Mad About Men is a 1954 British Technicolor comedy film directed by Ralph Thomas and starring Glynis Johns, Donald Sinden, Anne Crawford and Margaret Rutherford. It was written by Peter Blackmore, who also wrote the 1948 film Miranda which preceded Mad About Men. Johns appears in both films as the mermaid Miranda Trewella (she is also Caroline Trewella in the film). However, Rank Films insisted it was not a sequel.

It had both positive and negative reviews

  • AllMovie praised it as a "delightful sequel to the saucy British comedy-fantasy Miranda."

  • Kine Weekly wrote: "Jolly and exciting Technicolor extravaganza. ... Glynis Johns, clever and resourceful in the dual role, is equally at home on land and water. Margaret Rutherford excels as a wily old nanny, and the male cast, also hand picked, never lets up. The settings, too, are most effective, and the climax brilliantly engineered. Excellent light fare."

  • The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This sequel to Miranda follows much the same lines as its forerunner. The plot and invention are hardly sufficient to sustain a film of this length, but a mildly amusing comedy emerges from a fairly bright script and some competent playing in the smaller roles. Glynis Johns brings gusto and sly charm to the part of the mermaid vamp, while Margaret Rutherford provides another of her familiar character cameos. Technicolor is used, on the whole, with good taste."

  • Variety felt "this has not strong hopes of repeating the boxoffice impact of the original. Despite an impressive local cast, it limps along rather uneasily and can only expect spotty returns... There are broad comedy possibilities, and these ‘have been fully and conventionally exploited, but there is little sparkle to the dialog."

  • Radio Times called the film "outdated hokum, a cliché-ridden story ... this is certainly not the equal of the charming original."

  • FilmInk argued "It has a decent central idea... but is totally undermined by sloppy plotting that throws away opportunities wholesale."

Your question is too broad, lacks any substantial plan on your part, and lacks your skills at accomplishing it.

Assuming you know nothing about webdesign, learn webdesign. Learn CSS. learn Python/Perl/etc.

If your site looks like garbage, it won't go far (or anywhere). That may also mean learning how to use photoshop/gimp/whatever or hiring someone to make your dream an attractive dream.

Make it accessible to people with special needs. https://www.section508.gov/ I suspect you're not a government entity, but making your site accessible will help your dream in the long run.

Set a budget for your project that will allow you to live comfortably.

How many people are sustaining this project? How will you recruit volunteers (such as the admins on Lemmy or Reddit)?

Research hosting platforms and monthly costs. How will you make money or at least fund your social media site? People love website advertising so much that Ublock Origin and Adblock have a big user base. Ads might not sustain you. Tiktok also sells stuff besides being a social media platform.

What niche is your site trying to fill? What is the purpose or advantage of using your site? Some people like X(twitter). Some like Bluesky because it's not X. Some people like Facebook because there's already people they know there. Some people avoid Facebook, because the user base is aging. For people not liking the Youtube sphere, Rumble arose, as did Peertube, Dtube, and others. Some people like discord. Some people dissatisfied with discord chose stoat. When Digg was messing up, Reddit stepped in. When Reddit started annoying its users, there was VOAT, MeWe, then the Fediverse (including Mastodon and Lemmy) arose. Snapchat arose promising people sent message that disappear so that people who didn't understand screenshots could post intimate images. Are you competing with Threads, Flipboard, Instagram, Mix, Quora, 4Chan, Stack Exchange, Steemit, Raddle, Matrix, Slashdot, Digg, Imgur, Hive, IO9, 9Gag, PixelFed, FARK, Twitch, YakPlakal, or something else?

Who is your target audience? Who are they and why would they choose your site?

So what is your plan to market your site? How will you reach that audience?

What is your five-year plan?

Have you done a premortem on your plan?

No. I didn't see the others.

 

After an Epic Games exec admitted to Eurogamer that its launcher sucks earlier this year, the company reportedly revealed that it's working on a "ground-up rebuild" of its launcher that will be much faster than the existing version.

The new curriculum would have students as young as 6 interact with biblical stories titled “Noah’s Ark,” “David and Goliath” — meant to be read aloud from picture books — and “Daniel and the Lion’s Den” in their English classes. Daniel’s story is to be supplied by the Christian Broadcasting Network, a media company founded by televangelist Pat Robertson in the 1960s.

More examples:

Archie gotta creep up and get his goon on.


She appeals to her. But she likes boys better.


A girl kissing a boy and a "Boing"? What's going boing? His shirt?

 

But with all that spending going into the AI buildout, there’s one question many don’t appear to be asking: where is all of that electricity actually going to come from?

Sorry. I saw it several times posted on entertainment (and horror) pages.
