Yes nobody ever showed celebrities at sports games until Taylor Swift showed up to one.

It sucks that until this year Superbowl was just about the football. Hopefully next year they won't have any focus on a musician.

Hook those of us without twitter accounts up with some excerpts.

It's not that worth it tbh. It's just different variants of "Your intern/nurse posted this!" and "cringe!" kinda comments.

Her next concert is in Australia in 4 days. Time zones means she basically loses a day travelling too.

The comments are so salty lol

i dont get it

There was a conspiracy theory that Taylor Swift is a Joe Biden plant and he made her date Kelce so the Chiefs could win the Superbowl and she will announce her support for Biden after their scripted victory.

The Chiefs just won the Superbowl.

10 to 1 Swift has a baby in November lol

Considering she's still on her world tour then that would be a complete accident. Perhaps the most expensive one ever made.

She's not gonna dump him if he loses. He wasn't planning on proposing today. It's not a big deal to Swift or her fans if they break up.

They've been together for like half a year. Calm your jets. She's got her own.

Fucking why are more games doing this? Capcom did something like this recently with RE4R. Is yellow like some sort of accessibly coded color used to draw attention to something?

As games increase in fidelity and detail yellow still sticks out. It tells the player "You can interact with this" in a consistent way that can apply to several things across the entire game.

RE4 does it because there are barrels, crates and other stuff placed around the world that you can't touch.

FFVII Rebirth will be doing this because there will be numerous cliffs that you cannot climb.

A toggle isn't going to do much when the game is designed specifically around yellow paint.

Not sure why people get so annoyed about it. Games have always followed a design language for you to follow. Red barrels don't actually explode if you shoot them.

If the cliffs were grey players would be trying to climb the rocks to the ledge because there's no actual reason Cloud himself cannot. You know you can't because the game tells you that you can't.

Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.

As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives. Twisters features an exciting new cast, including Nope's Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane (American Honey), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Nik Dodani (Atypical) and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy).

Isn't this the exact same plot as the original? Just her traumatic tornado event happened in college instead of as a child?

Doesnt he also save him from a fall (or car impact?) in one of the Nolan movies too? Kinda flies in the face of post 23. If anything Batman saves his villains because he essentially cant exist without them. Its a pretty damn unhealthy dynamic.

He nearly runs him over and decides not to at the last second. He also could have killed him by throwing him off a building and doesn't. In both cases he would have murdered him.

But Joker never gets out again in that story so overall arresting him works out fine. The consequence was the lie.

Batman has been around for a century. I'd say there'd be a story about every single way the Batman vs Joker story can continue and end.

One of the funniest things is that the tornado chasers still have crowds of fans following them. You'd think they'd update that in the age of live streaming.

They even still seem to be using traditional cameras even though their fans are using smartphones.

Bill Pullman?

Oh yeah I still do that. You'd think I'd stop.

In the Nolan universe Joker doesn't seem to have ever been released from prison or Arkham. Even with Bane releasing all of the criminals. This lasts until his retirement.

So in one universe it worked!

There's gotta be a joke about Wolverine eventually being replaced by a new actor in the MCU right? At least Deadpool speculating over it lol

Haha are they really gonna start making sequels to those 90s movies that were really popular for whatever reason but nobody talks about them anymor?

I love that their nostalgia callback is putting those metal balls in the tornado. What else would they even have left? Bill Pullman and a cow in a tornado?

Because of her looks? Is she considered attractive? She looks OK but nothing stands out about her.

Compared to her political peers of middle aged and geriatric old men.

The main reason Abby was buff in the game was so she felt different to play compared to Ellie. They wanted her playstyle to feel similar to Joel.

None of that actually matters in the TV show. They can represent her obsession in other ways.

This seems wild to me. Titanic was known as a ridiculously long movie, at the time. So much so that it took up two VHS tapes, when it came out on home media, at the time. I can't imagine enough people saw it more than once in order to cause an over 100% increase in sales. Suggesting ticket sales for Titanic actually amounted to the average person seeing it more than twice seems absolutely crazy, without some kind of proof.

Really? I remember teenage girls who had massive crushes on Leo seeing it over and over being a thing back then.

All of these conspiracy theories about Swift being a Biden agent only for Trump to come out and say "I've made her a lot of money so she's loyal to me!"

