On the plus side, the rest of the family went on to enjoy a four-day overbearing-Dad-less vacation of a lifetime!

I think it depends on the movie. I saw Fury Road in all its colorful glory before the Black and Chrome edition released. But for the life of me, whenever I attempt to watch Black and Chrome, I just can’t do it. My mind keeps on waiting for those glorious colors and lighting effects. Now, Yojimbo. There’s a movie that…

I’m imagining what a world would think of if they had somehow gotten to this level of technology and overall media consumption without ever having had the black and white phase, like if all photos, movies, and shows had always been in color since their inception. No one would have nostalgia for it, no one would…

I’m in the US and my town has 4 recently-built roundabouts (with 2 more on the way) and it’s been... not great. Mostly because people are idiots. It’s like they come to this unfamiliar circular piece of road and everything they know about how to drive just vanishes from their heads. Most people come to a complete stop…

Oh I can assure you, drivers here can’t figure out roundabouts either, and there are a fair number in older towns like in DC.  For all the noise we make about cars, we’re shit drivers.

This is an article and website dedicated to pop culture ephemera. Labeling anything here "pointless" is pointless. Including this.

He isn’t saying that he created Bucky.

I completely agree with you here. Don’t get me wrong, higher resolution IS nice, but like you said, it’s also, for me, at the very bottom of the list (and I have 4K TVs and PC monitors). Now, if I had a 70" TV or bigger, maybe I’d say otherwise, but that’s not the case.

Focusing on 4K is a colossal waste. Focus on framerates, more complex simulations, higher player counts, ANYTHING but fucking 4K. Breath of the Wild looks just fine on my 4K set thanks to decent upscaling, and I would be perfectly contented if the next Switch remained a 1080p system.

In fact, they both attempt to climb on it and it flips over. Cameron even shot a scene where Jack explicitly tells another survivor that the door will only hold one person or it will go under. I honestly think he left it out because he figured that the door flipping would be enough to explain that there was only…

Every bit as fun as the asshats who insist on arguing the door would have supported them both

Jesus tap dancing Christ, how many times do we have to do this, it wasn’t about the area of the floating door, it’s about how much weight it could support. If Rose & Jack were on the door it would have partially submerged & Rose would have died of hypothermia before the lifeboat arrived.

The brilliant Amber Ruffin covers all the bases in this segment. You should really play this for these phonies and see what their response is:

In a lot of ways, this is a "There but for the grace of God go I" moment. During the protests this summer, I sent some correspondence to local officials, and I used some of the same delicate language (sorry, Grandma). Before I hit send, I happened to notice that the email had my school email address rather than my…

I can’t help but notice that one of the major differences between police unions and teacher’s unions, is that then the teacher’s make threats (perhaps “your kids will grow up stupid!”), voters either don’t believe them, or know it’s too late.

At the risk of being overly cynical, does this work because of the technique, or because it ends with the toddler getting exactly what he wanted in the first place?  I say from my own (painful and ongoing) experience that a lot of, if not most, toddler tantrums stem from wanting something and not being able to have it…

Look I had the same feeling of this being the medical version of “my black friend” but an army of white guys would have been met with craziness too.

Harriet A. Washington’s Medical Apartheid is a fascinating book that is also very difficult to read. Nothing to do with Washington’s writing, it’s the subject matter; chapter after chapter of horrors inflicted upon Black Americans in the name of science and medicine.

And who decided “aluminum” needed more syllables?
