@xenocryptsite “Sandwiched between two Avengers movies” vs “co-starring two TV characters” explains like like 40% of it, the rest is probably Marvel Malaise and Larson Derangement Syndrome

The reason this is rare is, if your movie did well enough for a sequel to be greenlit, then there should be at least enough interest for its opening weekend to be good. So you really need a particular confluence of factors for "sequel gross" < "first movie opening weekend".

M3GAN 2.0 almost certainly joining the rarified if unprestigious group of sequels (especially sequels to original films) that make less money in total than their predecessor did in its first weekend ($30M).

Why do all the kids books these days have titles like "The day my bum fell off" or "My big fart dinner" or "Captain Fart Bum's day at the Fart Store"?

@HeerJeet If the Democrats are planning to sabotage Mamdani, someone should tell their social media team

Congratulations, @ZohranKMamdani! Onward to November.

Really looks like some Dem party leaders are toying with sabotaging Mamdani's campaign even though his the nominee fair & square. If they do this, they will absolute alienate all the voters they are already bleeding, especially young voters (including young Black voters), & Asian voters. They will doom their future prospects as a party and deserve all the losses they will reap.

i think the only thing that could make democrats seem more out of touch right now is saying that they're not sure they can support the dude who just won a primary on a message of making nyc affordable for the working class.

@DrewPavlou And both have assimilated perfectly into different niche American subcultures. This is truly an incredible country

Interesting random historical fact: Both Kash Patel and Zohran’s fathers were expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin in anti-Indian ethnic cleansing

@credenzaclear2 Liked, but more importantly, bookmarked (I have no idea what like half of these are)

oomf just said this and she’s so right

@legotrillermoth If Romy makes better music than Mr Cardamom, will that make her politics better or worse?

@CNLiberalism @_giacomo_volpe_ You would absolutely not accept this opinion from someone who wanted to vote for Jill Stein. You either have to endorse earlier to try and drive change or pick from the leading candidates later

@_giacomo_volpe_ NYC really has a lack of imagination when it comes to selecting political leaders

"Mamdani is not the kind of leftist and is sincere about his pro-growth views"

understand why left wing oriented people don’t like israel but will never understand why so much of the hard right hates them
it’s a high iq militarized capitalist religious ethnostate and the ONLY western country above replacement fertility
isn’t that exactly what they want?

i'm not normally one for censorship, but any society that wishes to thrive needs to ban short form video content unfortunately this doesn't poll well, so nothing will be done about it

Is 'Juneteenth' a noble & inspiring name for a U.S. federal holiday?

@arushiirl @cowboy_postbop Idk it’s easy to imagine that the entire audience for his shows overseas uses anglophone/American twitter

@sunshowerguy @cowboy_postbop and likely just recognized the name or the meme of it all rather than anything deeper than that lol

feels like there might be a bit of selection bias here

Just so y’all know, in every city I’ve performed in around Europe, simply mentioning Luigi gets an applause break

@AaronBergman18 I think that unfortunately for your scheme, it’s gonna get a lot of women. They just like reading more than men

Selfishly I hope this one-shots like 60% of the male population (and 0% of the female population)

@sakuranekoox @IvyKungu You’re watching too, that’s the premise of the show. And everyone there presumably enjoys being watched
English
@GianmarcoSoresi You're a left-leaning comedian with a social-media-formed fanbase performing in English. That's like the best way to find Spaniards who know about Luigi

@netcapgirl Fraud is legal at the moment, so you can't get arrested for it rn

@valentinavee Arguably, that's the plot of all three movies you listed lol

I believe in Luca Guadagnino supremacy. This movie was my 3rd favorite of last year after “Conclave” and “It’s What’s Inside.”

I still can't believe Challengers didn’t receive a single Oscar nomination.
