He used Legos to make solid models (the whole glue thing).  The irony is, Lego was been fighting an internal war for years with the huge money they make on IP kits.  For a lot of people that want Lego to develop kids imaginations, the IP kits are the single worse thing that ever happened to Lego.  Lego should be all…

As good as this movie might be, let me tell you with 100% confidence, Mattel is taking every wrong lesson they can from the success of this movie (read the new yorker article).

I think cast Will Ferrell was actually a mistake (as great a comic actor as he is). It made the comparison too on the nose.

There are real questions about how many of those 4000 are still operational. It cost a huge amount to keep them working. At this point Russian has a smaller GDP than Italy and the full impact of the sanctions haven’t even gone through their economy yet. I’ve heard estimates that less than 10% are operational at this…

What is this absolute garbage? This show needs to be retroactively canceled and Apple should apologize to anyone who ever read the Foundation books.

As a massive fan of the books (I’ve read the entire series over a dozen times at this point in my life) I simply do not see any way that they can work anything even slightly like the second foundation from the books into the show at this point. Literally the entire driving force behind third book, and a major player…

Easy money.  I would have happily paid to watch the past films.  Especially now that I’m finding out that the new one has some callbacks to the earlier ones.

I totally agree. It was unclear what the trigger was that brought back Pike’s memories. And thanks everyone for the explanation! It also makes the line atht end about the old man deciding to stay make more sense (he decided to stay long enough that his memories would come back).

It really makes me wish that some theaters were showing some of the old ones again as a run up to the new movie.  They still hold up great and I’d love to take my kids to see them.

I feel like MI:1 is actually trying to keep the framework of the original TV show - with a movie budget adding action. MI:2 was a weird placeholder, and MI:3 on had basically nothing to do with the show - which was framed around an impersonation / heist plot for a TV budget.

There were plenty of ways that you could adapt Foundation. If you were set on keeping some characters throughout multiple seasons you could have easily kept the Lee Pace clone Emperor change (I thought that was clever and did nothing to hurt the concepts in the books) and interleaved the stories of Foundation and…

Legacy is actually not that bad on repeat viewings.  I think a lot of people had very different (higher) expectations.  When you see if again with an idea of what’s is in store, it’s a pretty well crafted film with a great unique look, decent dialogue and a second to none soundtrack.  Not a bad set of qualities for a…

Not a popular opinion, while Voyager was not a great show, Janeway is my favorite Captain of the whole franchise.  She just has that perfect blend of command and humanity that makes her seem slightly more real then any of the rest of them, while still being an incredibly impressive role model.

After this weekend I’m questioning whether WB is even going to continue making any DC movies except for the Matt Reeve’s Batman movies.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they just pivoted into a remake of LOTR and let the comic book connect movie thing rest for a decade.

If it were not for Musk making the offer right before the tech correction, my expectation is that the price would have dropped more than 50% and Microsoft would have bought it for $15-20B (which would have been a premium of the stock price at the time) and merged it with Linkedin.

There are also a million ways that couple can have conflict without breaking up. I just have no idea what happened to the writers room in Season 3.

I think the six/six thing had a huge impact in her realizing that winning would not the be end, but instead the continuation of this exhausting drama until they either lost or had to fight again in six months for the rest of their lives. Kendall was never going to be competent enough to close the book on how the…

I don’t think she took the worst possible path for her, because she can still leave Tom and be done. If she had gone with Kendall it would have never ended. But I do agree that she did not think about the repercussions of her actions completely, and I think that last scene in the car goes to prove it.  The show did a…

It’s a fascinating world. I’ve operated occasionally at the level right below it at some well known tech companies (where you are leading a team with multiple sub-leads, but you still have a large personal impact), but that level where you are effectively managing only managers on completely separate projects (or even…

I honestly expected the stress of the whole situation to cause her to miscarry, but I’m glad they didn’t go that way with the story.
