OK, but The Martian never advocated that potatoes should be a crop of choice for our first space farm. In the book it became so because that was what Watney had on hand. They weren’t intending to be there long enough to plant a crop.

It really just takes all the features from Windows 10 Immobile and packages them in a more user-friendly interface.

Does it include a fingerprint reader?

You don’t understand, Apple has engineered it so it doesn’t need RAM. If you’re obsessed with specs, you’ll just have to wait until Android Mound is released in a few months.

I must have one.

If they have any hope of surviving long-term, they have to emulate POI in that regard. Otherwise there’s no need for this show.

Doesn’t have to be just a CTE thing. Can be wider than that, a “football is hell on the human body” thing.

Here’s a re-enactment of our original interaction, using slightly different nouns and verbs:

Supernatural, which is not exactly a subtle show, has done far more with the character of Lucifer, and in far less screen time. This show doesn’t seem to be interested in the real repercussions of an eons-old superbeing who decides to hang out with some mortals. There should a much more alien vibe, rather than just an…

The writers, producers and cast clearly don’t care about the procedural stuff. Smacks of network interference.

Oftentimes if the waitstaff advises you to avoid something, they’re not necessarily saying it’s bad everywhere, they’re probably saying that their cook is bad at making it. I once had a waitress say to me, “I’d advise against ordering that, we’re thinking of taking it off the menu.” That waitress received an excellent…

And yet, “nuke-yoo-ler.” Am I supposed to remove syllables or insert extra ones?

Yurp. Gotta spell it the ’Merican way.

You are correct. And people forget, but back when the original Iron Man came out, he was not a well-known character outside of genre fans. I had to convince my wife to go see it because she had no idea who he was.

Reading comprehension ... I’m arguing IN FAVOR of Deadpool, not against it.

If you go back and re-read my original comment, Braniac, you’ll see that I was arguing in favor of Deadpool’s success. But apparently you’re confused by compound sentences.

Well when you remove my words from the context in which I use them, it does sound foolish. Fortunately, I didn’t say what you’re accusing me of saying.

I agree there, and I think that’s exactly what Bricken fears. Bad Deadpool knockoffs have the potential to be even worse than the bad superhero films we currently get.

I wasn’t considering Guardians, no. In terms of the biggest blockbusters of 2015, I’m thinking Star Wars, Avengers II and Jurassic World. But fortunately for the studio, they weren’t trying to compete in that space with Deadpool anyway.

I’m sure any Chinese citizen with an Internet connection is already watching Deadpool on a high-res bootleg anyway.
