All mapping apps base their time on historical averages for certain hours of the day merged with current traffic conditions.

Your average medieval Christian peasant would most likely say “what is a Jew?” given their worldliness of how far they would’ve travelled from home in their lifetimes would probably be something like a 15 mile radius around whatever their home village is.

I kind of give her a pass on the name thing, considering that 95% of the names in the books are really wonky. I mean, who would’ve guessed that a character named Sirius Black could turn into a black dog? And that Remus Lupin would be a werewolf?

I’m trying to remember the bullet reconstruction scene, which seemed like a farcical CSI “ENHANCE” moment ( but I guess plausible enough in a movie about a guy who dresses up as a bat). But that seems like the best example of “movie dectective” work.

I don’t know about that. Batman 89 has one of the very few movie snippets of Bruce Wayne doing actual detective work: “Alfred, let’s go shopping” (granted, it’s off screen). And I think it’s got little bits here and there of how messed up Bruce is, iirc, like him sleeping upside down and the scene in Vicki Vales…

Sorry, Rogue One is the best....TLJ is second best of the new movies...even with the few warts it has ( horse-y chase, Jesus Leia, and not-gonna-tell-you-my plan Luke because reasons)

It’s funny because I didn’t even think about relating the song title to a Cap catchphrase that he says in “in real life”. I just sort of looked at it from a Hamilton kind of thing like “not gonna miss my shot”, which I’m assuming Hamilton never really said as a catchphrase either, but it becomes a good theme that gets…

This made me laugh way more that it really should have.

I’m glad they showed the whole song in all of its ridiculousness. Then again I’m not a fanatic enough to demand a teaser for the next Marvel thing, given that I know there will be movie trailers and what not coming soon anyway.

It can’t be tracked easily by the government who would otherwise want to collect taxes on actual honest-to-goodness money? That’s really the only thing that I can think of.

Not really. I can see a world where no producers thought Alien could be a franchise. And then Cameron comes along, kind of shows them a blueprint, and now every producer wants to claim a piece of franchise as their own.

Sort of. Its a wonderful life is based on a Christmas story (essentially based on a Christmas card that is based on Christmas Carol)... It’s just that the ghost of Christmas past goes on for a really long time, and doesn’t bother with just sticking to Christmas moments. But yeah, the first time I watched it, it was…

I think the bigger crime is someone at Disney heard this:

Hey now...Naboo has TWO biomes!!!!!

I have to laugh because I recently realized that I had never watched the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly all the way through... And so I caught it before it disappeared from HBO max.

I don’t agree that it “amounted to nothing”. They failed to get a codebreaker, found another one, and went about with their plan (that ultimately failed). Which was kind of refreshing to watch (granted I could have done without the cgi horse escape bit).

Bb8?

Is it really a “short lived Netflix series” when looked at as a whole, they were producing new content for, I think, 7 years across five different properties.

“Return of the King” won not because it was a capstone to a beloved series ( which were generally well done) but also thanks to a lot Hollywood “inside baseball” kind of stuff. Hollywood had been trying to make a live action LOTR movie for decades and it was always deemed impossible to make. Plus, the entire bankroll…

Once you get beyond sitcoms, historically, network TV has always been medical dramas/ courtroom dramas/ first responders. It’s not surprising.
