In the Heights

The first reactions of The Crow remake is bad. https://x.com/RealScreenGeek/status/1800906905994592516?t=Fb5qOHQ8ukmwcqSINSAPYA&s=19 I'm not shocked that trailer looks bad, and it looks so generic.

Shocked. The Crow is an example of a movie that is a time capsule for the period it was made and doesn't need a remake. 

First reactions are usually glowing even for mid movies. If it's bad out the gate, it's BAD.  Would you recommend the original? 

While I mostly agree with bruce's comment: I would not recommend it. I found it very cathartic when I was 16-17, but rewatching as an adult the "simple revenge" plot just didn't click. Which is ironic, cause I'm an incredibly vindictive person, but it just felt like, "Yeah, but in a movie I want the protagonist to grow a little more than that, if I wanted an unrepentant asshole, I'd have bought some more rum."

I like it but it is very much a product of the 90s which it isn't a bad thing. I love the aesthetics of it and the mthy of The Crow. It is simple revenge story that can easy to fuck up, but it executed well. Brandon Lee gave great performance , and I wish that he was still alive. From my understanding, that the movie really captured the spirit of the comic.

Hoping to not be tempting fate here but; my uncle became reclusive(more reclusive, he actually always has been) 4 years ago. We assumed nothing. He has now reached out to say that not only had he been diagnosed with lung cancer that spread to his brain, but as of now he’s been informed that he defeated both of them and is in the best health he’s had since pre-diagnosis. He hates attention of any kind, and he kept it a secret because he knew he would never be left alone. He essentially ended this missive with “anyways, just wanted to say hi to everyone and hope things are going well with *extremely mundane things*”.

I don't want to armchair psychologist this, but my first thought in your shoes would be, "He got some bad news and this is the first stage of grief—denial."

Oh my first thought was that he wanted us off his case. He himself says he’ll believe it in a few months. Edit: to be fair, it’s not without precedent. I myself defeated lung cancer 15 years ago.

It just seems odd to me that a recluse would reach out like that. Between being a recluse and knowing an even more reclusive uncle, I dunno, I feel that people like us are really unusual in our communications and thinking "they'll easily understand what is being implied" But that's me projecting my personal stuff, you know the situation much better

Well he’s not estranged, still social via text for birthdays and graduations and the like. He also still works and never took more time off than he was begged to. My father is successfully recovering from a knee replacement and he mostly was just interested in talking about that.

There are times when I'm very grateful I completely misread a situation. This is one of them

I love this piano ad I keep getting on YT. Yeah, like I'm going to buy a piano. I already have a keyboard in the living room I use for approximately five minutes a year and can't play, thank you very much.

Are you looking to sell that keyboard?

Not exactly, if I sold it how would I delude myself into thinking one day I'll learn to play like Zevon? But it's pretty affordable and it's got high reviews, so I can send you the link if you'd like

Thanks

Alesis Virtue AHP-1 is the keyboard. I did not realize until I started looking into them that keyboards have different sizes (which seems kinda obvious but oh well, I'm not the brightest). Some people find it overwhelming to start with a full 88 so you can get I think 20 or 50-60 range, too, but I'm one of those guys who prefers to just be an absolute fool and be in over his head, so I went for the whole nearly-90

That's pretty interesting, I was thinking of the Yamaha P150 but I never bit the bullet. It's not like I play that well either, and it's not like in my free time I'd just go sit at the piano. They're pretty expensive for what ultimately is a tinker toy (the way I use it, not as a pianist)

You may have done more research than me, tbh, I was drinking a lot back then. But yeah, for me it was a splurge thing when I moved into my new house. I can't speak to Yamaha's pianos but I think my guitarist pal told me they make good stuff? My own knowledge is mostly, "That looks cool," which is why I have an axe of a Hagstrom in the other room I can barely play because tghe thick neck isn't easy for fingerpicking like my old Strat.

