HAIL Satan indeed. 🤘 Also Eris and Discordia as a different type of devilment is at work.

Awangistan?

It said microplastics.

Excellent, it’s the one I voted for.

Yes, there’ a 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition out, although most of the extras aren’t that worth having (it doesn’t even have a booklet) and they’ll, hopefully, make a standard 4k at some point.

Last point: as a non-native European, I never really paid attention to the English-speaking social media being very US-centric, hopefully that’s a bias we can correct here on Lemmy.

I’m working on it. And there are Canadian and Australian instances doing their bit too.

They are pumping it full of plastic.

Definitely give it a spin.

I wanted a source that backed up what you said.

Thanks, there’s some funny business with the link - should be working now.

Lockdowns help highlight a lot of “just because it’s what you do, not because it’s actually good” things for people.

Lockdown hit entertainment venues across the board as people found it cheaper and more convenient to just stay at home. The manager of my local pub says a chunk of his clientele just never returned. The cost-of-living crisis has just made it worse as prices soar.

Theatres are generally awful.

I have excellent options where I am - a community-run cinema a few minutes away and a multiplex 15 minutes away (that has reclining seats, good air cin, plenty of space, etc and I have a monthly pass which hammers the price down - I usually cover the cost in a week).

Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass.

Having it spread over 7 communities kills activity rather than keeping 1 community alive.

Having three dad communities on lemmy.world is weird and needs sorting out but one of the advantages of subject-specific instances is that they can give a different spin to a topic.

On English-speaking social media, it all tends to become very US-centric - the UK (and, presumably, Canadian, and, hypothetically, an Australian one) allows for people to have more local discussion as the logistics (schools, benefits, the legal system, etc) can be very different.

By the same token, I wouldn’t want all the other dad communities merged into the feddit.uk one (which is the most active, despite the Mod being AWOL, which is easily fixed) as it isn’t just a general dad’s discussion, although all dad’s are welcome, of course.

Except, this community is more active than that one. I didn’t spot that the Mod was inactive because everyone else keeps it ticking over. We can always add a new Mod.

Ultimately this is for the dads on here to decide - you can keep using this community if you want to (it has a handy UK soin on things when you tend to find a lot of English-speaking social media is US-focused) but if you all shift over there and this quietly dies, we can shut it down.

As one commentator says, they’re over-complicating it - they just need to create stories people want to see, not feel they have to in order to keep up or because the franchise holder needs X amount of content a year. If people are force-fed from the corporate sausage machine then they tend not to like it. I’m pumped to see Deadpool and Wolverine, as I was for GotG 3 and The Suicide Squad. Most other Marvel movies (and most of their TV shows) have been about introducing or reworking characters for some future project, not about telling a great story this time around. I’m still enjoying most Star Wars TV shows but Kenobi was awful because it felt so corporate-mandated - let’s rework that film we mothballed into streaming content. In fact that problem arose because Disney decided that, come-what-may they were going to have a Star Wars film a year and it all went horribly wrong because they didn’t bother with an actual plan for the Sequel Trilogy. It’s just amazing we got a great film out of it (although with hasty reshoots) and a decent one (more Donald Glover as Lando please). And don’t get me started on the Sony Spider-Man Universe!

Meanwhile, everyone involved in Deadpool and Wolverine seem pumped that they get to tell this story, James Gunn has been given a free hand to make the films he wants to see and if they form part of a franchise then that’s gravy - not the point (you’d better not let my down now Gunn!).

It’s not “superhero fatigue” it’s “almost nobody fucking stays home from the theater when they’re interesting infectionsly sick” fatigue.

I go to the cinema a lot (5 times this week, but that’s because I’m doing the Lord of the Rings trilogy over three days) and never caught Covid - big cinemas have good air conditioning and I’ve yet to have anyone coughing and spluttering during a screening. Meanwhile, my friends keep passing Covid around the pub like it’s free cake.

I think “superhero fatigue” is in large part “write a film I give a shit about fatigue”. Marvel especially have been writing films that serve the franchise rather than telling story creators want to make and people want to see - BP 2 was the worst example of that. The best recent examples are GotG 3 and The Suicide Squad (which have me optimistic about DC’s upcoming output), with an honourable mention going to Shang-Chi (although it threw it away in the last act by making it a standard CGI slugfest).

Do you know how I would go about buying and filling a muck spreader.

You can hire one from any number of places, like here. I quite like the side discharge spreader for drive-bys as long as you knew the range.

To fill it try a pig farmer as they usually have large ponds of the stuff they want rid of - chicken shit or bull shit are also available for symbolic reasons.

Plus Rishi Sunaks home address would be a totally unrelated useful fact to share.

His home has already been vandalised as I assume the address is in the electoral register. I was quite surprised they got through security and I assume it’s been tightened up since. Driving a large farm vehicle at the house seems quite a good way to get shot.

I’m aware of the tunnel and at no point would it “destroy Stonehenge”. There are concerns that construction might harm as yet undiscovered parts of the wider ritual landscape.

Might be a you problem as I just subscribed.

The first 10 minutes might be the best bit - you can feel your IQ drain away as the film continues.
