NotNow

Love will definitely be a better movie. It may have been boring and had its limitations, but it had a good actor and a legit director. The acting here is horrendous, if you mean actual story that you can actually pay attention to im sure that will be better but that’s about it.

Oh that’s where I got utah from, yep now I remember “3 day summit in utah got crammed into 2 hours before a show at a casino”

He pitched modlife and the whole fan base thing and blink as a multimedia project. They did a retreat in Utah. I think things were to off the rails at the point which is why I said 2005. If blink has grown organically and Tom not having soured the well, I could have seen mark and Travis more inclined to try out those types of things and giving Tom a shot. and just rewatched the trailer and the score is the best thing about it. Hopefully Ilan and Aaron won’t feel bad when everyone shits on it because I’m sure their part in it will be great

It’s sad because if Tom never left blink in 2005, he probably could have built blink into this massive multimedia project thing for adolescents and mark and Travis could have kept things within reason and gotten massive funding from labels, investors, etc. under the blink name to do these ambitious things he wanted to. Instead this is the type of stuff we’ve gotten since 2005, cool ideas that are underfunded / half assed and completely chaotic in direction since he has to have all of the control. Its not unbelievable to me that blink would be playing stadiums right now like Coldplay and the killers and potentially even theatrical movies they help produce; but this is where we are.

That trailer has terrible acting but decent enough for a saturday night Netflix hate watch. The joke at the end was actually funny

A PPP loan? Get fucked. Fraudulent ppp loans are part of the reason we’re in this mess right now

Tom can lick my nuts. This is horrifying and predatory. His last investment round was taking $250 from random kids that have no idea what investing is and then diluted it to shit so that there money is worthless. The same thing will happen here. The entire “asset” of this company is the creative brain of Tom Delonge. If he dies, it’s value is 0 over night hence there’s no value in this as an investor. He’s also had so many years doing this I just can’t believe he has the audacity to pull this shit again. This is so FUCKED. And as we’re entering a recession dude is trying to do a crowdfunded series A because venture capitalists have stopped the flow of cash lmao. If real investors believed in this with Tom’s access to angel investors and vc’s, crowd funding would not be necessary. Edit: the one guy they have listed for entertainment (which is the only area there’s tangible value) is Stan spry and he listed strange times on tbs as upcoming productions but to the stars confirmed that tbs decided to not move forward with strange times a long time ago lmao. Something isn’t right here

Don’t remember the last time I’ve listened to California outside of Misery so I would qualify that as aging poorly for me

Sum 41 has to cash in on that MGK money now https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/sum-41-new-album-heaven-hell-deryck-whibley-1324752/amp/

Rivera cuomo released thousands of demos in November of 2020. Hundreds of fully recorded demo tracks, variations of different songs, iPhone voice memos. You could buy essentially everything he ever recorded for a specific album for 9.99 each. It’s a niche audience sure, but weezer got the most hype from hardcore fans in the ten years I’ve followed fan sentiment of the band and then they releases two new albums in 2021. A demo dump like that is a wet dream for hardcore fans

Was the part about working with Tom included?

Yea I don’t think they’ve been secretly recording. It doesn’t seem like Tom’s been doing anything since the ava tour ended except for post-production on his movie. But making plans for the next two years together behind the scenes? I think that’s definitely possible. Also can mark even do a 40 show tour performing 90 minutes every night? It doesn’t sound like he considers himself well enough to do something like that or to be booking shows and think hopefully he’ll have the fitness needed in six months. I doubt the planned reunion tour Jason is discussing is blink. Maybe a couple one offs in major markets to test his performance ability later this year?

Seeing marks story just now and acknowledging a Tom based ava heavy blink song from neighborhoods just made me realize how desperate I am for this to happen. I feel like I haven’t gotten any good new music from the bands I love since the pandemic started and I’ve been listening to music a lot less. I know we have so many problems with Tom, but this would mean a lot to people if this happened and we got another new album.

Yea he just barely survived intense cancer and full of radiation ya twat

Blink is such a large band that if Jason tate knew about a secret reunion that’s already planned, it would have already leaked by someone else imo. It does line up though, Tom brings back blink anytime he has a movie to promote. /s

Yea exactly. If neighborhoods preorders went up after the Grammys with a single and reunion tour and then came out in June with the reunion tour, it would have gotten way more publicity and eyes on it.

There would be way more publicity and hype just from announcing it when they’re ready and already have things stuff done. Especially when the majority of fans already know how terribly the first reunion announcement went. I don’t know why a label wouldn’t be supportive of that.

I agree there’s definitely weird vibes and hushness. Anyone that’s been a hardcore since before the first reunion can tell when something is up in this universe

Sounds like every mgk song that’s come out since 2018. I don’t like new blink but this is definitely not better than lifeforms or nine.

I mean Matt’s a touring musician. He likely factored this tour into what his income for the year would be and now it’s not happening. I’d be pissed

I’ve grown into this mentality. I might wait a day or multiple days to text someone back, come on here two to three times a week to check things. I think it’s just a teenager and young adult thing. I’m nearing 30 and I see a change of behavior in my peers too versus five years ago. You just respond when you feel like it and no one is expecting you to get back to them on any timeline unless it’s some time sensitive question. When I was 16, if a girl didn’t text me back after thirty minutes it was demoralizing lol. It’s weird reflecting on your teenage years being so far removed

Tom called him like the day mark found out coincidentally. He didn’t really have a chance too. I wouldn’t expect him to have told him in the first group of close friends and family, but probably in the broader group after he had time to absorb it. He was posting chemo photos on his close friends on Instagram so he was comfortable with everyone around him knowing.

Yea I’m more sure than ever something is happening behind the scenes. They’ve clearly discussed the possibility at the very least personally or they wouldn’t all be discussing it like this in an interview including skiba even if theyre coy about it. Maybe things are in motion, maybe not. I think if Tom comes back skiba gracefully steps aside even if they offer to have him stay idk though.
