Considering the abortion that was Revolution, which apparently ripped off S.M. Stirling’s Emberverse idea, I’m sure this rip-off of The Expanse will suck just as much.

Abrams CAN do good stuff, but, as the most recent Star Trek movie AND Revolution shows, he can also produce expensive CRAP.

I’d suspect if the note threatened the people in the bank, that barrier would not matter to what you were supposed to do.

The reason really comes down to, “the bank is insured, and the liability issues are too great. Especially in our overly litigious society. Give ‘em the money and do exactly what they tell you as…

Sexist.

(yes yes IZ JOKE)

LOLZ. I saw what you did there.

How is he a roommate? The kid is in high school and still lives with his Aunt May, remember? He’s probably dropped by and gone into the room looking for Peter (As far as May knew, he was in there) and had him (Peter) climb in from outside not realizing he was there. Hence his shock at seeing him climbing into the room…

Brute-force bank robbing is for manly men.

Women tend to do it more sneaky like...

It’s in keeping with Tony’s habit of being sentimental then embarrassed by it, and covering it up with snark.

I think it’s clear he likes the kid — hell, he’s adventured with him and I’ve only seen him in 20 mins or so of films and I like him... :-D

The FF are pretty popular chars.

EGG ZACTLEEE.

It’s called a shared universe. So far, only the old parts have been “shared”.

Probably because they don’t want any early reveals on the new stuff.

So.... all the stuff is (GASP GASP GASP!!) set in the past.

Whoodathunkit?

The fact that there isn’t far more usage of the SW universe to tell stories shows how limited the IP owners’ minds are. This is the main problem with existing IP law. It stops people from using their minds, because before you can do so, you need to get the imprimatur of some boneheaded idiot in legal.

Every generation also imagines it is the only generation that can save the world from some advancing horror. Usually, the only horror is entirely in their heads. These are the students of the same idiots that brought us The Population Bomb. They are just as correct as those fools.

>>> The causality has been proven about as well as it can be.

By people with a political agenda, by paid shills for the Green industry.

Witness David Suzuki attempting to claim “Economics is bunk”, while demonstrating he’s even more clueless about economics than he is about actual climate (as opposed to climate models…

Yes, all the idiots who believe in it will die 20 years early of stress cancers derived from fretting about something that was always as big a load of crap as The Population Bomb.

Yeah, where was your interest in freaking e-mails 3 months ago you partisan twit?

IO9 needs to stay clear of politics. You’re dominated by liberal idiots, and enough techies are not liberal idiots that you risk chasing too much of your audience away.

WHERE WAS YOUR INTEREST IN **HILLARY’S** EMAILS, FOLKS?

>>> “The Trending Topics episode paralyzed Facebook’s willingness to make any serious changes to its products that might compromise the perception of its objectivity.”

No one not on the far left thinks FB is anything resembling “objective”.

Their willingness to shut down sales of legal objects which offend only The…

Depends on the nature of the media. In the UK, the bias is obvious, known, and understood by the reader.

In the USA, there is the ARGUMENT towards an unbiased viewpoint, where they report the data, and let people decide for themselves how to interpret it (outside of Editorial pages).

Most people are unaware that the…

>>> Honestly, Hollywood is NOT the worst at this. They’re among the best.

Props. It’s America-bashing. Go show me all the white people, the Chinese, the Arabs, the Swedes in Bollywood films. Show me those people in Hong Kong action flicks (that aren’t made by American companies).
