Studio Slump: Lionsgate's Last 6 Films Have All Been Box Office Busts
  • The same indie film that topped the US box office last weekend, Terrifier 3.

  • Studio Slump: Lionsgate's Last 6 Films Have All Been Box Office Busts
  • Maybe if they stop puking the same old garbage on us, we'd want to go to the movies more.

    On friday I went to an indie film premiere and there wasn't an empty seat to be had. It only cost 2 million to make and was one of the best movies I've seen in years. I also regularly visit my local community theatre where they play old gems and its always super busy. People are happy to pay for a nice night at the movies. You just need to provide good content.

  • When your DM has been carefully paying attention to everything you said
  • No its not. Unless Japan released a Hook copycat I don't know about. You can easily use the imdb link above to check yourself. Why lie?

    Takayuka Yamada is not Dante Basco.

  • Let's discuss: Visual Novels
  • Doki Doki Literature Club is the GOAT. Can any VN gamers recommend something similar? Every other VN game I've tried had me wishing it was just a book and quitting before the end.

  • Trudeau says it 'bugged' him when Singh ended governance agreement without calling first
  • Really? The labour party backed out of a deal after the other party busts a big union strike. Anyone could've seen it coming. I doubt Singh felt a phone call was warranted when the libs did something so antithetical to their core principles. It goes against everything the NDP was founded on.

  • He could care less as long as someone'll bleed
  • No, JD Vance has the face of a feral human stranded on an island for wayward kitties. Watched this episode of Metalocalypse immediately before the debate and it made the whole thing far more enjoyable

  • Ubisoft investors push for company sale as shares hit decade-low
  • Please sell it to EA. Sell all the garbage game making companies to the undisputed king of shit so I can have an easier time avoiding shitty games.

  • Your smart TV (probably) sends screenshots to advertisers
  • Shit like this is why my smart tv has never been given internet access.

    The software on my Samsung is so fucked that if I physically switch HDMI connections between inputs, it puts up a screen saying "switching source" despite my new source already being visible on the screen for 3-5 seconds before the tv claims to switch it. One of these days it will piss me off enough to softmod it, but right now I'm too stubborn to spend a day reading how and taking the time to do it.

  • Why don't unions ask for more?
  • Well if you're just reading random CBAs without the context of being a worker within that CBA, there is a lot you're going to miss. Unions are not something you can fully understand from the outside looking in. Generally it's only the executives and officers within a union who have a good idea of how the whole thing works.

    Lets use vacation time as an example. If you read my CBA you will find I earn 10 hours of vacation time a month, or three weeks a year. That may seem low, but my employer gives us two weeks paid off when the business shuts down for Christmas. So 40% of my vacation time is not mentioned in the CBA. My employer is also generous with sick days and none of that is part of the CBA, so you can add another week and a half of time off a year. So my CBA says I'm entitled to three weeks off a year but really I end up getting six and a half.

  • Why don't unions ask for more?
  • No one outside your union can tell you specifically how or why they bargained a certain way. You should get involved more with your union and ask them these questions instead of posting here. Every union is different and they're obligated to explain these things to any member who asks. If any of it discourages you, then it is up to you to educate other members on why you think that's wrong and help get them organized for the next round of bargaining. A union is only as good as its active members.

    If your Canadian union isn't working for you and the above doesn't help, then you file a DFR report with the labour board. Even mentioning DFR (duty of fair representation) should get you service if the union is being adversarial.

  • Mountain Dew rule.
  • Yes but that one guy is an idiot as people have died from drinking less than a quart. https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2015/03/27/no-its-not-safe-to-drink-weed-killer-on-camera-but-who-cares/

  • 5 best eat-the-rich movies, ranked | Digital Trends
  • How can you make a list of the best eat the rich movies without the movie Eat The Rich? How can lemmy stand for this when the movie stars Lemmy of Motorhead?

  • Rattan's newest electric bike has a name you can't say in polite company
  • As a plant nerd, I've said pinus in polite company quite a bit without anyone thinking I was saying penis. Not sure if this article is really an advertisement, or if the journalist is just that stupid.

  • Cop Rule
  • The mask is just there to hide that we're a vassal state of the USA.

  • Cop Rule
  • The biggest consequence was a settlement payment to those mistreated. Which didn't come out of the police budget or pension so basically they got to force the taxpayer to bail them out for their incompetence after the government already paid over a billion dollars for extra security.

  • Like a Dragon creator talks about Sega “flat out rejecting” the first Yakuza game thinking it wouldn’t sell
  • If you enjoy turn based rpgs, you really should give them a try. Infinite Wealth is especially good and you don't need to have played previous games to enjoy it. Not only do they do an amazing job of being funny or dramatic in all the right places, but there is such a wealth of content that you'll regularly get lost in side quests and minigames on your way to completing story tasks.

  • Anyone else doing the Loblaws boycott?
  • I started a permanent loblaws boycott this week. Won't be shopping at any of the other big names either. Preparing to participate in the boycott led me to sign up for a co op that I should've been using all along and I don't see myself ever going back. Anything they don't carry I can get at a local independent grocer and they're usually a little cheaper than no frills anyway.

    Co ops are a solution to corporate greed, use them whenever possible.

  • Boston Creme
  • I haven't gagged this hard at a picture on the internet since my last look at the original rotten.com over 20 years ago. Good job OP!

  • conifers
  • Seems like Michael Scott is suffering from pinus envy

  • What is the strangest song you've heard?
  • Pretty sure The Most Unwanted Song takes the cake on that front. It has bagpipes and opera rap! Good luck listening all the way through. https://youtu.be/-gPuH1yeZ08?si=NRXK7GH9qnDbGt3H
