#sab salt party

[eerna]

im gonna be real with you all the tgt netflix deal is the worst thing that could have happened to six of crows like i dont think even a solo soc adaptation can save the newly created baggage from the current show unless its a complete "reboot" that ignores sab or whatever but thats even more unlikely than a separate adaption

I agree wholeheartedly. SaB ruined SoC's chances at becoming the next teen TV show royalty. I am willing to bet that it could have been the biggest thing they've produced in years if they just chose to adapt it first and SaB later. But now it's too late because all the characters and backstories were rewritten to fit the SaB plotline and we can never go back to "six small-time but talented thieves fight a whole city". Here's to hoping someone else picks it up in 10 years for a reboot because this could make so much money it's not even funny like I THOUGHT YOU LOVED MONEY WHY WOULD YOU SAY NO TO MONEY-

1 (sabo murders parents) & 7 (space cowboy prince)?

1. title??? fuck it: that one where sabo murders his parents

this one is honestly one of my favourite aus…I say that abt a lot of aus tho so like. bucket of salt tbh it’s slow and sad and it’s a lot of balancing trust and lying and accidental truth-obstruction and. Woof. Hurts real good. Sabo murdering his parents is actually the catalyst for the whole plot and happens in like, the very first paragraph aha. It’s a….small country town AU sorta thing, where Ace is a deputy and Sabo is the son of the resident crime lords who are trying to Fuck Everything Up, and Marco technically becomes his accomplice as Sabo sets about taking over his parents’ criminal empire? 

Oh and also Sabo needs an alibi for the murder of his parents so Marco claims that they were hanging out together on a date. So there is like…SO MUCH SAD SHIT?? And then also the BACKGROUND PLOT OF “SABO NOW HAS A FAKE BOYFRIEND”.

Here’s part of the plan for my favourite scene:

[readmore]

Sabo and Ace have a piano…’cause like, Sabo’s parents bought him the place?? And stocked it with all of their shit so they could use his place as an alternate party-hosting sorta thing, when they wanted a more “intimate” feel and all that. Ace moved in to help pay rent after Sabo’s parents get Shittier, and there’s not arguments about the piano, persay, but Ace doesn’t like it because it makes Sabo sad, but Sabo won’t get rid of it because “well I put all that practice into the skill, what if we ever want to host a party with live music?”

And one time waaaaay after Mar/Sab start kinda accidentally implying they run a criminal empire/are taking over for Sabo’s parents, Sabo comes home and flops onto the couch and Marco looks around in restless desire for distraction and asks, “Do you play?”

Sabo laughs, short and bitter, and says, “You could say that.” 

“Play something for me?”

(and Sabo….hasn’t even played for Ace, not really, not unless you count the times Ace has walked in on Sabo sitting at the piano, his hands on the keys but no melody playing)

He pulls himself from the couch and walks over and looks at Marco for a minute, then to the piano, and…(it’s the first time Marco has seen his hands shake)

Gently presses a key, ringing and high, and then another,a single diddy, and looks at Marco as if to say is that enough? (and maybe alsowhat do you want from me, only that’snever really been something he can ask people because usually they just take)

Before Marco has an answer sabo shifts to sit down andputs his hands on the keys (and takes a deep breath that makes him sit uppretty and perfect the way he’s been trained, the expression on his face blankand bored, but then-)

(Marco sits next to him on the bench, and it’s short, sothey’re pressed together, side to side, and Sabo faces the piano and Marcofaces out but there’s a whole line where their bodies meet)

Sabo jolts and hits some keys by accident,discordant and startled, and Marco grins and Sabo glares and then playssomething properly

Simple at first, then harder, because he knows how(because he wants to impress)

And then he chances a look over and Marco’s watching him,some indescribable feeling on his face, like he’s breathless, like he’sthinking, and then he seems to come to some decision

They’re already close so it’s easy to…lean in, his lipsclose to the curve of Sabo’s mouth and his fingers falter, a dropped chord heldlong by the pedal as he ducks his head, unwilling to kiss Marco (And Ace, Ace, whatabout Ace? he thinks, guilt welling up like a flood, but Marco’s lips aregrazing his cheeks, like a question, like please, and…like longing and desireand Sabo has never felt wanted. Not like this.)

