I like to think that the current political climate is largely why people are turning out in high numbers for a midterm.

So... late stage capitalism?

yup, that would have been great in my opinion

At one point, a film-obsessed Carlos asks, “How am I supposed to be the next Tarantino if I don’t work at a video store?” The question just doesn’t feel relevant anymore.

Passengers, even if not Amazing, is a pretty decent movie overall. It would have been 100x better if the story had been told from the perspective of Lawrence’s character first, but still.

Adele told me to get out of the restaurant business back in 2019. She said she couldn’t tell me why, just that I’d be better off switching my whole operation over to making hand sanitizer.

What’s wrong with Pickle Rick? Some of the original weight is lost because he’s already a pickle in the cosmetic, but in the show he turns himself into a pickle. It’s the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. My IQ is huge, you know.

The problem a lot of people seem to be unable to fully grasp is that an unfaithful adaptation isn’t necessarily a bad one. The Witcher Netflix series while not faithful to the source material is a great series. The same is true for the video game series.

John Carpenter’s The Thing is completely unfaithful to the source…

Its like she decided to f*** around and now she is finding out.

ironic no? she tried to get people cancelled and now she’s getting herself cancelled

You can of course easily make a video game

Damn she is all those things. I barely followed this whole saga, but original VA is a horrible worthless human being and I think the world needs less people like her getting a platform.

I didn’t have any sympathy for her to begin with, but this kinda just seals the deal.

What gets me is it’s not just a group that’s anti-abortion, it’s one that specializes in really shitty emotional manipulation based on the tiniest sliver of truth, if any at all.

Yeah, I’m sure the company is still bad. But probably not “force ten year old rape victims to have a baby” bad.

This is among other things including being a TERF, supporting blue lives matter and seemingly being in support of noted ghoul Joel Osteen

Just a lot of good good stuff coming from her

This pretty much, I didn’t really bother with the drama, but I generally raise an eyebrow at nonsense like the company responded with. My benefit of the doubt only extends so far though, and when you use it to do something else bad it tends to pull it towards dubiety.

Welp, there goes any sympathy I had.

Bored lawyer, desperate for work, invents stupid claim to bully a small business owner.  Film at 11.

Maybe I’m just getting old and soft, but my mind went to all the devs and team members who actually probably worked very hard on this game and were likely to some degree mismanaged. Hopefully they work on enough not to have this kind of thing affect them too much, but I’m sure it can’t be great for morale.
