I never saw the Robocop remake and don’t plan to, but a massive part of the original’s success was how gleefully profane and vulgar it was. Completely matched the setting and social circumstances. Not surprised a remake that tried to dilute all of that wouldn’t pan out.

Violence doesn’t seem to be much of a ratings issue (and hasn’t for a long time) so I expect there’s minimal nudity and exactly one use of “fuck.” Otherwise, open season.
You’re not missing anything. Movie was dull and predictable.
It’s been a thing since Seven / Se7en, so I expect you’re right.
Aye, the hot pants.
Prude.
A completely underrated film. One of the best comedies of the 2000s.
How is this sprawl? Seems like an urban density issue. Amount is obviously nuts.
I certainly can’t understand the point of having a car someplace like NYC. There’s nowhere you can drive and park more quickly than walking, cabbing, etc. and at a fraction the cost.
I’d have to do a Landon Donovan hair transplant to my chest, but...worth it.
Yeah we have a huge rolling bin (at least it’s green in color!) that gets dumped into a garbage truck. Supposedly it’s separated by the collector but I can’t imagine there’s much attention to detail on their end.
Doesn’t matter - they just do. So whoever’s taking the order needs to be able to process that. If I work at McDonald’s and someone orders a sundae without caramel that doesn’t even come with caramel, then I know to just ignore it. Meanwhile this AI apparently goes walkabout and arrives at “no cream.”
You don’t have to be a boomer to know this experience:
He gave up cash compensation years ago in exchange for participation in long-term stock appreciation, and won. Much as people might hate it, he’s not wrong.
I still think Toyota has it right on hybrids. Valid or not, concerns about the use case on pure EVs affect the buying decision. Giving people a real-life experience of how much they can do with just the battery either sets them up for the next car to be EV or confirms that they actually do need some gasoline range.
It’s honestly pretty amazing. How many other buying decisions are driven so heavily by public opinion of a company CEO? For the most part I have no idea who makes up company leadership over products I buy and even when I do could not care less.
Plus most of the best-designed vehicles out of those boring car companies are EVs. I have no problem with Tesla styling but it seems like every day something different catches my eye, and turns out to be EV (or hybrid).
$32k for anything you wouldn’t be embarrassed to drive is pretty damn good.
The current payday was based upon a formula agreed to years ago, so no matter how counterproductive to the company Musk is right now, he’s going to end up getting all or most of it.
Which is why almost any article about EV adoption is annoying as hell. You can read half a dozen over the course of a week and come away with widely disparate impressions.
