Ad ASStra is a movie made by an EMO tween that didn't get enough love. I would rather masturbate with a cheesegrater than rewatch that abomination of scifi. If you had to frame how an aborted fetus would look if it survived, that would be this movie. This was not scifi. It was a hate crime against film. I need to blow 37 dicks to get the taste of this trash out of my mouth.

Feature (movie)-length documentary about Desert One:
I must see.
I must see.
Must have been a lot of trial and error to figure 37 Dicks, instead of 40 or 35. Might as well go with 74, being proactive; just in case you get more trash in your mouth.

There is plenty of shit out there, and I'd agree that it wasn't Oscar worthy, but it was entertaining and definitely watchable. Maybe Cuties is more up your alley?

I don’t know what movie you saw but clearly it was not Power. Power makes The Texas chainsaw massacre 2 look like Citizen KaneThere is plenty of shit out there, and I'd agree that it wasn't Oscar worthy, but it was entertaining and definitely watchable. Maybe Cuties is more up your alley?
On the one hand agreement, as I'm kind of growing tired of the same characters receiving reboot over reboot, but on the other hand this looks like a pretty decent original take imho and I like that it apparently focuses more on the detective part, which is what makes the character interesting to me. Strongly reminds me of those telltale games.
The outrage over the eyeshadow is funny. Every Batman wore it. It never made sense to me that it would just magicaly vanish whenever Batman took off his cowl. I'm a sucker for little details like that.

Really? Nobody picked up on that movie reference? In a thread about movies? All of you. Choke. Your. Selves.
Sucked 37 dicks is a reference to a scene in clerks.... oh NSFW

Agreed, and part of why I'm interested in having a look.
This is a misplaced literalist read of a cinematic representation of the mask's actual contours.
The eyeshadow permitted live-action actors to more comfortably represent the mask's contours while allowing them to also communicate some degree of the eye-based expression and emotion that Batman famously conveys in comics and animation. This use of eyeshadow as a purely visual tool is also reflected every time he removes his mask in the comics, cartoons, and all previous live-action renderings
The sudden shift from eyeshadow as cinematic representation of the mask's actual contours to eyeshadow as what the fictional Bruce Wayne actually applies every time he puts on the mask is an intentional artistic pivot away from classical Batman towards a more emo Batman, a la Joker.
I don't remember what I watched this morning, let alone a movie reference from year's ago. But go ahead and suck them dicks.

The more you know.
Yeah, it's very Tim Burton.
Perhaps. Or ... it IS a literal take, which' theatric functionality would also apply in that very fictional setting. Besides detective work, Batman is also a lot about theatrics, appearance and deception. Maybe eyeshadow/camo is part of it in this one. ^^
In any case, I got a good feeling about this one.

I love how people keep saying "get woke, go broke" about two films that made 1.2-1.4 billion dollars at the box office.

Before the George Floyd incident I would believe this. Jimmy Pitaro when he took over ESPN was charged with having employees focusing on the core business of sports and not be a political platform. Jemele Hill and Michael Smith were overtly political when they were moved into the 6PM slot of SportsCenter and didn't really do "SportsCenter" it was a pretty trashy show if you desired sports takes. The ratings for the just after work hour sank into the ocean and Hill was moved to the Undefeated where she could be very woke. She left ESPN and became the Atlantic's Woke Writer.
Then the Floyd Incident happened and we had nation wide unrest and the Undefeated hosted a conversation on race, the ratings for that were awful. Now you have NBA players saying they won't play basketball because of the latest shooting. But again, they won't do shit about the violence that happens every day.

It's pretty straightforward. Firstly, the phrase is a generalized observation that has many evidentiary instances (from movies, to tv shows, to comics, and more) over the past few years. Secondly, the DT has a very strong downwards trend, movie-on-movie. Thirdly, Disney has yet to break even on the LF/Star Wars purchase of >$4B. It's not to say that these movies made no money. But they are making way less than they "should" - or at least less than Disney execs would have anticipated. Pre-KK, Star Wars was an infinite money printer. With KK, it has been rapidly turning into a liability (especially if you start considering the wider revenue base that has totally tanked, including SW-branded merch and theme parks).
