Infinite Thread Part 14: User Submissions Are Disabled (permanently?)

Everything negative that has ever happened with MCS has been because of user submitted content, but I’ve been stalwartly dedicated to keeping the site open to being a community of like minded people who can share images of varying degrees of importance.  Turns out that there’s a whole community of other people out there that are completely ruining our community and are either taking advantage of our upload system, or taking advantage of the legal system to try to extract money from us.

Jokes on them though, this site (still) doesn’t make more than 5-10 bucks in profit every month.

But I’m tired of the fight.  I’ll figure something out for the site, we’re still going to have a ton of content rolling through, but as of this update, we’re no longer allowing anyone to upload any images to any of the MCS Spaces.

We made it to 20 years of idiots sharing stupid pictures with each other, now we’ll be doing it without uploads to a server that I personally have any relation with.

Björk was asked to perform a duet at the 1994 Brit Awards with Meatloaf. She turned it down, saying it’s like pairing “chocolate and onions”. Björk asked for PJ Harvey instead and the rest is history.

“Jeff Arcuri: Nice to Meet You” Review

Jeff Arcuri’s rapid-fire wit is nonstop as he balances outrageous jokes with heartfelt reflections on making his wife laugh during her cancer journey.

This guy’s pretty funny and has a very specific way of working a crowd that gets old after about an hour, but golly, would you look at that, this special is about an hour long. He’s quick on his feet, very witty, and is the perfect example of an active listener.

“The Short History of the Long Road” Review

Nola grew up living in a van with her father, Clint—two nomads against the world. When tragedy strikes, Nola must confront the reality of life on the road alone, learning to own her grief, her past, and her new destination.

Much sadder than I though it was going to be, I only found my way to this film because the Danny Trejo scene showed up on Tik Tok a few times. Sabrina Carpenter is completely unrecognizable here in comparison to her blonde music persona, which is of course a normal thing for artists to keep their various efforts slightly apart from each other, but I feel like this is less like a Miley Cyrus situation than a complete paradigm shift for her as an entertainer.

“Dragon Striker” Review

In a world where sports and magic combine, farm boy Key discovers his ultrapowerful natural talent and learns he could be the legendary Dragon Striker.

I watched the first episode of this on a lark when I ran on out X-men ’97 episodes to watch and holy moly was I absolutely blown away by the high quality of everything about this show. It’s tightly scripted and moves extremely fast, but I enjoyed every moment of it. The action is way way over the top, but for me it was a perfect way to wake up my eye/brain combo.

A review for a movie that’s not even released yet?

There was a leak and it was all over the internet! Go to your favorite shady streaming site and check it out, it’s a great movie.

OR BETTER YET, wait until it’s released on Paramount+ in a few weeks and check it out there. It’s a warm and fuzzy experiences getting back to Team Avatar and see what they’re getting up to a few years after we last saw them.
