Star Citizen's development is absolutely a horror story yet to conclusively unfold.

I don't see… any method… at all, sir.

If you go to the photographer's website it's listed as an inauguration photo… from 2009. Not kidding.

The most inept insight offered on these boards is immeasurably more valuable than colliding two definitions of shit together and calling it an opinion because you are Too Cool For Cognition

Have you ever, like, thought a thought in your life or is everything collapsed down to the level of picking which sports team to champion

I think virtually any other drama I've ever watched handles rape better than Game of Thrones, but just off the top of my head, compare The Americans season 1, Mad Men season 2, The Sopranos in season 3 or even Sons of Anarchy season 2 (by which I mean that season was a blip on an otherwise uninterrupted downward…

If it's at all unusual for Dolores to have hydraulic guts then why would Logan open her up to show William. Plus as noted they've discussed having rebuilt her physically.

That was CGI-deaged Anthony Hopkins in the hallway. I'm guessing Ford simply fired everyone after Arnold died, if there were other human staff then.

The NMS backlash is a pretty minor forerunner for what will go down with Star Citizen

Well, Richard Hell was dumped out of both Television and the Heartbreakers before they laid down an album, so that's a solid trivia connection right there.

That really was a time jump done right. I never really knew how emotionally invested I'd become in Our Heroes until I was desperately trying to read how everyone had landed. The toying with the viewer over Gordon and Donna was positively cruel.

You're right and I guess I knew all that, but it's surreal how the testing seems very accepted, especially given that unlike other drug war impositions it doesn't seem particularly focused on society's most disenfranchised. I suppose there's not a sizeable casual drug user lobby in Washington.

It's so weird to me that a broadly none-of-your-business-what-I-do country like the US has employers routinely conducting scientific enquiry into the drug content of your urine. Like I guess I can see the argument, but to me it's equivalent to making your staff sit polygraphs to check for criminal activity or…

Yep, in the book's prologue, which funnily enough is further mined for the film's climactic setpiece. It's always a little mindblowing to me how much the adaptation successfully packs in of the novel, while also drastically restructuring the plot.

Lynn's a professional Veronica Lake impersonator, so the idea that she has the air of someone imitating film noir is surely kind of the fucking point. Personally I thought Basinger did a pretty good job of having a vulnerable-but-resilient human being slowly emerge over the course of the film.

That's actually the one line in the scene that's Ellroy's, although in the book Dudley is murdering someone else entirely.

Not to paint the entire US press one shade, but I really don't believe that the coverage would have been so cautious if the suspect were foreign and the victim and/or court system in question were American. The US might not have the Daily Mail, but it does have Fox News.

Honestly I think Denisof's English accent is flawless. James Marsters had the more technically dubious accent, but he at least sounded consistent and unaffected so it didn't really matter.

Americans know him from Nightcrawler and The Night Of, where he isn't.

You're a sick fuck, Pang.
