MADAME WEB'S BOX OFFICE FAILURE IS NOW *COMPLETE*!!:
Madame Web's failure is now complete. It can't get over $1,000 per cinema on average. It can't get into the top 3 domestic Box Office and it can't get anyone to see its film. With Dune 2 set to take away their theatre share this movie will likely not even hit $100million WORLDWIDE!! https://youtu.be/boU1zyFgxxY?si=6tMOwLG4mBxCk1a2

MADAME WEB *KILLS* THE DISNEY GIRLBOSS - LONG LIVE HEROES (Disparu):
Madame Web reviews recently came out for the Sony Marvel movie, much to >Hollywood's dismay. Disney changed the marvel MCU to center characters like >She-hulk and focus on ramakes like Snow White with Rachel Zeger. But do >audiences want this? Madame Web proved that the disasters keep getting worse, >is it the end of the girlboss? Has Disney realised they need to change? Is >Madame Web worth watching?

They spelled "theater" wrong! What are they - some kind of European commies?!!
What did you watch?
Mostly just soaps:
soaps: Fri's ep's.
  DOOL - Well, that was disappointing - the ID of the shooter of
Harris is revealed, and it wasn't Xander (duh!), it was Stefan. There's
no coming back from this - it's clear with Camila Banus' Gabi gone, they
are poised to also write out Stefan (I actually expected this)...
Meanwhile, the frame-up of Xander continues, but it's so obvious that
even dumb Rave is suspicious. And Harris Michaels finally awakens! But
we know he's not long for this world, so the only question is is if he
will get to ID Stefan as the shooter before he kicks the bucket!
  GH - Mostly boring ep. This is going exactly the way I suspected it would - while Cyrus doesn't get the name of the "big bad" who contacted
the arms dealer dude, Cyrus did find out that the "big bad", "Stone", is literally a "ghost", i.e. "dead" - Duh! It's Jason Morgan!! Nothing else important happened.
Ride (CW) - "Your Cheatin' Heart" (ep. #6). Geezus - I had to wait until
*the very end of the episode* just to see the return engagement from
Holly Deveaux - she was the dead husband's ex, but they weren't having
an affair: she was helping him "cheat" by fixing which bull he was going
to ride! Boring!! Otherwise, Dylan Neal shows up as the billionaire dude
that Nancy Travis is trying to get to invest in the rodeo. Meh.
Once again last night, the Spectrum app on my bedroom Apple TV box
refused to work. I have no idea how Spectrum thinks they'll be able to
get rid of cable boxes if their streaming app never properly works!

I am very happy that I can stream through my Comcast box, but I still
use my firestick for some stations like AppleTV+ (and others) that can
stream in HDR10+ which the Comcast box can't do. Actually, I never
checked, but I doubt it can do Dolby Vision either.
I watched:
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (AppleTV+) - I binged through the first 4 episodes of this series set in the Godzilla monsterverse. The series
takes place in multiple time periods but so far mostly in the 50s and
after the events of the first Godzilla movie. I guess it's OK. I
wouldn't have minded something a bit better. I guess my main gripe is
none of the characters are likeable. In fact the main character is particularly unlikable. But I'll get through it. It is holding my
interest. I had planned to stop at episode 3, but they ended on a cliffhanger and I *needed* to see what happens next.

They're going to recast Gabi though,
so maybe he works with the cops to
help them take down Clyde and stays.

Not to mention that's illegal in the federal government. People are
trained to perform the job they're hired for. Someone else stepping in
and doing a job they're not trained for creates massive liability issues.
And are they really switching jobs? It's one thing for a special agent
to spend the day crunching numbers as an accountant but did he hand his
badge and gun to the accountant and send her out on the streets
investigating crime? 'Cause whoever endorsed that should be arrested and locked up.

Also, each very special agent only learned one other department so all
McGee is going to learn is how to change oil.
The accountant turned out to know all the business of everyone else in the
DC area off the top of their head, which made it easy to catch the crooks.

calls unsupervised while the actual 911 operator went out for snacks.
Even if all of that setup were actual the operator would have hit a
button that had any calls being sent to her station redirected to one
of the other actual operators in the room instead of leaving it with
Casey who had only handled a single call under the NCIS operator's supervision.

Yeah, no one was being given serious work while switching jobs. They
were basically being asked to do grunt work that might have been given
to someone fresh on the job to help them learn the job.

I’m not entirely certain there were any other 911 operators. Good point about recording the calls though.
