That’s fine, but for now please use Zoom or stay at least stay six feet away.

She certainly wouldn’t be expected to win, but that’s what could make it interesting. Either she’d find a way to outsmart her opponent or she’d lose, either of which could set the film’s narrative in motion.

This might be wishful thinking, but since Marvel seemingly knew about this for years, they might have filmed a contingency scene or two so that he gets a proper send-off, something like him saying goodbye to Shuri on the Ancestral Plane.

Comedy requires some kind of truth behind it. Even puns require two words to actually sound similar (or in anti-jokes, the joke is that they truthfully don’t.) Within the alternate reality of Trumpworld, there’s plenty of “jokes” based on racism, misogyny, and the beliefs that trolling the libs and venerating the

My understanding is that Netflix makes content much earlier than it has to, which is why their schedule hasn’t been interrupted by the pandemic. But they’ll run out eventually, at least of American productions. Even if the pandemic’s defeated by Spring 2021, they’ll still have to actually film stuff, so I’d bet

In fairness, watching any video of Ben Shapiro makes me want to punch something...

Definitely, but that also means you’re not going to know what happens in the scene you skipped, so having a less blunt middle ground is helpful. 

I’m not going to pretend to be an expert, but I imagine there’s a decent slice of people able to hear it properly if it’s just a bit slower without needing to put on subtitles. Not that subtitles are awful, and I often use them just because the film is in a different language or inconsistent sound mixing drowns out

I’m happy about this. Alongside anyone with hearing difficulties, being able to slow down videos will be great for anyone learning a new language and for any film student who wants to study a scene. And being able to speed videos up will be great for anyone who doesn’t have a lot of recreational time. I know many

I hope it’s not the books’ ending, but Bran obviously has some purpose, gets the first post-prologue chapter in the first book, and begins his journey north in the last chapter of the second. I imagine that Bran will get to do something to justify it in his version, but even Martin can make it make sense plot-wise,

Benioff and Weiss said straight-up that Martin told them his intention is to make Bran king and they were copying him. I do think the ending is going to be largely the same, but hopefully the execution will be up to the standards of Martin’s past works. It’s one thing to say, “Dany goes crazy and burns King’s Landing”

Same thing, really.

I watched the first season. It’s good if you like dry British period pieces and are agnostic or in favor of the monarchy. It does have baseline intelligence and an interest in the broader history, though it’s a conservative reading of that history. There are some fantastic episodes focused on an aging Churchill, (Act

Imagine what it must feel like for the author right now...

I think at this point it’s clear Facebook needs to take a more active role in regulating its platform, but the absolutist free speech position was pretty much standard a few years ago, and they’re not evil for sticking with their principles. They shouldn’t have this much power, but while they have it, I’d rather they

I like the idea, but I didn’t find anything in the trailer particularly funny. I was hoping for something more like a sincere workplace sitcom than ‘they’re like the bridge crew, but zany and incompetent!”

Well, we’re unfortunately about to discover if some people still do.

I went to restaurant at an airport terminal last year where you could only order by app, even as you were sitting at the place with waiters bringing food. The concept wasn’t well explained, so I sat for a while trying to hail someone down before figuring it out. Then I couldn’t quite get the app to work, and had to

Yeah, the zombie episode was the one where she slept with Chang. The bar episode was unrelated, but came just before she learned about the pregnancy, so that’s probably why they blended together. Shirley’s ex-husband turned out to be the father, and by then they’d remarried.
