    Well I've got "who will cum first on the wedding night" stuck in my head now.

    She-Hulk

    Why does it only have to be the post credit crap that ties movies together? Isn't that the complaint? The actual movies themselves have nothing to do with anything related.

    She-Hulk

    The critique is because even if the movies were somewhat shitty, it might be redeemable if it was building into a larger picture. But they're both shitty and aimless, so it doesn't even have that going for it. No Way Home was fine. It's only good because of the cameos. Take that out and it's...

    She-Hulk

    Wow, almost like this franchise is now just a directionless pile of dog shit. They've hired people who don't have any other credits to direct, pigeonholed in random diversity hires, and ignored pretty much everything that made Marvel successful previously. I'd say they're in a worse spot than...

    We're at the same spot we were back in June. The market has a long way to go. It's about 14% down from the start of the year, although that lines up pretty much with the ATH.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    This is one where his origin story really just stops working the further we get from the comic in time. Eventually anything connected to WWII and the suspension of disbelief becomes too much because he ends up being 150 years old. Captain America only worked because he was frozen.

    Seems like if it were a case of an insider liquidating before the market crash, he would've done so back in December/January, not after the market is down 14-20%.

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    We've been rewatching old shows, before woke killed everything; Office, Parks and Rec, Scrubs, etc. All good shows and I can watch The Office over and over and it never stops being funny.

    Black Bird

    Well this ended like a wet fart. Felt like there was potential for it to be super interesting, and then...it just kind of ended on a whimper? Like they just relied on what actually happened to wrap it all up. Or burned through all their episodes setting it up, realized they only had 6 episodes...

    The Netflix Thread

    Our alternative station at the time WHFS, used to hold a massive concert called the HFStival (started the year before Lollapalooza). I went three years, starting when I was 12. I remember my best friend and I had a tally of how many boobs we'd seen. It was pretty awesome. Of all the bands I saw...

    Oh, didn't even notice. So that makes it even worse. DC, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman all as "separate" content? C'mon man.

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    Says a lot about how little content you have when you don't say "DC comics" but instead separate out the individual characters.

    Decided to give the HBO one a shot (Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage), and holy shit, if you really want to watch one, go with the Netflix one. The HBO one is fucking garbage. I'm only 30 minutes in and I'm about done. From some dumb bitch with purple hair "there were just so many white men...

    The Netflix Thread

    94 was memorable for the mud. Apparently 99 for the fires. I wonder if the PPV element is why we don't remember it. It was kind of segregated off. Still seems like I would've remembered the fires and rioting and shit from the nes afterwards, but nope.

    Didn't watch the HBO documentary for comparison, but the Woodstock 99 series was pretty crazy. Neither my wife nor I really remember it at all which is strange. Like, I vaguely remember it being a thing, but I didn't know how big of a shit show it turned into, which you think we would have since...

    I guess I just forgot how bad the last couple months have been, because even with this rally, we're still only where we were at the start of June. This is quite the hole we're still in.

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    Kind of surprised, but my wife just said she didn't want to renew. Apparently our original 3 year sub (for $160ish or whatever it was) ends in a few months. Wonder how many people end up not renewing as theirs come up soon as well. Not sure how Disney does their accounting, but that could do a...

    It's funny, a week ago I was thinking to myself that I'd sell once it hit $10 again since it kept hitting it and dropping back down. For some reason I decided against it. Granted, I'm still massively red on it.

    Home buying thread

    Don't forget that rents are still astronomical compared to mortgages. I'd say there's probably a faction in this country of renters looking to buy just to save money that never existed before. Rents in my area are like 75% more than what the mortgage payment (with tax and insurance) would be.

    Ashes of Creation

    PRX was a fun experiment, but in my opinion that militant guild shit is something I'm just too old for. I don't need some assclown telling me I need to show up at x time or else. Our super chill Lost Ark guild managed to still be one of the top guilds. Granted, it's not really a PVP centric...

    I too have been using Usenet for the last 8 or so years, as I ended up with like 3 DMCA notices in a very short time period for downloading Veep. I was one away from them shutting off my service, and where I was living there wasn't any other ISP. So I stopped fucking around and went the Usenet...

    Night Market stuff was fun. Very much a Diagon Alley type of thing. Laszlo and Colin still the best part. Him shitting all over the fairy tales was great.

    Demand is up, potentially (and probably likely), because the cost of borrowing is significantly lower than inflation. Everyone is pulling buying forward because it's cheaper to do so than to wait a year and eat the inflation cost on top of it. It's why I keep repeating that inflation begets...

    I thought at some point they explained that Talos was all (or mostly) former SpecOps guys. Regardless, they were innocent. You could also argue that Jai Courtney's security guards were unnecessary casualties. Sure, they fired back at him, but he initiated contact. They were just providing...

    Finished it. I really enjoyed it, up until the final episode where it all went off the fucking rails. But prior to the last episode I enjoyed all of it, even if it was a bit unbelievable.

    The only way this is impacting inflation is our bi-weekly aid packages to Ukraine for a few billion. Maybe stop pissing our money away?

    You should know better by now that after market doesn't matter. Shit is going to tank today, big time. The only thing that might make it trade sideways is everyone waiting on the Fed, but after that it's a red day.

    Better Call Saul

    Haven't watched the video, but that seems like a ridiculously short timeframe. That'd basically mean Saul got moved, immediately had a heart attack, and then started scheming again? Literally no time laying low?

    I like total market over strictly S&P 500. That way you get all the small and mid caps that it misses. But in the end it probably matters very little.

    Only just watched the first episode, but you can definitely tell they had a SEAL as a consultant. Not that I really know fuckall about how the SEALs operate. But it's close enough to what I do know that it's super believable. I remember many, many years ago that when we did combatives they...
