Don’t forget, fuck Trent Baaaaaaaaaalke too.

These Texans remind me of the Vikings the year before Favre arrived, when Tarvaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte were their QBs. Extremely solid defense, franchise that never won shit, solid RB, still recovering from a star WR exit and, if they get very lucky, might stumble into a wild card loss.

Nicely done then haha

There was another commenter around here who said the problems with the FF on film are a) there’s no real modern corollary to the Space Race to make people care (outside of the nerd community nobody really cares about SpaceX, sadly) and b) they’re quite arguably overshadowed by Doom. In the comics they’re already well…

Yeahhhh Admittedly the “so you’re saying there’s a chance” mentality is hard to break down.

That’s entirely true, but the reception this movie was getting, at least in places like here, at least came across as pretty universally negative loooooong before there were reports of actual trouble, back when this movie was “Josh Trank makes Fantastic Four with some very talented actors”, which looks fine to me.…

I always heard about how shitty it was on dating sites/social media/comments for women but didn’t entirely get it until a couple of female friends let me look at their messages. I mean holy shit, how do guys think any of that is a good idea? Beyond it being a really shitty thing to do in general, does it ever even…

I’m not necessarily trying to jump into the entire thread here, but just one point, out of curiosity...have you read much about understanding non-verbal cues when it comes to people we aren’t familiar with? Obviously we all learn what people who we interact with do on a regular basis but what about some completely new…

I will say that the main differences between Gretzky’s comment and these instances are that in hockey, you know exactly why the shot didn’t go in, and you can (and should) be taking multiple shots at the same goal. The goalie blocked it, or a defender swatted it away, or your aim was off target, etc.

Well geek Internet, are ya happy now?

If anything, that attitude was one reason why I can’t think of many movies I hoped would be great more than this one. Batman v. Superman is quickly getting up there as well, though. Maybe I’m just overly sensitive or something, but months upon months of constant bitching and negativity, which this movie got at ever…

I maintained throughout this movie’s production, and still do now, that if Josh Trank had gotten to make the movie he wanted to make without studio interference, this would have been good. Based on the stories out there, it’s very clear Fox and Trank didn’t exactly get along, and judging from the review at least part…

Very solid points. I mean hell, the Fantastic Four’s main schtick is being the “first family” of comics, what better way to emphasize “family” than to make them part of a larger film family? Make them work with others and let Doom be Doom independent of the Four. He could still be a Fox Superhero Universe Big Bad...

I think Trank, unimpeded by the studio, could’ve made a very good movie, but it wouldn’t have been the movie Fox wanted and would have been less of a tentpole, franchise-starter than just a solid superhero movie. But the problem with that is studios are practically incapable of making a movie that isn’t built for…

I’ve seen too many people say something recently along the lines of “Sorry that apparently facts are racist now” and you can feel their smugness through the computer, all the while failing to understand that simply spitting out numbers without any acknowledgement of context tells a woefully small part of the story.

First of all, I can always appreciate good, punny wordplay, so solid opening.

I’ll have to check out the album, and I know it’s classic internet to only seize upon one part of a long post but...it seems decently delusional for Ronnie to act like Young was painting with a wide berth and the racist part of the South was a “minority” in the late 60s when he was writing the song. Both of my (black)…

Besides what’s already been said about the “bigger fish” argument being flawed, who better to bring attention to some of those other issues in representation than the talented black writers who could bring personal connections and stories but now with a more specific lens assisted by ESPN’s access?

I definitely still think she should be on the team - she still heads the ball better than 99% of the world does anything - but should really only be used as a late super-sub if the team is down and in need of a goal. I’ll still take 20-30 minutes of Wambach at the end of the game over whoever would be on the bench at…

That’s through no fault of hers, though: based on her records - highest international scorer ever - and successes - two Olympic golds, two World Cup Finals, 2012 FIFA World Player of the Year - if fans/the media gave a shit about women’s sports on a more regular basis she was far more deserving of being “the face of…