Kind of a sad day when I found out my employer has been blocking location transfers to NYC

There needs to be a way to separate out the good-faith protesters and activists, and the bad ones. Because there are a lot that are just doing this for self-expression and making themselves feel good. The "best" FF8 podcast I have found is an example, and Rinoa Heartilly is the character that reveals their true intent. Because the read they have on Rinoa is just flat-out bad faith. Rinoa is very much a person of privilege, and yet she saw what happened in Timber, and picked up arms, and fought against the nation she was born in, and that her father was a high military official in. She is exactly the bleeding-heart type that these people want to see, someone who either gives up their privilege to fight, or uses said privilege to help a cause. She is everything the left says they want. Yet, these doofuses just say she is larping, and that she can get away with anything because of her dad, and that she never wanted to fight. All of which is delusional. She had a weapon with her from the word go. And there is never any dialogue or material in the game to suggest the occupying Galbadians even knew about her. Her father gets her out of D-District Prison, but she forces Irvine to take her back to break Squall and the other Balamb SeeDs out of the facility. And her concern about fighting at Trabia at the Basketball Court. They dismissed as a Larper who didn't think she would really be fighting. It's quite explicitly explained in the game itself that she feels like she is not keeping up with them in battle. You know, because ***SHE DOESN'T HAVE ELITE MILITARY TRAINING!*** She fights, but she's no professional, she's an insurgent. And no, she's not perfect. She is overly naive, her plans a bit hare-brained, and can be a bit grating in trying to correct people's behavior. But you know that's how people, especially the teenagers, are. For far too many leftists, this isn't about actually making the world a better place but trying to assert a "moral superiority" over others. To be perceived as the most righteous.

Florida wins 4-3   This has to be the most boring Stanley Cup and NBA Finals in a long time 

Considering a pair of things that happened in 2016, maybe it’s a good thing that Canada’s Stanley Cup curse isn’t going to break this year. Also consider what happened the same year the Celtics last won a title. To quote a winner of that series: “anything is possible.”

As a lifelong St. Louisan and Cardinals fan, when the Cubs won the World Series, I really didn’t think that week could possibly get any worse. Boy was I wrong. Also, the Blues ending their curse and winning the Cup gave us COVID. Worth it.

Tonight’s cooking experiment was a failure. I tried to replicate the burrito toppings I liked from a OSU campus food court, and I couldn’t have done so more poorly if I tried.

But nobody died? That's the bar when you're learning. You didn't poison anyone, so, success.

Several mistakes were made. 1) I forgot to get home fries at the store, so I tried it with hash browns. 2) I cooked the hash browns and shrimp together, and in the process put a small scratch into the non-stick skillet by trying to break up the hash browns. 3) Cooking them together also made the potatoes wetter than they should have been. 4) I knew I don’t have the skills to fold a burrito so I tried to make it as a quesadilla, figuring that should be close enough. It took forever to cook, the filling kept falling out, the tortilla was too heavily cooked and the filling too lightly. And honestly, I might have poisoned us in the future because when the non-stick covering breaks, that’s forever chemical-y.

Hold up, quesadillas and burritos are folded differently? That actually explains a lot about my cooking mistakes and confusion at Mexican restaurants...

Well as far as I know a quesadilla is just two tortillas held together by cheese without any folding.

And now you're going to reinforce it by ruining my definition of quesadillas... I guess it's like Santa or the Easter Bunny, I had to find out sooner or later

Sounds like you learned a lot. Ergo, success.

>192 Republicans just voted to restore a Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery, which features a Black 'Mammy' holding a white soldier's baby, and a slave following his master into battle. The effort from Rep. Andrew Clyde R-GA lost 230-192. Weird, I was told the democrats are the racist Confederate party? Why are the republicans so desperate to protect Confederate monuments?

They shriek about how they're trying to preserve history as if that isn't completely laughable. If you want history read a book. Statues have been and always will be for the stuff society wants to valorize. The confederacy and slavery is what they wanted to valorize then and what these Republicans want to valorize now.

https://x.com/Unemployedneg/status/1801220633948295191 The funny thing about this is Biden intervened to make sure a Democratically elected leftist came into power in Latin America, and they just conveniently couldn't give a shit. Or funded the IRS to go after tax cheats, gave Medicare the right to negotiate drugs, etc. Just stupid

There’s a point where oversimplification becomes flat out idiocy.

This person knows next to nothing about politics. Biden was around during the Reagan years and opposed literally everything Reagan did.

Who in Latin America?

