Hey, in my defense, I was fooled. But at least the person who put that graphic under Brady was fired. So you support censorship of the truth, similar to how RT censored negative ratings of Captain Marvel. It feels like it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Defamation

YouTube "anti-SJW" channels literally out there reporting fake second week drop numbers and celebrating that the boycott is working. It's actually quite amusing to watch their grip on reality slip away. As above, so below - the world is as I believe it to be. Hee hee hee...

From "OTL": Inside a room accessible only to Belichick and a few others, they found a library of scouting material containing videotapes of opponents' signals, with detailed notes matching signals to plays for many teams going back seven seasons. Among them were handwritten diagrams of the defensive signals of the Pittsburgh Steelers, including the notes used in the January 2002 AFC Championship Game won by the Patriots 24-17. Yet almost as quickly as the tapes and notes were found, they were destroyed, on Goodellโs orders: League executives stomped the tapes into pieces and shredded the papers inside a Gillette Stadium conference room. To recap: It's fine for a 10-year-old to call Brady a cheater at a school science fair, but not so much for a news station covering the Super Bowl. There's a difference. This article has been updated with the fired employee's name and his reported comments None of what you posted changes the fact that the graphic was truthful and the station was using censorship against the truth. It's no different than if someone posts a graphic that said "Bill Clinton - Known Liar". It's a known fact that Bill Clinton went on TV and lied to millions of Americans when he denied having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. And it's a known fact that Tom Brady was caught cheating and his guilt was confirmed by the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals. The station trying to suppress the truth is just another example of censorship, similar to how RT censored negative ratings of Captain Marvel.

Has anybody done a Venn diagram of the overlap between the whiny man-babies who get their panties in a twist about female/minority/gay actors in comic book films, and Trump supporters?
They're pretty much the same folks, it seems...

$779,179,899
It made over $500 million over seas and managed to surpass Wonder Woman foreign box office. No idea if it'll beat the domestic box office. Guess we'll have to see how it does over the weekend.

I have been around a variety of opinions on sex & relationships. Cheaters tend to REALLY qualify stuff. Like I've seen people say if the act can't result in a baby (like oral sex) then it's not sex. I have spoken with people who feel it's "petting" or foreplay. Speaking as someone who works in law enforcement, a number of my convicted felons also have interesting definitions of what exactly constitutes lawbreaking.

Guess we'll have to see how it does over the weekend. Apart from a couple of midweek days CM seems to have taken more than WW on each comparable day. It's over 50m domestically more than WW at this point. But then again WW really did hang around for a long time. I personally would be surprised if it did beat WW domestically. Has though obliterated WW's international takings in 2 weeks!

So why do you think Captain Marvel has done so much better than Wonder Woman in the international market? I have some theories but would love to here the thoughts of other folks.

Summer is prime vacation movie-going time. Domestically, could it be lack of movies? I went to Glass & Alita, unlike some of these people pushing Alita over CM (if all those guys saw it, it would have made way more), but it seems a lot of others haven't been seeing movies this year.

My theory, because social politics (in this case feminism) isn't really a big deal in a lot of other countries worldwide. They're too busy tackling worse issues. So WW being the first major female superhero movie or that she will be showcasing female empowerment means little to them. In the same way, the backlash over Brie's comments regarding white men will matter little to them as well. So you don't have people boycotting CM because of anti-sjw reasons and at the same time you also don't have people watching WW in droves for pure feminist reasons. In the end, what you get is people coming to see a movie based mostly on brand recognition and word of mouth.

Reviews said it was bland and the continuity issues sound meh so I'll wait until I can stream it. Plus, Brie can't act, so I'm already biased. With time away from it maybe I'll realign and can give it a fair watch.

Tears well up, but don't cry. My husband would say nasty, hurtful stuff & then tell me to "go on. Squirt a few tears" So I couldn't. That would mean he won, that he got to me. But if something made him sad & he cried, he would rub his eye & wipe it on me to get compassion