I liked my Wii U and thought this at the time. But the Switch absolutely buried the Wii U. It has nearly all of the games.

The games were great. The pace of releases, the third party support and the actual hardware itself was the problem.

Seriously when I have plugged that thing in the last couple of years it's pretty crazy just how slow and clunky it is.

Following the death and potential resurrection of Coyote vs. Acme, there were screenings for interested parties. According to several people familiar with the situation, Netflix, Amazon and Paramount screened the movie (which was received well) and submitted handsome offers. Paramount even proposed a theatrical release component to their acquisition of Coyote vs. Acme that would allow for Warner Bros. to save face and, more importantly, let audiences see the movie the way it was meant to be experienced.

Warner Bros. did not respond to requests for comment from TheWrap.

But Warner Bros., which stood to make $35 $40 million on the tax write-down, wanted something in the ballpark of $75 $80 million from a buyer. And whats more, they wouldnt allow the interested studios to counter Warner Bros. offer. It was a take it or leave it situation, one that the other studios didnt even know they were entering into, insiders told TheWrap.

What made the situation even more appalling is that, according to a source close to the project, the four Warner Bros. executives responsible for making this decision CEOs and co-chairpersons of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, along with Warner Bros. Pictures Animation president Bill Damaschke and embattled CEO and president of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav hadnt even seen the finished version of the movie.

Zaslav never saw the movie at all. De Luca and Abdy saw a directors cut, and Damaschke saw the first audience preview. Significantly, Coyote vs. Acme was developed and greenlit by a previous regime; the only executive that worked on the movie that is still at the company is Jesse Ehrman. These executives, who trumpet a filmmaker-first approach and have recently signed big deals with directors like Ryan Coogler and Paul Thomas Anderson (who conspicuously made their deals after the filmmaker-led backlash to Warner Bros. had subsided), were apparently prepared to trash a movie that theyd never even watched.

This sucks. Seems like they outright just don't want the movie to exist.

I'm guessing they think the Paramount deal would make them look bad. They never intended to give it to anyone.

How long is The Rock gonna stick around for?

Like is he bouncing immediately after Mania or has this opened up an opportunity.

Rock turning heel doesn't mean they're disregarding the opportunity to use him at Mania. It's them reacting to the reactions to the storyline and adjusting it in a way that they think will make them more money, discussion and buzz.

The reality is they're not going to get someone like Hogan, The Rock or Steve Austin ever again. Probably not even a John Cena. So they're going to ride them whenever they have the opportunity.

Because they're carnies. The tickets for this year matter more right now than the tickets 5 years from now. They'll worry about that then.

In reality the allegations thrown at Vince and management should be significantly more damaging than a storyline being shitty but again. It's a carnie business. Standards and morals aren't high on the list.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


They're not doing this for people who follow WWE on social media. They're doing it for the people who see a poster with Rock as a headline and watching WrestleMania as a result of it. The people who haven't been watching this stuff for years.

It's like saying a Call of Duty game is going to flop because the trailer has more dislikes on YouTube. Those people are there regardless.

WWE has always been like this. Even for The Rock they put him up against old ass Hulk Hogan for WrestleMania X8. Go to the very first WrestleMania and they hype up guys like Mr T and Muhammad Ali.

They're carnies. They're not soap opera writers. They're not building an in-depth universe. The show exists to sell tickets and subscriptions. The Rock is the biggest draw for the mainstream who otherwise don't give a shit.

Fuck man they used Donald Trump for WrestleMania. They don't have standards. They don't care that you're booing or are angry. They care that you're watching. They are always like this and always will be.

VeggetaX posted...

This was their plan all along

Why would they get Cody to stand down and then backtrack immediately after if that was the plan?

If it was the plan The Rock coming in as a heel to take the title shot from him by force would have played that angle better.

Is this the first time WWE has actually backtracked this obviously?

Like what's the kayfabe explanation supposed to be? Lol

Is it gonna be Rock vs Cody night one for the title shot and then Cody vs Reigns night two?

Charged151 posted...

You realize most fail, right? It is just a small few games that have succeeded using that model.

Most games fail period.

An ending doesn't necessarily need to be happy for everyone.

But overall I'd say the bigger issue isn't so much about how they continued the plots of those characters. But everything else surrounding it. The two Spider-Man movies after Endgame did really well.