Marco kisses his cheek, the corner of his lip, and thenSabo tilts his head and kisses him back properly, kisses him breathless, kisseshim and feels like his heart is crawling out his throat, is escaping on everybreath and stealing into Marco’s lungs because his chest feels hollow and ithurts so bad, to kiss him)

The last chord fades away but neither of them notice,Sabo’s hands come off the keys to grip at Marco’s biceps, and he shifts, movesso he can press in closer, so they can lean together, and Marco’s fingertipscreep under his shirt and

(Neither of them notice Ace standing in the loungedoorway, his keys in his limp hand and papers slipping from his grasp)

7. space cowboy prince au

this one is WAY FUNNIER so like PREPARE FOR TONAL WHIPLASH. Lucky and I were talking about the aus I had and I was like “at one point part of what I did to make aus was think of AUs I liked and just smush them together” and she was like “what” and I was like “yeah that’s why I have one au that’s like, space cowboy princes” and she just went “tell me that right now”

a lot of the uhh…world building?? is a combination of doctor who-ish themes and firefly and also I was watching the Disney Pocahontas and thinking about colonisation so the plot gets wild but the basis is Ace is a cowboy (eyy) on a farming/waystop planet, and his dad being Roger is common knowledge but most people are…okay about it, or don’t recognise him. And the people that do are dicks, but also…no-one…cares, I suppose? Or, they care, but at the point of the story he’s twenty and buff and the planet’s sheriff (inherited from his mom) so nobody wants to mess with him. (Also I just realised both of these aus have Ace as a sheriff tho so that’s interesting, but anyway) the interplanetary alliance ((marines)) come by with some trumped up charges and arrest him and his mom kicks a stink and so do his friends but then threatening to blow up the planet and Ace is like woAH no way and agrees to go with them to the Core, but tHEN! on the way to the core, he meets Marco, who is an alien that lives on a planet where they have the draft, basically. And Marco was 1000% planning to defect but then heard the bullshit with Ace and was like WELP I can wait for a little. He steals Ace’s files and deletes the spare copies, and then he and Ace make off in a shuttle for the Whitebeard pirates, who’ve been in contact with Marco for a while and who have arranged a meet up.

But! Before they arrive, the revolutionaries show up to Fuck Shit Up (Rouge called in a Favour) and Marco/Ace get caught in the backlash and shuffled onto the Revolutionary ship as prisoners/ship wreck survivors. TBH they’re not reeeeally prisoners - or, at least, Ace isn’t - but Marco’s still wearing his uniform and (dun dun) the Revolutionary army know that he’s Prince on his planet so they don’t believe he’d run away to join pirates.

Anyway then we meet Sabo, who can hmm…he’s…an empath??? technically?? through touch he can do Psychic Bullshit (as the plot demands snickers) but 95% of the time it’s to figure out People. It’s why he wears gloves and long sleeves though - using his powers to much gives him really awful headaches. 

So anyway there’s a whole plot of him having amnesia and Ace not recognising him and Sabo getting his hands on the file that Marco stole and accidentally picking up a strange amusement from the person who wrote it? And he figures out they weren’t being sincere when they wrote all the shit about ace, and that they wanted him for something else, and then he reads the last bit/gets a last flash of knowledge, and shock hits him like a baseball bat. ‘Cause the file has a mind-blowing piece of knowledge about Ace’s….hm, role on his home planet, and the real reason that the marines wanted him. 

Oh yeah and it ends with Marco having to get married for the Good of His People and Ace is surprisingly the one who gets what tf is going on with the Feelings Mess between the three of them, lol. (Hysterical considering Sabo is literally an empath.)

Ta-da!

Hoodie

For Jashiweek, Part 1: Morbid Monday

Summary: AU inspired by the Hey Violet song “Hoodie.” Ashi does not know how she can go on with her life after a tragedy, but a greater destiny awaits her... Originally written for to-my-ovaries. 

Rating: T for mentions of sex

Fanfiction link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12604779

It had been two days after the funeral, but life could not go on. Ashi wondered how everything could go on—adults go to their jobs, children play and go to school, people eat at least three meals a day, there were parties and dinners and banquets—without Jack present or alive. The world was meaningless, and she hated how few people seemed to care as much as she did.

She was slow to remove her sweatpants and T-shirt, the latter covered in snot and tears, and picked up his white-and-gray hoodie from the bed. He loved that hoodie, a relic of the high-school fencing team he started and thrived in, and wore it every day after changing out of his work clothes. She held the shoulder to her nose and sniffed. It still smelled of him, still had traces of his cologne—oh, it used to bother her so much, but she came to love it and buy it for him for the past two Christmases. The half-empty bottle was still at his apartment…what would have been theirs until they had enough to move into their dream house.

Technically, he owned the apartment, but she spent the night for five to six nights a week, only going back to her apartment to change or pick up clothes for work. She loved cuddling to him in bed, kissing each other to sleep, and opening her legs for them to become intimate. They would have kept on in their new house. It was perfect—between their families’ houses, within a thirty-minute drive to each of their workplaces, and in a good school district. All they had to do was move everything in, get married, and move onto the next adventure.

Now she was too depressed to go to either apartment or even think of what would have been her new home, so his grief-stricken parents allowed her to stay with them for as long as her father allowed her off work. Her would-be in-laws let her sleep in his old room, but he smelled differently as a teenager; he wore a different cologne and body wash. All she had was his favorite hoodie, the hoodie that he eventually started wearing to bed every night she slept over.

