I gave up 45 minutes in. Boring is the new black. It gets praised for being ultra realistic, but at the end of the day it's about a guy who dresses up as a bat. How many people dress up as bats in real life and fight crime?

lol Exactly. That was my problem with the Nolans too. "If Batman were real..." If Batman were real, he'd be arrested in two weeks and in solitary for the rest of his natural. I just don't get this generation's obsession with boring. "It's realistic", they cry. Well yeah, but life being boring is why we watch movies. To be f*****g ENTERTAINED.

Okay some SPOILERS for the Flash if you're interested.
It's supposed to be fantastic. The plot is exactly what I said months ago in another post in this thread.
However when Barry is travelling through the multiverse near the end, we get lots of really cool cameos including the following. Adam West and Christopher Reeve, through archive footage, and Grant Gustin from the Flash tv series and best of all Nicholas Cage as Superman!
Yes, really. Back in the 90s he was going to be in a Superman film directed by Tim Burton that honestly sounds like it would have been insane, but it famously never got passed the planning stages. Now after 30 years he will finally be an official Superman. That alone is enough reason for me to go and see it hahaha.

Getting back to the original point of the post, even more so now that the Flash was a big disappointment LOL. Gina Carano was apparently offered her role back for the upcoming Mandalorian season 4 but she told them to go f*ck themselves. A lot of people feel that offer was NOT genuine and more just an attempt to look good.
Disney is in serious shit. Flop after flop, after flop. You wouldn't have thought that ten years ago, that Disney plus Star Wars would have been such a disaster but well you could say the same for DW.
PS it's even more absurd that Gina Carano is the one to be fired from Deadpool and Star Wars given that.
Mark Hamill told kids to go f*ck themselves online, made misogynistic remarks about Trumps wife and shared old sexy pictures she did to slut shame her, and is raising money for drones for Ukrainian Nazis, and if there is ANY truth to that abortion story about his grandchild, oh dear god!
Apparently he and his wife tried to force his son's girlfriend into having an abortion, because their 37 year old son was not ready to be a father. Here is her own account of it.
Nathan and I started dating at the end of 2015. We had sex, of course — lots of it. I was on birth control and he eventually expressed interest in not using condoms. I realize it was my mistake to allow him to not use them. But I thought that an adult would understand the possible consequences.
About three months after we started dating, I found out I was pregnant. It was a major surprise since I had been on birth control. I told him immediately. His response was simply, "f*ck." (BTW what the hell did he think would happen from not using condoms? It would be like if I stuck my hand into a fire and got surprised that it hurt!)
He then told me he’d really like for me to get an abortion. I wasn’t sure what response I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. Maybe I wanted him to ask, What do YOU want to do? It would have been better to at least give me that first.
I had previously experienced an abortion and knew I didn’t want to go through that again. I gave him options — a way out of the responsibility. Nathan told me it would be best if I got an abortion.
I asked him not to lie to me to get what he wanted. If he didn’t want to be with me, I told him, it was fine. I sent him links to read about termination of parental rights; I spoke with him about closed adoption. Still, he said abortion was the only way he would be there for me and it was for the child’s best interest.
"It makes me feel awful that my kid could be out there when I don’t want to raise one," Nathan said over text message. "But I can’t force you to do what I think is best for all of us. If you’re keeping it then it sucks that our relationship had to end this way cause I really like you."
"I really like you, too," I replied, "That’s why this is so hard for me. If I couldn’t do it I’d never contact you or ask you for anything. I’d never ask you to help me raise it."
"Don’t you think the kid not having a dad is f*cked up though?" he asked. "It would suck for the kid. If I don’t have any responsibly, I would feel horrible for the kid."
"If you’re not around then why would you think about it though?" I asked. "Wouldn’t you just move on with your life?"
"No. I’d think about it," he answered. "And whether or not I did, it’s still unfair to the kid. That’s the bottom line."
This began the most volatile emotional roller coaster I’d ever experienced. I felt lost, alone, and I even started to wonder if maybe an abortion would make everything right again. Nathan kept up the pressure, and listening to his words, it started to seem like the best answer. He said everything would be all right and that he would be with me if I got it done.
At seven weeks, I agreed to an abortion. Due to scheduling conflicts with clinics, I ended up getting a medical abortion, using pills. It was a horrible experience, and during the second day of bed rest, Nathan was drunk at a bar the entire time. I thought maybe I deserved that.
Then I learned the medical abortion didn’t take — and I now had a high-risk pregnancy going full-force. At this point, I felt the need to keep the baby. After all I went through, I decided it was meant to be, and I was happy with that decision. I felt the guilt of everything I did to this baby, and to make it up to her, I’d love her forever.
I thought Nathan’s constant badgering would end there, but it didn’t. When I told him I was keeping it, I clearly expressed it wasn’t about his family's money. Child support was brought up, and at first he was slightly communicative, saying it would be $500 a month, with health insurance. I was fine with that. Then he dropped it to $325, with no health insurance for the baby. Again, I said it was fine. Never did I expect money from a trust fund or his parents, and I have kept all the digital communication to prove it.
But at that point, his mother took over with emailing me, and he stopped talking to me.
"Maegan you blew it," she wrote in an email. "When he got to London, he showed me pictures of you and was excited you were coming over. Then you got pregnant. Now if you thought that would keep you together, you calculated wrong. If you’d had the procedure, then he would have felt closer to you for that, for knowing you cared about him and his feelings. Your time in London would have been fabulous. You would still have a relationship with him now. You still could, if and only if, you have the procedure. But it is up to you. No coercing. No more contact with you about it. It is your decision and only yours to make. As he has told you time and time again, he is not ready to be a father yet. (He is 37 BTW) But instead you have given him ultimatums and threatening to have the baby if he didn’t do this or that or you didn’t come to London. He has tried to please you as much as he possibly could under the extreme pressure and uncertainty that you will (or did) have the procedure."
