the X-Periment

I’m going to throw in one piece of advice for a first playthrough: there is a point where, if you have any gaming sense, you’ll think you’re being told “entering this place is the point of no return, so go finish up any side quests before you commit”. It’s not. I have no idea why that piece of dialogue is there.

And honestly, the original is about 20 minutes too long.  (I could do without Uncle Albert, in particular.)  I say this as otherwise a very big fan of that film.

Mike Lindell is what a guy who think he looks like Don Draper actually looks like.

Bernie Koppel’s been seen on B Positive this past year, so we know he’s good!

Yeah, it’s basically a great list, but “Fight Club and Heathers are worth watching” is not what I would call a real hot take.

It is really amazing that they think that the US Constitution includes, explicitly, the right of the citizens to overthrow the government by force. Like, what’s all of the rest of it for then?

I think this might be age-related; after age 50, a lot of people (and of course I mean myself, the only person who counts) are a lot more sensitive to glare. This is why the sterotype of “old person who doesn’t drive at night” exists. If a cellphone light in a dark theater doesn’t bother you now, it still might be…

And the Ragnarok callback to the beating, years later, is about the best thing in that movie.

Opinion here seems pretty uniform, but that’s because it’s correct.

I’d love to remember that, but search “perfect gif” doesn’t exactly narrow it down. I added a couple of likely names but not sure what scene we’re going for here.

I’m sort of impressed with myself that I recognized what they were doing in the first picture.  Cox and Aniston sitting a bit forward with full attention is exactly duplicating the original setup.

So...there are movies that people remember, and movies that for some reason never made it into general consciousness. In particular, this makes me think of Perfect (1985), which had John Travolta, Jamie Lee Curtis, Marilu Henner, and Lorraine Newman, and, like both Saturday Night Fever and Urban Cowboy, was based on…

Maybe a lion or something? I’m no naturalist.

Disney can’t make those films under that brand, but Disney owns Touchstone, which can release pretty much anything it wants.

I guess the idea is that the AI presumed that the person entering the RV was Irons, who it thinks is Luthor. Didn’t he mention something about how he’d only fixed the audio? Which sets up that the AI is actually blind.

Oh, interesting. I was actually thinking is was pretty much bullshit to give us “Captain Luthor” and then reveal “well, the suit thinks he’s Luthor, but he’s not.” I somehow feel better knowing they actually changed course.

By the way, in the captioning, the test subjects are referred to as “Subjekts”, capital S, with a K. Which seems kind of stupid but maybe it’s a reference to a comics story line.

Not sure if you count it as Arrowverse, but Superman and Lois has been pretty good (I haven’t seen this week’s yet).

This took a second for me to get, but well done.
