Sometimes, depending on the timing of things and the chain in question, the employees might give you a break if you make a mistake in the app. Once I went to pick up a drink from Starbucks only to find out I’d sent my order to another location altogether — and while the ‘correct’ one wasn’t too far out of my way, this…

While not specifically that, I’ve had snafus where I went to cook two parts of a dish simultaneously, only to discover too late that I needed to finish one first and add part of it to the second, and yeah.

If they were clever enough to pre-plan this, then they would have been clever enough to get someone even tangentially connected to the Bond films to introduce the tribute. The only way staging this makes sense is if someone looked at the plans for the show, saw it was crap, and decided that convincing Will Smith to…

A lot of anecdotal evidence suggests it’s not even about viewership, it’s about getting more subscribers. Netflix doesn’t care if 80% of their customers watch a thing, if that 80% represents the same number of people it did two weeks ago.

It needs to bring in more new subscribers than are physically possible, due to the fact that pretty much everyone who might ever want a Netflix account already has one.

(At this point, it’s worth noting that Moon Knight is generally referred to as having dissociative identity disorder, a very real condition that a violent superhero story may not be the most well-equipped to handle with grace and sensitivity. If Disney wants to suggest that Moon Knight has dissociative identity…

Mr. Knight is weird. I’m admittedly slightly behind on the comics so maybe they’ve changed this, but I know in the arc where he first appeared that persona wasn’t a separate identity but an alternate costume Marc/Moon Knight wore when interacting with the cops. This is because, to quote the first issue of that run,…

Apparently the accent is entirely Oscar Issac’s creation.

I’m actually leaning a little towards Violent J in this one, partially because that while I do think he’s had a good time doing so, he’s spent time, money, and energy getting involved in something that’s not normally his scene, whereas Jamie Lee would probably be doing this anyways.

I can definitely see the argument for Sonic, since it’s also considerably more widespread than White Castle location-wise.

The nearest White Castle to me is a 3-hour drive, so forgive me if you get the sudden sensation someone is shaking their fist angrily in your direction.

I’ve always suspected that if not for that outburst, his career probably would have quietly languished in near-obscurity.

I think it only counts as multiverse masturbation if they’re much more clearly multiple versions of the same Peter Parker (in other words, played by the same actor), as opposed to alternate Peters Parker.

Beautifully put.

I can absolutely see Kevin Kline, especially back then, playing a Star Trek-style starship captain (or an actor who’s made a career out of playing one) and doing pretty well at it. But I just can’t see him carrying that faux-Shatner energy. There are certainly other actors who could do that (Bruce Campbell could make…

Yeah, I think we can collectively let her have, like, one actual flaw, especially one that’s probably going to have a limited shelf life.

Maybe it’s because I’m an Old, but I’d personally question any restaurant review where the food was provided for free. Because for me, it’s not just a matter of “is it good,” but also “is it worth what they’re charging.” I’ll pay $20 for a burger if it really is that much better than a $10 burger. I really don’t think…

It doesn’t. I managed to find some of these in a store and gave it a try over the weekend. While I didn’t hate it, the above review of “flat soda, but intentional” is pretty accurate.

My fatigued brain initially read that as “family friendly clown” and for a moment I was very confused.

Unlike the official review, though, this one talks about why the movie is good. It talks about the metaphors and issues the movie uses and tackles, respectively. It’s not just “Asian cast good” over and over. I feel like a deeper examination of the subject of Asian representation in film should be its own thing…
