re: Just watched Scream 7 on Paramount+

Scream 7 is the first film in the franchise that I legitimately disliked.

Beautiful girl, too. So sad.

And yes, we did as well as R rated movies
Yep.
I saw Twister, Independence Day, Titanic, Godzilla, Armageddon, and The Mask of Zorro -- all PG-13 movies -- with a parent before I turned 13. My grandfather took me to see The Patriot, my first R-rated film, in theaters in the late-summer of 2000.

People were making a lot less money in 1992 than they are in 2026
Yes, but even accounting for inflation, the average price of a movie ticket would be less than $10. The cost of living as famously not kept up with rising inflation.

That's just weird. We were playing outside not going to the movie theaters every weekend especially during July 4th
As I recall we went to a weekday matinee because my grandmother went with us and that was the only time she’d go to the theater. We also had extended family in town that Fourth of July and I rarely was outside playing when that happened.

I just looked. Mighty Ducks got a 27% on rotten tomatoes. That's one of my favorite movies till this day. Who gives a shite what they think nor did I know or care back in the day. Imagine my parents telling me and my friends couldn't go see MD because some critics said it was one of the worst movies of the year
A movie ticket also cost like $4 in 1992.

My parents never took me to see a PG-13 movie about aliens.
Mine did.
Independence Day (1996). I was nine-years-old.
And depending on your age, PG-13 movies didn't become a thing until 1985-86. So movies like Jaws and Poltergeist, staples of many childhoods on this board, were rated PG instead of the PG-13 rating they would have gotten had that rating existed in the 1970s-80s.
re: Didn’t realize Ratcliffe was tortured & murdered by the indians
Posted by RollTide1987 on 6/13/26 at 12:43 am to hawgfaninc
Ratcliffe was done dirty by Disney in the mid-90s. Rather than the xenophobic, greedy, and authoritarian governor the film Pocahontas portrayed him as, he was actually a peaceable man who wanted nothing more than to trade with the natives of the Pamunkey tribe. It ended up costing him his life in the most violent and painful of ways.

Growing up there was a handful of people reviewing movies and didn't have an agenda. Now every slapdick doesn't have a job and thinks watching movies for a living is a job by videoing themselves and trying to one up the other person so they can get views. People live on these bums every word and already have a preconceived notion going into these movies. They are so addicted to these guys and social media that even if they like the movie they will still side with them majority of the times. It's exhausting and miserable
Growing up a movie probably didn't cost $16 a ticket, not including snacks, for you either. A family of four can easily pay over $100 to go see a movie on a Saturday night in 2026. I'm grateful for these online critics because they help me decide if a movie is worth going to the theater to spend my hard-earned money on or if it's better to wait for streaming.
I'm sorry you don't like living in a world where information regarding films can be accessed with the click of a button, and that we no longer have to wait to read about upcoming films that are in production in magazines like Entertainment Weekly.

social media has brainwashed everyone into having a random internet person tell them how to feel before they go watch movies now. It's truly fried people's brains.
How is that any different from print media employing random film critics to tell us how to feel for the first 80 years or so of the Hollywood studio system? The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I guess I wasn't smart enough for Sorkin to see it. I thought it was just a commentary on an a-hole who became a billionaire before the age of 25.

How many times are we going to go through this? A deal is announced, Iran denies it, and then we start all over again.

People who say shite like this simply assume that the 1920s version of Babe Ruth would plop down next to the plate. They don't factor in how he'd also have access to modern day sports science and nutrition, things that weren't available to him 100+ years ago.
The Catholic Church blesses the tallest cathedral in the world how you'd imagine...
Posted by RollTide1987 on 6/11/26 at 12:46 am
The Basilica of the Sacred Family, located in Barcelona, broke ground all the way back in 1882. On the 100th anniversary of the main architect's death, the central tower - which represents Jesus Christ - has been completed and formally blessed by Pope Leo XIV. The celebration outside the cathedral was nothing short of spectacular as the whole church was lit up for the very first time:

True dat. Artemis III will get barely any headlines when it goes up. The mission might be the most important one so far, but it's staying in low earth orbit so there won't be as much coverage for Artemis III as there will be for Artemis IV.
NASA announces the crew of Artemis III
Posted by RollTide1987 on 6/9/26 at 9:52 pm
This just might be the toughest and most complex mission NASA astronauts have done since the Apollo missions. The mission of the Artemis program's second manned spaceflight will be to successfully test the lunar landing systems the project will employ to land on the surface of the moon while in earth orbit. A lot has to go right for the mission to be deemed a success so that Artemis IV can land here in the next few years.
Here are the four brave souls who have been chosen to carry out that mission:
Of course you have your usual suspects screaming on social media about there being too much testosterone in this photograph.
