@MustangMan_TX Friends, family, good food, and good music. My mom loved Elvis I remember hearing him on the 8-track. So sad the following year he died.

@Oceanbreeze473 You break in, and I am not checking if you are armed the simple fact is you should have been before entering my home unannounced and uninvited.

@fandompulse I like the idea of Supergirl almost as much as I like women's soccer.
English

Supergirl director Craig Gillespie on what to expect from the character:
"What I loved about the script that Ana [Nogueira] wrote and what you guys were supporting is she's got a lot of baggage and a lot of demons coming into this, which is very different than the way Superman is in his life."
Is this what you want out of Supergirl?

@DrBenTapper1 You don't understand; water and energy use are ok when AI needs them. It's only when humans need them that they need to be restricted. And when you say 5 million gallons a day, does that pass through for cooling and come out warm on the other side, or is it actually consumed?
English

AI data centers can use up to five million gallons of water each day. Am I the only one concerned about how this could pose a serious threat to our farmers and our food supply? What happens when these centers seriously strain our aquifers and dry up irrigation systems? Is it really worth it?

@libsoftiktok The left is TOXIC; its always the left posting this sick, evil, heartless, soulless shit.

Does anyone know where she works?

Becky, a leftist nurse, is so furious with Sen. John Fetterman for voting to confirm Markwayne Mullin as DHS secretary that she wants him to ‘have another one’ — meaning another stroke. When did nurses start wishing death on people they disagree with politically? 😳 Profile screenshot is in the comments. Roast responsibly.

Bane creator Graham Nolan on James Gunn's Superman movie:
"Superman has one histrionic outburst after another and wonders why he’s mistrusted? Way too beta.
His parents are from Kansas and sound and act like they were inbred in Kentucky. It’s a narrative mess as scenes jump confusingly. Too many characters with no intro to who they are. I know Steve Lombard’s background but a normy doesn’t.
Perry White smokes a cigar with no smoke or ash
Calling fight plays during a fight? That’s idiotic. We never see Metamorpho do anything to break up the war at the end, yet there he is all of a sudden.
I have one unbreakable rule when it comes to movies and entertainment: make me care! I’ll buy all kinds of bullshit you are selling if I care about the characters and stakes. For SUPERMAN…I didn’t care."
Is he right?

@AsianDawn4 Why do commercials show 12% of the population 90% of the time?
English

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences implemented a new set rules that would automatically disqualify any movie--domestic or international--from Best Picture category if it doesn't implement "inclusion standards."
This especially affects Japanese and South Korean productions.
•Standard A (On-Screen Representation): A lead or significant supporting actor is from an underrepresented group (Black, Hispanic, etc.), or at least 30% of the ensemble cast is from underrepresented groups (women, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, or underrepresented ethnic groups).
•Standard B (Creative Team): Key creative leadership or crew positions (directors, cinematographers, etc.) are filled by underrepresented groups.
•Standard C (Industry Access): The production company offers paid internships/apprenticeships to underrepresented groups.
•Standard D (Marketing): The film has diverse marketing, publicity, or distribution teams.

@fandompulse The one on the right, too bad he didn’t have the best writers or directors.

@bobduffy @fandompulse Superman is challenging to make relatable today" why? What changed? Did human beings stop admiring goodness? Or did writers stop believing in it?
English

He's wrong and contradicts himself.
He wants to care for a god level character, then complains when the character is grounded, real, struggling.
He found things to dislike but never mentions the story and avoids connecting those things to the narrative. Superman is a challenging character to make relatable today. If you make him perfect and OP, he's better as a villain than a hero. You make him imperfect, people see him as a flawed interpretation
English

Superman IS interesting because he's a paragon. That's the entire point of the character.
He has the power to rule the world and chooses to save cats from trees. He could burn everything down, and instead he stands for truth and justice. The tension between unlimited power and voluntary goodness is what makes him compelling. That's not boring; that's the hardest thing to write well.
"Flawed and interesting" is code for "I don't know how to write a genuinely good character, so I'll make him whiny and broken instead." " It's lazy. Any writer can make a hero doubt himself. It takes actual skill to make a hero who stands firm and still keeps the audience riveted.
Batman is the flawed one. Wolverine is the flawed one. That's their lane, and it works for them. Superman's lane is being the guy who makes everyone around him want to be better. The moment you make him "beta" and "histrionic," you haven't made him interesting. You've just made him Batman without the edge.
The creator of Bane just told you it doesn't work. Maybe listen.
English

@fandompulse God forbid someone try to make Superman flawed and interesting instead of a paragon of perfection.
English

@davidjsorensen What exactly is being exposed that Mearsheimer, Finkelstein, or a dozen other critics haven't already put in print with their names on it? What's new here?
English

"No real facts" — yet you didn't name one I got wrong. Not one.
Kurtzman's deal is public record. Starfleet Academy can't crack the Nielsen Top 10. Eight-figure per-episode budget, and the audience still left. Every word I posted is sourced. Your rebuttal is name-calling and a Jethro crack.
You claim to know what Star Trek is "all about." Great. Enlighten us. Because so far all you've offered is insults and zero substance.
Roddenberry's vision was a future where humanity had moved past its divisions. Kurtzman's is a future where every episode reminds you of them. The fact that you think defending Roddenberry's vision makes someone ignorant about Star Trek tells me everything about which one of us actually watched the show.
English

@svan71 @fandompulse You speak with the tone of a great deal of authority for someone who doesn’t have a damn clue what he’s taking about.
English

@libsoftiktok The world's most hopeful construction project. "$114 million and a blown deadline hope is all that's left because results weren't in the budget.
English

@jondelarroz The real test for both is simple: does the story come first or does the messaging? Gunn's track record says he can choose a story. Lanterns looks like it's already lost the plot.
