Also ya I have no clue how the investigator determined anything concrete by the single surveillance footage clip I saw. It looked pretty inconclusive, but that’s why they’re the experts I guess. Maybe they have another camera angle that isn’t public yet.

Only thing that makes sense is camera footage that shows the brake lights on, or internal GPS/black box data that shows pressure being applied prior to going airborne. I’m sure Bentley has the technology, considering similar technology is available to Hyundai/Kia, which allowed them to show that in the Tiger Woods…

I totally agree with you that you need to see the God Butcher butchering gods, but one things that stands out is that we largely didn’t. We see Gorr kill a god in his introductory scene. There’s apparently a campaign of butchering that’s been going on, but it mostly occurs offscreen.

Not that it narratively matters with Kang, but my guess is that if he does get recast, they’d want someone younger. Oyelowo is 47, Majors is 34, and Oyelowo in Kang’s main getup would look rather similar to Chukwudi Iwuji as The High-Revolutionary (who, interestingly enough, is 48).

Marvel problems (a plot that muddled with unnecessary characters and storylines).

I enjoyed Ragnarok, but lets be clear, coming from the original Thor and The Dark World, both of which were rather dour trecks with relatively unappealing characters (save for Loki), you could really only go up from there.

In my opinion, we saw what Taiki unrestrained would do with the character, and we got Love &…

Very true.

You really can’t discount how significant the sunk cost fallacy is once these cults lay on the financial grift.

True, but you have to consider that a lot of those Steam games simply aren’t available on consoles (indie titles), and many PC-only titleslikely had a lower entry price point because of the assumption that you’d pay significantly more over the lifetime of the game for DLC (The Sims-series and Paradox Interactive…

I guess I’m confused since if you have PS5/4 or Xbox One/Series, if you buy a game digitally or physically it installs to the console itself anyway. Having a smaller drive is inconsequential to the physical/digital argument since its going to be filled either way.

I didn’t say it was underhanded. I simply said it was a technique designed to play towards various consumer psychological phenomenons that we’ve known about for decades in other spaces, but for a shorter time in gaming.

The limitation on SSD space, I believe, is actually used to drive digital sales because of the…

It’s interesting that people thought that digital sales would be less expensive given that they cut out two things that contribute to the price disparity for physical media: the actual, physical production, distributions, and storage of the media, and the various entities involved in getting that media to the eventual…

To be medically pedantic, but its possible to be HIV-positive and have AIDS and not have that be the exact cause of death. What patients (especially during that era) tended to die of are various opportunistic infections and illnesses that almost solely come about because AIDS has ravaged your immune system to the…

It’s made even more astounding when you consider that, for most of the Twin Flamers (if that’s the appropriate title), the majority of their communications were done through Zoom calls. With most of the “successful” cults, being physically present is one of, if the the, most important element of making the cult grow,…

I was 13 when the original came out, and will be turning 33 two weeks after the reboot drops. If I had a kid during college (which isn’t too terribly uncommon), they’d be 13-14 now. The age tracks, but given that one of Mean Girls’ main demographic is gay men like myself...the line doesn’t really land for us either…

Exactly.

As I said in a previous reply, Esports aren’t a competitive arena that scales well economically past a certain point (and I think it’s clear that OWL is that point).

The team buy-in was absolutely absurd (that $35-$60m figure is comparable to the average team valuation of NFL and NBA franchises as recently as…

This is very true.

Even amongst sports that have grown in popularity, you still see a great deal of consolidation around a central entity (such as the NFL, NBA, or MLB, leaving aside the antitrust issues for a moment), and in earlier days, financial difficulties within a league could easily result in team owners and…

I’m not even a comics fanboy, but Dr. Doom is legendary on so many levels that, truly, Marvel hasn’t yet used a villain like him.

Thanos is amazing, but they had to change his entire characterization from the comics because it is admittedly very lame and thin (he wanted to wipe out 50% of the universe to impress Lady…

Even so, his contract is nowhere near as large as people are making it out to be. Further, the potential upsides of a recast are likely far in excess of any legal claims he’d have against them.

It’s a bit silly to think that Disney, at this stage, wouldn’t have significant morals clauses in their contracts for…

You’re a bit off.

The original theatrical release of the Hateful 8 didn’t have an intermission. I’d know because I saw it opening night.

What you’re referencing is the “Roadshow” style release he did at select theaters (those that either already had 70mm projectors, or ones QT personally selected for retrofitting) for a…

The issue is that both of those entities (but especially theater chain execs), have a huge incentive to fit as many showings in a given day as possible. This is why most movies come in at around 90 minutes.

Think about this. Let’s say your average theater opens at noon, and the last showing will start at midnight…
