Your face is tanking

And now for today’s lesson in institutionalised misogyny.

Today’s news: Ghostbusters ‘tanks’, ‘stumbles’ with 53% drop in its second week.

Presumably that’s a bad performance compared to other action movies in their second week then?

Let’s check…

Captain America: Civil War: -59.5%

Dark Knight: -52%

Amazing Spider Man: -61%

Oh, and for an example of an actual ‘tanking’:

Batman vs Superman: -69%

Now, let’s examine all the reporting last week that Ghostbusters was going to struggle because of its first week multiplier against its budget…

Ghostbusters first weekend US figures: $46m It had a $144m budget, so in its first week it made 32% of that. Descriptions: ‘Lacklustre’, ‘problematic’, ‘will haunt Sony’

Star Trek Beyond first weekend US figures: $59.6m It had a $189m budget, so in its first week it made 30% of its budget. Reporting: ‘Dominates’, ‘wins big’

To be clear: there are articles describing both movies’ openings as ‘solid’. But there’s basically no one calling Beyond worrying or Ghostbusters a big win.

So. ‘Nuff said?

[roseellendix]

Stats don’t lie bruh. 

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

I went to see Ghostbusters yesterday, and we ended up having to attend a later showing, because the earlier screening sold out while we were still waiting in the ticket line, so…

[pressxtodavid]

Well that’s super creepy

Also @oldtrainers it you

Dad keeps sharing random facts about bees

To treat common mites, beekeepers coat their bees in powdered sugar. This kills the mites but doesn’t hurt the bees, and they will clean it off anyway. It does, however, make them look like tiny bee ghosts until they groom themselves.

Skunks are natural predators of bees. They will grab a mouthful of bees and suck the juices out before spitting out the bees’ carcasses. To keep the skunks from doing this, beekeepers will build their hives high enough that the skunks have to reach their front paws up to get to the hives. This way, their bellies are exposed and the bees are able to fight back and sting them. Either way, bees die. 

Bees are curious, and they may follow you around for a while just to see what you’re doing. Most bees will trail you for a yard or two, but one breed will stalk you for up to half a mile.

*** bees are curious** that is adorable omg

[oldtrainers]

I CANNOT HANDLE THE INFORMATION ABOUT CURIOUS BEES. Please ask your dad why bees always bump into my face???

why the fuck does english have a word for

but not for “the day after tomorrow”

???

[zeplerfer]

Because you’re not looking hard enough! ;)

Overmorrow = the day after tomorrow

Ereyesterday = the day before yesterday

Example: I defenestrated my brother ereyesterday. I shall defenestrate my sister overmorrow! Because I hate my family and also windows.

[wantcookie]

english has some of the best examples of stupidly specific words, tbh

Rhotacism (n): excessive use of the letter “R”

Lingible (adj): meant to be licked

Whipjack (n): a beggar, specifically one who is pretending to have been shipwrecked

Yerd (v): to beat with an object with a stick

Roddikin (n): the fourth stomach of a cow or a deer

Balbriggan (n): a type of fine cotton, most often used in underwear

and my personal favorite

Cornobble (v): to slap or beat another person with a fish

[somewhatgreatexpectations]

This makes the English nerd in me extremely happy.

[trisabelle]

Who even made these words I’m going to cornobble them

[adamatronic-deactivated20170419]

My dick is lingible

[solnishka1927-deactivated202504]

there is a dictionary that has all of these stupidly specific and obscure words and a whole lot more. It’s absolutely beautiful.

When your friend is telling you a story and they leave out key gossip

[phantomrose96]

I’m at the gym. They just played Evanescence’s “Wake Me Up Inside” followed immediately by Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done”

Meme culture has ruined me because now I just want to burst out laughing. The emo stereotype is too strong. Self insert OCs are pouring from the windows. Lemon boyxboy don’t like don’t read. Ebony Darkness Dementia Ravenway is waiting impatiently behind me for the treadmill.

[officialspambot]

do people really think it’s called “wake me up inside”?

[phantomrose96]

Attention Tumblr: It would appear the textpost I made on my iPhone while running was not thoroughly fact-checked. The song is “Bring me to Life” by Evanescence. We at phantomrose96 dot tumblr dot com do not endorse shoddy and inaccurate meme journalism, and so do dearly apologize for this error. We will make corrective efforts in the future to be better 2006 preteen goths.
