I saw a movie in theaters for the first time in a couple years recently, and one of the ads for the theater during previews was a bunch of people filing into the theater, all quoting various movie quotables. It was really cringey and obnoxious.

I think most of the directors who I would put in this category, where I loved their early work and grew to intensely dislike their later output, like Ridley Scott and John Carpenter, showed cracks in their armor long before Cameron. Avatar was still a well directed actioner, and while he definitely has a flair with…

I’m being pedantic, but it’s Lake Eola, not Eola Lake.

Cody appeared in Revenge of the Sith, not Attack of the Clones. He tried to murder Obi-Wan during Order 66.

Yeah, I suppose it could be worse. But it is hard to think of what could be worse than dozens of kids getting murdered while armed police officers stand a few feet away doing nothing for over an hour. 

“Yes, they very much are. I don’t care if its a government, or a company; they both can abuse my data.” Never said they couldn’t, only that they are abusing it in different ways. One is trying to sell you things, the other is...who knows?

Ahh you got me.

Once again, Uvalde would be a great experiment for defunding the police and seeing how that goes.

There are several documented incidents of orcas bumping, swamping, or otherwise “attacking” boats (some of which have sunk as a result), but there appears to be only one documented incident from the 1970s where a human was directly attacked and injured by a wild orca.

You’re going to have to resurrect more than Harris’s career. 

We do have a common name for bison, it’s buffalo. Although that causes confusion with other animals called buffalo, so we often use the name bison.

Definitely, but it opens the floodgates to fans thinking they are right about everything and can pressure these changes every time.

“They’re both close enough as to be no difference”. No, they are not.

Says the person whining that I responded to their precious comment thread.

Happy to waste your time, any time, you absolute uptight fucking weirdo.

Hey not only is the subject of this article making me stupider, but reading it was nearly impossible because it seems like several words and sentence pieces are missing.

As someone who works for a company that makes a product that has “fans”, I can say that listening to fans opinions, especially lately, never yields positive results.

The article mentions veterens saying his work wasn’t polished enough, and press calling him a novelty act, which is in the same vein, but I’m talking specifically about publicly (outside of the industry) being labeled a “slacker rock” guy who doesn’t care about the music, which (according to Beck) was not who he was,…

They did it by voting SMARTER. They’ve barely won a popular vote presidential election in three decades. But when they DO get people in office, those people GO TO WORK. That’s the difference.

The Republicans did not get Roe V Wade overturned by “voting harder”. They got it overturned through 50 years of dedicated action, making voting more difficult for their opponents, stacking judgeships on every level (up to the Supreme Court), obstructing opponents and flouting any congressional norms.
