Why does a pronoun need to have anything to do with “external gender expression”?

I’m fine with they/them, but there are good reasons why no-one wants to use xe/xir and other neo-pronouns. Aside from the weird spellings and incongruence with the wider language, once everyone starts having to remember separate different pronouns for individual people that aren’t recognizably connected to the…

why Will Smith’s career is destroyed but not Ezra

I would’ve given you two stars if you had said “Guido”.

LOG! That’s the term I was gropin’ for. Am a still photographer, that’s why.

The problem was the film was edited to take advantage of a process called auto-select, that was an “automated” means of creating dissolves and transitions from the negative when making master positives, printing matrices, etc. It was easier in that it meant you didn’t have to cut A-B negatives, but a single strand,…

Actually, now that I think back to my film scannin’ days, what the “before” shot looks like is a super-blown oversampled DR scan, designed to extract maximum shadow detail...before being leveled and graded.

Sure, but you would say that.

If they wanted to make something based on a Bungie series, they should have gone with the one that had an actually interesting storyline (*cough* Marathon *cough*).

They actually elminated the random discovery in the cold open in Lupo’s first season, which is when the show first started going down hill. I was hoping they’d reinstate it and correct that mistake with this season but nope. It’s like eliminating the pre-credit sequence in a Bond movie. The whole procedural was…

“I don’t get it. How does a family man from Queens, good box-stackin’ job, end up tied to a Chevy engine block in the Hudson?”

i’m mildly horrified at the fact that so many people were willing to scan a random qr code

They’re a web company. Their website is the entirety of what they offer. Not handling the load from an expensive ad isn’t a good thing. Not giving credit to the people who designed the ad is another not good thing.

Only a crypto bro would think otherwise. 

“[H]e was Italian and the producers thought that might lend the film some authenticity”.

I mean, he was the studio’s seventh or eighth choice to direct (and only chosen because he was Italian and the producers thought that might lend the film some authenticity... they also knew he’d work for cheap) and he turned them down because he hated the book, only agreeing to direct it after looking at his finances…

Nothing screams “personal” like adapting a successful IP into a series of popular films like say the 1969 NYT best-seller “The Godfather” by Mario Puzo

It baffles me how people regard Marvel’s 20-something film, genre-hopping, interconnected franchise as safe and formulaic when everyone else that tried to copy them failed abysmally.

I’d argue putting millions of dollars into a movie starring Captain America or Thor or Robert Downey Jr was very much a huge risk.

Sure, maybe this specific quote. But look at the philosophy behind it, expressed a few lines later in the interview:

It’s not entirely wrong but I’d much rather watch most Marvel movies than slog through The Godfather yet again. The Godfather is a great film that I’ve seen a number of times but Marvel movies are simply more entertaining.
