Ah, good point. I had forgotten what he actually put in them.

Mike has good reason to take the fake job seriously.  All the security sloppiness he uncovered leaves Madrigal just as vulnerable to law enforcement investigators as it does to thieves.  If he's going to be engaged in a criminal enterprise with people who are using that company to cover up a massive drug distribution…

I had the same reaction. Why didn’t he just go home and flush them? In fact never mind that, why didn’t he just swallow them while he was waiting around to talk to the other cartel boss? They were just the fake sugar pills he had made, in an innocuous Tic Tac container. He gave the real ones to the paramedics…

The cab is probably just sitting there because he hasn’t been dispatched to another pickup yet.

Vin Diesel is completely unnecessary to them.  He's already recorded his one line a thousand different ways, and if they somehow need a reading of it that nothing in the database fits for, they can have someone else record it with no noticeable impact.  His voice is pretty heavily processed to turn it into Groot voice…

Yep. In my area, every major theater is an AMC. There are a good number of arthouse theaters too, but for any film seeing any kind of wide release you are going to be in an AMC.

That’s a little on the nose. I prefer world prefer they call it Do Not Pass Go, which effectively invokes the same reference with a bit more subtlety.

That seems hard to make work with the canon. William the Bloody was an unwed timid Mama’s Boy who was the laughing stock of his social circle and secretly pined for a woman that hated him. It’s pretty clear, though not explicitly stated as far as I can recall, that he was a virgin until Drusilla sired him.

I’m not commending or sympathizing with any of MoviePass’s decisions, just pointing out that your statement — If the business model of your company is to offer a service that you hope no one actually uses, that’s a bad business model — is not universally true.

Closure, closure, closure closure closure....🎵

It’s not automatically a bad business model to offer an overly generous service and hope that the majority of your customers don’t fully utilize it. It works for gift cards, unlimited data plans, and all you can eat buffets.

What, you mean...<gag>...fluid transfer?

Maybe it will be Fray, or at least set that far in the future. As I recall, the backstory there was that after the spell, no new potentials were born for a thousand years. Balance and all that.

If you are tapped for jury duty, you don’t get to just decide that you aren’t going to serve on a particular trial. You’d need to give a valid reason, that the judge will accept for why you are personally connected to the case and can’t be impartial.

The guillotine is a terrible choice for a painless and instant death, as the condemned may live for a few minutes as a bodyless head. The “anvil guillotine” from iZombie would be an improvement.

How dare you call Lucy a “middling” film! It wasn’t middling by any reasonable definition of the word.

I did, until the sudden but inevitable betrayal.

Changing the timeline affects only the universe in which the time travel occurred. I’m basing that on the fact that Harry and Jesse, being on Earth 2 during the whole Flashpoint thing, came back to Earth 1 and could tell that the timeline there had been altered from the Earth 1 they had visited before.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold the fuck on a second. That assistant was ripped to shreds by various pterasaurs and a mosasaur. Neither of which, scientifically speaking, are dinosaurs.

Yeah, the fact that the show was made in the UK makes the language ambiguous, since they use “series” in the way American television uses “season.”
