Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

White House backing another sexual predator. I so sick of this timeline.

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm actually looking forward to this absolutely bombing, the likes of which would make Tron Ares, Morbius (both releases), and that Spider-Man Movie without Spider-Man, seem like blockbusters.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

that Spider-Man Movie without Spider-Man

Which one?

I know you mean Madam Web, and you already said Morbius, but Kraven the Hunter would also fit. Also technically the three Venom films, but those didn't bomb (but the third did poorly).

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yeah Madam Web. I kept getting stuck on Black Widow but I knew it wasn't that lol.

There was a Kraven movie?

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yes, there was a Kraven movie. I made it through about 25 minutes of it. Ten minutes longer than Borderlands. I actually watched all of Madam Web. I am still not sure how that happened.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Honestly I thought the Kraven film was the best after Venom and Venom 2. If it had come out right after Venom the whole Spider-Man minus Spider-Man films would have been on better ground. Morbius was terrible and then Madam Web killed any good faith anyone might have had left. By the time Kraven was out everyone had, rightly, given up.

(If you've never watched any of these films, this is not an endorsement.)

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I tried to think really hard about if I saw the Kraven movie, and the only thing I got was the plot for Spider-Man 2, and I know that wasn't it cause that was a decent plot-line.

I'm gonna have to pirate this out of morbid curiosity. Like that time I watched the 2 girls 1 cup video, which I still would recommend over Madame Web and Morbius.

Do you mean the newest Spider-Man game? It's a decent storyline, probably better than the movie. He's a little annoying with his death wish, and also how beating him 3 goddamn times in a boss battle doesn't even put a scratch on him.

I "watched" Morbious in the background and could tell you a rough outline but Kraven I could not even do that. Had to turn it off.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Probably Sydney Sweeney is how you managed Madame Webb.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Black Widow did decent for a COVID movie.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Technically Peter Parker is in Madame Web, but he's a newborn baby

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Isn't it a baby named Peter P(balloon pop)?

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Who's a sexual predator in the rush hour series?
