This is really solid.

It’s not an unusual reaction, by any means. But maybe, if you’re doing a press tour for a movie you’re in, either be very clear that you can’t be present for the playback, or get used to it. Because every show does this, it’s kind of part of the deal.

Numenor is on the Amazon map, so probably?

I think “first theatrical Bond movie” sort of cements it into young (mostly male) minds. Mine was Goldeneye and it’s my favorite by a wide margin.

I suspect many short-stay hotels are less than meticulous in their housekeeping.

John Wayne should be canceled because he generally sucks as an artist and a person. He was in the Searchers, yeah, but that movie is a masterpiece in spite of him. He is terrible.

And they want $5/month to read it! I like Drew just fine, but I’m not subscribing to that nonsense just for him. Sorry, Magary.

Did it? Wikipedia is showing $658m box office on a $300m budget. Did advertising, etc. cost like $400m?

There’s a Peloton store in the mall by my house. It’s one of those little things in the middle of the aisle, but for some reason it’s completely surrounded by a chain-link fence. I guess just to make the huge financial and subscription commitment as literal as possible.

I used to buy the previous edition on Amazon for like $3, compare the relevant pages/assignments from the current edition, then just return that one to the bookstore. I saved thousands!

Adding muscle to your frame (i.e., lifting heavy weights) is the easiest way to lose fat.

The Hobbit looked weird as shit. Like everyone else, I haven’t seen a 120fps movie, but is that the point where anything higher is indistinguishable to a human eye?

Yes, and it’s a current apocalyptic city between Texas and Arkansas. I used to drive through it a lot.

I didn’t know that was a real thing. I only know it from this:

I’m pretty sure the rampant corruption did him in.

You are right. Getting my toddler into my wife’s RAV4 is a piece of cake. My Focus ST, not so much. Lots of positioning, twisting, etc.

We all make some moral compromises to get by. We should at least make some show of accountability to giant companies and their shareholders. Uber doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt.
