As you stated the new car is a “nicer” car. My question is though, WHY? Why does every car have to get nicer? Why cant companies just continue to offer a car for what it is? Why do they keep trying to have a car grow with the audience it is currently hot with? All that does is necessitate a NEW base model to come in…

“rugged, off-road-inspired design.”

The beginning of the movie pretty clearly implies she was thrown out very recently, maybe a few hours before Ido found her - but even if not, it’s not a big leap to assume he would know better than most when and where to go looking for stuff, and he’d also know better than most what’s useful and what’s garbage.

Alita simply could not have been thrown into the junk-heap 300 years ago. She’d be about half a kilometer deep in the pile if that had happened.

People once said the same thing about Sean Connery as James Bond. How’d that work out in the 50 years since he last played the character?

When did uncle Vic cut a video?  Need to shòw him this next Thanksgiving. 

Oblig:

They spent $50,000 on a fully edible cake that they couldn’t serve to guests because it was put together in an elaborate showy manner? Such typical Trump -- wasteful excess.

This is a great take and I enjoyed it. Thank you.

This reminds me of my absolute favorite story from the life of Jesus: Jesus and the Centurion. For those not familiar, Jesus, after giving his Sermon on the Mount, was approached by a Centurion or a delegation on his behalf (the account varies depending on which gospel you read), who pleaded with Jesus to heal a…

Bubblegum Crisis, an anime dating from 1987 to 1991 about women in powered armor fighting robots of an evil corporation. I’ve never watched it myself so I really don’t all the details. I just know it’s a frequently cited example of gals in power armor.

this is usually where I say “Oh for fuck’s sake....” about this stuff.
