Funniest movie I've seen in 2023: Barbie
Most emotional movie I've seen in 2023: Sound Of Freedom (Runner-up: Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3)
Best action movie I've seen in 2023: Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One (Runner-up: John Wick Chapter 4)

Actually, it's either a) big name actors who are demanding more money upfront because of disappearing residuals, or b) shooting in expensive locations. There are many such cases of both of these factors coming together to create a perfect storm too.

Say what you will about Sound Of Freedom, but that movie was made on a $14.5 million dollar budget by an indie studio shooting at economic locations while not overpaying the main cast. If this was made by a major studio, I bet it would cost about $75 million at least to make the same looking movie with equivalent-calibre actors and similar looking locations. (It should also be pointed out that Angel Studios has already agreed to the Hollywood unions' terms, so it's likely they have already been giving their actors and writers fair residuals for awhile now, due to their low resistance to the terms.)

Imagine comparing Mission Impossible to Fast & Furious. That's like comparing escargot to a snail you found on the side of the road.

If you liked the first movie, you might want to check out the TV show. It's the only film that retained much of the DNA from the original series except for the masks of course.

A drug

I guess this is what happens when you give a director creative control over a project!

I don't understand why they bailed out the banks in '08, it wasn't fair to citizens who were in debt because their houses were underwater, just not fair at all.

Q-anon adjacent film

lol

Where's the word count for how many times Qanon is mentioned in this conspiracy theory laced film?

You ever heard of the Mission Impossible movies? Those are good.

I'm surprised that they lost so many subscribers. Stupid rebrand or not, the new service has a lot more for everyone. It certainly felt like there was content there that an entire family of all ages could enjoy, not just folks in two or three specific demographics.

The bar is pretty low for what amuses left-wingers, I suppose.

Low insularity and high volume of posts

if an instance only talks to itself (like Brighteon or Social Quodverum or whatever that's called) it will never grow, that's why No Agenda Social continues to grow and those two instances are stagnant

Hot take: they might be right that going back to the office makes folks more productive, but the quiet quitting phenomenon could be counteracting that effect

As a capitalist I don't understand why it wouldn't be about the money

To a certain degree, yes; either burp more, or eat food that is easier to digest.

If you're avoiding fast food, pears, beans etc. and you're still coming across this issue, you may want to check with your doctor and see if you have any digestive issues

Count yourself blessed, all the drama that I know of has been maybe not caused but perpetuated by holding grudges

Closed, because I don't wanna be snuck on.

Not entirely shocking, but still quite interesting

Fair point, moral superiority is generally sufficient to stop a mass shooter