The zipper that ran down the sternum was broken, had been for years, but he never had it fixed, and she didn’t intend to because it would get rid of a part of him. He never smoked, but it had cigarette burns from all those afternoons he spent chatting with friends between classes, work, and birthday drinks. She loved every hole in it because it told a different story of the friends he had. It became her favorite clothing and, after he passed, the only thing she’d wear to sleep. Once or twice, she caught herself with the strings between her teeth, a habit from childhood, and would scold herself for ruining what he left her.

He had been the perfect man for her. The day they met, both ordering milkshakes at Extra Thicc Shoppe for colleagues, they began talking and discovered how much they had in common. The line was long, and the milkshakes took almost twenty minutes to make, so they had plenty of time to discuss music, the law firm where he was a clerk, and her working alongside her father, the town veterinarian. Before she left, he handed her his number and asked her out on a date. They ended up having such a great time that on their second date, breakfast the next morning, she knew she wanted to keep seeing him.

They had been dating steadily for one year when he asked her to marry him. She agreed before he could finish his proposal. Their families were watching, their mothers weeping and their fathers clanking beers, her sisters screaming their throats sore. They spent the entire next day in bed, kissing and admiring the ring she wore.

It was so long ago, it seemed. It had only been a year ago when he proposed and less than a week ago when she lost him. He was returning home from a business trip and in time for them to plan the wedding, from the music to the reception ballroom to the guests. She had been looking at and smelling different flowers for her bouquet when his father called her in tears. The taxi driver fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a brick bridge. Jack, then asleep at the front, was killed almost instantly.

She knew he was gone, but she would wear this hoodie every day of her life if she could. She didn’t know if she could ever fall in love again, get married, have children, and grow old with someone. She lost her life the same time he did, and they could never have a life together. She pushed her face into his pillow—the same pillow he had from high school, where he rested his own head, thick with his high-school smell—and wept until his father, Sab, opened the door and hugged her, his tears dripping onto her neck.

“I loved him so much,” she sobbed. “I’ll never accept that he’s gone, that you’ve lost your son.”

His hand rubbing her back was gentle. “He loved you so much,” he whispered, “and I knew you two were perfect for each other.”

He let her cry on his shoulder for thirty minutes before she wept herself to sleep. Then he lowered her onto his son’s bed, pulled the blanket over his would-be daughter-in-law’s hips, and closed the door.

She dreamed about Jack. They rarely argued, but she could never watch a movie with him in peace because he was always talking about it or to it. They used to hug each other when one was vacuuming or dusting his apartment. They always cooked together and made fun of each other if the results were nothing like his parents’ or as shown on Food Network. They sang to the radio together, laughing if one of them messed up the lyrics.

He’d slide into the shower behind her, either to steal a quick kiss or wash her hair for her. Rarely would those showers not lead to sex. She loved being bare in front of him, having him see her body for what it was. He loved every inch of her, and he wasn’t exaggerating when he said that—freckles didn’t bother him, nor did the backside she wished was firmer, and who cared that she had a bit of a pudgy stomach that made her look three-months pregnant? There was just more to love and kiss.

They made love all the time, in the living room, in the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom, even the hallway. There was a fire between them, one that would not die out no matter how tired they were. They knew the other was worried that the passion would die after the wedding, but they were determined to keep it alive and full. They still talked about having as many children as possible, raising a canine, and loving each other till death do them part.

She missed his muscled arms, his broad chest, the long hair he pulled back into a low ponytail. Every time they made love, she used to let his hair down, no matter how many times he rolled his eyes, like undoing his ponytail was the only thing that aroused her. She used to braid his hair if he fell asleep first just to see his expression when he woke up. She loved hearing him whisper her name every time she kissed down his neck and shoulders before he kissed her body in return.

She missed their bodily connection, even when they woke up. He always caressed her cheek, lowered the blanket from her hips to move his hand up her curvy waist, trace the line of her hipbone. She rubbed her thumb over his cheekbone, slid her hand under his arm to touch his underarm hair, smooth her fingertip against his lips.

Ashi continued to cry in her sleep. They were just memories and dreams, but he felt too real to her.

It was three days after the funeral—the day she would have gone wedding-dress shopping with her mother, sisters, and soon-to-be mother-in-law. Yet the only thing she could think of were the luxury baths he used to give her, with the bath salts, the soothing music, the sweet body wash, the foot rubs, and the shampooing. He did that at least once a month and always wrote her a note telling her how much he loved her.

Ashi refused to look at herself as she washed her tear-stained face, for she might trick herself into thinking that Jack was right behind her like every morning, ready to shave and, as always, kiss her. Once she rinsed her skin, she looked at the three toothbrushes standing in the holder. She wanted to cry. She remembered him brushing his teeth, how he brushed quietly, always used black-and-red toothbrushes, and didn’t like to spit in the sink with her around. Now she could never hear or see that again.

