When I was 17 I was in a punk band, and we were invited to play at this rich kid's birthday party. Turns out it was a super religious family.
4 years later that kid and his girlfriend jumped off a waterfall and died. I guess he was more punk rock than we thought.
Dwayne Johnson is facing backlash for staying quiet on politics, with "Star Trek" icon George Takei telling him that "silence is complicity" and "Stand By Me" actor Wil Wheaton adding: “So disappointing to find out he is such a coward.”
Johnson told Fox News in 2024 that he regretted endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020 because it caused division amongst his fans, adding at the time: “My goal is to bring this country together. I believe in that. There will be no endorsement. At this level of influence, I will keep my politics to myself. It is between me and the ballot box.”
The blockbuster actor expanded on his newfound aversion to political talk by telling Esquire this month: “What I have learned through experience is that I need to keep — need, not want — the main thing. And the main thing for me, the thing that in the morning I swing my legs out of bed and I run towards, is creating. It’s art. It’s storytelling. I’ve learned I’m going to keep my politics to myself. There are moments when, hey, there’s nothing we can’t talk about. If I’m wrong, I’ll tell you I’m wrong. Or if I feel like I got a leg up and this is the right way to go, I’ll share it with you. Politics is omnipresent and it’s forever. I don’t like it. I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bullshit that comes with it.”

yes this christian father of four pays for premium youtube in addition to all of his other subscriptions because he pays too much in taxes and doesn't want to take his family of 6 to see a movie which will cost $3,000
@lanterncast It's not just about being lazy. It's about pricing a comic based on the fact that you brought it to them to ask how much it was. This is flea market seller mentality. If the books come in "too fast" and are put out anyway, then they haven't checked the books condition yet either.
@Dexerto If you're getting that many ads, it's because either the stream has set their ad manager to run ads with high density OR they are doing so manually.
spent way too much time splicing together two different youtube videos about a star trek next generation meme that no one remembers (data's poem to his cat)
worst case scenario: you listen to some nerd online saying a movie is good because "contrarianism", but it isn't.
also worst case scenario: you listen to some nerds online saying a movie is bad because "politics" but it isn't.
it's a movie ticket not the end of the world
I Rant for an Hour on Why I Hated Supergirl. Did my opinion change on my 2nd Viewing? No. In fact it got WORSE! All of the moments that bothered me most & analyzing its pending Box Office Failure and what it means for the future of DCU! https://t.co/IGS2PYF2Ze RT & Share Plz!
@KevinWolffart I loved how at the end of the second Superior Spider-Man run he had to strike a deal with Mephisto. Mephisto said he would restore Ock to perfect health... including mentally. Implying that mental illness caused by the tentacles was never real!
@KevinWolffart First: Doc was seen doing a variety of "good" things even during this era of comics. Of course it always devolves to "I was curing coke addiction but only to sell coke back!" but still.
Second: I hated when comics writers thought they were novelists. Holy thought baloons batman.
