Simply put, a movie's release pattern shouldn't be the most interesting thing about it, and the stunt again invites the question -- especially after the service's creative dud "Bright" -- what aligning itself with expensive sci-fi misfires does to burnish the Netflix brand over the long haul.

Puffs of smoke form visions, 23 both alluring and menacing, until the diabolical "spirit of smoke" vows to teach Dud a lesson—and lifts him from the ground, through the clouds, to the moon, 24 while the dog cries and literally floods the street with its tears.

There are things about Lodge 49 that don't entirely work yet, to the degree that the show acknowledges it, right down to a scene where Liz and Dud admit they're once again making her the responsible killjoy while he's the loosey-goosey fun guy who joins lodges and goes on weird quests.

|
|
That's why each time I've written about the show, I've also written about how hard it is to explain, usually settling on discussing its raw premise — a young wastrel named Dud (Wyatt Russell) finds new purpose when he joins an ancient fraternal order (think the Masons) in the city of Long Beach, California.
|

There haven't been many clear waves of late as CES was a dud and MWC was essentially an attempt for small app and service providers to make a little extra money this year, but I sense a change in the air that I last felt when Linux was slowly entering the mobile space.

|
|
And though the Chinese builder of Sri Lanka's empty Hambantota port took control of it on a 99-year lease when the government struggled to pay interest, how China benefits from the dud project is far from clear (India has, in effect, a veto over the port's use by the Chinese navy).

This "love to hate" concept is an important distinction from plain old "dislike," given that Housewives who are thought of as sniveling, grouchy, boring, or simply rude eventually become universally ignored -- by their castmates, by the audience and eventually by the network itself, which usually fires them after one dud of a season.

It's a structure that would make most screenwriters weep, but by treating Suicide Squad less like a story and more like a sandbox where he can play with some of DC's more eccentric anti-heroes, Ayer delivers a deranged and deadly entertaining blockbuster that is just the shake-up this dud-studded summer needs.

After he went scoreless in an 18-minute dud in Game 3, Parker responded with 22 points, five assists, and four rebounds in Game 4, 16 points and six assists in Game 5, and, in by far his most impressive performance all year long, a 27-point gem to close things out on the road in Game 6.

The parade of beautiful, bloodied women in Mr. Refn's flashy dud — about a young model (Elle Fanning), newly arrived in Los Angeles — suggests that he fell under the spell of both Helmut Newton and David Lynch at an impressionable age, but without learning anything, including how to move beyond shocks or how to animate his visuals.

Dud has no money, and on top of occasional temp jobs, borrows more than he can afford from a local pawn broker, Burt (Joe Grifasi), and his perpetually cynical twin sister, Liz (Sonya Cassidy), who's employed at a Hooters-like restaurant as a waitress and is struggling to pay back their dad's crippling debt to the bank.

If you've ever been around someone who described themselves as "broke," because they didn't want to dip into their savings or ask for money from their parents, and if this drove you to the brink of insanity, then you'll probably relate to Dud and Liz, who are broke broke in sense of being actually broke and crushed by debt.

|
The story told by American officials, cyberexperts and Mr. Macron's own campaign aides of how a hacking attack intended to disrupt the most consequential election in France in decades ended up a dud was a useful reminder that as effective as cyberattacks can be in disabling Iranian nuclear plants, or Ukrainian power grids, they are no silver bullet.

One such series, which The New York Times named one of the best on TV last year, was AMC's "Lodge 49," which follows the misadventures of a down-and-out surfer, Dud (Wyatt Russell), who, moneyless, jobless and unapologetically aimless, somehow winds up finding purpose in a fraternal lodge that is home to eccentric Californians like himself.
|
|
The required action sequences are there, of course, and they're kind of cool (particularly one scene, in which the boat Lara has chartered is caught in a storm that literally rips it apart), but what really saves the film from being a dud is its focus on the development of its main character, a nuance that's usually missing from the genre.
|
|
You spent plenty of nights acting as a wing-person and dealing with really unfortunate people in the process; listening to countless tales about dates gone wrong (and really, really right); being the one to point out when it was time to ditch a dud; and subtly hinting — or, in some cases, accepting — your oldest partner-in-crime had found the one.
|

The rave, on the other hand, was, or so we're told time and time again by the people who were there and the people who make a living from wishing they had been, a site of total communality where every song was amazing and every pill was a world class one and there was no mud or comedowns or dud mixes.

The now-abandoned policy, drafted in 20163 under Robert Gates, the defense secretary at the time, required any submunitions used after 2018 to have a dud rate, or the percentage of submunitions that don't detonate when they are supposed to, of 1 percent or less — a standard the Pentagon appeared unable to meet, even a decade after the policy was put in place.
|
|
The effort to improve their reliability was driven in part by a directive from the secretary of defense in 2008 that would have prohibited the use existing cluster munitions like M26 rockets and DPICM artillery shells after 2018 because of their high dud rates, and mandated that only cluster weapons with a reliability rate over 99 percent could be used from then on.
|
|
For me, Lodge 49 clicked into place around the midpoint of its first episode, when Dud, sitting alone in a donut shop, muses about the dark turns his life has taken since he was bitten by a snake, which ruined his surfing career and led to the cascade of events that included the death of his father and his sister having to take a job at Shamroxx.
|

Mr. Nygard is among the more outré figures strutting a red carpet that tends also to feature Oscar royalty (Jon Voight, Shirley Jones, Martin Landau), actor stalwarts, former sitcom parents (Alan Thicke), a gadfly civil rights lawyer (Gloria Allred), a man who went to the moon (Buzz Aldrin), and qualified eye candy — because a party without beautiful women is a dud, Mr. Lozzi said.
|
|
He's still the kind of defender where people talk about his effort so much that you worry about his ability, but when you shoot 41.7 percent from 3-point range (with a widespread belief that he has the range to continue that at the N.B.A. level) and prove that you're not a dud of an athlete, being a try-hard defender might be enough.

After all, if it hadn't been for that bottle-throwing tantrum between McGregor and Nate Diaz during the pre-UFC 202 press conference (complete with an uncountable number of middle fingers coming from both sides), that event may have been a dud, instead of the biggest pay-per-view event the sport has ever known, which is what it became once video footage of the melee went viral.
|
|
It can be a disorienting watch, but it's one of the most rewarding shows on TV. The dramedy's first season (which is streaming on Hulu) is a masterful slow burn that follows a down-and-out surfer dude named Shaun "Dud" Dudley as he recovers from a traumatic snake bite, grieves the death of his father, and deals with the foreclosure of his family's Long Beach pool shop.
|
|
Those features are potentially important to the Pentagon, which has faced criticism for the high dud rates of many of its submunitions and for its refusal to join an international treaty that more than 100 other nations have signed to ban the manufacture, stockpiling and use of weapons that cannot detect and destroy a single target, contain more than nine submunitions and do not have a self-destruct feature.
|
|
Last Flag Flying allows Carell to show his subtler side, as a Vietnam vet struggling with the death of his son serving as a soldier in the Iraq War; it's the type of performance we don't typically see from him anywhere, and even though Last Flag Flying was a bit of a dud even by Linklater's low-stakes standards, it would've been nice to see this impossibly sad and touching performance get some recognition.
|
|
I also want to pick up on something Todd said, which crystallized something I've thought for a while: The Americans has been firing on all cylinders and at the top of its game for just an insane amount of time now, and the only explanation I have for why there hasn't been a single dud is that in some ways the series sticks to a formula — including the cuts to many storylines in its episodes.