She prepared to clean her own teeth even though she hadn’t eaten anything yet when just the thought of putting her toothbrush in her mouth and so close to her throat almost made her gag. She swallowed the urge to vomit, set down the toothbrush, and walked downstairs.

Lauren, her hair tangled, stared at her cup of tea like it was a movie while Sab set three bowls on the table.

“Glad you woke up, Ashi,” he told her as she sat down. “This may not be perfect, but I made oatmeal, the way he always ate it, with brown sugar, strawberries, bananas—”

Suddenly, the sight of the food made her feel sick again. Not only did he continue to eat like that, but she couldn’t imagine stomaching food anymore. She ran from the kitchen and into the nearest bathroom.

Lauren lifted her head when she heard vomiting. “Is she okay?” Sab asked as he slowly sat down in his usual seat. “What did she eat last night?”

“The usual,” Lauren said quietly. “Nothing.”

She filled a glass with cold water to give to Ashi, who did not leave for twenty minutes. She rinsed her mouth, drank the water, and quietly excused herself to take a nap, leaving only to blow her nose with toilet paper and wolf down the chicken wings Sab made for lunch. Then she scrubbed her teeth and went to bed with the same heavy heart. When she would get sick, Jack used to call in sick as well so he could secretly nurse her back to health and keep her company. He cooked for her, helped her bathe, rubbed her back, bought her tissues, and washed her dirty clothes and sheets for her. She would do the same for when he fell ill. 

Still, Ashi thought it was unusual for her to vomit, especially when she rarely ate anything, and she wondered if this was some kind of stress reaction...

Four days passed, but Ashi woke up every day feeling sick. She had been nauseated since she lost her true love, but she wasn’t vomiting until after the funeral. When Sab called her parents on the third day, they asked if she ate anything in the morning, but Sab said no, not yet. Her father asked his wife if this was a stress reaction to the loss, but she said no, for Ashi never threw up when stressed. Sab hung up with worry in his heart that he might have to have his son’s soulmate hospitalized.

It was the day she, her sisters, Jack, and their parents were supposed to have their cake tasting. Ashi woke up too sick to eat and almost immediately had her face in the wastebasket. Her head hurt, and she noticed that her breasts felt extremely tender under the hoodie. Feeling weird, she carefully cupped one and winced when it gave her mild pain. 

Bile soared up her throat again, and she woke Jack’s parents, who were reluctant to leave their bed, and Lauren entered the bedroom within seconds. Her head had come up with such a simple question that she could not yet bring her lips to say. It wasn’t until they reached the bathroom, her hand rubbing the younger woman’s back, that she had the courage to ask: “Did you and my son, you know, have sex a lot before he died?”

Ashi spat into the toilet and moaned. “Of course we were. Hate to sound rude, but almost every night—” She lurched again, and Lauren stood up. She called for Sab to keep an eye on Ashi while she ran a quick errand.

“Where are you going?” he asked, but she had vanished after grabbing her keys and wallet. He sat on the edge of the tub and carefully caressed Ashi’s back for five minutes until she slumped against the wall, chin coated in vomit. He wiped it off with toilet paper and helped her rinse her mouth. “Let me get you a glass from the kitchen,” he said. “Keep yourself hydrated, and then we’ll get you something to eat, okay?”

Her heart pounding, though keeping her excitement low, Lauren drove to the nearest convenience store and came back with a small box. Sab’s eyes widen when he saw through the plastic bag. “You’re serious?”

“Obvious symptoms,” she said as he carried the empty water glass to the sink. “Plus, her mother said she herself went through this every time she was…you know.” Before she went upstairs, she froze. “She didn’t eat or drink anything yet, right?”

“Not yet,” he said. “I was going to give her ice water.”

Sab hurried to his bedroom to make the bed and change clothes, hoping it would take his mind off what was happening to Ashi. He didn’t know whether to feel excited or nervous. He remembered the excitement he felt when his own wife was doing the same thing, but he didn’t know if he could feel the same with his late son’s fiancée being the one in the bathroom.  

Ashi, still in the bathroom and trying not to vomit, paled when she could what was in the bag, but she took it with shaky hands. “You don’t think—”

“It’s worth a try,” Lauren said.

Ashi gulped. “Can you, you know, stay here while I do it? I don’t want to be alone.”

Lauren smiled softly, nodded, and put her hand on Ashi’s knee. “Of course I will.”

She read aloud the instructions while a red-faced Ashi prepared herself and closed her eyes. “I can’t do it. I can’t make myself—”

“This always helped me when I was taking the test,” Lauren said as she turned on the shower, which also allowed her to rinse out the dirty wastebasket. Ashi blushed deeper when it worked, but she kept looking at the stopwatch in her hand. “One, two, three, four, five, six—”

Lauren turned off the shower. “And then put the cap on and set it down on a flat surface.”

