Over their careers, sure- that’s a legit position to take. But people always seem to forget how ridiculously otherwordly Shaq was when he was in his prime and dialed in. He was literally an unstoppable machine that could do whatever he wanted on the floor.
I wouldn’t recommend olympic lifts for an untrained beginner or someone who isn’t doing a lot of training already. They’re incredibly technical.
Horizon Organic Whole Milk is like drinking a vanilla milkshake. Plus, it NEVER has that weird, bitter, “is-it-already-rancid?” taste that regular milk can get. I’m definitely a milk snob.
Not to mention that the “outrageous” part of this is that they simply asked “if we did this, would you be willing to consider stopping your protest?” That seems like a fair question, and a pretty tame one at that. If the players had said “probably not” and the NFL had said “that’s it! We’re pulling out of negotiations…
I’m really hoping that The Shape of Water is great enough to finally warrant the fawning praise Del Toro always gets. I honestly have never understood why people are so super excited to hear a rumor that he’s going to direct a movie about some story they love. Pans Labyrinth was great. Otherwise, he’s produced a…
I feel like two things can be true: 1) I can super psyched for this movie to come out, and have very high hopes for it; and 2) I can think this trailer was very “meh”. Yup, we see all the characters we all knew were going to be there. Yeah, we get to see Thanos, although we only see him standing there for the most…
I never really read comic books growing up, so I bought in to the fanboy description of comic books as being adult and interesting and capable of poignant writing. But then I went and looked up some of the comics that the fans are relying on as examples of “good writing”, and they’re almost all laughably bad and…
I don’t get why the comparisons always focus on a USD v. Bitcoin argument. As if bitcoins are only valuable or worthwhile if they can somehow compete against the dollar and gain similarly widespread acceptance. Bitcoins seem to be a clearly niche currency with niche uses. That doesn’t mean that it’s completely…
“It has value when I can go to a store and fucking spend it! Why is this so hard to understand? Bitcoin is worthless because it’s useless.”
“The value of a currency is based on a country’s GDP and the strength of that country’s economy, not by how many people want money.”
Thanks for reminding me of how excited I was in 2013 for a new Superman movie. How far DC has fallen in 4 years.
Which movies are you referencing? I just went back and looked at the marvel movies that came out before GotG, and none of them strike me as having a Nolan style aesthetic to them, but maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying...
Personally, I think it’s terrible that the music is designed to blend into the background. A great soundtrack can very effectively improve the experience of watching a movie, but that requires the soundtrack to at least present itself. This scene comes to mind as a way that music was used to clearly enhance the…
Great video, thanks for sharing. I found the description of Marvel’s music as “fine/bland/inoffensive” to be spot on. It’s always just...there. It hardly ever adds to a scene or creates a memorable experience. Movies like Nolan’s Batman trilogy or The Last of the Mohicans literally wouldn’t be the same without their…
Ugh, completely disagree about the music. I despise the Avengers theme. I literally rolled my eyes when that first “dun dun dunDUN” came on. I find it gratingly terrible.
I really want to know the background of this. It doesn’t seem like two guys who are legit furious at one another- it seems more like the “let’s go ahead and box” bravado guys do every once in a while, and the guy who got knocked out didn’t realize how serious the other guy was.
This review doesn’t really surprise me. Having played Final Fantasy XV, it seems as if the developers are just rushing out content. The game itself showed flashes of greatness, but for the most part just felt disjointed and half formed. The VR simulation sounds very similar. Which is a shame. If they had focused on…
Claiming that a team not playing or buying out a draft pick that has shown he’s simply not that good will somehow destroy that team’s reputation with the rest of the league is dramatically overplaying your hand. This may not be the wisest move (I can see both sides of the argument), but it’s certainly not the thing…
I haven’t watched this movie in a while, but didn’t they TRY to both get on top and realized they couldn’t? And before you say “well they could have switched back and forth”- that’s silly. The amount of energy it would have taken to get both of them swapping back and forth in freezing temperatures would have almost…