He wanted nothing to do with the baby, which I was fine with. But both Nathan and his mother told me it was “unfair” that a child would have only one parent.
"I am devastated for his child," she wrote. "No child should only have one parent. I know it happens all the time but I would never chose to do it. I would never want to raise a child without the father around. It’s hard enough to do it with a partner, but alone, it would be far too lonely. You want Nathan around now? How are you going to feel after the baby is born and he is not around? I couldn’t do it. It is so selfish."
Farther along in that email, she wrote, "I pray for this poor child. I told you I was adopted and not knowing who your parents are and wondering why they didn’t want you is something only another adopted person knows and when I meet anyone that has been adopted, we have an instant deep bond that is unexplainable to anyone else. This is the only reason I feel strongly that you should not have this baby and for no other reason than for the child. The best option for a less than ideal situation."
Verbal abuse, manipulation, lies, and coercion from Nathan and his mother led me to a state of overwhelming hopelessness. I didn’t want to talk to his mother, I wanted to talk to him. But in order for that to happen, I had to agree to abort the baby.
"So Maegan, once again, as I have said before, it is totally up to you," his mother wrote in another email. "Mark and I told you that if you choose to do the procedure we would be more than willing to pay for it. Do not use that as an excuse. It is not an excuse. We could and would pay the clinic if and when it is done but at this point we are not going to contact you again. You can have an attorney contact Nathan but until the baby is born and a paternity test is done and then the courts determine what Nathan is responsible for, you will not hear from him. Then and only then will you get a check, no more. We have welcomed you into our home and treated you as family only to have you say things that just aren’t true and hurt us and our son."
I finally just told him I’d get the abortion. He was eager to get it done — happy, because he was finally getting his way. He said he’d take care of me after, and that we’d be together. His words weren’t comforting, but they were all I had.
He took me to an abortion clinic at 21 weeks where I learned it would be a major procedure. I told the nurse at Planned Parenthood what was happening, and I showed her the emails and messages. She told me it was coercion, and I shouldn’t have the abortion if I didn’t want to do. She offered to give me paperwork stating I’d gotten it done.
Under stress, I lied, which I know wasn’t right to do. I let Nathan think I went through with it. I told him it was done. I wanted to see if what he told me was true — that he’d be there for me after. But he immediately told me he didn’t want anything to do with me. He had just been telling me what I wanted to hear to get what he wanted. He wanted it taken care of with no thought of my feelings. I’m sure he’s used to getting his way.
I knew being that dishonest wasn’t right, but it let me know where I stood. It let me know that I didn’t care what he thought anymore. I guess a part of me was still holding onto him. At that moment, I was glad to let go.
Communication was scarce after that. I had a lawyer contact him. He ignored it. I spent months trying to get affairs in order and get some sort of child support in order. No one would talk to me. No one would give me any sort of consideration to the life of the baby I was having.
At this point, I was angry. After all the options I offered, he still treated me like garbage. I decided to approach a well-established lawyer who would take my case.
But of course now I’m the bad guy. I’m the “horrible gold-digging slut” who ruined his life. It’s all my fault. It got back to me that Nathan is telling people his rights were violated, but what about my rights? He was given opportunities to get off scot-free, but he and his family felt it was better to push me to do something I truly didn’t want to do.
In a less-that-great situation, I did what I thought was right. In the end, I’m happy with that choice, and I’m happy to welcome my daughter into this world.
Now the Hamill's have never commented on this, and it should be noted that Nathan Hamill seems to spend a lot of time with his daughter Autumn on instagram, so perhaps this was either a lie or grossly exaggerated. I can't imagine the mother being happy to let him see the child if all of this happened? Still something iffy happened here.
Ryan Reynolds meanwhile also raised over 1 million for Ukrainian Nazis too and personally endorsed Nazi loving Manlet Zelensky who tried to start world war 3. Also on a personal level, Reynolds was Neil Patrick Harris level of awful to Amy Winehouse. He and the two hacks who wrote Zombieland, planned to do a bit in the first Deadpool movie where they'd take bets on how Amy Winehouse would die, only for her to be run down by a truck. This was not only a way of humiliating her, but it was also referencing a real life website called "WhenwillAmyWinehousedie.com" that actually took bets on when she would die, was plastered with unflattering pictures of her with the tagline of the world is benefiting from her death you should too, and it rewarded someone with an Ipod who guessed her date of death, (I hope it blew up in that ugly c*nt who won's face.) BTW the Amy Winehouse stuff was before Gina was cast in Deadpool. She was cast in 2015 whilst the Amy stuff was written in 2010. Even if Amy hadn't died and they kept that in though it wouldn't be fair to blame Gina who was just a cast member. Reynolds had control over the script and loved that joke as he and the writers hated Amy, thinking she was overrated and ugly, so f*ck him.
(For what it's worth I'm going to repeatedly kill guys based on the hacks who wrote Zombieland and Reynolds again and again and again and again in my work LOL. I think I'll kill Reynolds character through anal leakage. The Zombieland hacks meanwhile I'll subject their avatars to the worst fate imaginable. Being forced to watch Zombieland 1 and 2 over and over again for all eternity!)
Overall Gina even if you disagree with her points has not done anywhere near as much nasty shit as either Hamill or Reynolds, and honestly I'm glad she is out of their orbit and their nastiness as she is too good a person. Also Terror on the Praire was soooo much better than any bland Star Wars shit for the past 15 years.
