“I took senior Physics and Biology and have literally never used either.”

Yes you have, you just don’t realize it.

And even putting that aside, the ability to think critically and have a basic understanding of science is important to create a population that isn’t suckered into nonsense like, for example, the anti-vax…

Yep. Exactly this.

Reasoning with OSU fans is not advised. Some deem it impossible.

No, but his 180 at Ohio State does not erase what he did at Florida. Ever.

Ever.

Uh, NBC already has an Olympic anthem. It was written in 1984 by John Williams and it’s infinitely better than anything either of those two could come up with.

“At present, the server capacity in Japan is not powerful enough.”

I mean, it isn’t here either.

It’s only been released in 3 major territories overseas so far though (UK, Brazil, Australia, with a few minor territories as well), it still has Russia, Germany, Italy, France, Mexico, Spain and Japan coming.

Not being allowed to release in China is going to hurt, though. No question.

There’s actually likely a lot to this. Feig’s films have historically had good holds week-over-week (as in they don’t bring in massive amounts up front but stay solid for many weeks running), so if Ghostbusters keeps to that form, it might make it to the $400 million world-wide it’s going to need to be considered a…

“The budget for the film came out $144 million”

The thing is that that does not include the marketing budget, which was in the $100 million range, so you’re looking at $250 million to break even, and much more than that to be considered a “success” on that budget.

Not helping matters is the fact that the film has been…

The shooter is *entirely* at fault, legally speaking. There was no trespassing, and thus he did not have the right to walk onto a public road and point a gun at anyone.

The joke. That was it.

I’ll be honest, I’ve visited NYC about a dozen times in my life for various reasons and every time I leave my reaction is just “blah”.

Like, NYC just doesn’t seem all that special to me, and I’m a city boy! Raised in a city, live in a city! NYC just seems over-hyped and just sort of bleh.

You know what? My wife and I installed Pokemon Go. Now, I’m 33 and she’s 28 and Pokemon is very much more of her time than mine, but damned if we aren’t having a blast going out as a couple and spending time together walking around various places in town and meeting people we never would have otherwise.

FUCK the kind…

I mean, what’s the alternative? The majority of the country lives in the East and Central time zones. You push the start time of the first game to 6:00 Pacific and you’re looking at 9 Eastern/8 Central. That just isn’t realistic, especially from an advertising standpoint.

“Game of Thrones wasn’t shown any love in the major categories”

Outstanding Drama Series isn’t a “major category”? Supporting actor/actress aren’t either? Because Thrones is literally half those two lists. Interesting perspective there.

This is the best segment of the whole thing, from Portman:

“I am woefully lacking ritual in my life, which is among the hardest things and best things about my work. I will never have the boredom or repetitiveness of an office. But every job takes me to a new place with a new schedule, and it requires a reinvention of…

This is important because it’s true. Well-adjusted kids with direction in their lives in High School don’t do two things: Become cops or enlist in the military right out of school.

It’s nearly *always* the mal-adjusted and emotionally stunted that do this. I was in education for a decade and saw it every single year.…

“NBC Sports Group chairman Mark Lazarus said that delays were necessaryin order to “give the context of the show,”

“Niantic Asia’s marketing guy Kento Suga has been politely tells said fans that the game isn’t quite ready.”

I mean, it wasn’t ready anywhere else either, so he’s not wrong.

Holy shit, Ari Emanuel? That dude gets around.
