It should be noted that Japanese people in Japan do not have the same cultural context as Japanese Americans. Or would you say that it’s okay for white Americans to wear blackface and sing spirituals because some people in Ghana think it’s no big deal?

Tom Holland is contracted to Sony, not to Marvel, and he has two more pictures on his contract. It’s up to him whether he decides to re-up after that obligation is met; he may not have as much fun with Spider-Man if he doesn’t get to play in the MCU. So we may see ANOTHER actor cast in the role in a few years.

They’ve already announced that they’re real dogs, and at least some of them are rescues. The celebrities are just providing the voices, Homeward Bound-style.

Likely. Hopkins is both musician and composer:

There used to be a joint in Northern California that sold savory-adjacent popsicles: smoked fig and bleu cheese and chicken and waffles were the notable examples. Their strategy seemed to be sweet+savory with a hit of umami. Those popsicles were spectacular. Expensive, though. The business closed. It was in a college…

Well. Except in the past, before the main events of the movie. It’s just as plausibly a flashback as it is a daydream.

A friend of mine reported a three-year-old in a movie theater who spent the first half of Finding Nemo demanding, with increasing distress, “But where’s the mommy? Where’d the mommy go?” The parents finally threw in the towel and took her out of the theater. Presumably to have a terrifying existential conversation…

Not every actor can be Keanu Reeves.

Ravelry has also, probably wisely, temporarily disabled the creation of new accounts.

To On_2's point, Ravelry has not banned discussion of or support for conservative values in general, other Republican Party elected officials or candidates or their platforms, future Republican administrations, or Republican Party priorities or legislation. Only support of Donald Trump and his administration. It’s…

Except the scene in Keanu’s hotel suite, right? Because that was filmed in the actual 6000-square-foot Fairmont Hotel penthouse suite in San Francisco.

Just curious: have you actually watched this thing?

The movie is set in San Francisco, but a lot of the exterior shots (including the one at the top of this page) are on location in Vancouver.

I went to see this without reading any reviews beforehand. Sometimes I do that, because sometimes critics don’t appreciate everything I appreciate. Also because I have AMC A-List, so I go to see a lot of movies for the hell of it.

So ... same idea as a haystack cookie?

That’s like saying that milkshakes are an evil abomination of ice cream.

Seconded. I wasn’t born and bred, but I lived in Atlanta for nine years. Sweet tea in a glass over ice should be strong enough to look as brown as a Coca-Cola and sweet enough to make a dentist weep in despair.

Then you definitely don’t understand tea as it’s consumed in the country of its origin.

Children in regions where spicy foods are a cherished part of the cuisine often start eating them as soon as they wean, but the foods may be ameliorated at first. For example, Korean children first eat kimchi that’s been rinsed with water; children in the southern Indian states that are famous for spicy foods, like…

I live on the West Coast. I was awake at 5AM our time to try to get tickets for my local AMC multiplex. I tried like hell for three hours. Nothing. At 8AM Pacific, AMC took their entire site down, at which point everyone who was still in queue at Fandango for an AMC theater immediately saw their wait time go to “over…