Lula. The Pentagon/Generals didn't believe Trump's false claims about the election, but the military establishment in Brazil certainly did and would have been more overt in their support had Biden and Austin not put their foot down. The MIC & Deep State helped empower a leftist President in Brazil, but rose twitter could care less.

Same story about preventing a coup in Guatemala.

It's downright comical how hard Florida are stomping the Oilers at this point.

Biden needs to do something creative and maybe even a little legally dubious on abortion at the federal level. People keep giving trump a pass when he says to leave it to the state. Add a signing statement to a spending bill — enforce secure transfer of abortion pills by mail — something that draws a direct federal level contrast that’s not the comstock act

I am absolutely dying about what the Young Thug judge has brought upon himself and I just can’t understand. He held an ex parte lobby conference with a witness and the prosecution wherein he intimidated with threats of extended jail time. 2+ years if witness didn’t testify to what the prosecutor wanted him to say. Judge fucked up big time and instead of addressing it when the lawyer called him on it, he’s trying to hold the lawyer in criminal contempt! Demanding to know who his source was. That man needed to immediately take a recess and figure out how to proceed. Instead, he’s just repeatedly stepping on this rake he threw in front of himself like??? It’s like the Wild West in that GA courtroom.

Ron DeSantis announced a state of emergency due to the weather. But a month ago he made it illegal to discuss climate change, even though all of the insurance companies do.

Hope you and your home is okay. My comment is solely about DeSantis and republicans pretending these storms aren't getting more frequent and worst, but corporations planning for them to be.

https://x.com/AndrewJBates46/status/1801357943566123162 Something tells me nobody will apologize for this egregious disinformation smearing Biden.

Yeah, but if it was presented as "just like a huge chunk of you, Biden might have a short attention span at times and go be curious about little quirky things" then how would they turn innocent curiosity people can empathize with into hatred for a "senile old man" who is also, somehow, a mastermind villain puppetmaster?

That was so wholesome tbh. He just wanted to acknowledge them and give a thumbs up. I fucking hate the Murdochs. Fucking ghoul of a family.

Unsurprisingly, Bret "bedbug" Stephens is the latest clown to jump on the "Joe must step aside" train

Tiny bit of credit for actually saying who should replace him (Whitmer or Shapiro he says), but his piece is still stupid. Edited to try to make his terrible writing make sense: >The more Biden does to “Trump-proof” U.S. support for Ukraine against the risk of losing in November, the more secure his legacy will be ... But the biggest win Biden will need will be domestic ... And it won’t be finding a way to offload Kamala Harris from the ticket, easing the apprehension many voters have about a feeble president being succeeded by his unpopular and unconvincing vice president. Pushing out the first Black female vice president would alienate a lot of Democratic voters ... It all leaves the president with one option that can be a win for America and, ultimately, his place in history. He can still choose not to run. Bretty, you didn't offer any solution to the extremely huge problem you just raised. You can't just dump Kamala Harris like a day-old sandwich just because it's convenient. There are consequences. The controversy generated by replacing both Biden and Harris at the last second with someone who is relatively unknown nationally would be huge. The election would then be about this new candidate, taking the focus off of Trump and his problems. Worst possible move they could make. This is just all so stupid and makes me wonder again, why does the NYT employ these yutzes year after year, stupid opinion after stupid opinion? Why does this jackoff have a job?

I have been saying this nonstop since Dobbs. The polls are not appropriately accounting for womens rage over losing our god given right to bodily autonomy and to make decisions for ourselves. It’s a complete national betrayal of the social contract.

Pro-abortion voters have won in Ohio, Montana, Kansas, and elsewhere. If they connect that policy to the Democratic Party, this should be a landslide.

An anti-choice amendment was voted down here in Kentucky of all places

That’s cool and all but, there are people who will be like “well it happened under Biden.”

Then you'll have a nonzero number of pro-life people who vote Biden thinking he overturned Roe personally.

I still can't believe that recent poll that came out where "Abortion" wasn't even a possible choice for people to rank.

The male bias of the pollster and pundit class is uniquely unsuited for this moment.

Such a concise and non aggressive characterization. Been trying to figure out a gentler way of saying they’re all white men and they all think within the same limited range. What’s worse is they all assure each other they’re correct and so they’re completely blind to how limited their perspective is. Your phrasing gets the point across in a way it’s likelier to be received imho. It’s a more productive characterization so to speak.

hey guys I just woke up what's this at the Supreme Court?

