Was looking for this comment. Touch screens are the goddamn worst and everyone who defends them doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Friendly reminder that if you bet on the police version of events being a lie, you will win that bet 100% of the time.

That’s an NA 944 from 1985? Did they replace the front end with the S2/Turbo version?

This makes her seem even more insufferable than I already thought she was.

This seems strange to me because I thought a lot of the strike wasn’t directly about money, it was about the studios doing things like scanning an actor and owning their likeness in perpetuity for a $200 fee. Not sure how lifting a cap on union dues would stop the studios from doing stuff like that.

So this will get buried in all the replies but I just wanted to say his BS in Physics has largely been revealed as bought and paid for by his VC friends, it’s unlikely that degree is even as valid as it seems.

Re: the Billie Eilish back tattoo...what...is it?

I actually like it at its current length. There are certain movies that it’s jut fun to get lost in, especially period pieces that go out of their way to create a lost sort of world and atmosphere.

I remember seeing James Holzhauer for the first time and thinking “He looks like one of my college roommates, also named Holzhauer, who was also from Naperville, IL...”

They both seem to be behaving exceedingly normally for two adults in a relationship. It’s BORING. Man leaves house of his girlfriend. Woman leaves house of her boyfriend. SHOCKING. Man and woman in relationship both attend party, periodically checking on each other. SCANDAL.

I mean, if they tried to emulate her own written “voice” it would be completely unreadable. I’ve tried parsing out her Instagram post captions, and “meandering” doesn’t even begin to describe them. 

Absolutely, regarding the “lived in” feel. They all seem like they belong, and Diaz and (to a lesser extent) DiCaprio do seem sort of out of place. Liam Neeson definitely elevates the proceedings, even if for only a couple scenes. Gleeson and the others definitely feel “of the world” especially Reilly, which is a…

It’s definitely a Day-Lewis tour de force, although I also really like the supporting cast - Brendan Gleeson, John C. Reilly, Stephen Graham, and I always like seeing Henry Thomas show up in things.

The fact that it’s a charter school might play into some of the weirdness. The right wing loves to tout “school choice” and charter schools as a “better” alternative to public schools, but a lot of them are just fly-by-night operations with little oversight.

I like Gangs of New York a lot. I think it always gets a bad rap. But even at 3 hours, it’s good to rewatch every now and then.

Definitely good to see Loki doing Loki stuff. When he’s in the TVA he has to rely on being a trickster but it’s fun to check back in to remember that he’s actually really powerful in a non-TVA setting.

I dunno I think the show has been leading up to Cate’s betrayal for a while.

Yeah, I know a lot of the response is “Well, it FEELS real enough, and definitely reflects a lot of women’s experiences!” But it’s still very shitty that this person took the real experiences of two people and then just shoehorned in the shitty parts. You’d think you’d be able to craft a convincing narrative that…

The studio heads want to eliminate paying anyone but executives so hard. They’re just waiting until the day they can pivot everything to AI. Sure, it’ll be dogshit, but think of the savings!

It was a little jarring how the episode just drops us in the middle of the hunt for X5 despite not really explaining how all the characters got to that stage.
