I live in Manhattan and it has smelled like a campfire since yesterday. It’s awful. 

I live in Minnesota. We have never had safety inspections. We did have emissions testing in the 90s for a while, but they stopped that after the air quality improved and they found that the vehicles still on the road were clean enough that they didn’t need to test anymore. There are some shitty cars on the roads here,…

To me it feels like the dawn of voice activated personal assistants back with early Siri and Alexa. People were blown away, but they were mostly terrible. It took 5-8 years+ to get it to where its mostly workable, however, it didn’t become this conversational wunderkind that people expected it to. It’s there, it does…

Well, Journalism teaches one to separately cross reference any sources or stated materials to make sure the details are sound.  In AI, my main concern isn’t “should you rely on it”... (as know people will accept anything that makes their lives/jobs easier even if the failure rate is high).. what I worry is the…

And the fact that Lithgow didn’t even attempt a Maine accent

The only thing the 2019 version got right was making the cat scarier. That grey ball of fluff in the original is boring.

Yeah, I’ll believe Miyazaki’s done when he’s in the ground. And maybe not even then, given that many filmmakers have had movies they were working on released after their death.

I think Pet Sematary is actually an extremely hard book to adapt well to film. The heart of the novel is being inside of Louis Creed’s head . . .

Honestly, it’s tough to be more racist than “What Makes the Red Man Red.” Not impossible, of course, as the live-action parts of Song of the South can attest.

Flame trenches might not be necessary, the escape velocity of the Moon is low enough that not much thrust is needed.

Animated parts are ok  .Film isn’t great and it isn’t the worst thing ever either . It has a Academy Award winning Song .A black man who is a star and the smartest character in the film. One would think in the open minded mindset it could be viewed .

The Black Cauldron was based (extremely loosely) on bit and pieces from the first two books from Lloyd Alexander’s Chronicles of Prydain series, which is absolutely awesome and very similar to Terry Pratchett, not they you’d know it by watching the Disney version.

They should absolutely ignore the animated movie and go…

Yeah, this ain’t new. People have been talking about this phenomenon since 90210, and that was 30 years ago. I remember what a big deal it was that Freaks and Geeks had actual teenagers in the cast, and how tiny they were in comparison to what we were used to seeing on those shows.

but they have to spent money for that, something these corporate ghouls hate.

So lemme get this straight, a company spent hundreds of MILLIONS on both a factory site and handbuilt mold for this and already are road testing it in the wild per MANY pics...and you still think it’s not getting built? Lol!

AAn ICE F-150 loses a significant amount of range when hauling that much weight or towing. My F-150 with the 4.5L TT got 22mpg on the highway unloaded. Slap on a 7000lb camper and the range would drop to 10mpg, over 50% loss. If you had a 20 gallon tank, that’s a drop in range from 440 miles to 200 miles. No one is…

What’s the mileage hit like on the ICE versions of these trucks, when hauling the same payload?

I was really excited for the new adaptation of The Stand, and even when some stuff started trickling out that made me more skeptical, I still figured, “Well, it can’t be worse than the 90's mini-series.” And I don’t know if it did end up worse than that, but man, it was a hell of a lot closer than it had any right to…

For whatever reason, I often find myself enjoying a lot of these really bad ones. In particular, I watch The Langoliers anytime I randomly stumble across it because it makes me laugh a lot (Dean Stockwell reminds me more of Doc Brown than Shatner, but I can see where you’re coming from). Similarly, The Tommyknockers ho…

That would be a stupendously excellent idea. I mean, “Lord of the Rings” was a box office bonanza, and it’s now been long enough that they could do justice to the Black Cauldron series without it being quite so much in that trilogy’s shadow. Completely ignore the animated movie, start from scratch, actually follow the…