Ashi obeyed, set it on the counter, and was quick to wipe herself, pull up her underwear and sweatpants, and wash her hands. She flushed the toilet with her elbow and stared at the stopwatch, counting down to twenty seconds. “If—If it’s—”

“Then we’ll help you take care of it, if you choose to keep it,” Lauren said. “If not, if you don’t want to raise it, we understand.” She squeezed Ashi’s knee, and the younger woman knew in her heart what Lauren was afraid of. Even though it would be easier to keep it out of her life, she knew Lauren was afraid of losing another member of her family. “Don’t worry. You’ve been part of our family since before he asked you to marry him.”

“I wonder what Mom and Dad are going to say,” she whispered worriedly. “I know my dad was always ‘sex is for after marriage,’ and my mom’s going to give me hell about not using protection…”

Lauren didn’t say anything, but Ashi felt like a fool admitting that the woman’s own son was not “careful.” Then she wondered if Ashi would have been happy getting married while pregnant. Kind of a weird thing to want to wear a white gown then, with a baby bump underneath, she thought.

Outside, Sab knocked on the bathroom door. “May I come in, brush my teeth?” he asked. Lauren opened the door for him, and the first thing he saw was the test. He suddenly burst into tears and pulled Ashi into his arms.

“What’s wrong?” she asked as Lauren stood up. “Are you okay?”

He looked over her head, and she did the same to look at two tiny lines.

Plot

Dan Rayburn (Robin Williams) and Charlie Reed (John Travolta) are best friends and co-owners of a successful sports marketing firm. Seven years prior, Dan, recently divorced, married Vicki (Kelly Preston) after being whisked away by Charlie for a tropical vacation. The marriage, however, is short lived. Seven years later, Vicki resurfaces to tell Dan that their short marriage resulted in something he never suspected: twins Zach (Conner Rayburn) and Emily (Ella Bleu Travolta).

Vicki, facing jail time for her work as an environmental activist, asks Dan to take care of the kids while she does her time. Thinking this might be his chance to get back with Vicki, Dan agrees, but only if Charlie will help him since neither have any experience taking care of kids. At the same time, the two must finalize a huge marketing deal with a Japanese company; something they've always dreamed of, but will take all of their talents to clinch.

Because Dan's condo does not allow children, he has to board with Charlie. Whilst this is happening, Charlie and Dan are close to securing the biggest account in the history of their careers with the Japanese corporation. Charlie and Dan's attempts to take care of the kids are well-intentioned, but very misguided. On a trip with the kids to an overnight camp, a hard-nosed camp instructor (Matt Dillon) becomes convinced that Dan and Charlie are homosexual partners. The trip ends with a bang after Dan accidentally sets a beloved statue of the camp's founder on fire.

The kids then proceed to spill and replace Charlie and Dan's prescriptions, mixing them up in the process. Dan then must play a game of golf with the Japanese executives while experiencing extreme side effects and Charlie tries to woo Amanda (Lori Loughlin) with a face frozen by the pills.

Desperate to help Dan communicate with the children despite his inexperience with children, Charlie recruits his friend Jimmy Lunchbox (Bernie Mac), a flamboyant children's entertainer, who is famous around the world. Jimmy comes by and straps Dan and Charlie in motion control puppet suits so Charlie can help Dan make all the right moves with his daughter while having a tea party. The suits malfunction, but Dan speaks from the heart, winning over Emily but his speech makes Jimmy emotional. Everything is great with Vicki as she returns home upon having served time in jail. However, the guys have sealed their Japanese deal, sending junior associate Craig (Seth Green) to Tokyo. When Craig goes missing after arriving there, Charlie and Dan must fly to Tokyo themselves to work. Dan must leave the kids and Vicki despite his (and their) desire to be a family.

Once in Tokyo, Dan realizes that what he really wants is to be a good father. He leaves the meeting without sealing the deal, rushing with Charlie to Vermont for the kids' birthday party. They aren't able to get into the Burlington Zoo in time and are forced to break in with the help of Craig. However, they mistakenly wind up in the gorilla enclosure. Though Dan and Charlie escape, Craig is captured by the gorilla (which takes a strong liking to him).

Dan then pays a birthday party performer hired by Vicki to use his jet pack and suit, flies into the ceremony and wins his kids back over. When the jet pack stops working in mid-air, he is taken to an ambulance on a stretcher. One year later, Dan and Vicki are together, Charlie has married Amanda, and Craig has become like a new "uncle" to the kids.

