The industry people who think audiences will still show up for romance, drama, and (most) comedies in movie theaters are insane. Insane. Those are the use-case for home theaters, always have been, always will be. You can’t put that genie back in the bottle.

You CAN lean into what audiences want and make some of this…

I think he’s trying to drive a wedge between Aegon and Alicent. It wasn’t about the actual result of it - it was about making Aegon think that Aemond and Alicent wanted him out of the way, which I read as the reason for Aegon’s later humiliation of Aemond.

I own a large game store in Western PA and I can safely say that this will be the best starter product they will have ever produced. 

I’ll add, amnesia plots are invariably ridiculous and terrible. Spider-Man 2 set up a potentially compelling conflict between Peter and Harry, but then used the most contrived plot device possible to sideline it for half the movie. I remember just how disappointed 17yo me was in the theatre when I realized.

Nearly…

The main problem is that Raimi didn’t even want to include Venom in the movie, but Sony did.  

in hindsight the dancing is the best part of that movie.

She starts puberty and one of the emotions isn’t horniness?

Turning Red

“Elemental" was pretty good too and came out just last year.

I feel like people forget how recent Luca and Turning Red are when talking about Pixar, they obviously got Fuuuuucked by the D+ release but I keep hearing “Pixar has sucked for years!” and then, when reminded of the D+ ones, respond “Oh yeah, those were pretty good actually.”

Or a kid who doesn't have any imagination because they've had too much screen time. Basically telling the story of one of those Axiom babies learning about the real world

Luca rules fight me.

Another fundamental issue for me is their style is stale. At its core, every Pixar film has the same feel. The same movement of the characters. The same kind of mic drop humor where a character freezes and something plops to the ground. They can conjure anything they want, and they just repeat the same kinds of…

Every other movie being a sequel is pretty par for the course for Pixar of the past 15 years. Their 2001-2009 run of uniformly worthwhile original films is an extraordinary outlier in the history of all movie studios. I don’t love it, but if they have to crank out a Monsters University so they can roll the dice on…

Having already claimed number one seeds like Josh O’Connor, Cailee Spaeny, and Andrew Scott...

Wasn’t a fan of the flash forwards in the final episode (perhaps because I never watched TBBT) but the penultimate funeral episode was pitch perfect.

Yet another article that says CBS cancelled the show, when the head writers have repeatedly stated that they felt the show reached its conclusion. So weird to be so intent on stirring controversy where there is none. 

Please forgive my ignorance of electronics but couldn’t they have just used heavier gauge cables and components rated for higher loads? What makes EV charging different from other high voltage applications? 

well I guess the important thing is to promote the interview by linking to it and making claims to be concerned for this woman's mental health

M:TG was a neat little fantasy trading card game that has become too big for its britches and is turning into the Fortnite of TCGs. I hate it.
