You’re too stupid to have an opinion, be quiet.

Fundamentally, Khan didn’t work because Khan doesn’t mean anything to the cast. Wrath of Khan’s entire premise is based on the previous encounter, here we have no previous encounter.

No, Into Darkness’s biggest mistake was the misdirection about Khan’s identity. Everyone knew who Cumberbatch was playing long before the movie came out, but they insisted on the stupid misdirect that wasn’t really a misdirect. You want to make a movie about Khan, just say you’re making a movie about Khan.

“Are we all that surprised that the first Cybertruck owner on Nantucket used the pullout method?”

There once was a man from Nantucket

Expensive bottle opener...

I’m normally on the ACAB side, but I’m really struggling to be displeased with what the cop did here.

I thought the problem was pointing a camera at non-consenting faces all the time.

I can’t imagine how anyone would want to work at Tesla after this. I wonder if Musk will take a page from his Twitter playbook and try to hire as many immigrant workers on visas as he can, since they’ll have to do what he says under threat of losing their work visa status.

Yeah, this whole thing is pretty lazily considered. And did Google Glass actually have bad reviews? Or just bad public opinion? I could be remembering wrong, but I thought that most people that tried it liked it, and the main issue was that it was a little ahead of its time in terms of having a camera mounted to…

This is quite an interesting list. Having SOME negative reviews is not at all the same as “got wrecked by first reviews” as the title says. Things like the Wii-U and Message Pad WERE “wrecked” by reviews, but the iPhone received mostly positive/glowing reviews, and the same for the Steam Deck. Hell, the article even…

WTF is this article doing on Jalop? Bad editorial choice.

FAFO. Pretty much sums it all up.

I got where you were coming from until you called the first Avenger movie an incredible slog you could not get trough in one sitting. That one boggles my mind.

Yeah, as much as I think “superhero fatigue” is overblown ballooey, blaming “collective ADHD” of kids these days is even worse nonsense. Kids today are perfectly able to sit through a movie. So are people with ADHD, by the way, if the movie is good enough.

I know Dubai is elsewhere. But they built that city to appeal to the elite of the region and the affluent tourism of the rest of the world, not the general populace. And they did so by hiding the literal slave labor that made it possible.

Saudi Arabia is trying to copy the idea while turning it up to 11 by appealing to…

The idea of a sovereign citizen living in and HOA neighborhood is just so hilariously ironic to me. 

Maybe this is something that’s already being done, but why isn’t all our produce washed before it gets to the consumer? I mean, I’d still rinse everything since who knows how many people have touched that potato while it’s just sitting in that bin at the store. But giving everything a nice rinse seems like a pretty…

You really need a reason to drop $3500 on a niche product with very few use cases right now. I don’t think Apple (or any headset maker) has presented very many compelling reasons.
