The big island is only 93 miles across at its widest. EVs make a ton of sense in a place like that, where you can drive from one end of the island to the other and back with basically any EV on a single charge.

They haven’t made the Eclipse since 2011. They do make an “Eclipse Cross” which looks like it’s basically just a sized-down Outlander.

Maverick had a million callbacks to the original. It follows a ton of the plot beats from Top Gun and had tons of nostalgia bait lines and scenes.

I’m glad that people are starting to realize that Schneider was not the sole perpetrator of all of this alleged abuse and misconduct (and that he, perhaps, didn’t engage in any of that at all), but was rather a crucial part of enabling and normalizing this sort of behavior at Nick. From what I have read, it seems like…

This is one of the wildest comparisons I’ve ever seen someone make on the internet which is a super high bar to clear. The mental gymnastics you had to go through here are astonishing. 

I posted about this in another comment, but having a limited number of annual inductees creates a higher level of prestige. When you’re inducted is as important as if you are inducted at all. And obviously it’s important that they can foster continual interest; if they just dumped in whatever, whenever, no one would…

No, this is just how halls of fame work generally. They have a set number of entrants every year and there’s usually a voting process to narrow them down. It is partially to foster debate about what’s most deserving, not necessarily whether they qualify, although the debates will generally bring up sub-debates on the…

I am so confused about these complaints about it moving too slow. Maybe I just watch different types of movies than most of the posters here, but it felt positively breezy to me. The pacing is so quick for the scope of the story, to the point that it actually should’ve been even longer since it felt like lots of…

This year was the THIRD time a Scorsese-directed film went 0-10 at the Oscars, after Gangs of New York and The Irishman. The only films that have done worse vis-a-vis nominations to wins in Oscar history are The Turning Point and The Color Purple, which both went 0-11 (American Hustle also went 0-10). If that’s not…

Completely disagree. I thought Oppenheimer felt its length and then some, while Killers seemed to totally breeze by. I’d actually argue Killers is too short; it should’ve gotten a 5-6 hour miniseries treatment on ATV+ with a trimmed down theatrical cut, a la Bergman’s Scenes From a Marriage or Fanny and Alexander.

It’s not the music industry’s fault you haven’t outgrown the music you listened to in high school and refuse to even seek out anything else

Solid list, but I honestly think it would be better if it were in reverse order. Small Axe, Concrete Jungle, Trenchtown Rock, and Duppy Conqueror are all way too low IMO, and the front end is too heavy with his big, mainstream hits, of which I’m admittedly not a huge fan. Definitely would’ve liked to have seen Kaya on…

Damn dude, we really do live in a society, huh? Got any other searing hot takes like this? Wanna go ahead and call football “the opiate of the masses” while you’re at it? And perhaps call it “sportsball” or “hand egg” while doing so?

edit: replied to the wrong post

Lol if you weren’t aware of Argylle then you literally don’t pay attention to movies at all. I had the same experience; I saw the trailer and TV spots constantly in the lead up to its release. It’s always funny when chronically online people who probably have strict adblocking on every single device and never watch…

I’m glad someone else dislikes Sea of Thieves. Whenever it’s talked about online, it feels like they’re talking about a completely different game than what I played. Granted, I played it back in like 2020 or 2021, and I know it’s been updated a lot since then, but it was honestly one of the shoddiest, shallowest, most…

You can just say it’s because he’s lighter skinned; you don’t have to dance around it like that.

Not too surprised this film is trash, but I’m really disappointed that the other Wailers are apparently relegated to scenery. Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Rita, Marcia Griffiths, and Judy Mowatt were/are all fantastic musicians in their own right with a lot of success outside the band, either solo or in other groups, and…

You mean kinda like this?
