It shows a message from Logan coming in right as he’s in the middle of picking the pic to send to Gerri. So he taps on that, thinking it will take him to the Gerri conversation, and it takes him to a Logan one instead--like a fingers getting ahead of the brain type of situation.

Ahh, this I did not know. 

I think it is a mismatch of artist and material for sure. It’s not that Zhao *couldn’t* do a Marvel film, it’s that maybe it’s not the right leap to go from low budget neo-realist pictures straight to 200 million dollar franchise tentpole. There’s no room for failure when you’ve got that much invested, so of course…

The title of this article and then the content make no sense. “Why won’t Marvel trust directors” and then about how Marvel trusted Zhao to do what she wanted. And she’s said nothing but “they let me do what I wanted and were there to help if I needed it.”

When you say Marvel’s driven to hire directors for “reviews,” that just seems like a more cynical way of saying, “Marvel wants its movies to be good.” 

I read it as they might potentially not swap bulbs and if they don’t then it’s Feige’s fault. It’s a weird paragraph.

I like how Feige gets slammed because cinemas haven’t swapped bulbs

Edgar Wright (who is awesome, and I really liked Last Night in Soho) has basically said that he didn’t give a shit about fitting Ant-Man into the larger MCU story. Which, that sounds nice and all, but you don’t hire a director to direct episode 17 of a TV series if they aren’t going to give a shit about what happened…

Marriage doesn’t really matter imho but children objectively do better in two-parent households than when raised by a single parent.

What do you mean? As a lawyer with a full-time job and live-in girlfriend, I can see that playing video games and watching porn has completely ruined my life and masculinity, and marked me as a failure to everyone around me.

In the book, Jessica is 21 when Paul is born.

But... the actress is 38. Paul is 15. That’s not a teen bride.

False choice: it can be worse and you can still like it more. I love Blade Trinity. But it’s also a very bad movie. 

I haven’t read the tax proposal, but let me ask this. Do they get a refund when the stocks drop?

Proposed by Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, billionaire’s income tax contains special carve-outs specifically for people like Tim Sweeney. While tradable assets like stocks would be taxed when they went up in value, non-tradable assets like, say, equity in a private video game company, would only be taxed when…

“[A]re you guys running out of things to talk about?”

This here is a nice guy.

All correct, but I don’t understand why you’re saying this in opposition to the reviewer who just admitted he had it wrong. You misread his sentence by adding a negative, by any chance?

I love sand. It’s soft and grainy, and it gets everywhere so you keep finding it like a souvenir. 

Also, the dimensions of your continent are important. Is it wider than it is tall or taller than it is wide? Changes in day length can have profound impacts on the ability to spread agricultural advances. (See the chapter about the domestication of grains.)
