We’ve gone from teaching kids to hide under their desks in case Soviet missiles were coming to teaching them to barricade the door and hide in the closet in case a maniac with a trenchcoat full of guns is coming. One was very abstract(and thankfully, never came to pass), while the other is terrifyingly concrete.

You didn’t miss much in bailing on “Meet the Feebles” after 15 minutes. It was pretty disturbing. Peter Jackson should consider himself lucky that it didn’t torpedo his career.

I say we waterboard him a few times, maybe 87, in public.

Or, we publicly waterboard him 87 times. That way, he learns that drowning is far less humane than he seems to think it is, and we get a much more concrete sense of what that actually does to suspects/POWs when you use it as an interrogation method.

It’s a balancing act. You need someone who understands healthcare - both the administration/economics of it and preferably enough medical knowledge to avoid being seen as just another ham-fisted insurance or hospital exec. You need someone with enough connections in the industry to be taken seriously, but who isn’t so…

I hate to break it to them, but while 90% of Netflix subscribers may watch their originals, I would be willing to bet they’re mostly watching the same handful of shows. Most of Netflix’ original content outside a handful of marque IP seems to be somewhere between woefully uneven and just outright garbage.

I’m sure HD has its unique unpleasantness, but most retail work is inherently soul-crushing and awful. It really should be just be a temporary stop on the way to somewhere else in life unless things have gone very, very wrong for you.

If you need a full-sized truck or SUV for work or to tow a boat/camper/etc... that’s one thing. It’s unpleasant, but you don’t have much of a choice. But people who just ue one as a commuter vehicle? C’mon now...suck it up and accept some responsibility. You knew full well gas wasn’t going to stay $2 a gallon forever.

NE FL here. Outside the traffic issues and the demotivation that come with a solid week of rain, it’s for the best. We’re actually kinda short on rain so far this year, and things were probably going to start catching fire soon if this hadn’t come along.

I would dare say this will be more Bob-Hoskins-as-Mario than Wanted.

I was so hoping for a Monster Hunter animated movie, preferably with a Palico as the main character and an artistic vibe consistent with the game. Maybe a Studio Ghibli kind of thing.

So.... we’ve come to a point in history where an early 90's gangsta rap star, a talent agent with entrepreneurial aspirations and the senior tour of professional basketball are now a bulwark of American democracy against foreign agents trying to buy access to the president’s exceptionally scummy advisors.

It’ll probably be an inoffensive way to waste a couple hours when it hits Netflix, but nothing about this says, “spend $75 to take the kids to the megaplex to see it.”

Nathalie Emmanuel would make a good Elvi Okoye.

I’ve bought 3 mattresses in my life. Two from brick and mortar stores that were expensive, cumbersome processes and one online that was pretty much the opposite - fast, easy and cheap. The hardest part was the uncertainty about what it would feel like, but for 1/3 the price of a decent mattress from a local store and…

SJWs aren’t ruining Dragon Age, but an absurd volume of fetch quests and a shortage of compelling villains are.

Personally, I’m offended at the lack of representation of elves, dwarves and trolls in the writing room. This show has the potential to be disturbingly human-centric.

Please, Amazon, for the love of God - get the production rights to The Expanse!!! You’ve already got the first two seasons on streaming, and you seriously need some decent original content beyond The Tick, Bosch and Sneaky Pete.

We have the wrong Krisjen in the role.

It’s pretty amazing how natural she and Jared Harris (Anderson Dawes) make that Belter accent sound. It’s like they’ve been speaking it all their lives. And the freaky part is how consistent they sound with one another.
