This tracks. Musk also described the Cybertruck as “an armored personnel carrier from the future — what Bladerunner would have driven.”

The cast is the only reason I’d consider this. Otherwise, yeah, I couldn’t be bothered. Donald Glover and Maya Erskine is at least interesting if nothing else about it is.

This is good to know, because some speaker making vroom-vroom noises sounds outrageously stupid.

I’d love for things not to overstay their welcome.

The Muay Thai Teen, The Judo Juvenile, all the way back around until an elderly Rhonda Rousey teaches a Japanese kid to join the UFC in MMA-kun.

Finally, another chance to die on this deeply pedantic hill: but why the hell is the 2010 movie called The Karate Kid? It took place in China, and stars Jackie Chan. This child did not learn karate, he learned kung fu. It’s The Kung Fu Kid.

Yeah, I don’t know what kind of payday he expects out of a grieving family. Probably not a large one given how brutally unsympathetic a court would be to his case, assuming it even moves forward.

For all these reasons, sure. But also: their relationship wasn’t just nice or cute, it was presented as a mutual remedy for their respective neuroses.

Iron Fist was trash. Luke Cage was uneven, it’s true, but had some moments in both seasons. Daredevil was good-to-great all 3 of its seasons (S2 was the weakest but still had the Frank Castle arc), and Punisher itself was also very good. And Jessica Jones S1 was top tier. I’d call that a pretty high success rate.

It mostly reminds me of how goddamn good most of the Defenders shows were. Daredevil S1 vibes. This is probably the first Marvel thing I’ve been excited by for years at this point.

The Fall is basically an Avengers event film already. Otta Benga solo film when?

This headline got me excited until I realized it was unrelated to the Tarsem Singh film, The Fall.

Right? I refuse to be angry that Megan Fox dressed as a character from a 20-year-old Tarantino film that she has no connection to and that has no new material in the production pipeline at all.

Right, I feel similarly. I despise her opinion, but nobody deserves to have gone through that (and people angry at her opinion who DM shit like “I hope you get raped” have completely lost the plot. An inhuman thing to say to any person.)

There’s a contradiction here: if the original movies aren’t some untouchable sacred cow, why are the original characters so special? If remaking the ‘77 movie is fine to do, why be so invested in Han Solo and what-not? He’s just a gunslinger type without Harrison Ford; on the page, Obi Wan is just a stock wizard…

Well, I read her essay. A significant part of it details how JKR has had terrible and traumatizing experiences at the hand of cisgendered men, and that seeing trans women in bathrooms or locker rooms would trigger those memories. She also ruminates on her childhood, where she felt that her father would’ve preferred a…

Conservatives want so badly to feel oppressed. It’s wild. It’s not illegal for JKR to be a bigot, she’s just an asshole. She isn’t going to jail over it and she won’t lose her castle money, she’s just going to alienate her youth fanbase who mostly agree she’s an asshole.

Yes, you successfully picked up on the wordplay I was using there.

Well, this is quickly approaching a critique of libertarian thinking in general, but I’d guess the population in question - otherwise unhoused people who can’t get a typical apartment - are more vulnerable than average to exploitation.

Vehicles of unknown reliability or habitability, rented at unknown rates under unknown terms, with no specific protections or recourse for the renter if something happens to the vehicle or if the situation otherwise changes, is something I’d 100% call a grift.
