Superman and Spiderman also in the running

Karl Ravech strikes me as the big name from the list.

I used to watch him regularly years ago. Unless he's a secret a-hole I guess it was just a salary decision

Seeing the girl on the beach when the Blue Angels flew over, with no tattoos, was so refreshing.

I noticed more women without tattoos on some trips abroad and thought that was the best argument going for dating women from another country. Skin is just so beautiful without tattoos

Finally something that Silicon Valley didn't predict

Kige the mentioned films in the thread. Especially Dead Calm and the Jurassic Park

A movie that people didn't take very seriously but actually holds up based on the dialogue is Sirens. Granted it got attention because Elle MacPherson was very naked in it. But the dialogue between Hugh Grant and the idealistic young women in Sam Neil's house was more substantial than I realized on the first viewing.

RIP to a man who radiated decency. I'm sure you saw Montana and they will miss you

Some of this made me laugh

I'm not surprised it did poorly but I really felt like a 4th of July weekend would have generated more sales for a traditionally family oriented superhero. I think it must be getting killed by poor word of mouth

Make a movie “targeting Gen Z women”

2. 60% of your audience is men, Gen Z women don’t show up

3. Blame… men?

Do what?



Yeah

It amounts to a completely unfalsifiable way of looking at the world It's another contingent of just useless rage immune to reason.

If it doesn't suck people will want to see it. You put the movie in the hands of a person who hadn't earned it and doesn't know how to make a compelling story. Even when there are dozens of decent Supergirl stories to choose from.

The lack of accountability will likely be both breathtaking and completely unsurprising

---

The lack of accountability part is apparently just getting worse. Gunn and his boss have both decided to go to blame misogyny route.

The Gunn DC universe is cooked if that's really the way they judge the response to Supergirl internally. Also, there were bits about the Supergirl character somehow not landing with the female audience.

The latter part would allow for some helpful introspection if they took a step back and realized the character they designed wasn't appealing. Blaming misogyny is probably a cope or a purely cynical tactic to try to retain control and dismiss criticism instead of a moment to address the failures of their creative processes.

Scent of a Woman may have been the worst of it. That is the movie I think of when I think of what a ham Pacino is.

---

That or his "she's got a great arse!" line in Heat.

Honorable mention for The Devil's Advocate although that part lent itself more to the ridiculous acting

quote:

---

You’re training your algorithm to show you things that will make you mad.

A bigger danger than most of the “threats” in here. People simultaneously believing “everyone is against me” and “everyone agrees with me”.

100%

And this is a problem with the mainstream media as well. The difference between the BBC and Fox News is gigantic.

The compartmentalization of media allowed for market capture for a specific slice of the total audience but the media also became captured by their audience.

That is, a self radicalization of reporting with the good team identified or supported and the bad team mocked in the form of a straw man. The audience now complains and punishes their media if they stray from a party aligned narrative.

To know something resembling the truth you have to watch multiple opposing media because I don't think any of them tell the whole truth about 95% of stories.

Lane is a great hire for LSU, but he has his own little issues both on and off the field and I know most LSU fans are aware of that and have admitted as such. He’s very hit or miss about certain things, and I know he will drive some LSU fans INSANE with some of his bonehead 4th down calls. Dude has a proclivity for just being obtuse on those, and also just some character issues off the field. Lol, the stories from people I know that knew him at Alabama were enough to make me relieved he wasn’t staying all those years ago, and is why I was pretty sure he wouldn’t be in the running after Saban retired, but it’s possible he's cleaned up his act.

Agreed with all of that. He's a gamble and could be a great hire.

He's a great offensive mind and built a great team before leaving Ole Miss. Before his last year there he arguably missed some big opportunities.

The maturity to elevate a program into either a consistent winner or a championship team is the hope but not yet demonstrated.

His troll game is world class but that's not what you get paid for.
