For those of you who love comics, I've created a Substack:
icritic.substack.com/?r=9m3fโฆ
This is a continuation of my old website The Comic Book Guy! Feel free to subscribe (apparently getting 10 subs is a huge milestone I need to reach).
Why I spent it on Wildwoods box office? Use the money to buy Laika (or at least a share of the company).
What if I were to win some $1 billion lottery and I donate ALL OF THAT MONEY to Wildwood's box office...
Is that possible? Would I be able to walk up to a theater and just dump a shit ton of cash and say "This is for Wildwood's financial success"

This makes more sense when you realize this cult has been active for more than ten years. That's a long time to be in a particular mindset. There's a reason it will take years to get over this.
this isnโt satire btw. a real man posted this without hesitation
MAGA is indeed officially dead. good fucking riddance

๐จ ๐๐ข๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐: Following the step down of James Gunn and Peter Safran, Skydance have reportedly started talks with Zack Snyder to return to DC Studios
If the deal goes through, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck could reprise their roles for a โJUSTICE LEAGUE 2โ

No, theyโre just following the storyline from sonic CD. Thereโs gonna be time travel involved not a Multiverse.
It actually wasnโt for no reason. Suncoast sold one product basically: movies. To make money on Movies, they sold them at the suggested retail price, which meant that every time they sold a tape (and later DVD) they could actually take a profit home.
The reason the movies were always cheap cheaper at Walmart and target is because they sold them for $20, which meant they either made only a few pennies for each movie sold or they took a loss of a few pennies.
And thatโs fine: they had a whole store of other high margin merchandise they could use to offset that, and movies were seen as year long door busters. Suncoast not only needed to actually make money on the movies, but they provided a service that you couldnโt get from target at Walmart: a better selection which meant you could find stuff the big box realtors didnโt stock.
Wanted to buy an anime? Suncoast was where you got your tapes. Wanted episodes of Star Trek on VHS? You went to Suncoast. Heck, they even sold documentaries and international films and occasionally an NC-17 rated movie. Yeah if you were just buying the latest Disney movie, you were being stupid buying it at Suncoast.
But if you were a movie fan, who wanted those niche products this was the place to go and you paid the price for that luxury.
And yes, obviously when e-commerce became a thing, like blockbuster when Netflix came around, the business model for Suncoast just didnโt make sense anymore.
This is a great image and example on how physical media speed ran its way to becoming obsolete.
Even in the 90's, this place was outrageously expensive for absolutely no reason

No, we just have to wait and see how Snyder Bros turn this into a new wishful campaign to get the Snyder versus restored
James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-heads of DC Studios after four years:
โข Marvel Studios veteran Jeremy Latcham will take over as president and chief creative officer on Dec. 1
โข Gunn and Safran will โreturn full time to their creative workโ ahead of โMan of Tomorrow,โ the sequel to 2025โs โSuperman,โ which hits theaters July 9, 2027.
โข Said Gunn and Safran: โFour years ago, we set out to unite DC under one creative vision. In that time, we helped restore Superman to the heart of DC, while opening new doors and telling new stories in film and television with Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Lanterns and Clayface. Weโre immensely proud of the team that turned that ambition into something real, including the actors, crews and executives we had the opportunity to collaborate with. Weโve shared a creative history with Jeremy going back to Marvel, and weโre eager to see the perspective he brings to DCโs next chapter. Weโre excited to return to what drew us to this job in the first place, which is telling the stories we love, including the next chapter of Clark and Lexโs journey in Man of Tomorrow.โ

Of course itโs a stupid as hell discussion. But thatโs the exact conversation you get when you start pushing for things like Amanda Seyfried getting a best supporting actress nomination when she very obviously shouldnโt.
This question of whether You Can See Everything is a documentary or not is stupid as hell. It's obviously a documentary.

I'd like to take this moment, as they couldn't find anything substantive to say about her life in movie format. What makes them think making a ten-episode (or whatever) series is going to be any more substantive?
Is she going to try on more dresses and shoes?

A deal with made with Jack in the Box instead.
I am honestly shocked that there isn't going to be a #AvengersDoomsday tie-in with McDonald's? That one seems like a no-brainer.
I wonder what is going on with the Disney/McDonald's business relationship.

Is it really so hard to grasp that Trump did a terrible job these last few years and people reacted accordingly?
๐จ President Trump just shared something every American needs to understand.
Here it is in plain English.
An analyst looked at 59 Senate and governor races this year and compared them to Trump's 2024 numbers.
What they found is wild.
In almost every state, Republicans got about 85% of Trump's 2024 vote.
The other 15% showed up on the Democrat side.
Here's the strange part.
It didn't matter if the state was deep red like Wyoming or deep blue like Massachusetts.
The same 15% shift showed up almost everywhere.
Different candidates, different campaigns, same number.
That 15% is exactly what flipped Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina and North Carolina.
Any state where Trump won with under about 58.5% fell below 50% once you take that 15% away.
Real elections are messy.
Numbers this neat raise real questions.
The fix is simple: hand count the paper ballots, check the poll books against the votes counted, and release the voter files.
If there's nothing to hide, let's see the ballots. ๐บ๐ธ

People got tired of buying tickets weeks in advance and still having to stand in line for hours on opening day just to sit together (or sit in a good spot).
Nobody asked for movie theaters to start assigning seats. In 1986, you bought a ticket, walked inside, and sat wherever you wanted.
In 2026, you're staring at a seating chart, trying to figure out whether G12 is too close, H14 is too far, and why two decent seats cost more than your first car payment.
We turned sitting in the dark into a real estate transaction.
WTF happened?

In all fairness, most people did not need more than one of these. But I do remember them. I also remember using them obviously I think the only time I saw that get abused was when a homeless guy put in a quarter and grabbed the whole stack and then started selling them on the street like a newsy.
Remember dropping your coins into one of these, pulling open the door, and grabbing the morning paper? Nobody stopped you from taking the whole stack. They just trusted you wouldn't.
Who remembers these?

Well, maybe Trump shouldnโt have promised to bring down the prices on day one and this wouldnโt have been an issue.
I'm not heartbroken anymore. I'm PISSED.
People voted in this election like they have zero brain cells.
They walked in mad about groceries and rent and voted against Trump like he's the one who set the prices at the store. That's stupid. I'm sorry, but it is. Learn how this actually works: Prices blew up because of COVID. Supply chains shut down. Businesses closed. Then inflation hit. And once prices go up, they DON'T come back down. That's not a Trump thing, that's an economics thing.
My rent went from $700 to own a house like this, to $1,900 to rent it. Do you think any landlord is going to volunteer to lower that back down? Do you think insurance companies are going to lower rates because they feel nice? No.
No president can force that. So you got mad about your receipt and voted to punish the one guy who didn't even NEED this job. He was already rich.
He got sued. He got SHOT at and almost killed. And he stayed. He stayed because he has kids and grandkids and he doesn't want this country going down the road of socialism, where the government controls everything.
I struggle to learn. I'm not pretending to be the smartest person in the room.
But I pay attention. And it scares me how many people don't. This election wasn't about fixing the problem. It was about blaming the wrong person for it.
And we're all going to pay for it.
