Watched "The Little Mermaid" with my wife this weekend. This is one of the better remakes that Disney has done. Halle Bailey earned the role and does well throughout the film. While it starts as a 1:1 remake, it slowly introduces changes that make a difference. This one feels like they honestly gave a damn and went beyond "how much money can we print"? From the vibrancy of the colors, the casting in the film and the new additions, this one is solid all the way around. Not a movie that I'd rush to see, but if you want to check it out, it won't disappoint you.

Yeah . . . time to stop on the spots 🤣 At least it's shaping up to look cool.

Oh yeah!!!

The Gummi Bears theme always gave me Kenny Loggins vibes. I'm biased, but I think the G1 intro as a whole is one of the better 80s themes. Explains the entire premise of the show, toyline, less than 1 minute, and has a pretty solid track. As a side, I hate how it seems like the G1 Transformers Intro is always captured from the Rhino DVD set with the dumbass sound effects. How it's meant to be heard . . .

Common law marriage is a thing. There are states that have abolished this type of thing.

Can't remember if this was posted.

I don't mind being informed. The person's output was the deal, literal slavery was the owning of the person and everything that they created, thought, etc. There was no way out. I'm not negating that it wasn't a walk in the park. Seems like in recent years this discussion has come up a lot more often. This is an extreme come-up.

I can agree with the take. I was referring to the statement that indentured servants as a nice way to say "slave". Yes, most white people didn't own slaves.

It is absolutely not that. https://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/feature/indentured-servants-in-the-us/ If you were an indentured servant, there was a path to freedom through cheap/free labor. You were "indentured" for a period of time and once the term (around six years) was up, you were considered a free person. African slaves were considered property, were in bondage and the owner had complete rights to them. They were not even regarded as human. There are parallels, but it is not the same.

So despite saying that I was just going to beat GOW:R, I have gone through most the post-game content (Berserkers, Asgard remnants, etc.) on Give Me God of War. The only thing left now is Gna. Even at max level, she practically one shots you . . . with everything.

I think there were elements of this that existed. The problem is that you didn't have the element of broadcasting your thoughts in a public forum with decent production quality at your fingertips.

TyroneMagnus is going for that HodgeTwins angle.

Never thought I'd see him on Vlad. This clip is about the moon landing and the conspiracy argument against it happening. He does a really good job explaining conspiracy theorists in general.

1,the second half of 3, and Bumblebee are decent. 4 needed a better editor but had promise, and then came TF5 (which makes me dislike 4). At least with RotF, the forest battle was great.

Legit laughed at Mirage. I will be buying it, but I'll wait. I haven't paid full retail for any titan rease so far and don't see that changing with this release.

When it comes to this strike, I hope people remember the Fallen . . .

You'll remain a better person if you don't. That movie honestly made me question buying MCU steelbooks.

I'm torn because I loved the way the second movie dished the emotional message about family, but I overall preferred this movie. I'm also loving Chukwudi Iwuji's portrayal of the High Evolutionary.

Not a fan of the first Cap honestly. It felt more like the "necessary evil" than anything else.

Welp. . . Guardians of the Galaxy is the best trilogy in the MCU.
