That’s how they steer. Lifting the plates with Maker Hooks exposes sensitive flesh, so the worm rolls and moves to get the exposed parts away from the sand.

It wasn’t to even supposed to have blanks in it. For a movie’s purpose, blanks are “live” rounds. The gun was supposed to have inert dummy bullets in it so the revolver looked loaded in closeups. Hence all the “cold” gun language.

Couple that with the fact that a lot of lifted and ridiculously modded truck drivers(I’m tempted to go with most, but I’ve restrained myself from being too hyperbolic), are total assholes.  Just watch their behavior on and off the road and you’ll have plenty of empirical evidence to back it up.  

Re: pickup drivers. Saying someone has small dick energy doesn’t actually mean you believe them to have a smaller anatomy. It’s a euphemism for insecurity. Maybe its outdated and body shaming, yes, but the underlying message is about insecurity.
We have evidence to suggest folks who buy pickup trucks and large SUVs wer…

I just talked to an executive at a very smart tech company that decided not to lay off their entire talent staff during the tech recession, but instead to re-train them to do other critical tasks.  This way, they get people who know the company doing important stuff, and the talent staff will be in place to snatch the…

Man, Dave Bautista has absolutely surprised me with how well he can give a nuanced, thoughtful performance. He’s the first wrestler-turned-film actor that it wouldn’t gobsmack me to see win an Oscar.

Saw Dune 2 last night, and i had read before going in that he said he plays Rabban as a coward, and so i was definitely paying more attention to him because that’s a brilliant insight into the character — and he nails it. Rabban is truly a pathetic coward.

I’d rather get salmonella than use a glass cutting board.

Really cool.

I will miss Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin.

Nope.

Yeah it’s literally about a colonized planet.

“when the story is clearly borrowing from myths and folklore from a particular part of the world, perhaps the casting could have been more diverse.”

do you have a macro for these written or is this all bespoke posting

Oh, yes, The City of Lost Children pre-Amelie was already big in certain circles, especially because of the look of the film, the Gaultier costumes, the score, the Miette-One pairing, etc. I think it got even more attention after Amelie was released, but my teenage kids aren’t interested in seeing these movies partly b…

Del Taco is definitely superior, especially in the breakfast burrito department. It was a bit of a drive, but used to go the only local one for the Macho breakfast burrito (grim but fun fact: I was eating one as hangover food while 9/11 was unfolding). Then it closed down suddenly, along with the gas station it…

Del Taco is like Taco Bell, but with actual flavor and real shredded cheese.  Hopefully, they’ll build one nearer to me, as it’s quite a ways and I have to pass multiple Taco Bells every time I go there.

Now we need a spinoff following the exploits of the hypercompetent Coast Guard captain finding bodies left and right off the Alaskan shore in horrible conditions.

The source article is definitely worth reading: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/08/movies/jonathan-majors-girlfriends-abuse.html

Carl Dune FTW.
