In Episode I, Peter Serafinowicz was the voice of Darth Maul. Ray Park’s voice is somewhat different from Maul’s. You can hear Park’s actual voice in the first X-Men where he played Toad.

Alcohol-based sanitizers are good at killing bacteria but not so good at destroying viruses, which are much tinier and don’t necessarily have the type of outer wall that’s vulnerable to alcohol.

Conservatives & libertarians get to have it both ways. When they claim that the economy gained x thousand new jobs, it doesn’t matter if most of them are minimum wage positions. A job is a job. But when people suggest raising the minimum wage, suddenly there’s two classes of jobs: “real” jobs and a separate, special…

It doesn’t take a whole lot of imagination to see how giving everybody a universal basic income could result in most people with shitty jobs just quitting them. The kinds of shitty jobs that, yes, put food on the shelves. Then what? Do you force people to keep working at gunpoint?

That has to be a Jack Handey sketch.

Brad Bird would crush Bond 25 but I think Bigelow’s interests are more in the non-fiction or “ripped from the headlines” type stories. My vote is for Michelle McLaren, a GoT/Breaking Bad veteran who almost landed Wonder Woman and is long overdue for a feature directing gig.

I’d be happy with just making Election Day a federal holiday.

I thought the main grievance most people had was that D2 was too casual and lacked endgame incentives for dedicated players to sink time into. Now it’s too grindy and not casual enough?

That’s a good category, but there might be too much ambiguity over whether Dutch last names are represented by just a V, or V & a third initial. I’d swap those two with “He was mayor of Los Angeles from 2005 to 2013” or “He played Sal Tessio in The Godfather”

“Guys listen to me, that little packet of nondescript white powder is just regular old diatomaceous earth from the home & garden store! In case of bugs!”

Countdown to Bari Weiss’ next op-ed warning us not to disparage or condemn this woman for her “difference of opinion”. Alienating these Real Americans could cause some serious electoral blowback in November!

“I care...”

It’s a technical reason due to the different cameras and ratios used in filming and Nolan not wanting to chop off the top and bottom of his IMAX scenes (which is a more square-ish ratio than 35mm) as that would defeat the purpose of even filming on IMAX in the first place. So anyone who watched Dark Knight in an IMAX…

Exactly. Baked-in letterboxes just tell me “someone’s new at this or didn’t plan ahead”. If you want a cinematic 21:9 ratio, either shoot in 21:9 or crop to that ratio in the video editor. When viewed on YouTube or Blu-Ray, a 21:9 video will still be letterboxed depending on the viewer’s setup, but the key difference…

$11 million? So only like $289 million left to go. Will this be a union or non-union production?

My guess is he can remove his arm stump from the fist and swap it out for a normal-sized cyber arm when he’s not in battle. So he probably puts the tuxedo on first, then attaches the prosthetic as the last step.

Kind of makes sense, but if he was in a regular infantry unit, wouldn’t his DNA or fingerprints match some kind of government record?

And grilling burgers with Jeremy Affeldt

I think it boils down to a few things: Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet, swill beers get you buzzed quicker for less money, and people develop a taste for the low-quality, mass market stuff (Velveeta, White Castle burgers, donut shop coffee, etc)
