lmfao if $1k a month was that inconsequential to my budget, I wouldn’t be driving the Walmart of cars.

Nor are they a new phenomenon 

Are people seriously still clutching their pearls over a movie having reshoots? Reshoots don’t say anything about an individual movie these days, although they definitely say something about the big-budget Hollywood machine.

Also, I guess the animated series is very popular and still airs in Brazil,of all places and an incredible commercial for Renault gave the group an “unofficial” live-action finale to the animated series. :)

Whereas I can’t look at Wyatt Russell without thinking that he was created in a lab to star as Carl in the inevitable live-action adaption of Up

The vast amount of porn and fanfic of these characters disagree with you.

People want PvE because they want more story scenarios featuring these characters that aren’t vague nonsense hinted at by trailers.  It’s a big reason why people got so upset about Overwatch 2.0

People who make food for children are still called “cooks.”

I can confirm that. Marvel paid me just fine and on time. They paid peanuts of course, but they paid and I got my check with Spiderman on it.

You are wrong; they don’t have a disdain for the arts. If they did, they wouldn’t be running a comic book company or Disney. What they have a disdain for is artists.

Thanks for telling me shit I already know, but I’m not talking about Disney trying to use AI so they don’t have to employ animators or actors. I’m talking about comic book companies not paying people for work they have already done. These are two entirely different things. One is a big systemic issue; the other is an…

No, I guarantee you that Marvel and DC will actually pay writers and artists for the work they provide. They may make them sign a contract that says “these characters belong to use and we can us them in any way we see fit” but they will pay you for the work you do. Scout Comics, AfterShock, Action Lab, they all are…

For some reason, when small indie press comic publishers realize that being a, well, small indie press comic publishers isn’t very profitable, they refuse to acknowledge it and instead simply cheat out the people who made the comics. Like, hey, maybe figure out if you have the money to pay these people before you…

I would wager walking around money that these “lower prices” would be right around what their current prices are, and they would be happy to raise them during surge periods.

100%. I work for a fortune 500, and it is the same cycle every time. Our economy is dependent on the myth of unlimited growth. When you lay off all of these people, it frees up reporting cash for shareholders to see. Which means when they actually do have growth, they will need to re-hire anyways and have massive…

Wendy’s seems not to realize that consistency is an important reason people buy fast food from a recognizable brand. Consistency in food quality (ideally good, but even consistently not-terrible), sure. Also price, having the feeling you’re not being jerked around or getting ripped off.

I’ve really had just about enough of late-stage capitalism – I wish more people felt the same. 

This would simplify the process of deciding where to eat.

The diversion Joker uses to force a re-route on Dent’s convoy involves using a fire truck...that’s on fire.  Probably my fave Nolan joke.

“The court found that Huy Fong did in fact overpay by $1.4 million, but ultimately ruled in Underwood’s favor”

Their sriracha was never spicy. It’s the pickled garlic and the fermenting process that made it what it was. You can tell with most of the other sriracha sauces out there that they have garlic, but not enough pickling of the garlic for it to hit the same. But Huy Fong did this to themselves by for years marketing that…
