This made me curious what the highest rated 3-film stretch is for the MCU according to RT, and it’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, & Black Panther, with a 93.7 average. These below would be the 6th highest, but the highest run not including any movie I just mentioned
“Weird Al” Yankovic turned down a million-dollar offer to perform in Saudi Arabia because "I don’t need to take any amount of money if it makes me feel icky."
"I was invited to the Riyadh Comedy Festival, which is something that I obviously did not want to do. They offered me, I’m not going to say how much, but it was seven figures to do one show, which is way more than I’ve ever been offered in my life to do a show. But I just couldn’t be part of that. I’m not dissing anybody that took the money because I’m sure everybody that went there got a lot of money. I’m sure they had their own reasons and justifications for doing it. But I’m doing enough that I don’t need to take any amount of money if it makes me feel icky, and that kind of did.” (via TribLive)

A tourist was seriously injured after a bison tossed them about 8 feet into the air in Yellowstone National Park. The attack was captured on video by photographer Mike Macleod.
Insane that Modern Family was on for over a decade, was so huge at its time, and had zero cultural impact. No quotes-turned-shorthand, no staying power
Weird Al Yankovic pulled out of a commercial on which he was making a "nice pile of money" after discovering it was for AI.
“I’m not going to mention any names, but they told me it was for a business. It was business software that would increase productivity. I said, ‘Oh well, yeah, sure, I could do that.’ And then a week before we’re supposed to shoot it, I find out this is AI. And I thought, ‘Oh no, I can’t be the poster boy for AI, forget it.’ So I felt bad about kind of pulling out at the last minute. But yeah, I’m not down with that.”

Spin the wheel of qbs and select one aspect of their game until you have a complete player, then simulate the season to see how they would do. Put a lot of work into this one so would appreciate if you guys checked it out.

This is a very bad take, not least of which because it says the DCU is less hopeful than the MCU because the characters start in bad places. Phase 1 of the MCU begins with Iron Man getting blown up, Hulk on the run, Thor getting banished from Asgard, and Cap frozen in ice.
James Gunn's "Superman" starts with him broken and bleeding on the ground.
James Gunn's Supergirl starts with her broken and drinking to escape her pain - and now she's GAY too.
James Gunn's Peacemaker is a suicidal, bisexual, daddy-issue-riddled drug addict who can barely function.
See the pattern?
The new DCU is a PESSIMISTIC downer universe.
Nobody starts happy.
Nobody is at the top of their game.
Everybody is damaged, traumatized, or failing right from the start.
Gunn could have created an MCU-style universe where the movies work together building towards a massive payoff like "Infinity Wars"/"Endgame."
Instead he created downtrodden characters nobody wants to spend time with.
And this is why Gunn's DCU is FAILING.
Because people pay to ESCAPE real-life depression and failure for two hours.
Gunn drags us right back into it.
And his ever-dwindling box office numbers prove me right, don’t they?
