Extreme1's question of the night

[extreme1]

Here's your question for the night: Looking back, what's a pop culture moment that has stayed with you the most this year?
For me, it was probably the fact that AEW held it's biggest show ever and the main thing people remember was that it was the night that CM Punk got himself fired after attacking a co-worker and his boss.
Fucking wild and something tells me we're gonna deal with the fallout of that for a long time.

I've been far too busy this year to focus on anything pop culture related outside of writing but if I had to pick one it would be that burn track Shakira did on her ex with the help of her son that had to be brutal hearing it over and over again knowing it was about him and it wouldn't go away plus she made a mint off of it

Here's your question from the night (From Timlessly_So, thanks!):
If all the girls on your Top 10 List were paired off into 5 lesbian couples, what would the pairings be?
Going off my top 10 for CSS' 100 Sexiest:
Megan Thee Stallion and Jojo
Diane Guerrero and Kira Kosarin
Selena Gomez and Mina Shirakawa
Karen Fukuhara and Christina Hendricks
Jessica Nigri and Lucy Pinder

Good question!

Starting with the obvious ones:

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez
Bella Thorne and Zendaya
Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo (either a hatefuck, or a revelation that the so-called feud was a deception to hide a passionate romance)
Sydney Sweeney and Miley Cyrus
Aly Michalka and Dove Cameron

[Money]

For my version I'm pretty sure we can all agree on the pairings

Shakira/Michelle Rodriguez
Natalie Portman/Aly Michalka
Natalie Alyn Lind/ Christina Hendricks
Christina Aguilera/ Kate Upton
Lucy Pinder/ Kim Kardashian

Here's your question for the night: Got any plans for the Weekend?
Polishing....endless polishing.

[Money]

Setting up for Christmas finally got the tree up now that I'm not traveling anywhere gonna relax and enjoy the one time of year where I can kick back watch football and let the snow fall where I can't leave for a few days

[extreme1]

Here's your question for the night: No question it's the weekly free space, talk about whatever!

[Money]

Okay I'll bite what is the most unrealistic story pairing a fan has ever asked you to write about?

I have tons of these things some still haunt me to this day and a few times I still cringe during a random thought the worst one was a foursome between Dolly Parton, Salma Hayek, Christina Hendricks, and Hayley Atwell I'm sure each of them on their own is great in some way I just couldn't bring myself to try something that bold and ruin a story with a less than stellar effort

[extreme1]

Here's your question for the night: Got any plans for the week?
Pain...misery...probably some video gaming!

[Money]

Cleaning up the disaster that is the aftermath of Christmas got all the wrapping paper up just need to finish the living room and prep for decoration demolition on the 1st

Here's your question for the night: Pop Culture Predictions for 2024?
As few or as many as you want, btw.
My predictions are...
1. Revival of Grunge (if I say it every year, it's bound to happen...ok, it won't but still, I'm obliged to try!).
2. Things go fine for CM Punk, but fractures start to show at some point, setting up the inevitable blow up.
3. Deadpool does ok at the box office and everyone is confused as to what that means for the future of the MCU.
4. X-Men 97 helps get the younger generation interested in the X-Men, setting the stage for their MCU debuts.
5. Speaking of comics...Gambit will continue to be mishandled by Marvel, with only brief flashes of something worthwhile.
6. A lot of celebs are gonna embarrass themselves over the upcoming election.
7. An old form of media (I'm betting DVDs or something totally surprising like the radio) make a comeback.
8. AEW sign more wrestlers, causing people to get angry at them.
9. Selena Gomez faces a real backlash, seems like it's been building this year, wouldn't be surprised if it takes off next year.
10. The Bears will use the first pick for a QB that fails miserably...because that's how things are with The Bears.

and now, 1 post 2024 prediction.
1. If Travis and Taylor stay together, Travis eventually proposes to her on the 50 yard line after winning the Super Bowl.

My predictions:

1. Streaming services will continue to decline and be overpriced deals. This has already been happening the past few years. With news about raising prices on it and the decline in viewership, it's only going to get worse.

2. Marvel will continue their downward spiral at the box office. Deadpool will do OK, but fails to break even. We will be stuck another year having to hear debates as if superhero stuff is the only thing that exists in movies, and the usual back-and-forth arguing over why they're now failing.

3. Hollywood desperately searches for a new franchise to milk dry. It'll be something awesome like a product line or even board game cinematic universe. Who's playing the Monopoly man is the real question.

4. Britney Spears posts some hot nudes online and another year of debating if she should be allowed to show her body and hoping she joins OnyFans.

5. The world finally gets sick to death of hearing about Taylor Swift everyday in the news. She and Travis break up and she will begin writing a new album of slam songs while the fatigue makes it even more annoying hearing about her constantly.

7. Jennifer Lopez's new album and movie ends up being a 2000s throwback. It will do well with her fans, but some like me will be wanting another booty music video and we won't get it.

8. Twitter continues to be a hellhole online, but there won't be a proper alternative to it. This year will be even worse due to the election. If you want to stay sane, avoid it at all costs.

9. Something controversial happens in the NFL playoffs leading to people blaming the refs and wanting rules changed. Again.

10. The Saints pass on drafting Jayden Daniels, keep Dennis Allen at coach and Carr at QB, and alienate half the fanbase.

Oh this is fun I've got a few predictions

1 Britney Spears will finally wise up and stop paying K-Fed those child support checks (it's expensive to live in Hawaii anyway)

2 KC wins the super bowl and I do a happy dance

3 I still troll Dallas fans after the super bowl since they will come out of woodwork saying we are coming back next year as always

4 Emma Watson comes out of hiding and marries some random guy we've never heard of

5 Aquaman gets a 3rd movie after they recast Mira with Emilia Clarke and issue a public apology for shit show movie #2

6 Disney never recovers from tragic misuse of star wars franchise and stock ends up in bargain bins

7 Disney admits they messed up not knowing what to do with the Star Wars franchise handing it back to Lucas where he restores the original canon

8 MCU gets sold off after disaster year and fires all "woke" employees just to get away from it

9 New Harry Potter reboot found to be a bad idea and they stop production before they lose their shirts over it

10 Writers get back to work after strike but they smoke way more weed than they need to to balance out the bad scripts that came out before the strike hit leading to more layoffs again

[DanielO]

1. People stop whining about too much Taylor Swift and accept her utter omnipresence. Taylor, realizing she's proved her point, announces she'll stop touring and recording and reveals that she and Selena Gomez have been secretly married for 9 years. Selena then admits that the Justin Bieber relationship was a complete fake, that, in fact, Justin Bieber never existed, he was CGI. Haley Bieber issues a terse "no comment" and goes into hiding. Travis Kelce refuses to appear in public, not even for Chiefs games, resulting in KC losing in the AFC playoffs to the Buffalo Bills.

2. Marvel announces they are getting out of the movie business. A Marvel spokesman says "The only one in the company who ever wanted to make films was Stan (Lee). The rest of us just went along with it because it made him so happy. Now we're going back to what we always wanted to do: publishing comic books."

3. With both cable and streaming services losing popularity, the hot trend becomes over-the-air broadcasting. Millions desperately descend on their parents and grandparents' basements and attics in search of rabbit ears antennae.
