Does it honestly surprise anyone at this point?

Neither. Those lips are fuckin gross.

That part of Enemy at the Gates is so fuckin bleak and sobering.

If you name her Julia, you can wake her up with the wonderful meme of “Good morning Julia, it’s me, Joe…”

That chick is foul. Like, legitimately butt ugly.

Is that John Hamm?

Edit: Never mind, that is in fact Sergio. I stand corrected.

This is indeed true for most, but not all call centers.

Omg, what is this from? It’s on the tip of my tongue, but I can’t quite get it.

Edit: I googled it, I knew it was Mitch Hedberg. How did it not click?

Lmao, how did I know you were British from the initial posts you’ve made before I saw this one?! Love the pics. I seriously have no idea how I knew you were a Brit before this, but that makes me laugh a lot for some reason. Nice ass though.

As someone who is indeed struggling with financial insecurity, on top of depression, anxiety, and I’m pretty sure adult ADD, it sucks a great deal. My spouse also has similar issues, and so we try to just find the joy in our kids, but I’m worried about passing our issues on to the kids. I truly don’t know what to do at this point.

Lmfao, fuckin no.

That is quite aggressive lol.

Let me use marvel as the best example, regardless of the fact that there are many others. The marvel movies used to be something you needed to see. But of the shows and movies recently, there have been some true garbage offerings to the modern viewer: Black widow, Falcon and winter, Ms marvel, Secret invasion, Wakanda Forever, Eternals, (for some, not me) she hulk, Hawkeye… pretty much everything but Shang chi and Wandavision, have been absolute garbage. True dreck trash that had no business flying the marvel banner, and it wasn’t fatigue, regardless of what many like to say, instead they were just poorly made garbage. The writing and production on these things are barely mediocre at absolute best. Other examples are WW84, the flash, and pretty much all DC titles ever since The Dark knight (short of The Batman and Joker). All of these things are such garbage that it truly is an embarrassment to the entire genre, and makes me think more and more that the cancellation of Batgirl was actually a good thing. The only good DC in the recent times besides what I held is Aquaman (not an Original WW fan, so idk what to tell ya). None of these are fatigue, they are very clearly poorly produced products that are just pushed out for the money of it all, and not the actual art that could be made, or the adherence to the original story that could be maintained. If another phenomenal hero title comes out, then I’m there day one to see it. But if they keep offering failures at story telling, then what’s the point?

I’m sure that most of society feel like they’re feeling some fatigue of some kind, but it’s bad story fatigue whether they know it or not. The studios need to find better and more compelling stories to tell, or the public will truly convince itself that it is actual superhero fatigue and the stories will depart for decades until a nostalgia wave hits. Hopefully the studios realize this, and start putting out quality content, otherwise, those of us who are true fans, will be doomed to the same crap from the early 00’s that we had before. Yes some of it was good, but really think back to the heyday of the marvel flicks, right after the first avengers when the Thanos anticipation was truly palpable, and it seemed like marvel could do no wrong. Then think about stinkers like Dark World or Ultron, and consider how they were capable of recovering from that. Long story short, it’s the writing and production, not fatigue.

Bill Cosby’s dream scenario.

Superbly put good sir… or miss.

I’m pretty sure I covered that in the second part of my comment…

From what I’ve seen, it depends on how much is being spoken, and very much depends on what the actor is capable of. For a single line, more often than not the actor will learn it phonetically, and just say it themselves. If it’s a whole episode, the actor may accept the challenge, but if confidence isn’t high, they’ll get a sound alike. For full translations, like anime dubs, they get all new actors. But sometimes the same actor will stay and do the other language if they are fluent enough in it to do the job well.

Then there’s Vin Diesel doing all the alternate language versions of his groot line himself, which a lot of people tout as amazing, but I feel like learning how to say one thing in a foreign language, and just saying it with different levels of intensity or cadence, is something that anyone can do, and shouldn’t really be celebrated.

I oddly have notifications pop up on the screen, but almost always have my sound/ringer off, lest it get loud at work, or while my kid is trying to sleep. I can’t do dumb tvs, since streaming is required (I mean anything not connected to like an Apple TV, or chrome cast or whatever). And my phone vibrating from a call isn’t loud enough for my wife calling it to be heard, but the ping will sound regardless of whether or not it’s on silent.

I love mine, since I can control my media with it, see my texts at a glance, and ping my phone when it’s missing. Those features alone make it so that I’ll never want a dumb watch again.

Twisted Metal (2023 on peacock) was surprisingly good, even though you kinda have to ignore its source material to really enjoy the show, because beyond a character and cars with guns, it really doesn’t follow much else.
