It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

this has to be made up. I don't know anybody who gives a shit about these movies or will see them, regardless of politics. I don't even know anybody who's mad about them.
I've had friends say they want to see Oppenheimer because it's "the next American Sniper". They meant this in a positive way. ๐
I mean, I don't know if Oppenheimer is full of lies and bad dummy work, but big if true
I constantly mix up American Sniper and Shooter and it has caused me problems on more than one occasion
You can't deny the numbers though, maybe its just you and you're lucky with your acquaintances but this is literally like saying "yeah the latest capeshit made 1 billion and I don't know anyone who watched it or wants to watch it". I mean, come on now.
Also in the current state hollywood commentary is right now I think it is an extremely safe bet that if there was actualy any indication that either of those movies flopped the media would run with this for all the rage clickbait from pretty much every side.
~~Maybe I'm weird~~ OK on reflection I'm definitely a weird dude but "giving a shit about movies" is not something anybody I know does. Even going to movies regularly is like, a thing you do for your kids. I just assume the numbers represent a subset of people who are regular moviegoers or something. Seriously, the last time I saw a movie in a theater was like, 2014 on a date, and prior to that it was '02 or earlier.
Not sure about that, I know a number of people who have gone (including myself), and I don't think most of them are regular moviegoers (I'm certainly not, it's been like like 6 years since the last time I can remember). Admittedly, I wouldn't have gone and would have waited for it to drop for free on the internet if someone hadn't talked about going, but even that isn't something that really happens to me normally
Is your friend me lol
I saw Oppenheimer it was good
no doubt people are seeing it, but a right winger who says all their conservative friends went to see it just can't be a real thing
have you considered they don't have that many friends?
I had not, point taken
