Top Gun

Seriously, our balls can only get so blue.

And nothing of value was lost.

The Empire State Building's Twitter account reposted it though:

*sitting President is a practicing Catholic* "Democrats hate religious people!!!1"

"This is fine."

I wonder if the pressure being off is going to wind up benefiting Warnock. Now Walker's camp can't use the whole "vote for him to take the Senate!" angle to drive turnout.

Dat red tinkle doe.

I like how good ol' Newty is bewildered by the fact that nominating terrible batshit-insane candidates for public office makes people not want to vote for them.

The best part about playing the Arkham games was listening to Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill play off each other again. It was like being transported back to my childhood.

This one fucking hurts. 😢

Right into my veins.

Hey, Klein was best girl.

I just threw mine in the mailbox a few weeks ago. Of course the state GQP raised a total bitch-fest about ballots where people didn't fill out the date...even though it'll get a damn postmark anyway.

"UnevenEdge: Musk-free since 2016!"

Movies often have different production committees than the series proper. They may have higher licensing fees placed on them by the license-holders, especially if the movie is a huge hit in Japan, or there may be other sorts of bullshit stipulations that we aren't privy to. Maybe one of the companies in the production pie is an out-of-touch curmudgeon who isn't interested in offering TV rights for a film in the first place. As to why it was made as a movie, probably because the arc it adapts is about the right length for one, and (if I'm remembering correctly) at the time the manga hadn't yet advanced to the point where they could get away with another full-fledged season. Plus it had a huge setpiece fight that really benefited from a movie budget.

Recutting anime movies into parts of TV seasons usually makes for terrible television, though. I'm not the biggest Demon Slayer fan, but I've heard that the TV version of Mugen Train stretches the hell out of everything to the point where it just kills the flow. Which makes sense, because a movie isn't meant to be artificially chopped up into 20-minute blocks. Dawn of the Deep Soul worked fantastically as a movie, and I'd never want to see that done to it. It's not the movie's fault that TV licensing is a bitch.

Things are looking up!

I just rewatched the movie last night. ...I need a hug now.

Or maybe he's just a bigoted piece of shit.

You could not pay me enough to go on a cruise. Just one giant Petri dish.

It's almost like the American electorate are a bunch of drooling morons.

Well yeah, that much is a given. There's no need to drag a really good other movie down to make that point though.

Not only that, but gee, why would a movie released in March of 2021 underperform at the box office? Gee, can't imagine. It was the third-most-streamed movie of 2021 and has a 94% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes.
