Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Possibly blinded by being in a DINK household of middle-aged online shoppers. I'd wager a good amount of kids dragged their parents in with them, since like I said, even though it's easily something a 9-year-old would be able to handle, the movie's still PG-13. That and it's a Blumhouse horror movie released around Halloween, so you're gonna get a good chunk of "tis the season" impulse buys at the box office. I was wondering why Disney released the new Haunted Mansion movie earlier in the summer rather than wait until Halloween, but now it's fairly obvious they had low confidence in it and didn't want Freddie to completely eat their lunch. Parents can only handle one iffy-quality kid-friendly horror movie in a short period of time.

Disney releasing a movie based around the Haunted Mansion was such a weird decision. Then, I learned that they are making a movie based around Space Mountain and remembered that they already released movies based on Tomorrowland and Jungle Cruise, so someone at the Disney creative office is clearly committed to the bit and willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to finish out the gag.

Listen, the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise means that the people yearn for multi-movie franchises based on Disney world rides, please ignore every single attempt at doing this we've done since then, those don't count.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Possibly blinded by being in a DINK household of middle-aged online shoppers. Kids have two parents at least one of which they will have dragged along. Also people can see a movie more than once. As the mother of a kid was both traumatized and fascinated by fnaf back in the day, yes, it’s that popular and has been for a decade. Not Minecraft popular but it’s up there and has gone through about ten years of grade schoolers.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Do you think that the discovery of salt as a delicious rock precipitated a surge in rock eating fatalities? tasting minerals was a part of studying them for ages. still is as long as you know what to avoid tbh. phosphoric acid is the first one that comes to mind. you drink that i guess but you know what i mean. there's a few salts besides NaCl that are edible, and minerals that are a physical mix of salt and some other edible mineral, usually sulfur compounds. saltpeter, himalayan black salt (even though it tastes like a fart smells), etc. lead acetate used to be known as "lead sugar" and used to be used as a sweetener. in ancient rome, it was used indirectly, by boiling acidic foods in a lead vessel. (not as much as people say.) later it was made by dissolving white lead in vinegar but by that point it was known to be a deadly poison, so it was mainly used as a cheap (and generally illegal) adulterant or, well, a deadly poison. chalk and gypsum are edible and are sometimes used as filler. not especially tasty but good for a stomachache i guess. and people have used lye and limewater for various kinds of food prep and sometimes those are made from minerals rather than kiln ashes. Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Disney releasing a movie based around the Haunted Mansion was such a weird decision. it's a remake. the first one had eddie murphy and a bunch of british actors. the only other thing i can remember about it other than that it was boring is "oh poo poo that's wallace shawn" Cease to Hope fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Nov 6, 2023 |

In every Blumhouse horror movie there is a pinpoint-able moment where the writers go "Eh gently caress it, they're gonna sit through the rest of this regardless". Sometimes it can get away with doing that, but not often.

Continuing to post on SA is like being a once-proud, but slightly pathetic elderly beast in the pack. Once, long ago, you were important and unavoidable. But now, since you don't actively start beef with 15-year-olds on instagram stories or follow Just Chatting drama channels, you cannot be cognizant of the true threats around you, and will be the first to go in the event of any widespread overt struggle.

Some friends and I got drunk and watched the 90s super Mario bros movie and it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be based on its reputation. I might just be old but I miss the days when bad movies still needed physical set design and props and everything. These days you see a bad movie and the actors are in a CGI mud pit or crappy screensaver or whatever.

The Super Mario Brothers movie is where they canonically decided that their names were Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. It had Dennis Hopper in a wild wig and prosthetics. Homer Simpson narrates the movie. It featured dinosaur strippers with rocket boots. It had Johnny Legs playing Luigi. loving Fisher Stevens plays a mentally handicapped turtle man who becomes Flowers of Algernon'd into a genius and has an existential crisis. The lady from Fern Gully plays a sexy ball of fungus. They recorded original songs for it. They have an extended scene where a very masculine woman in 8-inch spiked heels jams BAFTA Award-winning actor Bob Hoskins' face into her cleavage while chanting "Everybody stop and roar, let's all do the dinosaur." The Goombas were monstrous and an important plot point of the movie involves Mario sexually pleasing a wall of fungus. Bowser comes to the real world with a devolution gun that turns people into monkeys. 10/10. No notes. Great movie.

The fact that Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo were apparently plastered for most of the filming only adds to the experience.

Bob Hoskins' depression and hatred for that movie for killing his career and causing him to get dropped from Shakespeare productions is a little sad, but also amazingly funny.quote:“I didn’t even know it was a game,” he said. “It was my kids that told me. They said, ‘What’s your next film’, and I said ‘Super Mario Bros.’ ‘Oh, that’s the game.'” Hoskins had no idea what his kids were going on about, so they showed him the video game. “And I saw this thing jumping up and down,” he said, “and I thought [sobering, Chris Pine-style pause], I used to play King Lear.” quote:Making Super Mario Bros. was a “fuckin’ nightmare.” quote:In 2011, Hoskins participated in a Q&A interview with the Guardian. When the actor was asked to name the worst job he ever agreed to, he replied, “Super Mario Brothers.” quote:Hoskins and John Leguizamo, who played Luigi, would get drunk between takes, “a habit that may have contributed to Hoskins breaking a finger during a driving stunt,” the Guardian theorized. He also told Entertainment Tonight that “if you’re going to survive this film, you’re going to have to be very, very careful… I got stabbed four times. Electrocuted. Broke a finger. Nearly got drowned. And that’s just what happened to me.” quote:I stopped getting calls for BAFTA and Oscar roles. They would just say, "Oh, it's the Mario guy. He used to be a big deal."

Someone my wife knows: - Was arrested for DUI while standing around at a gas station. - Blew a 0.0 on the breathalyzer. - They thought he must have been on drugs and arrested him to take a blood test. - The blood test came back clean and they dropped the charges. Apparently, someone else at the gas station called the cops on him because they thought he was drunk and about to drive away. He says he was "just filling up my car and cursing a lot because I was mad at my boss." I really want to see how erratic you have to be while standing there filling up your car for someone to call the police on you because they are afraid you're about to DUI and several witnesses/the cop are convinced that you are on something despite blowing a 0.0 and having a clean blood test.

Bar Ran Dun posted:Extremely unhinged and visibility extremely agitated. Yeah, but how? I'm trying to picture a situation where you can be so unhinged standing still and filling up your car that multiple people think you are on drugs/drunk and call the cops. Maybe I am just desensitized to crazy people because I have seen multiple people poop on a commuter train and then just hang out, but I can't imagine what someone who is completely sober could be doing while also standing still that would cause me to be so concerned that someone called the cops. He is probably downplaying how he was "just cursing," but still pretty wild. I have seen many a DUI case, but getting a DUI while 100% sober in every way and standing around at a gas station is a new one for me.

Also bear in mind that gas station attendants probably just have a hair trigger on someone who could potentially be a danger and call the cops to be safe. And the cops don't care if you're not breaking law This Is America.
