I could see where waking up at 5:43 when you’re already emerging from deep sleep would be preferable than your alarm going off at 6:15 when you’re in the middle of REM.

I just realized that for the first time in 30 years, we can make another movie with a similar line about Trump. It will, of course, be a thriller rather than a comedy, where the protagonist goes back in time to try and stop Trump’s birth before it happens.

One of my favorite examples of places looking like California is from The Office. Michael is supposedly driving through Scranton, but all the houses along the street are like Italian style mcmansions. Or the episode that is supposed to take place in the Mid-Atlantic winter so they put a blue filter on the cameras to…

Are there that many people out there buying 1-year old used cars? Wouldn’t a quick glance at the internet reveal the same info to even a casual observer? I would say you get into the good money on used cars at roughly the lease turn-in age. 3 years old with 30-40k can save you a good chunk of change over new, and most…

I don’t know the exact figures, but I’d wager it is way, way down on their list of priorities in terms of revenue generators, so chances are they know exactly how bad it is but haven’t cared enough to fix it until a more wholesale upgrade of the Apple TV was forthcoming.

I mean, anyone with an Apple TV definitely also has a TV, which need a remote, and probably at least a sound bar as well. My point being: BUY A DAMN UNIVERSAL REMOTE. Logitech has one that will do everything you could possibly need and more for like $70.

As a specific example, I think RDJ’s contract with Marvel is 5% of the front end of any film in which he stars. And his contract is enormous compared to most actors industrywide.

I’m loathe to defend Twitch, but he is only able to do what he’s doing and make the money he’s making because Twitch has provided him with the platform to do so. If you look at actors, even the highest paid of which make only a tiny fraction of the gross revenue of their movies, Twitch is paying its streamers a HUGE…

LIFE! The name of the show was Life.

Wow, I had no idea the problem was that bad. There was an iguana wandering around the pool area of our resort when my wife and I were in Miami last year (pre-COVID), and I just thought it was cool Florida quirk.

Of the three platforms mentioned in this article, I have heard of YouTube.

Yeah, I saw him first in that one season NBC drama where he was a cop who got framed and spent like ten years in jail, then got out and went on a quest for revenge. Can’t remember the name, but I had no idea he was a Brit until I saw him on Top Gear a few years later after Homeland blew up.

I’m not fully informed on the specific roles in film development, but wouldn’t that be more of a screenplay thing than a director thing? Not that he couldn’t have tweaked it, I suppose.

Pretty sure the word for that is cheating.

Anybody else tried this today and not had any EA games show up in the Xbox app?

Right? I felt a modicum of guilt because my first thought was, “What an asshole.”

I have never had it, but my wife is a huge tequila lover and we have avoided Casamigos because we’d heard it went steeply downhill in quality after its popularity exploded and they sold out.

I get what you mean. I like to know and follow the booze rules, but I rarely - if ever - correct anyone on them, unless someone is being dickish and wrong at the same time. Nor do I look down my nose at anyone’s beverage of choice. Namely because, other than sugary drinks, I enjoy some version of just about every…

Is the average word length and number of syllables in this post intentional or unintentional irony?

What the actual fuck.
