Especially if she brought her usual doesn’t-give-a-shit energy to the role. She’s going to take over the universe but she’s not thrilled about it.

 Never seen the phrase "phase flop". You just made that up right? If it is used it isn't by the fans. "Fans" morelike.

Fuck yeah, another role for Don Cheadle.

I got a Community notification for this?

Michael Cera has stated time and again how he doesn’t like being famous, and that he deliberately stepped out of the spotlight because of it. So any ‘stall’ in his career was self-inflicted.

Is it really “easy to forget,” as the article asserts, that Justin Timberlake is a really famous popstar? And has his career really “cratered,” or “crumbled?” My sense is that it’s not especially surprisingly that a 42-year-old who has been famous for more than two decades is no longer the hottest name in music, but…

There’s a vast difference between Microsoft, a company that’s been publishing and developing games for 30+ years and a wealthy investment group treating game development like it’s a crypto boom. There’s plenty of money to be made, but in gaming, it’s a very long road to wealth. Unless you can hit on a candy crush or…

That’s a common misconception. The general explanation (your “legal reason”) is that the defense lawyers must raise most every potential argument at an early stage of the proceeding or else risk losing the ability to utilize them later, when they may be crucial. This is all understood (and/or explained) to jurors (if…

The issue is they had some kind of deal with everyone’s favorite Human rights voilators, Saudi Arabia, that fell through to the tune of TWO BILLION DOLLARS. so they spent the money they thought they were going to get...then didn’t.

Nope, my money’s on the limo driver from Die Hard.

Well that’s one way to get audiences back to the cinema.

Of course not.

More likely that Aspyr got a feel for the franchise working on the ports and was chosen to try their hand at the remake due in part to that

The real Henry Cavill was inside us all along.

It isn’t that you can’t buy your way, it’s that you have to do so smartly and, well, within your means. Microsoft is buying Activision Blizzard, yes, but AB and its continued operating costs are still just a drop in the bucket of MS' coffers. Embracer just bought and bought and bought, assuming these franchises would…

This is a glorious example of why I laugh every time private equity tries to defend itself. Embracer went on an insane spending spree and is now exploding, destroying companies, jobs, and lives in the process. WTF did they think was going to happen? Only the most deluded, Wharton School piece of shit thinks they can…

In general terms perhaps, but I think the situation does become greyer when it comes to the kind of Nanette-eseque “this is My Truth” autobiographical-confessional-didactical strain of stand-up comedy which has become a lot more common of late, where the whole point is that the comedian is supposed to be expounding…

This was the first I heard about the Hassan Minhaj kerfuffle, which was disappointing.

I don’t think it should be a career killer — Louis C.K. has proved the bar is a lot, lot higher for that — but it makes sense that it’s going to be disqualifying for hosting the Daily Show, at least this time around.

I know I digress, but Wolfenstein 3D wasn’t even the first FPS made by ID.
They made Catacomb 3-D a year prior.

My spacebar thumb remembers Wolf 3D and endless scrolling along walls as I pressed it over and over to look for secret doors.
