A few people I know were so panicked they paid over $4 a gallon so as to not get left out. So stupid.

You’re better off than here in Plano. No gas almost everywhere. People were filling all kinds of dumb containers the other day when I drove by. Wouldn’t have been surprised if some people were filling up trash bags.

This. Politicians don’t want to do it for fear of the hew and cry from voters, but it’s absolutely critical for the future. Too many people are too quick to whine about a $.50 bump in prices that would cost most people about $7 a week.

You know, even though we disagree on this particular item, you’re a standup guy around these parts, and I appreciate ya.

You did an admirable job campaigning for it, but I’m going to interrupt my belly laugh to set some things straight.

Also the Black Moon.

I’m one of those people, where this would negate my suspension of disbelief. Build your own car? Sure. Even the tumbler can (reasonably at a stretch) be accepted as a copy of a military prototype that’s been modded. Build your own aircraft? The process of building an aircraft is just sooooo slow and painstaking,…

I’m definitely not going to survive the coming apocalypse. Couldn’t begin to tell you where the $1 cigarettes are.

E told her that if she was truly critical to SpaceX, it should not be able to operate in her absence

I spent 20 years in prepress. Not just specialized, but now commoditized, and as a result increasingly unfriendly to anyone outside of upper management. Don’t take this the wrong way, but get out any way you can.

Once attended a wedding (single mom bride + family money groom) where the DJ actually played Kanye’s Gold Digger. Turns out the groom’s sister specifically requested it. Thank goodness it’s not on this list, else it would have been awkward.

If you’ve read Annihilation, it’s a very peculiar story, and Alex Garland has said he’s remained very faithful to it. I would be concerned about the studio stepping in at the final cut and butchering, however even though this is Garland’s sophomore effort, he has a long history in the studio system.

Not saying it’s a Skittle...but it’s probably a skittle.

Full disclosure: 14 years ago I drove into wet concrete here in TX.

Incorrect. The fact is, no one truly knows just how much of the money ends up back at the studio, hence the term “Hollywood Accounting.”

...who were, fortunately for David, unable to make smart (or even sensible) decisions about pretty much anything.

To each their own, but the plot holes ruined my suspension.. The movie only works when you believe that the crew, who are presumably some very intelligent people, act in the most careless, nonsensical way possible.

The rule of Thumb on worldwide releases is that the studio receives about 1/3 of the gross. So not even covered at this point.

Casting call should be interesting. “Male, mid-30s, built like a scarecrow with a sexy birds-nest haircut.   Must be able to smoke bent cigarettes.”

Like so much of NYC’s infrastructure, the money that’s thrown at the MTA benefits everyone except those that have to use it. It’s a prime example a system that has grown beyond any ability to be managed (or even controlled) from within.
