In fairness I don’t work in the States, so I don’t know much about the industry there, but I don’t know anyone here who’d do less than a half day, and even that would only be if they didn’t have a whole day’s work scheduled!

Oh, we charge by the half day minimum! 

Listen. I get that the recidivism rate of sex offenders is way higher than any other crime. 

“Hey man I know you’ve been in a bit of legal trouble but I got a part for you in a movie!”

This anecdote is much funnier if you try to picture the actual conversation in Mexican Spanish in your head. xD

For all the things the books missed (which I admit there is plenty), they really lucked out regarding the cast they got. I can’t imagine them getting actors that would come close to the performances in the movies. Iconic is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but it fits some of those parts. 

Eh, even Neil Gaiman thinks it is a silly comparison.

It’s still too soon, but sometime down the line, I’d love to see a 7 season, 8/10 episode retelling of the series. Particularly with one creator at the helm–an aspiring Del Toro, if you will–so it’s a cohesive vision. There’s so much that the movies missed, and, because they were made in tandem with the release of the…

There’s a few reasons why not, but expense is only part of it.

According to mainstream researchers, the vast majority of the matter in the Universe is invisible: it consists of dark-matter particles that do not interact with radiation and cannot be seen through any telescope.

Regular petri dishes are also multidimensional. ;)

Harder woods are denser and heavier. You couldn’t make a 34 inch batwith a full size barrel out of rosewood and have it be light enough. Also, as another poster said, Brazilian rosewood can’t be imported. African rosewood still can be.

I can picture a whole new reality series of players following swampers searching the bayou for that perfect stick of thousand year old wood.

I would want a bat made of rich mahogany!

Why not scale up the hardness to something crazy like Brazilian Rosewood? Expensive, but minor in the scheme of MLB.

Jim Thome actually got Chris Davis using a literally bigger bat, 35 inches or something like that instead of 33 or 34. Not Ruthian territory, but heavier than what most players now would use. The upshot is he fixed Chris Davis for, uh, a couple of years.

One drama ticket, please.

Thank you for adding an explainer about “Feud Week” to the fourth Gizmodo article this week that was filed to that tag.

Well. DAMN.

Robert Glasper is the absolute last person who should accuse anyone of plagiarism and not giving credit. I’ve still got the reference tracks, ASCAP assignments, depositions, and settlement correspondence pertaining to more than half of his “catalog.”  He don’t want that smoke.