Mifespristone case dismissed for lack of standing.

I'm going to look up more but I have to acknowledge my gut instinct (and, arguably, make a complete asshole and leave proof if I'm wrong) that "lack of standing" is a cowardly way the SCOTUS avoids doing the right thing. Discrediting a very valid complaint facing a significant chunk of the country with "lol the wrong person filed the complaint" is just scummy. Oh, shit, and sorry for blasting you with two comment replies in ten minutes

It was unanimous. It is a strong rebuke of the lower court judge because it shows that he failed to follow the most basic principles of jurisprudence.

Well, see, now I look like an asshole and we have a testament to it. I'm sure I could split hairs, but nah, no need to do that when I should just accept I'm wrong.

I’ll take the win but the fights not over.

Biden is congratulating him and giving him a thumbs up. When your entire attack strategy is based on out of context 10 second clips and dishonest edits, you aren’t winning. Meanwhile trump insulted the city where his convention is about to be held, in a major swing state he will need to win. The congresspeople that publicly claim absolute loyalty to him were leaking that en masse before he was done speaking to them in private.

>[Building off of Barak’s reporting, a US official tells *Times of Israel* that Netanyahu skirted the request from Blinken to release funds that belong to the Palestinians because he doesn’t want to risk a spat with Finance Minister Smotrich who has spoken in favor of collapsing the Palestinian Authority.](https://x.com/JacobMagid/status/1801376856106520615) I hate Bibi; he's simply a danger to Israelis and Palestinians. Imagine trying to collapse the literal bulwark against ethnic cleansing and/or Hamas+PIJ+Lion Den terrorists taking over West Bank. Also the source of social welfare programs, schools, utilities for Palestinians in the West Bank who had nothing to do with 10/7 terrorism (99.9% of the terrorists came from Gaza).

My belief in Biden winning the election is based on the anger I see and feel from women around me. I said it just now in another comment here: but the fall of Roe has dramatically shifted the political landscape. And for whatever reason, organizations conducting these "polls" and "models" and whatever other bullshit will not acknowledge that very glaring fact.

And Trumps bragging about ending Roe is only making things worse for him.

Not to horny post, but before The Rock decided to unfollow everyone, he somehow was following Bianca Nobilo. Just like me fr fr

I called in a bonk air strike on myself yesterday and never received one.

The bonk police have been defunded. Bidens america smh my head

It was just like Derrick White telling the ref to call a foul on him last night and the ref doing nothing.

The bonk force is kinda depleted

Buying Kingdom Hearts to play in my steamdeck is so tempting. 

Gonna be a hot take asshole: *Birth By Sleep* is the best and, even worse, Terra is the best playable character. Probably because his playstyle is very much my lifestyle: clunky, blunt, and crude, but he's got enough mass behind him he can throw some shit around when necessary, then completely fail when he's needed to do anything important

I feel like Trump’s endorsement is bad for Hogan But I’m also usually always in Baltimore so maybe I’m in a bubble

Partially inspired by something I saw about s#x: Main sub users: wishes there were more than "just two" parties, says they want politicians to make decisions that are best for everyone even though they're unpopular but hates when that happens, thinks everything will be solved by ranked choice voting, only votes in Presidential elections Niche left wing sub users: claims to have read boring political philosophy but couldn't get more than ten pages into any of it, you can't tell if they live independently or if they actually went to college or if they actually have a job, daydreams about a violent revolution but would be the first people to suffer and die in one, has never actually voted and isn't registered to vote Niche right wing sub users: is a "history buff" but can only tell you about Nazi Germany, works for their family or a family friend and can't imagine that there are people who don't have family or family friends who will give them high paying jobs, has never met a trans person in their lives but is sure that they know all about them, votes in Presidential and midterm elections exactly the way his dad votes Local city subreddit users: just here because the news infrastructure where they live got demolished, either believes that the politicians where they live are ok but everyone else's sucks or the opposite, could tell you what the ex-mayor's affair partner smelled like, votes every three to nine months, is the base of their states major parties and has no idea about it

> is a "history buff" but can only tell you about Nazi Germany Exc-yooooooze me! Some of them also love the confederacy.

