I think Dementus wants a better way but is too stupid and frozen in his grief to see it. He has no purpose, just a void. When I saw him with that tree growing, I saw tears, but there’s a really important bit earlier in the film that gives it more context. The History Man describes the chemical difference between…

The Hilton in Las Vegas ran Star Trek: The Experience for 10 years. It was also just a corner of the hotel and a show.

Funny thing about spending a year making a video about the Star Wars Hotel (I’m calling it that from now on) while reading a year’s worth of excuses for it. You’ve already got a script full of all of the excuses people are going to respond to you with because you’re already responding to all of the excuses.

Turns out it didn’t sell that well past the first few months. Disney knew it was going under, so for months they undersold seats and even for a period of time wouldn’t let people buy tickets to attend. This created the illusion that people were still filling up reservations when in reality Disney was selling 1/4-1/2…

Jenny Nicholson really nails this with her official concept art images, aka, “Chapter XXI, What They Stole From You.”

I’ve been to Chicago once. I rode the train downtown, stepped off into a storm of gale winds, and was surrounded by the ever-present potpourri stank of spiced sausage absolutely everywhere I went.

To be fair, every Chris Pratt animated role removes the identity of the character or just invents a brand new one so Chris Pratt can be Chris Pratt.

Glenn Powell just ain’t it. He’s Scott Eastwood with a personality. That random five o’clock shadow white guy that keeps showing up in everything before people wonder why he keeps showing up in anything and realize he’s some producer’s second cousin’s nephew.

And casually acknowledges that every movie he’s made that isn’t in the MCU has bombed horribly over and over.

...

Is she a natural treasure? Perhaps.

Dang, it’s August 23rd already? Time flies...

I think what’s more interesting is this is a movie about befriending a subservient military AI with nascient self-awareness to brutally crush a peasant AI revolution.

Once the alternate universe cloud of bats appeared the show really didn’t know why it existed anymore.

Sad. He was quickly becoming the best part of that show. Oh well.

The first season was awful. Then it got better... at the end of the third season.

Movies are “stuff happening for a reason.”

Heavy armor seems to hold up pretty well in a zone defense and for overwatch and against bots. The real problem is when teams don’t communicate, so a guy in light armor dashes off into the middle of nowhere and the heavy armor folks are left with their thumbs in their cracks because they can’t make a mad dash from one…

This is great news for me, who has continually eaten shit when my friend has dropped the latter stratagem a little too close for comfort.

Antivenom is derived from venom, not lipton iced tea, LOL. Antitoxins were originally developed by poisoning an animal and then deriving its immune response to the toxin. So in a way, a game that counters a thing it resembles by exposing itself to the thing it counters is the anti-thing most accurately.