"It's ridiculous that Hollywood won't take any chances."
*happily accepts role in superhero movie*

The reality is it's easier for actors to do stuff they want to do after they make their name in a blockbuster and prove that their name is an asset. It'll help in the long term.

It cracks me up that she's leveraging the promotional tour for Madame Web to talk about how Hollywood is shit.

WrestlinFan posted...

This is definitely gonna hurt Rock's drawing power long term. Might not feel it today, might not feel it tomorrow, but such blatant disregard for their core audience will come back to bite them long term.

The Rock isn't there for the core audience. He's there to draw everyone else.

I don't think anyone gives one shit about his draw power for WWE long term either. He's probably only here because of strikes giving him a bigger gap in his schedule this year.

According to WrestleLamia, the real reason for all this is because "The Rock" would get his $30 million pay day if he gets back in the ring and has his match before the end of the year.

He seemingly wants to "Rush the match" to get paid, even though he doesn't need to have the match at WrestleMania and can probably stand to wait until "Crown Jewel" or any other major PPV to have the match.

Since Dwayne Johnson now has 100% OwnerShip/Control of his name-sake IP "The Rock" and doesn't have to pay WWE for usage of it, he also has significant control / voting power in TKO.

That puts him in higher power than HHH at the moment.

But the main issue is that $30 million pay day that's part of his contractual agreement and he's willing to screw up Wrestlemania for it.

Hopefully, HHH can convince Ari Emanual and the other members to not let "The Rock" run with his ego / greed and try to force his will for that pay out.

This all sounds so silly.

The Rock is the biggest draw they have. By far. They're not gonna use him at some other pay per view. They're not gonna use him for anyone other than Roman Reigns. If Rock is feeling generous maybe he'll give them something with Cody too.

They're doing this because they want to. The controversy over this is putting even more eyes on what they're going to do with Cody and also Rock vs Reigns.

These guys are carnies. Always remember that.

People can complain about the storyline or how they handled Cody or whatever.

But it's nice seeing The Rock talk like this again. He has been that 'nice guy following his dreams and making products for his fans' guy for ages.

Jedi Council: The darkness is growing all around us and growing more powerful. We don't know why. Now excuse us as we lead this massive army of clones that mysteriously materialized without our knowledge or approval coincidentally right around the time we started getting these feelings.

I have a sitting in the backlog but at this point I know they'll announce a remake or remaster as soon as I'm halfway through it.

She's not going to say or do anything at the Superbowl outside of clap, cheer and celebrate.

FolkenRawr posted...

Your topic title is making a helluva assumption. And probably more accurately an excuse.

There's headlines about actors and directors all the time about it. Because fans get defensive over it.

Dakota Johnson seems to not give a shit about Madame Web even though it's her job to promote it.

They also don't need an excuse not to like something lol

And it's on Game Pass which I don't think counts as a sale when someone downloads it so...

Yep that would have been a healthy chunk of change on top of this.

Worked out quite well for them.

It cracks me up that despite all of the begging for Sony to sell Spider-Man to Disney that they are gradually going to benefit long term.

People will always show up for Spider-Man. They will always show up for Batman.

Everyone else? Who knows.

They cant really wait. People age in real time. Might be rough to bring back the guardians, hemsworth, holland, etc 5 years later

Plus endgame really was a good conclusion to only iron mam and debatebly captain america. For everyone else its a mediocre conclusion

Things were fine for the two Spider-Man movies after Endgame. Focusing on continuing or finishing off some arcs for the remaining heroes is overall fine. That's not a big list.

The problem is more that they tried to do that while also introducing several characters across both movies and TV shows all within a short period. It's too much and it barely feels cohesive anymore when that used to be a strength.

I still feel like COVID really fucked them up in a way they haven't been able to recover from.

Like, so many projects had to be moved around, rewritten and reshot and it's kind of changed their whole approach to making movies. I don't know how true it is, but I've heard that a lot of these movies are being filmed without complete scripts and it shows.

The funny thing is they could have taken that opportunity to take a break or slow it down and come back in a big way. They had the perfect opportunity to do that after Endgame.

But they just couldn't help themselves. The push for Disney+ content really made it a lot worse too.

That's seriously the most baffling thing about this phase. It takes so long for proper follow ups. The original Avengers had a much better balance of sequels and crossovers.
