| Topic | Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC |
| EnterTheTekken 07/21/21 11:17:08 PM #10 | Texas is only joining so they can get in on the TV megadeals and the SEC Network. It's almost a no-brainer for them to join despite sucking for over a decade. --- |

| Topic | Trigger Warning: Is this comedy routine too far? (video) |
| EnterTheTekken 07/21/21 5:41:58 PM #1 | For background if you are not familiar, Ari Shaffir has a history of humor at the most inopportune times. He is probably more known online as the guy who did the "Amazing Racist" routines. He made some comments about the Kobe Bryant passing which I will let you seek out via your search engine of choice. This is an excerpt from his set in the Comedy Cellar. The title says it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7E7T-yJUC4 --- |

| Topic | Aliens was vastly more entertaining than Alien. |
| EnterTheTekken 07/20/21 6:49:18 PM #79 | I'm actually use to the undermining of Aliens so much that it use to get under my skin. Now it's old hat. But still, I swear the people who box-in Aliens as just some mindless action movie with one-liners were either not paying attention or only saw it once, chopped up on cable TV like AMC or TNT. I mean, this movie has multiple themes coming out of every orifice of it that were not really that hard to pick up on. 1st - It expands on the corporatism and greed of Weyland-Yutani, and how companies will sacrifice human capital for profitability via the Burke character (Paul Reiser). He went so far as to not warn the colonists about the Xenomorph that they knew about prior to settlement on that planet, and even to the point where he was going to kill all of the soldiers who survived and cause Newt and Ripley to be implanted with xeno-embryos while preserved in Cryosleep. Male greed is one of the reasons why the situations occur, whether it was schemes from Burke, or Newt's father who competed for discoveries on an uncharted planet, but foolishly got himself infected by a face-hugger, broke quarantine protocols and brought it back to the compound's community. 2nd - It takes the weak and helpless female characterization of the Lambert and Ripley from the first movie and exhibits more of a tough female presence with a more rough-around-the-edges Ripley and the Vasquez character that was not really prevalent in film during that era. They even exhibit it moments in the film, such as Ripley taking leadership of the billy badass space marines, and Vasquez sacrificing herself to save her remaining squad. 3rd - The movie is also about resolving trauma by confronting it head-on. Ripley is besieged by nightmares of the 1st movie's events, and initially rejects Burke's offer to go to LV-426. She realizes the only way to stop her nightmares and unresolved trauma is to not hide, but confront the problem head-on and obtain closure. 4th - The movie is very hubris-focused, as the Space Marines who reduce the situation to "another bug hunt" get their "asses kicked, pal." It shows all their posturing, their muscles, their weaponry and tech, and their machismo and reduces it down to nothing. It's not a coincidence that the only soldier who survived was the one who didn't underestimate his enemy (Hicks) and was willing to be the first one in to help or make the tough decisions (when he saves Ripley and Newt from the facehugger, and has to make the difficult decision to leave the rest of the team behind). 5th - Probably the most important theme is the movie is about motherhood. This is most telling in the nest scene with Ripley encountering the queen. Ripley knows this place is about to go nuclear and dissolve whatever is left of the Xenomorphs. She takes Newt but the Queen won't let her leave. Not until Ripley torches a few eggs to the Queen's dismay. The Queen relents, and let's Ripley walk out. All Ripley had to do was leave with the satisfaction of knowing that her enemy was toast. But she didn't do that...she starts to unload on the nest with fire, rounds, and grenades because she WANTED the Queen Mother to feel what she felt, which was the loss of opportunity to be a Mom since the first movie caused Ripley to get lost in cryosleep & by the time she returned to Earth, her daughter had already lived a full life without her and died. That and Ripley risking live and limb to save Newt, which was her 2nd chance at motherhood. But no, it's just a dumb action movie with bullets and one-liners. JenniferLawrenceOK.gif. --- |

| EnterTheTekken 07/14/21 10:22:50 PM #21 | Questionmarktarius posted... Has that been the biggest cull since the 1986 Transformers film? On film, probably. But on TV, I think Game Of Thrones, Season 6 finale, "The Winds of Winter." That episode moved a LOT of pieces off the board. --- |
| Topic | How much is the Loki actor getting paid per episode? |

| EnterTheTekken 07/05/21 10:27:40 PM #34 | Demon1050 posted... Now be a standup guy and donate 100 Billion ( at least) of your wealth to help those in need. You'd do so much good for the world it's not even funny. And you're just one person....get the fellow billionaires to follow suit. I feel as though a simple Google search would assuage your concerns. --- |

| Topic | Blade actor on Black Widow movie: "I'm embarrased for Scarlett" |
| EnterTheTekken 07/05/21 10:15:57 PM #52 | And ever since ScarJo's first appearance as Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2, she's been critically lauded for her performances in Under The Skin and Her, and was one of the few people in movie history to be nominated twice in the same year for Jojo Rabbit & Marriage Story, both of which she was spectacular in. --- |
| Topic | Jeff Bezos retires with 739,489 times the median American's wealth. |
| EnterTheTekken 07/05/21 9:28:58 PM #12 | And one of the reasons why I save so much money is because of online shopping, an era that Bezos helped usher in with the proliferation of Amazon. Not to mention money saved on products purchased from Amazon directly rather than from other overpriced retailers. --- |
| Topic | Hugh Jackman spotted with Feige. Fans going crazy O_O |
| EnterTheTekken 07/05/21 8:35:42 PM #14 | LightHawKnight posted... Didn't he quit being wolverine due to the insane amount of work he needs to do to get in the muscley shape for the role? Will he come back without CG muscles? Or some sort of creative techniques. I mean, look at Jackman at age 42-43, when Days of Future Past was filmed, which is the last time he had to be super-yoked to be Wolverine:  He's now 52 going on 53 this October, and when the X-men reach the MCU, he'd be nearly 55-56 years old. There's a reason why he wore shirts primarily in Logan & James Mangold used CGI body doubles. Jackman was probably tired of cycling on and off growth and the insane diet/regimen to transform into Swoleverine. It's pretty taxing on your body unless you are someone who does it consistently like The Rock or Stallone. So most likely, an MCU cameo or even more likely, a Deadpool 3 cameo. --- |
