Subverting expectations is fine, but not when things have been setup a certain way.

I don’t know that I agree that the giant battle scene was pandering as much as it was payoff.

For me if this was coming from another director that wasn’t The Last Jedi’s Rian Johnson it would carry more weight. He did really well with Knives Out but Last Jedi is very.....uneven? No matter where you stand in terms of canon and stuff like that with Star Wars its still an all around odd movie. So for Johnson to…

I get what the production wanted but the chemistry between the “siblings” and the shots of them gazing at each other does make this seem more romantic or flirtatious than innocent. I remember this commercial and even at the time it was one where if you had it on mute and watched it you thought you knew what would…

Sometimes there is actors who are fired or removed for reasons and they go into the media telling their version or their side of the story and the truth is somewhere in the middle or actually completely different. In this case though not only do I completely believe Jones, he is also throwing the business side in…

Money, it would easier (read as cheaper) for both the merchant and card companies to keep completely outdated and old tech in stores than to upgrade it. While new (to the US) features came out like tap payment (NFC) Apple/Android Pay/Whatever Pay, and chip on cards, there was no incentive by any of the merchants or…

To Confused and Lonely, your wife needs therapy. If she will not do therapy then you need to leave. You are guys are to an extent co-dependent on each other. She looks at you as a source of her depression, its easier to be mad at someone than to deal with your shit. If she refuses to get therapy then its time to…

This could be fun or terrible, most likely terrible but my real question is why does Johnny Galecki always look like he is going through painful constipation in every photo?

Maybe its a faith meter? I don’t know, this is a bit wacky.

To which I say, I think people know what actors do, don’t you think?

Is it possible that Subway wanted 99% chicken and 1% filler and the third party that makes their chicken (which is weird and creepy sentence) went okay “1 filler in their chicken, so 50% chicken and 50% soybean.”

If the stories about working for Musk are true then all of the other people involved with setting this up probably just did as they were told and eventually went home and kept putting out resumes to anywhere else.

So Washington is a conservative asshole instead of just an asshole. Also what is with the image? I want some context around this thing. Was the lights too bright at wherever this was taken? Was this just the one good photo, the one bad photo? Does he want to be “older Farrell”? There is a lot happening in this image.

I kind of loved the apartment set. I don’t why it jumped out at me but it did. Iain as Dan was near perfect but Ray as Rorschach was hard to deal with. Rorschach is a hardboiled street-level “detective” that is mentally and emotionally damaged. So Stevenson’s eloquent and almost posh sounding Rorschach was…

Yeah I guess, it seems strange to me that they haven’t tried to change her age back to something under 18 before bringing charges but we’ll see what happens.

So you set up your doorbell on your network and in that tiny window of time the doorbell sent an encrypted password to your phone and if the phone was on your network at the same time then its as safe as your network normally is right? I feel like this article is a little too scant on the chances of this actually…

In the late 90's my family and I were going to take a flight from our home on the east coast to Florida for a vacation. We had booked the flight through AirTran and showed up 2 hours early for the flight. Between a half hour and hour before take off the old large airline board that had all the flights on it changed…

I actually really liked this episode, it did something other than Kate trying in vain again to reach Alice/Beth. Not that I dislike Alice but the Kate needs a roster of villains. They can’t rely on Alice forever. So a non-Alice baddy episode is a nice change of pace. Its interesting as usually villain of the week…

Was Star Wars not cinema? Was The Dark Knight not cinema?

That is completely fine, the whole societal thing that pushes people into having kids is a form of shaming. That should be something we get rid of so good on you for not wanting to go into something you don’t want.
