Am I missing something? What exactly is the spoiler? That the show is not a completely straightforward adaptation? For a site that usually just unashamedly posts spoilers right in header images, a spoiler tag for something this vague is an odd choice.

There have been stories about the film on the bridges for like, over a week now. They did it way before “race week”.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the fake Grindhouse trailer, but I kinda remember someone fucking a cooked turkey? Did that happen?

It’s honestly fine. The Star Wars universe was never as sacred as people want to believe.

Yeah, the only thing that made sense to me was if some kind of physical sponsorship of a car or something that they couldn’t easily change. Of course the article goes on for several paragraphs but doesn’t actually touch on that at all. They mention “product placement” in general terms, but obviously if it’s just…

Oh, are cars actors now? I didn’t know that.

I like how this article takes the genuine passion and enthusiasm of a darling actor and twists it all into disdain and dismissal of Star Wars. Good job. Keep being snarky assholes.

This article goes on and on and never really details what the sponsorship issue actually is. Oh, they filmed here, then there was a strike, which is over, none of which is relevant to the story.

Right, probably a good idea for Vegas to make people not want to go to Vegas.

Not everyone goes to Vegas for F1. May surprise you to learn it’s actually a well-traveled destination. So you’re obscuring views of the strip several days before the race and ruining peoples’ Vegas experience who have nothing to do with the race.

I think the issue with HBO Max hurting the HBO brand was less that adding “Max” tainted the brand, and more that nobody knew the fucking difference between HBO Go and HBO Max and HBO was really vague about what the distinctions were. Originally if you had an HBO subscription, you ALSO had a streaming on-demand…

I mean, you do you Andre.

Detry Wogerman and Laralynne Naboznyin. Those sure are some names.

I mean, I guess, but what is the actor going to have to say about it? He’s not the director, or the director of cinematography, or the editor, or the effects supervisor, or anyone else who would have a say in the look of the film’s crash scenes.

Since it’s in the script and he acted the scene, gonna say yes.

He’s an actor, what the hell does he know about how the crash scenes are gonna play out? He also famously doesn’t watch his own movies so probably doesn’t have a reaction to seeing the crash scenes for the first time, since he likely hasn’t seen them at all.

You would think the BNSF would also be interested in not dumping its grain all over the place. I assume they consider it an acceptable loss but you’d think a solution that keeps bears from dying AND prevents loss of your precious sellable product would be a win/win.

I think the Cybertruck is probably the first Tesla product that really had to deal with excessive Musk intervention. He basically “the Homer”ed it, drawing his design on a napkin and saying it needed to be EXACTLY that. And made more and more hilariously impractical demands every step of the way.

I mean, the MCU can do whatever they want, but nothing about this specifically makes Kang and his variants a non-threat. The branched timeless of the multiverse exist, they’re just being “stabilized” by Loki.

I enjoyed this, and most of the reactions I’ve seen so far seem to be positive, so naturally we’ll see how Giz shits on it.
