The problem with his approach is that he’s in danger of being overtaken by comparable physical specimens like Bautista and Momoa who are willing to do more interesting things with their personas (well, Bautista at least).  If he’s going to coast on “hey, another goofy Rock movie!” audience enthusiasm then eventually…

Personally I don’t care if he works with Christopher Nolan or Spielberg or whoever else you can name. The issue for me is that he will never not be The Rock. I don’t know how you can make movies with any kind of variance in the characters you play when you look like he does. And hey, if that’s what he’s going for,…

Am I the only one who thinks that $384 isn’t that much money for two millionaires to spend on an elaborate sex toy? Is this an ongoing joke I’m missing? I’ve spent $150+ on sex toys that aren’t entire pieces of furniture, and I’m pretty broke.

North Dakota white, thank you very much. Lots of Somali/Hmong/etc. immigrants living in the Twin Cities metro.

Friends is loved around the world, but it’s crystal clear Friends wasn’t created for viewers around the world

Watching the occasional rerun I’m really struck by how horribly all of them treat Janice, a woman who is almost unfailingly nice to them. So she’s a little clingy and has an annoying laugh. Clearly she deserves to be mocked endlessly.

I think Rachel/Ross is so deeply defining pop culture relationship of that era as it was deeply problemtic and unhealthy, yet for some reason those traits were presented as meant-to-be and romantic. It honestly shocking to realize how utterly horrible the portrayl of good relationships was a couple of decades ago.

I know at least a dozen people who worked on Thrones and it’s always been a super tough shoot every season. Filming days run 12 to 14 hours for months in end and because our weather is shite, you’re frequently outdoors in the rain in freezing temperature. The last season was worse because it was largely night shoots…

Yeah, I can’t help but get the impression that David and Dan rubbed a lot of creative talent the wrong way. Martin seems to have distanced himself from them, and doesn’t seem to have had much, if any, input after Season 4. And you’ve also got actors, even actors that they supposedly adored like Lena Headey, saying…

At first I was like, and then I was like.

Star for both hilarity and deadpan delivery.

Hate to say it, but D&D made the right decision and maintained a holistic vision for the show’s ending. Excellent direction would have been jarring alongside piddle-poor writing.

It is my hope that these 3 will receive a version of street justice in the coming months.

A voice of Winnie the Pooh. Not the voice. If anyone gets the honor of the definite article, it’s Sterling Holloway.

See now this is the sort of research video games can excel at helping with that has for a long time been ignored. I’m glad someone is finally looking at it as a viable method of research.

The fact that they are commonly used as pajamas does not make them by definition pajamas. Again, this is a matter of perception and interpretation. Lots of people eat cold pizza for breakfast, but cold pizza does not therefore become breakfast regardless of the circumstances under which it is eaten.

But a t-shirt and sweatpants are not anywhere near universally regarded as “pajamas.” Those are just, y’know, clothes.

Yes, it’s absurd to ask that any purely cultural standard (pajamas are in the eye of the beholder) with no significance to health and safety be enforced by an official body.

Pajamas originated as everyday wear in India, and were adopted by the British as casual wear during the Raj. It was only later that they came to be used primarily as sleepwear. If there’s something about a specific form of clothing that makes it unsuitable for wearing in public (too revealing/sheer, maybe) I can see a…

Exactly. It’s extremely fucking classist. Some parents might not give a shit but imagine being one that can’t afford business casual or whatever the fuck else the school tries to enforce. Parents have enough to worry about when it comes to their kids being bullied and ostracised and judged superficially without being…
