This explanation makes a lot more sense. Also, this strikes me as the kind of contractual provision that MoviePass has no desire or ability to enforce (in fact, if people think of it as an option, albeit an illicit one, they’ll be more likely to sign up), but was written in to throw a bone to theater owners and make…

Ugh. Doctor Sleep was terrible. It would have been mediocre without the connection to The Shining: it wasn’t scary, the story was barely more than surface-level plot in the vein of a generic CW show about people with supernatural powers, and the characterization (typically Stephen King’s strong suit) was paper thin.…

It’s so weird to me what some people will fixate on as a “problem” with this film, and what Rian Johnson will go out of his way to defend for that matter. The movie had so many fundamental problems on the storytelling level, and people can’t seem to stop focusing on the kinds of technical plot holes — real or imagined…

“Because I was the Taylor Swift of my time. Every one of those dead Greasers was an ex-boyfriend who had it coming....”

So, it takes place during the ‘90s?

Okay, so what was the point of this? It sounds as though you got the rough outline of a recipe, didn’t ask for clarification on a pretty significant part of it (i.e., whether to use or discard the skins) and thus screwed up that element, very deliberately ignored a couple other aspects of it (e.g., the freezing, the…

Hm... Okay, some of it is a little over the top, but bear in mind that (a) I fully acknowledge that I don’t “need” much of this for my day-to-day life; (b) I’m an insomniac with kids, so I have a lot of spare time late at night and can’t really be out at the bar doing something more social than tinkering with IoT…

Sure, in the same way that radio hits pretty much all of the pros of television.

Obligatory:

Yeah, I pre-ordered one last year, and while I get all the complaints (i.e., it’s too expensive for an alarm clock, having a camera next to your bed is creepy, etc.), I really am loving it so far.

Huh? No, just the opposite. Actually liking it is such a contrarian point of view that anyone saying it was “perfect” or even “good” is more or less obligated to get up in front of the class, walk to the chalkboard and show everyone why 1+1=3.

Does that confidence come with a side of reasons, or is that a separate menu item?

Okay, I never really followed the Black Panther comics, partially because I did most of my comics-buying in the mid-90s, when he didn’t have a solo series (to be fair, his costume has no pouches, shoulder pads or a mouth opening to show perpetually gritted teeth), so I’m not sure how many young, white-haired black…

I really don’t know how you arrived at the conclusion that a high school sophomore typed six sentences into an online form letter in support of a cause with broad popular support, relating a political issue to her own circumstances in a really understandable way, as part of a clever scheme to achieve some negligible…

How’s the weight compared to the original headset? I took the original Vive for a test drive, and while the weight didn’t ruin it for me, I could tell that it could get noticeable and even uncomfortable during extended use.

I can’t tell whether you’re taking aim at LePage, Osgood or the overarching issues concerning net neutrality, and I’m not sure whether you’re making a point about the availability of LibGen as it relates to net neutrality or just referencing it as ammo to trivialize Osgood’s concerns or standing to express them. It…

Simple. One male AI went and ruined it for all the other male AIs...

I could go looking for more pictures of LePage, but instead I’m just going to go ahead and assume from the lead photograph that he’s what happens when Evil Penn merges bodies with Evil Teller.

I would have gone with, “Look, another flamebaiting troll taking cliched potshots at a huge group of people — hitting all the familiar Millennial stereotypes, e.g., lazy, entitled, mooching snowflakes — in defense of something fairly indefensible, childishly trying to get a reaction.” But yours works too.

Ew. Is that really where the bar is?
