Roxxon probably has gotten mining rights for it and it's just a nub now. All that marble.

STAC Goat posted:I wa sthinking of Guardians 2 when Ego was activating his seeds and some midwestern town just started getting eaten by the earth horrifically and like no one was around to explain why that happened. RIGHT, god drat there are so many horror movies happening in the MCU that aren't being made cause the camera is on the superheroes. I just saw Nope last night and it was so good, but insanely stressful and at times horrifying, and it made me think "jesus I wish they'd had like a Hulk or a Thor to handle this" because of how it felt like a horror scenario that could have appeared in the MCU.

I'd be OK if a future marvel movie takes place near the dead celestial and it's just in the background and no one comments on it

They should replace the end credits teasers with fans who explain odd stuff in the previous films and Feige awards them a No-Prize. My submission: Ant-Man has since shrunk the Celestial way down.

STAC Goat posted:Tourism in the MCU must be its own thing. There’s that town in middle America that got blobbed. That place in Europe that got ripped into the sky. That town a witch possessed for a month. A random stone band coming out of the ocean is almost quaint in comparison. It’s probably talked about with the sphinx while that other stuff is like Nuremberg and Chernobyl. I dunno, didn't people see the Celestial talking to them at the end, or was that a "Only the Eternals can see it" thing? I'd be freaked out of my gourd way more by an alien life form that size just casually appearing on earth.

No the people in the park saw the celestial. But it looked like a small group so most people would think they're just more crazies

It occurs to me: how do those shrink/grow pods know what to affect? Like how does it know "this is a car, only shrink whatever is in this car shaped space" instead of shrinking everything within, say, a 1 meter sphere? How would the pod shrink the Celestial and not just part of it, or a bunch of stuff around it? I know the answer is "comic books" and "Pym Particles" but I'm curious if it's ever been addressed anywhere

But if you’d lived through green dudes wrecking Harlem, a Space Viking leading an alien invasion of New York, a mad AI destroying a European country, elves in space ships wrecking London, giant dudes pootling about San Fran, a purple dude with a ballsack chin dissolving you and/or a bunch of people you know for 5 fuckin’ years, and a load of elementals going mental in Europe, I’d imagine you’d look at some giant space dude showing up and think “eh, must be Tuesday.”

Just have a scene of Earth from space and you can see the celestial on a corner, just a little easter egg I'm a really big fan of the celestials visuals since it reminds me so much of xenoblade

I took my kid to Super Pets and it's pretty good. Not the greatest animated movie of all time but pretty decent, definitely a kid's movie but it's pretty funny and was entertaining. Also Marc Maron plays Luthor which is hilarious in and of itself

FlamingLiberal posted:There were a lot more outdoor projection movie showings here during Covid, but I just don't think it was really feasible to build a drive-in theater that fast. It also probably would have died within a year or so since for the most part people are going back to theaters almost like normal. To be honest, I think I just prefer the drive-in at this point. I'm probably in the minority, and obviously living in a part of Illinois where I hit miles of cornfields if I drive more than 20 minutes in a given direction helps with a drive-in theater actually still being a thing in my area. But honestly, it's just nice. It's cheaper, the concessions are better, my family can chat a little bit or make jokes about the movie, there's an intermission with every movie so we can pee without missing anything...maybe I've just finally turned into a hick, but honestly, it's just a more pleasant experience.

My current city used to have a drive in theater on the edge of town, and for sure it was an experience. Usually it was a double feature with either two big summer blockbusters, or sometimes something older that was related to the newer movie. Before the movie kids would run around and play in the grass in front of the screen, well in advance of the movie so they would usually be quiet by the time the movie came on. And if not, who cares, you just rolled up the windows and tuned the radio to the AM station that was broadcasting the audio. Our drive in had a copy of the old "Let's all go to the lobby" intermission reels, with goofy 60's era animation. When the hot dog did a flip everyone would honk their horns (not a euphemism). And if you didn't want the typical hot dog, pop corn, soda, candy, etc., you just brought in whatever you wanted. And if it was some lovely McDonalds, that's fine, because all the stink is trapped in your car, not bugging the other patrons. I do miss it, but the market was simply not there. Place was razed to the ground probably 10 years ago.

There was a bit of a drive-in resurgence early on, but just projecting onto existing structures because nobody was going to spend money on that. Plus movies weren't being released so there's only so many people who wanted to leave their houses during a pandemic to watch a bad display of an old movie.

Yeah, agreed. We have one about twenty-ish minutes away that has amazing BBQ sandwiches and milkshakes. The experience is worth the heart disease.

I just googled to confirm I was right about Australia and they actually still exist in Australia today, but only twelve are regularly open and operating in the whole country right now. At least two of them are run by volunteers/community groups that only open sporadically and aren't actual businesses. They apparently also existed in Italy, Greece, Iran, the Philippines, and Germany for a while, but basically don't exist in any of those places for various reasons now.

Drive-In Movie Theaters are like Libraries for me in that their potential extinction turns me full conservative "It's a sacred American institution!" regardless of the fact that I don't use them. Our Drive-In is finally closing so if there was a pandemic surge, it wasn't enough to save it (I only went once so it's my fault)
