considering glover’s character will presumably still be a cop in the upcoming lethal weapon 5 it sounds like affleck has another 50+ years of playing cops ahead of him.

serious as a heart attack. love affleck, like rodriguez a lot, seems a like a fun departure for both of them.

Um, I think you’re joking, but that actually sounds pretty great to me for a fine evening of at home entertainment. 

“…who moonlights as a scammy faux-psychic…”

ben affleck starring in a robert rodriguez passion project, being distributed by something called ‘ketchup entertainment’ because the original distributor shut down while the movie was in production? sign me up!

My north american morning bus commute was (before I switched to work from home) absolutely filled with upper income white collar folks like myself and the dude in this commercial. Not sure what you’re on about besides stereotyping. Bus commuting simply makes more sense.

Yeah you’re just brainwashed by the shittiness of america

Public transit is good and not a sign of class or status if you use it.

Bring back the goddamn videos.

If the employees aren’t the owners of the homes he’s now their boss AND their landlord.

It’s also a real estate investment for him, rather than just a good thing to do for his employees.

More like that puts their housing under his control and makes it more difficult to get out from under his thumb if problems arise.

No thanks. That’s too much control he has over their lives.

Because company towns were such a great idea in the past.

Villians forced to be heroes is always a fun trope. Especially the silly silver age style villains. Its what the Suicide Squad is built on. There is also a fun RPG world for the Savage Worlds system called “Necessary Evil” where aliens invade earth and take out all the heroes, so the villians that managed to stay…

All of our work is ebb and flow. The successes pay for the time when things aren’t going well. Sometimes they go well and sometimes they don’t, but you can live off of the time that you wrote something that had a lot of residual [fees paid out]. It’s always been a tenuous career. But if you take away most of the…
