Declan MacManus posted:how much fuckin promotion does the third or fourth sequel to a major ip even need well considering the buzz around Solo was dismal from the word go (firing its original directors for "not jiving with Kathleen Kennedy's vision", reports of having to give the lead acting lessons on set, etc) it's no surprise they had to pump up the marketing

sportsgenius86 posted:Solo was actually way better than it had any right being Depending on how much of a right you think it had, I agree. That movie was fine. Not good, but not terrible. It feels like every year there's at least one big budget movie that everyone goes in on like it's the worst poo poo, and then you eventually catch it streaming years later and it was just mediocre.

I spent close to two months in a hospital following a spinal surgery. No brain injury, but plenty of drugs, tubes, disorientation, making GBS threads with company, avoiding the showers and learning to walk again when you are half the age of everyone in there. That article made me shudder, laugh, cry a bit, cry from laughter at the catheter line (I thought about the same idea but wasn’t brave enough to pull), and also feel happy to know someone else has pissed in a bottle with five nurses and doctors around. Mostly it just made me feel insanely lucky to be here now. I’m glad drew seems to feel the same.

brain injuries are hosed. my dad had something similar (albeit milder) and it was like he transformed into a completely different human for 3 weeks. It was like one part toddler one part ornery geezer. He's fine now and has no memory of his time there really. It's crazy.

Brain issues are loving weird. About nine years ago, I was doing some Spring Cleaning in my living room when I blacked out and upon coming back to consciousness I found myself in the middle of a conversation with my kitchen stove. That started a process in which over the next year I would be diagnosed with a large Pineal cyst, brain seizures, painless migraines, had an episode where I started hearing Jack in the Box music out of nowhere in the midst of a headache, became sick enough that I spent four weeks on home rest as a guy in my 20's, and I ended up in the Mayo Clinic being monitored by a three-person Neurological team for six days. I didn't even take a hit to the head. The three-person neurology team at no less than the Mayo Clinic could only come up with what was basically a hypothesis about what was going on, and I basically had to be a prescription guinea pig until the right balance of medication was found. The after-effects were really weird too. I developed two brain ticks that had never been present before. One was that, after previously being known for remembering absolutely everybody's names I couldn't remember the names of anybody - people who in some cases I'd known for years. Another was that for some reason I could no longer just lock a door and walk away - my brain wouldn't register the sounds of the key and the lock and it wouldn't register that I'd locked my front/car/side/etc door. The workaround I had to come up with was that I had to physically watch myself take my keys out of my pocket, physically watch myself put the key in the lock, and physically watch myself turn the key. Then my brain would register that I'd locked the door and I was okay. Another way in which my brain rewired itself a bit is that now a daily schedule has absolutely no affect on how/when I sleep. I just have to sleep whenever. It doesn't matter how lazy, busy, sick, or whatever I've been. I have some nights where I don't have to sleep at all, others where I sleep a normal eight hours, and other times where I get my normal sleep throughout the day by taking several naps. You might think, "Well take something to help you sleep, you dumbass". Well, I tried that once. Perhaps owing to how delicate my brain chemistry is now I tried an over-the-counter sleep aid one time, and I ended up laid out for something like 20 or 22 straight hours. My now wife said that at one point she was actually considering calling an ambulance because she thought I might be in a coma. All of this and it's possible that it all happened because of a small ball of fluid in the middle of my head that can't be removed. This is the same kind of cyst that if it was on pretty much any other body part you could poke it, drain it, and in five minutes that would be it. However, because it's attached to one of the central glands of my brain it's likely that the only way to remove it would be via chemotherapy.

Not to re-hash “hollywood accounting” but just a reminder guys from the lord of the rings series had to sue to get their share of profits because New Line claimed the Lord of the Rings series never turned a profit. Over 2.9 billion dollars in world wide gross. Then remember how many different dvd and Blu-ray releases they had. And this was during peak DVD. All the merchandising.
