Have you seen it?

I think they’re surprisingly close in quality of moviemaking, if we really go down to brass tacks. Maverick is a hyper-focused machine of a movie, whereas EEAAO is a bit of a flabby movie with an overlong last act, that slips up a couple of times. However, EEAAO is a much better candidate for best picture specifically …

It’s absolute drivel as an insult.

With the greatest respect, as a 45-year old man, what about this seems woke?

I honestly cannot see how it’s a “better film”. It’s just a typically toothless well-meaning-liberal take on a horrific situation, which ends up downplaying things slightly (never a great look imho), and which will likely be forgotten in 10-20 years. I mean, that is a good description of maybe a lot of movies that win…

“And I’m the one who needs to read more carefully and you don’t know SpaceX has had a working 120m rocket-catching tower for like a year and a half now? :D Or that they’re building three more down in Florida? So yeah - they’re gonna catch ‘em with chopsticks, Miyagi style. Because landing legs are heavy and would eat…

I believe so. Elmore Leonard popularized it as - “If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.” - but I don’t think he invented it. Justified certainly popularized it further.

Hol’ up everyone!

I am quite sure there will always be room on TikTok for MLM scamming, and rapidly spreading extremely dangerous conspiracy theories, along with the fetish material.

I mean, Jesse Cox is pretty clearly in the first camp you describe, the 1-2%, given the games he’s worked on. So I guess she found the right dev?

“ I see no reason why this wouldn’t be the case (and certainly not just on your say-so)“

“Gangs of New York is WAY overrated. Dont get wrong it is a good movie, but its nothing profound.”

I don’t think you understand what the word “superior” means.

A lot of other ones didn’t deserve to lose, though. Notably Fury Road vs. Spotlight, or Fellowship vs. A Beautiful Mind. Both Spotlight and Beautiful Mind are worthy movies but neither is remarkable nor contains particularly shockingly brilliant acting or writing. Both are even a little intellectually lightweight…

“I mean, yes, sure, but as has been pointed out fairly extensively at the time, in the years since, and ESPECIALLY since 1.1 leaked, the OGL doesn’t actually “give” players anything that they aren’t already entitled to under black letter IP law”

“The Charlie Manson thing feel a bit on poor taste.”

Backed into a legal corner doesn’t hold up if we look at the actual facts at the time. It’s a retcon at best.

I’m glad to hear this isn’t something happening to you constantly!

People who think “blogger” is an effective insult aren’t very bright, so that’s more of a reflection on their own profound ignorance than anything else.

See here’s the problem:
