In general, I agree with those sentiments. PSA part of Stellantis did an impressive job creating a BEV version of almost all of their cars. But: these are not Tesla, or even VW ID.4, or Mach-e killers. Front-wheel drive, not so impressive range, cheap inside. They’re basically a 15k euro cars with a 15k euro worth of…

Or: they just answered journos’ questions honestly, naively, and with good intentions. I’m sure the questions were a little bit more specific than just “tell me about your friendship with him”.

“Avatar” was a lot of bad things (I could argue that even the CGI wasn’t that good), but how they transferred Zoe Saldana’s expressions, mimics, character to that computer generated creature - that was and still is impressive.

Gosh, CGI in this is just terrible. Well, not that this is a surprise, since Banner-Hulk wasn’t convincing in that last Avengers movie as well, and that had a cinema blockbuster budget, but... Well, I’d have guessed that they’ve made some advancements in three years since then. This looks like things went in opposite…

The first one, from something like 15 years ago. The newer one is something entirely different.

They actually made a “Prey” (a game where Native American fights hi-tech aliens) movie without owning the IP. Actually, I’d bet they had to pay something to somebody. I can’t believe they wouldn’t. The similarities, and a risk of a costly lawsuit are just too glaring. For gods sake, the title is exactly the same.

Isn’t it odd that it’s called exactly like the computer game in which protagonist, an Indigenous American, fights killer aliens?

I always thought that Cruise would be perfect as a Cyclops from X-Men.

What I’m afraid of is that all of this resources scarcity is a forecast of wars, coups, election interferences, and so on. Australia will side with US and Europe, but Chile?

The problem is: Chinese companies control a lot of the Australian, and Chilean lithium companies. In fact, a company called Tianqi controls almost 50% of global production of lithium.

OK, I got that wrong. I thought I saw him dropping places when Leclerc was crossing the finish line, but indeed he went to the pitlane a lap before. As you have said: the rules probably require at least one full lap on the second compound.

Regarding the pitlane/finish line placement: Albert Park is one of three or four…

Am I the only one who doesn’t care for Leclerc? He’s probably a nice fella, and he’s definitely a hella great driver - but he sports that corporate poster boy image too perfectly. I almost want him to do something stupid/not nice - just to prove there’s a human being in that helmet.

Worth noting: what Albon did was possible because in Melbourne the garages are placed before the finish line. That’s why he was able to go to the pit lane on the last corner of the race. Had he had to change the tires on the penultimate lap and emerge from the pits he would drop below a few more cars.

Did Hamilton asked for a swap? I think he was ordered to hold position when he was closing in on Russell. Immediately after his “whining” he clearly backed off. 

Here’s an idea: let him keep the win and the statute, and not bother with naming another winner in his place, but: prohibit him from being introduced in trailers and on posters as “Academy Award Winner”, or even “Academy Award Nominee”. An “Asa Butterfield in Ender’s Game trailer” moment for Smith would be a lovely…

I was raised up watching “Crime Story” and “Miami Vice” (the series), and I only given up on Michael Mann after “Blackhat”. Should do that after “Insider”, really. Maybe after “Collateral”. Ok, “Miami Vice The Movie” was watchable - but all the signs of declining quality were there...

Vedder’s point wasn’t really “Motley Crue sucked because their songs were terrible”, though. It was about how grunge changed the way the women were treated, compared to the hair metal era. Here’s what he said later in the same answer: “But I’m circling back to say that one thing that I appreciated was that in…

Holy shit, that’s a huge one!

I’m pretty sure the previous versions of iX also sported the gold (or is it copper?) adornment.
