You know how if you’ve got a friend visiting and you know NYC, you’d steer them away from eating or shopping near Times Square? How it’s really only worth visiting to see it as a whole, but everything there is too generic and tourist-scam-y compared to the surrounding city? And how locals would straight-up mock you…

Who *hasn’t* had their hopes dashed somewhere in New Jersey?

Holy crap, that’s a brilliant marketing move. Usually they’re just side-stories, but if you have to watch the movie to continue following the show that’s gonna put butts in seats.

The R-rating is to protect children from being exposed to Dorito™ Samurai. That level of irritating cringe is medically inadvisable for minors.

I agree in principle, and decry the very idea of this sort of border wall, but... even just $600 checks to everyone that was approved last time comes out to around $147B after all is said and done. Comparing twice that amount to $1.4B, even for something terrible like this, isn’t really a good comparison and makes it…
