I hate that they added Johnny Depp to the ride.

have you been on the ride since Johnny Depp was added?

Yes, and it’s dumb.

was it dumb before? i mean, its a kids ride right?

It had heart. This was a soulless merchandising tie-in.

Soulless merchandising tie-in at a Disney theme park? That seems new, right?

Nonetheless, they should leave well enough alone.

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

I’ve decided to cut off that one friend I mentioned in this thread earlier. After not being able to get a hold of them for five days after inviting them to hang out, well, that was enough. It’s kind of a bummer because I find them really interesting, personally, but since they treat me like shit, I’m not sticking around. I wish it were easier to meet new people.

I didn’t realize Mark’s Down was a she.

She revealed her gender shortly after returning from her hiatus, IIRC.

She also revealed her hair color shortly thereafter.

How is this relevant to the discussion?

Or if you prefer the same question worded differently, why bring it up?

I thought it was memorable.

Probably just busy. I don’t recall her mentioning anything that would be the cause of concern. Now, if she doesn’t show up in the next month or two, then maybe we worry. But folks come and go as they please. Many will be gone for years without anyone mentioning it, and then they’ll show up again like no big deal, like ChainsawAsh for instance.

I watched both when they were in theaters. I enjoyed both, but expected Boyhood to swamp all the awards, so rooted for Birdman because I felt it was the underdog and more entertaining. Boyhood was an experience, but one I wouldn’t really want to revisit.

Everything is a product of its time.

But some more than others. I once again point to how Superman, although made 10 years earlier, ends up being much more timeless.

I mean, you may not be wrong, but you can’t tell me that Superman doesn’t ooze the seventies at some moments as well.


Fair enough. I guess what I’m trying to say is Batman feels like a movie of its time rather than a Batman movie, while Superman feels more faithful to the character. Superman is the first thing I’d point to if someone wanted me to explain the character, while Batman isn’t. It’s still a solid movie and I really enjoy it to this day.
