Patlabor movies are just movies that happen to have mechas in them, though... 

This felt like something that was gonna be really cool.

He means less than half TFA’s opening weekend (domestically).

Half of that is China - where TFA didn’t launch on day 1.

As anyone who ever watched Bake Off would know, this is a proving drawer.

If placenta is vegetarian, so is roadkill.

Most of these are just general trends, not particular to this year. And quite a few of these trends might get reversed due to what happened in politics in 2016.

I long had an idea for a zombie universe where only straight white people (or whatever local oppressive majority is in other places) get infected, while the minorities have to defend themselves...

Wait. The boomerang thing completely escapes me. Was that really a controversy, or was it just some guy on a blog?

Losing 1:0 to Barcelona is the next best thing to winning.

Not the way they are now, the expensive, pointless mess of an event. But that could change, if there’s a will to change.

If you’re Japanese and you wander around aimlessly in an alley, the police will question you. Same being white in Canada or whatever other vastly Cauciasian country. When everyone is treated equally, everyone is questioned for suspicious behavior.