Reception

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 5%, based on 108 reviews, with an average rating of 2.3/10. The site's consensus reads, "Its cast tries hard, but Old Dogs is a predictable, nearly witless attempt at physical comedy and moral uplift that misses the mark on both counts."[2] The film was ranked number three on their list of the ten most moldy films of 2009.[3] At Metacritic, Old Dogs received an aggregated rating of 19 out of 100, based on 22 reviews, indicating "overwhelming dislike."[4]

Film critic Roger Ebert gave Old Dogs a rating of one star out of a possible four.[5] Ebert opened his review commenting, "'Old Dogs' is stupefying dimwitted. What were John Travolta and Robin Williams thinking of? Apparently their agents weren't perceptive enough to smell the screenplay in its advanced state of decomposition".[5]

The Salt Lake Tribune gave Old Dogs a rating of zero stars out of a possible four, and criticized the film for "hammy acting and sledgehammer editing".[6] Film critic Roger Moore of The Orlando Sentinel gave Old Dogs a rating of one and a half stars out of a possible four.[7] "Trashing Old Dogs is a bit like kicking a puppy. But here goes. The new comedy from some of the folks who brought us Wild Hogs is badly written and broadly acted, shamelessly manipulative and not above stopping by the toilet for a laugh or two," wrote Moore.[7]

Bill Goodykoontz of The Star Press gave the film a critical review, and commented, "Old Dogs, which stars Robin Williams and John Travolta as a couple of aging bachelors who suddenly have twins thrust upon them, delivers everything you’d expect. Which is: not much."[8] He concluded his review with, "Let’s hope Williams, Travolta and the rest got a fabulous payday for Old Dogs. Because otherwise, you know, woof."[8] In a review for The Arizona Republic, Goodykoontz gave the film a rating of one and a half stars out of a possible five.[9]

Writing for the San Jose Mercury News in an analysis of movies that were released around Thanksgiving, Randy Myers placed Old Dogs below "The Scraps: Leftovers that should be immediately placed in Fido's bowl."[10] Myers commented, "We have a winner in the Thanksgiving movie turkey contest."[10] Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote, "Too bad this shrilly tuned comedy doesn't demand more than clock-punching effort from everyone involved."[11] Tim Robey of The Telegraph savaged the film, saying, "Old Dogs is so singularly dreadful it halts time, folds space and plays havoc with the very notion of the self."[12] He added to the review, "Being a film critic is a wonderful job, but there are weeks when the bad film delirium strikes and we’d all be better off in straitjackets. A colleague opined to me the other day that this might be the deadliest run of releases in his 20-year history on the job, and I can completely see that." He also said, "You'd have to hate your family to take them to this!" He gave the film zero stars.

Writing for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Carrie Rickey gave the film a rating of two and a half stars out of four.[13] Rickey commented of the multiple cameos in the film, "A child of 5 can see that these brief appearances serve to pad a gauze-thin script."[13] The review concluded, "Old Dogs may not be good. But the sight of pesky penguins pecking Travolta and Green in the embrace of an unlikely partner makes it just good enough."[13] Pete Hammond of Boxoffice gave the film 3/5 stars, and concluded, "Old Dogs may not reach the box office heights of Wild Hogs but its fun family friendly attitude should guarantee a healthy holiday haul."[14]

Box office

In its first day, Old Dogs opened in fifth place, with a take of $3.1 million.[15][16] It was beat out in first-day box office results by New Moon, The Blind Side, 2012, and Ninja Assassin.[15][16] The film came in fourth in its second day with $4.1 million, for a two-day pickup of $7.2 million.[17] The film remained in fourth place for its third day, with a box office take of $6.8 million.[18] Overall, the film grossed $96,753,696 worldwide on a budget of $35,000,000.[19]

The movie was also a moderate success on DVD, gaining more than $20,000,000 (20 million dollars) domestically during its first two months of release.[20]

