Hear me out: John David Washington just isn’t a draw, regardless of his father.

The two biggest movies he’s ever done — Black KKKlansman and Tenet — got a lot of press and were relatively successful because of the subject matter and the directors (Spike Lee and Christopher Nolan, respectively). Anything else he’s been…

If I’m not mistaken, the ire surrounding the Chris Pratt incident was that he made that post on Mother’s Day that specifically mentioned his current wife, his mom, and his mother-in-law. Which is wonderful...except for the fact that he has a child (with developmental disorders no less) with his ex, Anna Faris (and she…

The issue you’re ignoring is that the very design of the game, especially at the competitive level, in some ways necessitates that grind, especially when discussing specific Pokemon that define the meta of the tiers they’re in.

In other words, you can’t separate tactical concerns (what moves to make while in battle)…

The sad part is how so many people who responded don’t know what the word “ponder” means...

Perhaps it’s splitting hairs, but there’s a conception of something being “leaked” as in reference to it being surreptitiously recorded or documented by someone with a vested interest in getting a juicy quote, even if the comments were made during something that was ostensibly open to the public. There’s also the…

The roles he takes (or have been offered) have him as this brooding tough guy...and he’s only 5'10". It’s discordant (and it’s the same issue that Kit Harrington has, who’s shorter), because one definition of being brooding (and one I find more compelling than merely being sullen) is being menacing, and they’re too…

The problem is that so much modern-day spy stuff just isn’t visually stimulating.

SIGINT is pretty boring to watch, hacking usually gets embellished to shit (save for something like Mr. Robot), and the paramilitary aspects of spying are now usually taken on by PMCs.

The other thing is that Cold War spying was…

The funny thing is that Richard Madden has now played a spy/bodyguard (or at least the partner of one) of some sort in 3 different roles, none of them particularly good: Bastille Day (with Idris Elba), Bodyguard, and now this.

I’ve got to give it to his agent, he’s still getting booked even though his run on Game of…

Even in non-abuse situations, it’s incredibly common for people who have gone through a traumatic event to act in a manner that they’re accustomed to acting, simply because of the comfort present in maintaining some semblance of a routine.

You hit the nail on the head.

A broken finger sounds immediately painful, but through andrenaline, shock, and alcohol consumption, people have walked through far more serious injuries for a longer time than a mere broken finger.

I am heterosexual, but I have met several gay men who have made me think that they are lucky to be gay. I would never ask a gay man if he feels lucky to be gay, but one has expressed that to me. I once knew a short unattractive man who told me he is gay, and I felt so much relief for him. He really is better off being…

The Star Wars Holiday Special is squarely in the territory of, “So Bad I Want to Watch Just to Ponder How Something This Bad Could Ever Be Made by Sober People”.

We know how and why this game was made (old stars needing a quick paycheck, and unscrupulous game devs with more money than sense needing a resume boost). The…

Danny Glover, Michael Madsen, Chuck Norris, and Vanilla Ice would be big names if this was 2002 and they were attached to GTA: Vice City. There’s literally an entire generation of video gamers who likely have never encountered any of these people in any significant media format (to young for Chuck Norris memes, Danny…

Exactly.

People are looking at the gaming industry and comparing it to other industries and potential monopolies in those, and they’re forgetting one very important distinction: production differentiation (or the lackthereof).

One of the issues with monopolies in other industries is that you’re often talking about…

First off, economics was my 2nd major at university, so let’s get that out of the way before you talk yourself out of the conversation.

Limited production means that there’s a set amount that’s going to be produced, not that the amount is necessarily low relative to any other model.

Those others models had set production amounts decided before they went into production. However many 750s models are made are determined primarily by demand and sales. If…

And a platform exclusive is another term for console exclusive. You’re right that if you have ultimate, you can play on either xbox or PC, but that neither negates the platform exclusivity, nor the MS advantage—in fact it expands it (why get PS+ when with GP you can play on console OR PC, with a larger selection of…

His wording is vague, but those are all limited-production models, while McLaren will produce as many of the 750s as they have a market for.
