So hear me out. Marvel needs a big screen villain now that Jonathan Majors is out... and I’m sorry, general moviegoing audiences aren’t going to bite on someone named Doctor Doom. D’Onfrio has gravitas and the character is fairly well established (I actually know way more people who casually watched Daredevil on…

Why is it genre “fandom” tends to cause its members to behave like absolute dregs?

Regardless of who or what is at fault, consumers will view this as just more confirmation of any inherent bias they have. And honestly... they’re not going to be totally off base. If the cars being built are essentially incompatible with public charging infrastructure, it doesn’t matter who is at fault. It just…

A Kerouac burger MUST be a one-handed operation, and in that regard the old school QPC is the gold standard. It’s been that way since I’ve driven road trips requiring a no-sit-down food break.

It still bewilders me a bit that in the year of our lord 2023 people still order fast food for delivery, and pay colossal surcharges for it. I know we’re addicted to sugar, fat and salt, but can’t folks just like... get some peanut butter and jelly or canned tuna to keep around for quick convenience meals?

I think it is, actually. I usually buy games from Target or FB marketplace, but this deal was wild and I couldn’t turn it down.

Ha, nope. There is a security service for the entire strip mall it’s in. They ride around on 3-wheeled Segways and block up traffic for fun.

I can still remember many Christmases ago trying to buy No Man’s Sky for PS4. A used copy was $50. A brand new copy online was $12, though? Weird. So instead of ordering it I saw it was in inventory literally down the street. I hopped int he car, pulled up, went inside, grabbed the one and only new copy, went to the…

There is literally no reason to advertise gas prices using 9/10th of a cent, and especially not 99/100 like some stations now do. So it’s $3.10 & 99/100... that’s $3.11. Just effing say $3.11 per gallon. Jesus.

It’s not hard. Audiences are bored with seeing the samw movie over and over again. We know how these movies will go. Lots of CGI punching and energy blasts, some quips, green screen sets, boring villains who want the same old boring villain things, reluctant heroes who either are weary of the responsibility of being a…

What kills me is declaring the accident the result of too much confidence and too little skill. No, buddy. The accident was the result of you being a borderline sociopath with a license and a rocketship between your legs. He should never be allowed on a motorcycle again. 

Sooo... delivery of the Alfa Tonale to showrooms didn’t even begin until the middle of July, which was three months ago if I did the math right.

One of the only times I’ll swear in front of my kids is when some jackwagon in front of me is merging into 70 MPH traffic at half the posted speed. Freaking kamikazes. 

People who force their way into a merge by crossing solid white lines or even crossing over the runoff to merge sooner and then cut off those who waited until it was safe and clear. Fuck those people right into the sun.

Reminded of the time I was at an onsen in northern Japan. I stepped off an elevator and sitting there on the floor was a perfectly formed turd, pretty as you please. I sort of did that swivel-headed thing when you walk around the offending obstruction while never taking your eyes off it, got a beer from the vending…

So... something most people thought was a good idea at first, but a coordinated campaign of mis- and disinformation to hinder and discredit the product for purely political reasons created an ideological dividing line across the nation with no room for rational, constructive discourse?

Pale-faces in comparison to The Avengers. 

Sure, the business. But if you know the history of Star Wars, it was more of an actual arthouse indie than most of the modern arthouse indies. The studio hated it and wanted to kill it at every opportunity, and it was only because of Lucas’ tenacity and the frankly insane artistry of the people he hired, as well as…

Blaming the state of cinema on Geoege Lucas and Star Wars is historically ignorant, as if that movie’s fate as as the executioner of arthouse cinema was baked into the movie.

Your vehicle is not the Queen Mary. You do not need to begin braking for your turn 1/4 mile early, nor do you need to come to a complete stop in a busy roadway in order to make that turn. Even the average colossal SUV or pickup can begin braking for a turn at a reasonable distance and with reasonable force, and carry…
