The death of Maria Hill is even more pointless when you look at the role Vaara played.

That’s the funny thing here. If Equity was on strike, and British commentators suggested SAG-AFTRA should do a sympathy strike, or even light sympathy action, the very same commentators shitting on Equity here would be saying the suggestion that a US union should do anything in sympathy with a non-US union was…

I get solidarity,  but has SAG America ever gone on strike in solidarity to other countries unions? 

Which, you’d hope, would be an incentive to be like, “Hey, let’s figure this out, make everyone happy, and get back to business.” Only, this is the opposite. It’s studios saying “We’d rather do nothing and lose more money than give actors and writers a fair deal.”

Yes, what GRRM is showing here is two things:

The UK Labour Party has quite famously been out of power for many many years. Maybe everyone should read a newspaper?

So have they always used this “activation” term? I feel like it’s the first time I’ve heard of it (though have never been to SDCC, but read about it every year), and am I wrong that they are just events, or pop-ups, or god forbid, attractions?

Calling Funko a “soulless” “loser” where the “excitement was just gone,” despite having “the most sought-after exclusives” and “huge crowds” which “made browsing the booths near impossible” makes it sound less like Funko had a problem, and more like you, the author, had a problem with Funko.

Still better than an NFT.

Yikes, unfollowing now. I was a big fan of his work building a civilization-destroying bomb, I had no idea he had quoted the Mahabharata during sex.

The scene is post coital, and she basically gets up, walks across the room and starts commenting on his possessions before randomly grabbing a book off his shelf and demanding he translate it for her. It’s pretty awkward out of context, although the movie continues to characterize Tatlock as an extremely standoffish…

These are right-wing culture warrior groups who have a permanent chip on their shoulder over the perceived favoritism shown to Muslims. It’s really not worth taking them seriously. Western libs don’t know enough about Indian politics to understand these groups’ political associations and agendas.

Ive tried to edit a few pirate pages since I study that stuff.  The editors of pages are insane Banana Republic dictators I swear.  An edit got deleted because the head editor said I saw a documentary once and it said your wrong.  

Does it count as cropped if they specifically shot it with both aspect ratios in mind?

NRO employs Armond White who is the biggest troll in the entire industry of film criticism.

“definetely won’t be a bomb”

So you want good movies, like Oppenheimer (and Barbie for that matter) to fail... to teach the studios not to make good movies?

Honestly I only just heard about the Doom/Animal Crossing thing today in reference to Barbenheimer and I played a ton of New Horizons when it came out. Gaming is still considerably more niche than movies though, so Barbenheimer has already reached a larger audience, but as you say it’s a much shorter experience.
