Is it better than the Jar of Tomatoes? The Tomatoes have been successfully tested in a theater of war. Can this say the same?

I don’t get it either—he has spent the last 10-20 years coasting on his reputation and not much else; before that he was a pretty attractive guy who had solid “acteur” bona fides before he decided to sell out (and I’m not judging him for that based on the shitloads of money he has made); but the EXTREME response I

And the thing is, what about Depp exactly inspires this level of idolatry? Even if you think that he is, or at least was, the best actor of a generation, why does that inspire people to slavishly devote themselves to clearing his good name? I actually liked the Pirates trilogy, and Depp in them, and honestly didn’t

My instinctive reaction to Here’s everything you need to know about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial” was “nothing.” I don’t need to know a single thing about this shitshow.

I kind of gave up on figuring out what’s going on.

Speak for yourself. I’m happy ignoring both of them. You should try it.

If you look up the term “Pyrrhic Victory” in the dictionary, you’ll see Depp and Heard’s mugs.

It’s frustrating how this was clearly a toxic, mutually abusive relationship, but everyone is deciding to make only *one* party out to be history’s greatest monster.

That was SwSh for me. Sorry these are bouncing off you.

Yeah, it’s like Alex Cox said in his book about The Prisoner, that a lot of today’s streaming shows would’ve been movies 20-30 years ago. Only they now run dozens of hours and a character who might have had five lines now has their own three-episode story arc.

Fox is dead. It doesn’t exist anymore.

Sure, you can block your home broadband, but they might be using cellular data or the neighbor’s WiFi. Or he might just be an idiot. Can’t tell without more info.

Believe me, when I was kid - I could have gotten around it if my parents tried to limit me. If he kept losing the battle, and i can see this as a means of winning the war so to speak.

I fully agree with this point, but it should be noted that it’s not just the GOP pushing this kind of legislation. Maybe the dems have a different rationale, maybe not (probably varies from one to the next).

Don’t get me wrong, I loves me some Ryan Reynolds and I think ever since they released him to just be himself in every movie the world has been a better place, but I also think we’ve saturated the market with Peak Ryan.

I’ve been thinking that “we’ll use the space shuttle” is another sign that Hollywood is still stuck on a version of America that no longer exists.

Halo was first, but you can probably make most military space opera sound the same if you describe it in a few paragraphs, especially if they’re both frameworks for firearms-based conflict. Mass Effect is made by people who wanted to keep making the Star Wars games they made before but with no profit split to

...there’s not many similarities? I mean, beyond being Military Sci-Fi stuff, at least. But the factions are completely different, the goals are different, the stressors are different, the morality of the major factions are different, I’m honestly struggling to figure out what you’re finding so similar about them

in a single instant, in order to spread the event of the Flood

My only gripe was that it could have probably used another episode. I can’t imagine them stretching a lot of the war stuff out over another 2-3 hours, 6 episodes seemed economical. What I did want was some sort of epilogue where we actually get to see the characters decompress and interact now that the war was over,
