openly allowed to use steroids, PEDs, anything legal
> Founded on the idea that human limits are artificial and drugs unlock the real ceiling
> Hunter Armstrong shows up
> Two time Olympic gold medalist and former world record holder
> Refuses every drug
> Sings up as the only “non enhanced” swimmer in his field
> Faces a pool full of athletes pumped on steroids
> Wins the 50m backstroke anyway
> Walks away with $250,000
Dude is absolut chad.

@brihanford Right now it's "man, this was a great idea and I executed it very badly"
English
@OpenRoadOpenMic Sometimes that’s where the best stuff comes from. Love dusting off the old ideas and finding a nugget of something special… or laughing about how ridiculous some things I thought were worth writing about are.
English
That moment when you've got literally nothing new to write... so you dust off the stuff that's been sitting around to start from page 1
English
@TheTologist Absolutely... but it's hard to say no to that because "i want to make something smaller."
Like ideally I'd love to make a bigger film, and then another... but if I got offered John Wick 5 and $150 million I'm taking it.
English
@OpenRoadOpenMic Understandable of course, but a recipe for disaster!
English
@TheTologist To be fair, someone offers you a $200 million budget to make a film about dinosaurs... well... sometimes you just smile and cash the check
English
@OpenRoadOpenMic Exactly. The pitfall has been these small time guys immediately becoming company men and neutering themselves. We need to learn from the last ten years and avoid that trend.
English
@AdamLehrerSP @RJcliffordMMA The thing is it had worked for a while... all he did was somersault and throw wheel kicks. And then he gets finished and that's mostly a wrap on his career
English
@OpenRoadOpenMic @RJcliffordMMA I don’t think Dana was too pleased with that shit but Rogan’s boner for jiu jitsu led him to be dead wrong as per usual
English
Of all of Ilia Topuria’s performances, the Ryan Hall fight might low-key be his most impressive. He’s the only guy who didn’t look completely befuddled or like it was his first day of jiu-jitsu.
English
@AdamLehrerSP @RJcliffordMMA I jumped out of my seat and high fives the guys at the bar when it happened … all the mma media hyped it up like it wasn’t fight ruining bs.
English
@RJcliffordMMA Also funniest all time Rogan commentary, glazing Hall’s gimmicky bullshit right up until the moment Ryan gets murdered
English
@ajlamesa It’s an unnecessary thing … and a reminder the company ain’t paying their employees shit if they’re expecting me to make up the gap
English
Forcing customers to hit no tip after buying a $2 donut or $3 drip coffee introduces socio-emotional labor to the transaction. Multiply that across multiple purchases during the day and a lot of people feel annoyed in a way they wouldn’t if buying stuff in, say, Sweden or Japan.
Bilbo Baggins@BillySakmann
@ajlamesa Hitting no tip is so easy and they don’t expect a tip and it doesn’t matter if you tip. Really a non issue
English
@Springbreakthru And The Ultimate Fighter was on right after Raw, which is basically the same audience of dudes 15-35 that Vince relied on.
English
Wrestling lost a lot of viewers in the 2000s not just because WCW was gone and Rock/Austin retired but also because of MMAs rise.
Believe it or not, a lot of wrestling fans were there for the actual action. And MMA got to the point a lot more efficiently per minute of viewing