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “possessed by the devil” of Congress-mukt Bharat, and his only accomplishment in the last four years is to have undone the good work of the previous Congress governments, United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi said on Tuesday.  Holding her first election rally in two years, Gandhi said all sections of society were facing problems, and questioned Modi on his “favorite promise” of ending corruption.  “Modi ji is proud that he can make speeches well. I agree he is a good orator. He speaks like an actor. If speeches could fill the country’s stomach, I wish he gave more speeches,” she said, taking a swipe at the prime minister. Gandhi never campaigned in an election after she was suddenly taken ill during a road show in Varanasi ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls.  Her election rally was seen as an attempt to give a cutting edge to the blitzkrieg launched by his son and Congress president Rahul Gandhi to retain power in Karnataka, the only major state their party rules apart from Punjab. With the UPA chairperson set to address a rally in Vijayapura hours after him, Modi had taken a dig at Rahul Gandhi, saying even leaders in his party doubted his ability to steer the Congress to victory in Karnataka. “Even Congress leaders have begun to feel that the son would not be able to help the party win Karnataka. I saw a Congress leader’s interview. So, send the mother to ensure its candidates can at least save their security deposits,” Modi said.Sonia Gandhi’s rally in Vijayapura in north Karnataka, where Lingayats wield considerable electoral influence, was also seen as an attempt to reach out to the community, which has traditionally backed the Bharatiya Janata Party.  The BJP, seeking to have a shot at forming its govenment in the only southern state where its has been in power, has projected Lingayat strongman B S Yeddyurappa as its chief ministerial candidate. In her speech, Sonia Gandhi said, “Modi ji has junoon (passion) of Congress mukt bharat. He is possessed by the devil of Congress mukt bharat (Congress mukht bharat ka bhoot laga hai). “Let alone Congress mukt bharat, he cannot tolerate (bardasht) anyone standing in front of him. The country is surprised that wherever he goes he speaks wrong. He distorts history, and for his political selfishness he uses our great freedom fighters as pawns on the chess board,” she said. Sonia said the language used by Modi does not behove a person holding the high office. She said while the prime minister kept on speaking on verious subjects, he avoided talking about “real issues”. “Which promise you made to people four years ago has been fulfilled? Tell what have you done for the country’s farmers? What has Modi ji done to provide employment to youth? What has he done for the middle class, women, girls, Dalits and backward classes?”  Taking on the prime minister over steps to tackle corruption, she wanted to know why the Lokpal, the proposed anti-graft ombudsman, had not been constituted. “What happened to your favorite promise of ending corruption? Four years have gone by but you didn’t bring Lokpal. What is your model to end corruption, Modi ji?” Alleging that several ministers in the erstwhile Yeddyurappa government faced charges of corruption, she asked Modi whether he will follow their model or that of the “son of your close associate”, an apparent reference to BJP chief Amit Shah’s son Jay. The Congress has been raking up the issue of Jay, the turnover of whose company was alleged to have shot up sharply after Modi came to power. Sonia alleged the Congress-ruled Karnataka was being discriminated against. She claimed while thousands of crores of rupees were extended by way of assistance to other drought-hit states, the Modi government “rubbed salt to the wounds” of farmers of Karnataka by giving “too little”. Sonia claimed Modi even refused to meet chief minister Siddaramaiah who wanted to discuss with him the problems of farmers. This, she said, was an insult to not only the chief minister but also the farmers of Karnataka and their families. “Modi ji, is this your sab ka saath, sab ka vikas? (together will all, development of all),” she asked. Gandhi said Modi came to Karnataka for election, made new “hollow promises and left after spreading hatred”. She asked voters to reject the BJP’s “politics of hatred and jumlas (rhetoric)”.  The Rediff.com : 8th. May,18

Gaadi valet mein lagaake Karun entry in the club Mera gaana sunna ho toh Ungli upar kardo sab

Bartender drinks lagaade Waiter tu bhi ek chadha le Compulsory shots baaton Nimboo nichodo salt chaato

Ladies and gentleman The bar is open

i’m just as worried for s&b season 2 fumbling the bag with the stellar cast but i’m loving the daytime ketterdam drone shot in the trailer since we only saw it at night time last season (don’t know what’s up with wylan and the butterfly and inej fighting someone in shu garb)

Yeeeesssss same, I paused the trailer right away to try and find familiar aspects of the city djdnsn. I can tell you right now what it's about. The Crows will be somehow involved in the fighting in Ravka. It's the dumbest idea ever. It was already difficult to believe their involvment in KoS, and now it's even worse. WHY. THEY DON'T SAVE THE WORLD. THE CROWS AREN'T SAVING THE WORLD. THEY AREN'T HERE FOR EPIC BATTLES BETWEEN GODS. THEY COMMIT CRIMES FOR MONEY AND BECOME BETTER PEOPLE THROUGH IT.

[eerna]

soc-biased grishaverse fans are that one squidward meme “bitches be like: can’t stand netflix s&b!” *10 minutes later* “me and the half-assed crumbs of the crows in the tv show 😍”

LITERALLY ME!!!!! LITERALLY!!!!!!!!! Do I think SaB ruined SoC's chance at getting a good adaptation? Absolutely. Do I get all happy whenever I see new content for said adaptation? 100%

[eerna]

I feel you on wanting a six of crows reboot bc at this point there’s no way they can faithfully adapt the books if the rumored spin-off is based on their show versions IMO. On top of season 1 already fundamentally changing half the crows’ characters and cheapening their development later on (and the whole kidnapping alina plot line which was ooc for all of them) the show is now completely cheapening the story and theme of soc by having these supposed nobodies already be involved in helping ravka’s civil war before the events of the duology. Like, the reason the ice court heist was such a big deal was bc it was really the crows’ first large scale heist and up until this point they were just kids fighting for themselves and to survive and were outcasts that nobody cared abt and were considered insignificant. you’re losing all of that by having kaz already lead a gang from the beginning and by having all the crows help the ravkan monarchy or Nikolai during this huge epic fantasy plot BEFORE the ice court and events of soc. also it makes big moments like making a deal with a king in ck and having nikolai find inej’s parents less impactful too, which sucks bc that scene in the books was so sweet but like with everything else the show is just going to cheapen it.

