If people pick 4 “random” words out of their heads without further instruction, the chances that their picks are among the top 2048 most common ones are very high.

To be fair, two of those breaches did (potentially) give an attacker access to your passwords. But then again, those were linked to errors in the browser extensions, not to Lastpass being cloud-based. If you use a local password manager with an extension to auto-fill online, it could have similar bugs.

ex. if you want to use “DieHardWithAVengeance” as your password and your partner’s name begins with A and you met on April 1st, you could have your password be “DieHardA0401WithAVengeance”.

If we’re gonna call out dystopian scifi movies they missed, I think Snowpiercer is a much more glaring omission.

This is the worst read of a film I’ve seen in a long time.

I didn’t think the characters were all that bad, but it felt like a pretty standard low-budget/high-concept sci-fi movie to me. Solidly written and executed, but nothing too special, and the gimmick and how it played out was pretty stale.

I saw Dogtooth in 2009, but otherwise it would easily have been my #1 movie of the decade. Just absolutely stunning. Nothing Lanthimos has done since has quite lived up to that film in my book, but The Lobster is also very good.

Take heart that the parallel is much less direct than “Legion did the same thing” makes it sound.

Do you mean Nate Corddry? I can sort of see that.

By “people” I actually meant characters within the comic. I don’t have the book at hand, but according to the Wikipedia article, I’m thinking of the magazine profile at the end of issue #11, where he’s described as looking more like a man of 30 than one approaching 50.

True, although Smart does look very good for her age.

Also, I’m pretty sure the Mandalorian blacksmith wasn’t Gina Carano. I believe she’s set to play “Cara Dune,” a former Rebel shocktrooper, at least according to Wikipedia.

I hear one of their new Star Wars theme park attractions is a ride where you step into the role of a studio drone reediting the original trilogy for the next upcoming video platform.

Apparently there are now five different versions of the Han/Greedo scene, while six different cuts of Blade Runner have been officially released or exhibited (that includes the workprint included on the Final Cut box set as well as the edited-for-TV version, but not the sneak preview version only exhibited once).

When director George Lucas released his specialized edition of the original trilogy, he edited the scene to make it clear that it was Greedo who fired the first shot. The change settled an ongoing and highly-exhaustive debate

Always down for some Wain.

A good reason to not call it “Foreign Language” is that many languages other than English are spoken in the United States, and English is not the country’s official language, so that it’s not accurate to call these “foreign.” In particular, saying a Spanish-language film is in a “foreign language” is quite iffy.

If he is on Mars, is time different? I don’t totally under[stand] time dilation, I just know its out in space somewhere.

Thanks, nice reference doc! You missed The Crystal World by JG Ballard, though.

the blustery hot-topic monologuing of Network (complete with a comparable “I’m mad as hell” speech for Reese Witherspoon)
