This was a really solid season overall and it ended up with a well deserving winner. Despite being an “all star” season, Melissa essentially dominated. If you watched WWHL after the show, Tom said he believes Melissa has the most raw talent of any chef the show has ever had, including Paul Qui. He also made it seem…

Practical as opposed to digital. They’re both special effects.

Somehow, fucking “You” is on the list, but Babylon Berlin isn’t.  

This article is incredibly melodramatic per the situation. Hudson has a below 1.00 era in 26 innings since joining the Nats - I’d say he can be counted on. And you neglect to even mention Patrick Corbin, who has been one of the ten best starters in the NL pretty much all year. Not to mention Anibal Sanchez who has…

Hard disagree on Scherzer and Strasburg being the only two guys to fall into “best guys”category considering Corbin is one of the best left handers in the league...

I’m trying to figure out how exactly a five month old appears high. They’ve just learned to smile, maybe they are buzzing their lips a bit and trying to figure out how to crawl. Maybe they would be a bit hungrier? I don’t know if you could detect a baby lacking ambition.

Nobody is claiming that Mary Jane wasn’t a significant or recognizable role for her, they’re annoyed that she was rendered nameless as “Spider-Man’s girlfriend.” If the tweet had said, “...best known for playing Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man films,” this wouldn’t be a story.

It’s not manufactured outrage if her fans were genuinely pissed off. That’s the exact opposite of manufactured. Dunst has been a professional actress for 31 years and her career deserved more respect than being reduced to that time she played notable douchebag Tobey Macguire’s significant other.

Make the head football coach responsible for their losses, he’s more likely to get promoted from his assistant position to take his place. Make the boys bball team have a worse record than they would otherwise, his girls team will look better by comparison, and he might get named boys head coach.

See? Two discernible…

Counterpoint: this guy might be an idiot and a troll.

Heh oops. I didn’t realize that about 1987. As for why I didn’t pick 2019, it’s because these dumbshits have been whining about this shit for more than a year, and also because I wanted to compare a full season, where I thought I’d be getting a better comparison. Of course, that plan all goes to shit if 87 was such an…

Two things:

- 1987 wasn’t some “random year.” It was famously the “rabbit ball” year where all sorts of previously light-weight hitters started jacking home runs at notably higher rates than before.

If you pick 1988 (0.76), 1986 (0.91), 1989 (0.73) or 1985 (0.86) etc, you’ll see what an outlier, pre-steroids, 1987 was.

I hate to align myself even slightly with the Old Men Yelling At Clouds, but I also do not find the Three True Outcome Era to be a particularly enthralling version of the game.

They have separate AL and NL MVPs, so Yelich/Bellinger won’t affect Trout, who barrng injury is a lock to get AL MVP.

Another infuriating, stark reminder that abusers don’t fit any specific profile, they’re everywhere. Apologies for apparently being one of the few commenters who don't find this funny.

Came to see if Gattaca got a mention.

If you’re going for minimal special effects, I’d add Gattaca to that list. A lot of what Andrew Niccol achieves in that film is via clever photography, lighting and even close-ups. And, well, he made Uma Thurman utterly goddess-like at one point...

IIRC Gattaca employed minimal special effects, relying more on interesting (and existing) architecture, lighting, and Michael Nyman’s score.

Safety Not Guaranteed -

The 2012 Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass, and Jake Johnson time travel movie. Wonderfully focused on the meaning of time travel for the would be adventurers and wondering how much of this is real and how much exists in the mind of one weird man.

Cheats a little at the end but totally worth the…
