Yes. And even adding this weekend, the total run of Endgame will still be 3 weeks shy of the Special Edition re-release of Avatar alone. Now, the majority of Avatar’s original run came with fewer than 1,000 theatres showing it (dwindling from 814 screens in week 14 to 9 in week 29 and finally 1 in the final week) but…

Found the edgy hot-take. Stand back, you can’t handle this guy’s cool, folks.

Avatar did get a theatrical re-release about 7 months after the original premiere.  I think it’s how it get the box office crown in the first place.

I say this as a life long Mets fan, whose day to day mood is unfortunately partially dictated by the team: This is not at all surprising. This sort of dysfunction has been steady through several GMs, managers, and rosters. The mood of the team for years has been a place where good players go for their careers to die.…

Based on their newsletter, they’re eventually going to do game boxes for X-Wing and TIE Fighter (not the later “vs”, but each of the original separate games).

The thing I enjoy about Stewart in this entire situation is that I have no doubt he’s genuine. His jokes about McConnell looking like a turtle may seem like going for the easy joke, but you can tell he has seething contempt for him. The only other time I saw him visibly despise someone in this way was when he roasted…

The last time there was a Deadspin item on the shift, I typed the phrase “bunt double”.

You could draw some similarities to football. Buddy Ryan develops the 46 defense. Offenses move to more short passing, less play action. And so on. And it only took 5-10 years! At the rate baseball strategy evolves, I anticipate teams effectively game planning against the shift in...30 years or so.

I feel pretty confident that, over a long enough timeline, baseball players would get better at using all fields and render the shift a losing proposition. On the other hand, it seems increasingly likely that the inevitable collapse of human civilization will thwart any evolutions of that kind. Ah well.

It's in the Special Edition

Admittedly it’s been a while since I saw A New Hope but I guess I missed the bit where Alec Guinness is partying with babes in bikinis and listening to fancy music? 

Also, this might explain the deletion of the tweets:

This is the most infuriating thing. The man isn’t stupid, he’s had his hands in creating some impressive stuff. But then he turns around and does the dumbest crap like this.

Please just remember - these are essentially extremely fine sandpaper equivalents, their entire ‘erasing’ feature is simply the result of wearing down the surface being cleaned. So it may be unwise to use these heavily on items such as keyboards where the keycaps have the letters ‘imprinted’ on them via decal or…

She was never at the Red Wedding, because his wife in the books is a different character. They also never had a child. 

you’re high if you don’t think releasing those books is free money. The interest in the series is now tenfold. I, for one, love the show and will be picking up the entire book series for the first time if he finishes said books. I’m certainly not alone. 

GRRM has written many, MANY things. A Song of Fire & Ice is literally a fraction of what he has produced, but it’s clearly the work for which history will remember him. Whatever he produces will be studied and pored over.  If it were me, I’d be damned sure my last book was nothing less than the perfect words in the…

Something tells me he may end up with three books just because of sheer length. The biggest problem with his writing style is that he is essentially writing stories of both books simultaneously and then has to figure out when he has gotten to a good ending for Winds of Winter.  If he releases Winds of Winter before…

inb4 people complain that he should just be working on the book

debasing themselves in the foolish hope that a critical mass of crap will pass as worthwhile content
