It’s been a while and I try not to think about Into Darkness too much, but if Khan has been frozen for three centuries, then wouldn’t he be literally the same guy from Space Seed? The Kelvin timeline split would not have impacted him until he was found and unfrozen... That’s what bothers me about the casting. For all…

They still measure twice and cutting once, it’s just that the measuring is digital design and they’re 3d printing or laser cutting instead of using a saw.

180k is a bargain compared to what the Air Force will spend shooting this down.

My friend and I watched this in a dollar theater to kill some time the week before college started the September after it was released. We ended up spending the whole time literally yelling at all the characters to stop being so fucking dumb (nobody else was in the theater), and ended up having a great time. That…

7 years is very lucky though, the most common career length is somewhere around 3 years. If they play long enough to qualify for a pension that’s a pretty good deal. If not, that’s all they get and they could be stuck with chronic health issues and no medical insurance.

I'm kinda ashamed to admit it, but I was really excited about Abrams directing TFA. He did a pretty good job trying to make Star Trek into Star Wars, obviously he'd be even better actually making a Star Wars movie... To be fair, he did give the audience exactly what we thought we wanted in a Star Wars sequel.

I think screwball comedy would still be successful (like you said, with a bit less of the old school Hollywood cheesiness). There's just not room for comedies in the theaters anymore so it'll end up on Netflix and everyone will forget about it in a week.

I forget who it was, but one director complained that the action scenes were halfway done before he was even hired. Marvel's method of making movies is clearly very effective, but I can't blame a director for not wanting to work with those constraints.

You can turn it off on site settings for this domain.

I don’t even know why Grimes is famous. Her general vibe suggests some sort of avant guard artsy bullshit, which is fine, I guess. That said, she’s obviously qualified to criticize the Grammys!

That and the Simpsons clip posted above will always be my go-to reference points for Grammy irrelevance.

Yeah, back when Jethro Tull beat Metallica for the inaugural best metal album award.

They never should have been classified as "off-road vehicles" under CAFE. That term wasn't intended for primarily passenger vehicles.

Yeah the shitty think about it is that if a CEO actually did say that, the CEO would deserve to be fired.

Oh man, the comments on any gas stove article are absolutely NUTS. I mean, I understand that gas is more responsive than cheap electric stoves, and it's perfectly fine to have a personal preference as to which one is better for cooking. I just didn't think that waiting a few seconds for a pan to heat up was the hill…

I agree completely about teaching financial literacy, I would make a full year of that a requirement for graduation if it was up to me.

Why bother? The image really isn’t very relevant to the article. it’s just there to provide a quick visual reference to the subject of the article, which the image does just fine.

Maverick is an odd movie to hate on like that, because it’s an objectively well-made movie in a lot of ways. The dogfights were amazing and more immersive than I’ve ever seen before. The acting was pretty solid all around, the characters seemed fairly real and the plot mostly made sense. Sure, it’s probably not…

You read 500 of some random asshole's comments?

OK, I guess “win” is a relative term here... but that concrete beam turned into a cloud of debris in less than a second. I’m still giving the win to the train here.