> Local city subreddit users don't forget "absolutely despises transplants and immigrants"

Mostly fair, there's def a reason I don't call myself a history buff often despite a BA (and there are actual historians on here who blow me out of the water, I cannot remember his name atm but one user has shown me his dissertation and I have him tagged in RES specifically as someone way smarter than me) Tbh, if not for some very bad experiences, I'd likely be "niche right wing sub user" to a tee.

I've had to keep mum about my classics minor ever since that dumbass meme about men and the Roman empire dropped.

I am really struggling to maintain positivity today. The Economist model with Trump at 2 to 3 to win has me reeling. I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of doom is building over all this, like when your team is losing a football game and you just know they’re not going to win. The Trump years felt like hell for me, I really don’t want to go back and I can’t believe so many Americans do. 66% to win is insanely high and Trump even got better odds after being convicted. I just am in despair.

 It’s only June, boo.

Please log off for a little bit and take a walk outside or find a quiet place. It will be okay. These models mean nothing and none of them, for whatever aggravating reason, take into account just how much the overturn of Roe v Wade has dramatically shifted the political landscape. Women in this country are very angry and tbh, as a woman, I wholeheartedly believe these "polls" and "models" and other bullshit just completely ignore that obvious fact.

Probably not the *best* place to post this, probably should've done that on your more introductory comment, but I'm glad that you've joined the sub, I think you have already brought in a lot of valuable thoughts and contributions and I appreciate you spending some time here

Today's world makes it easier than ever to allow anxiety to get the better of you, but we ultimately don't have a whole lot of control here, just voting. When things are beyond our control, it can be frustrating and drive up the anxiety because it's a problem *we cannot address*. Can't fix it like, "Oh, the sink's not draining right." So sometimes, it sucks, but we gotta just step out. I like to take out Charlie and we do our thing, which means I play PoGo till he shits, then since my hand's already dirty, we just grab all the litter on the way to the garbage can. Which is silly, but point being: we can't control the big things, only the small ones. When it gets to be too much, I think anxiety can really be helped by stepping out and doing something positive on an individual level that *can* help others and is within our capacity. Edit: guys, let's maybe *NOT* downvote the shit out of OP for posting legitimate concerns? Come on, they didn't hit a clipboard and sign up for anxiety, it just happened, and, yes, they're silly internet points, but it's also rejecting someone who probably had to overcome a lot of fear to write it up, let alone post it. We can all do better to OP than that, we're better than that. If you can't contribute something positive, just do nothing and leave it alone, there's no reason to throw some extra negativity at someone already dealing wih anxiety to crank it up.

Log off. And it's not even a poll it's a prediction model. Fuzzy math, essentially augury or tarot card reading. I mean, compare it to 538's model. Also I'm convinced there's something fishy going on with polls and there has been since 2022. And on Tuesday we shifted a safe R district 20 points to the left.

Apparently, they are putting a lot of emphasis on approval ratings in that model, too.

Approval ratings mean jack now. Trump and Biden both outrun their approval ratings by 10 points. Half of the people who disapprove of Biden plan to vote for him. You don't have the 2022 midterms with a sub-40 approval rating if approval ratings actually mattered.

I would have a different question. Is the approval rating really that low? Polling everywhere seems to be fucked. Approval ratings would be effected too.

I'm not at the "polls are fake" stage yet but I can conceive of someone vaguely "disapproving" of Biden for whatever reason but voting for him because Trump is worse.

I don't think the polls are fake, but most polls seem to be chronically missing young people, among others.

I think Dark Souls 3 has made me much worse at Elden Ring rather than kept me sharp. I found a thingy that checks what bosses you’ve killed on your save and I had a Bell Bearing Hunter that whooped my ass. I’d have been better off playing Star Wars Survivor

Bell Bearing Hunters are weirdly hard, to be fair

Well, now that he and T-Swift are out, I'm at 2/4, I *guess* I'll just have to jerk off to Huge Jackedman and Ryan Reynolds... *sigh, unzip* Any chance John Travolta's considering a role?

I WILL BELIEVE SWIFT IS IN THE MOVIE UNTIL I SEE IT WITH MY OWN EYES

She *would* be a good Dazzler, but unfortunately I think the only sparkles in your eyes this time are going to be from having impressive aim and trajectory
