Bold praise Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them!

It seems like an attempt to elevate The Last of Us above other games, suggesting that this dark, gritty tale of survival is “art” and most other games aren’t even close.

It will take time for VB to rebuild a network (even with Russian resources at play) and this is not a proxy war like in Africa or the Middle East which allowed him to thrive in the shadows; he has knowledge of how to move equipment and broker deals but Russia isn’t exactly being secretive about their purchases and…

Its still victim blaming - Russia is a big country and unlike China, relatively “free” on the surface (they just had the world there in 2016 for the Olympics without incident and this was right after the Crimean annexation).

Being there for work and being just a basketball player of little consequence in the grand…

Every nation willing to broker arms with Putin is ALREADY DOING IT. There’s nothing special Bout will do to turn the tide of the war, they just want him out of American prison. What is so hard to understand about this?

Viktor Bout is not a criminal mastermind. He is a man who had a skillset (he could fly a plane) and connections (through his military service) to exploit egomaniacal warlords and corrupt government officials into buying weapons from him and smuggling them from Eastern Europe into these war-torn countries specifically…

Real talk: getting Bout released has more value to Russia by sowing distrust in the US domestically than it does in actual value to Russia’s war effort (not to mention determining if he shared anything with US).

Also, the victim blaming of Griner instead of the very much needed realization that evil people are evil…

The comments are wild. People acting like a.) they had any idea who Viktor Bout was prior to the exchange and b.) as if he were some Magneto level supervillain.

For a bunch of reasons, pretty hard to believe Putin was holding back horrific shit he could have been doing to Ukraine because he was concerned about a single Russian in American custody. There is a lot of evidence-free (and frankly logic-free) speculation in this comment. 

This makes zero sense. As you already stated, Putin has been buying his arms internationally... that’s the exact thing people use arms brokers for, when they don’t have international contacts. This dictator of an entire nation has the contacts.. lmao

Very skeptical about the comments here suggesting that after 14 years in custody, 10 of them solitary confinement in one of the more secure prisons in the world, that Bout is going to step right back into his life without pause.

Dude, she had a vape pen, not child porn. She fucked up but became a pawn, she did something foolish, not destructive or harmful.

Reactions like this are absurd. Viktor Bout has been in prison since 2012. Bout’s absence did not stop Putin from invading Ukraine. For all the talk of the Kremlin not being as aggressive in Ukraine, generations has been wiped out. Entire cities have been leveled with an estimated 600 billion euros of damage done so…

No offense but you have no idea what you’re talking about. One arms dealer getting out of prison has zero affect on Ukraine. Putin, the dictator of an entire nation, has been throwing every bit of resource imaginable at Ukraine and failing. Absolutely nothing about that just changed. He has no special access to special…

Agreed, this is EXACTLY what I always pictured a Mario movie to look like. Maybe even moreso, cause my vision certainly didn’t have Rainbow Road in it and it should have!

Yeah, I mean, I can’t blame them too much as fans of games with competitive scenes are always convinced that it’s representative of the overall life of that game, but it’s almost never the case.

Oh, it left a lasting impression, at least in certain corners of the internet. On Tumblr there’s basically no superhero film that’s more revered. Megamind seems to have gotten better with age; as superhero films have taken over Hollywood it feels more and more timely even though it came out 12 years ago.

I finally saw Good Dinosaur a few years back.

I found it hateful - and I mean that in the sense that it angered me and was actively distasteful. Unpleasant, miserable, ugly movie - Cars 2 finally dethroned as the inarguable worst thing Pixar has ever done, and movie has Larry the Cable Guy making tired, borderline-racis…

I literally just finished re-watching Megamind for the first time probably since it came out - I remember liking it then as a more adult-oriented CGI flick (not necessarily just a kids flick with secret boner jokes laced throughout), and I think it still holds up in that regard. I get why it didn’t maybe leave a…

This remains the greatest sequence Dreamworks has yet produced. Not only that, but it beats the Katy Perry video too.