THEY WERE UNDERDOGS!!! WHO DOESN'T LOVE A SCRAPPY BAND OF KIDS BEATING A TON OF RICHER, MORE POWERFUL RIVALS!! Love it how in this universe, Kaz finding Inej's parents will be a "hey remember when he acted like an emotionless asshole and forbade her to try to find her parents even though they were in Ravka? well, he's sorry now!" situation instead of a kneecap-busting 12th hour romantic gesture.

[eerna]

The show could’ve easily hinted Jesper’s bisexuality by making it clear he had a crush on Kaz rather than just him hitting on that stablehand :-\ I thought it was gonna go that direction during the “Greed always works for me” “Go guard the door” scene. Would’ve been smart too because this is the crows as a trio first before they become six, and we can see him and Inej chat and sigh about how it’s stupid they both like him.. Would’ve been juicy, but no, they didn’t take that opportunity

Stablehand scene my beloathed... Anything would have been better than that. In the end it doesn't matter that much since the love triangle never creates any tension between anyone except Kaz and Jesper, but yeah, it's a little sad they cut it out. Maybe they were scared of queerbaiting accusations? Or thought two love triangles were too much for one show? Who knows

[eerna]

God yeah i’m also not super pumped over the crows joining in tgt scenarios again like all the other anons ☹️ not sure how i can articulate this well, but the trilogy seemed like such a large-scale battle for the nation of ravka, and that just doesn’t seem like the book-crows’ kind of journey.. i doubt they’d even willingly fight for their love of kerch, their hometown. i get that they’re probably paid by nikolai, but i would’ve preferred if they just stayed “ketterdam nobodies” and steered clear after their first encounter with the darkling in s1. plus, likee.. putting wylan (initially a barrel newbie in the book) immediately into a battle against evil shadow monsters in shu han(?) before the events of crooked kingdom they might wish to adapt soon?? i feel like the “he was just wylan van eck” moment would just feel pointless in the future because from the get-go, tv!wylan already had a high-stakes adventure due to his character being inserted in the siege & storm storyline… so the impact would be gone. BaAH these writers are wasting 98% accurate cast for the sake of what-if fanfiction of leigh bardugo’s characters 😫

Yeah. The Crows have no place in a big epic fantasy story. What about Kaz Brekker screams "I'll fight for a foreign country as a mercenary". He fights for himself. He despises political authorities. And then there's their societal status, and you're right, the reason they got involved in the Ice Court heist was because they were a bunch of youngester nobodies who nobody would notice went missing. Now Kaz is a Barrel boss fro the get-go and they have A KING AS AN ALLY BEFORE THE BOOK EVEN BEGINS LIKE. BE SERIOUS. Kaz sweetie I am so so so sorry for what they did to you and your bastardness

[eerna]

i love how even though we hate sab we love the crows more. god the ice court heist >>>

I am once again saying. I'm willing to forgive anything just to keep being exposed to Amita Suman as Inej Ghafa

[eerna]

Tbh I feel like most of the issues with the crows in the show can be boiled down to “this does not belong in a prequel story” bc it just completely takes away how satisfying some of the best moments in the duology are and it makes me rlly sad tbh.

Yeah :((( It would have costed 0 dollars to make it a REAL prequel, but instead sometimes they are acting like CK era characters........... idk man it's all so weird they are really giving us The Best Of reel in an attempt to cash in on the Crows' popularity

[eerna]

honestly sab is so frustrating because they do have many actors really great in their roles, especially with the crows and *this* is the tv show they’re using them in. on a side note, them continually skipping jesper’s crush on kaz loses them points too

BKjbkbkbkkjbdgs you literally just quoted my friend in a conversation we had yesterday re casting and show quality. It's so true. And yeah, there was an interview recently where they confirmed Jesper doesn't have feelings for Kaz in this version. On one hand, they're bringing Wylan in super early so I get it, on the other where is the funny self-destructive taste :(( We'll never get Jesper and Inej looking at each other and going "you too, huh?" :((

[eerna]

Another thing that seriously bothers me abt the show is that they’ve also cast per haskell for season two and that annoys me bc so much of the reason that kaz’s character and kanej were as butchered as they were in the show was to work around the implications of making kaz leader, and the fact that they decided to add per haskell in anyway just shows that they could have done that before and that they completely changed their characters for literally no reason. I think maybe the article mentioned that per haskell might be in a flashback, so they’re going to have kaz take over the gang before even the events of the ‘prequel’ (which like, makes his character so much less compelling honestly), but like, if they’re going to fit so much backstory in anyway they honestly could have put the whole per haskell thing in the present timeline in the show

Yeah there was 0 reason for us to see Pekka Rollins but not Per Haskell. My theory is that Kaz is a very tiny gang leader right now (.... in fact I don't remember the Crows being referred to as a gang except by Freddie in an interview. Jesper calls him "boss" but that could be in a job sense) so he chooses to join the Dregs to get more credibility. Idk man. They messed up.
