Deadpool & Wolverine | Trailer

cloudballoon says...

The only good multiverse story is one where a psycho goes to all the multiverses and massacre every single "self" then some, then all the killings' done, he call himself a hero.

The MCU pretty much lost me around the 2nd Avengers, the interconnectedness of all the movies turned me off going to the theatres to watch the MCU films, but I did kept on streaming the follow ups until the Eternals.

Crosswalk Visibility Insurance

cloudballoon says...

What's so "seen" about carrying a (foam) brick to cross the road? That drivers would be afraid the pedestrian will throw the brick at them for not stopping and purposely run him/her/(pronoun) over?

Those fake bricks are probably germ incubators even for a short term. And I wouldn't be surprised assholes would just stick all kinds of gums, mucus and phlegm all over the bricks for "giggles" ... almost EXPECTED nowadays. And what about what's gonna happen if a pedestrian with the brick in case a close call? Is the "safety campaign" trying to legitimize throwing bricks at cars?

The whole idea is just problematic to me as a safety/social experiment.

Just be careful, look both ways before crossing and stop looking at the phone while crossing for a few seconds should do the trick.

Yes, we can argue that onus is on the drivers to avoid pedestrians getting hurt. But it's ALWAYS the pedestrians getting hurt/killed in accidents, rarely the other way around. I wouldn't leave MY life in other peoples hands whenever I cross a road, having the right of way or not.

Why Do We Sign Up To Marriage Forever

cloudballoon jokingly says...

That's so un-American, ooops, I meant so "American Born Again Evangelist" of you.

I bought my home and car outright.

Maybe that’s why my marriage has lasted 26 years so far. I don’t jump into permanent situations pretending they’re temporary or that I can walk away and make them someone else’s problem eventually.
I also never assumed there would be no issues and our marriage (or home or car) would be conflict free perfection.

The 3rd line

cloudballoon says...

Respect!

For me,

1st line: That's a line I say often, but she just goes doe-eyed on me.

2nd line: never said it.

3rd line (word): somehow I always follows up with "damn it!"

newtboy said:

I think I said them before we were married too.

Consequences- Once she said “I didn’t do it, you did”…she was right, once she said “I did, now you”. You get to figure out what lines she replied to.

We’re still married 26 years later.

Francis Scott Keys Bridge In Baltimore Collapses

cloudballoon says...

I read the news at 4am last night after pulling some OT. Shit I had a hard time going to sleep doom scrolling for another 30 mins before I put down the phone.

From this video, seems like the ship's power was going in/out intermittently before the crash with heavy smoke billowing out, so that might be engine/fire trouble.

Why that is (poor maintenance record, sabotage or what not) is to be determined. It's just a very inopportune, and deadly, time to have that kind of power outage.

Damn stupid & cruel to politicize this accident.

newtboy said:

Of course…

Republicans are already politicizing this tragedy in multiple ways…
1) insinuating because it’s a foreign owned ship it might be intentional/terrorism
2) insinuating that because it’s a foreign owned ship it has something to do with “open borders”
3) tying the expected economic impact to automatically creating more inflation, quickly blamed on Biden and
4) blaming the collapse on poor infrastructure which they blame on Democrats despite Republicans having voted against the first meaningful infrastructure bill in decades, a Democrat written and sponsored bill they all take credit for now.

Meanwhile the White House has sent federal assistance, sent the Secretary of transportation, and already pledged the army core of engineers to clear debris and rebuild as fast as possible using federal money to be recouped from the shipping company later (not wait years to rebuild while we litigate their responsibility).

Quite a stark contrast in leadership styles on display.

Another viewpoint of the accident…

When Two Filmmakers Make the Same Movie

cloudballoon says...

Exactly. I'd just shelve a docufilm project as soon as I know Herzog's on the same topic, in the same year no less!

Granted, Fire of Love ain't bad at all. But Herzog just elevated the whole thing!

newtboy said:

Is any comparison to Herzog fair?

FURIOSA : A MAD MAX SAGA | OFFICIAL TRAILER #2

cloudballoon says...

Not getting a "Young Theron as Furiosa" vibe in Taylor-Joy. But I like most of her projects. And she can act, so looking forward to this. One of my handful of anticipated films in 2024. The other is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
