I got that story wrong, because it had been a while since I’d heard it. My friend’s acquaintance was actually one of the area reps for the show, and was always bugging him to be on the show. She described how the process goes down, which was basically what I described above—everything’s agreed on well in advance,…

From what I can tell, the concept of Peggy becoming Captain America goes back at the very least to Saladin Ahmed’s 2018 run of Exiles.

“I have to read this bullshit, right, I have to read this bullshit that gets the seal of approval from the people that work at the game, who make the game this way,” he said. “Before you call me toxic, deal with your own fucking game.”

Well cool, thanks for squashing the image Kinja.

What do you think comes after kicking your boss in the nuts?

She’s an asshole who raised an asshole... it's a fitting end. 

You talking about him or his mom?

nobody buying this is going to be expecting maxed out graphics settings on modern games. but this device will be able to run the vast majority of the games on Steam at probably medium to high settings. PC games don’t need to be 4K 120FPS. games run just as well at 1080p 60FPS especially on a small screens like this or…

It’s kind of a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t situation. No one has to just be quiet and take false accusations lying down, but it’s always a good idea to be mindful that said false accusations are the minority of cases, and we generally have a bigger issue with people not being believed in cases of sexual…

Yeah same; I thought it would definitely be one where you had to try to hear it, but uhhh. I agree that it’s almost certainly unintentional, but it’s also wild to think no one on the sound team heard it.

Psh it can’t be as bad as they say lemme check this ou.....oh. Damn.

Yeah, dude...

It does make sense. I mean, based on current real world information, racists are among the group least likely to seek out vaccinations or other medical assistance in the event of a zombie plague. I bet they just lost their MAGA hats in the zombie shuffle.

Poe did not score a “major victory” and his actions did nothing to “keep the Resistance alive.” The fleet was ready to jump away to safety when he insisted on continuing the attack for literally zero benefit. I’m sorry you weren’t paying attention, but that’s exactly what happens in the film.

I think there’s enough of a difference between restaurants and (say) film that makes “only positives” a more reasonable approach to food than to film (aside from the critic’s “COVID did enough damage” justification). But most dining, most of the time, even among gourmands, isn’t among restaurants that live and die by…

If a restaurant’s bad, he simply doesn’t review it.

I’m fairly certain that RT score is gamed by the trolls. That high Episode IX score is kinda belied by the box office, which was not in any way TFA-like. The thing that puts me off TLJ criticism most (and I agree, there’s a fair bit to criticize there) is that so much of the “A TOTAL FAILURE!” stuff looks and smells…

Yeah, TLJ is totally the best-made movie of the three, but after letting it settle for a few years, I think that kind of failing to move the plot forward (especially for Rey and Finn) was a miss for the trilogy.

The general success of Disney’s live action remakes is baffling to me. The animated films are right there, and 10x more lively and colorful. Were people really so curious to learn what a live action version of the Beast would look like? Particularly as the answer was “incredibly shitty CGI”?

I like The Last Jedi. I’m a defender of The Last Jedi — it’s a darn good movie.
