The irony here is that in the film, there ARE no Indian dancers outside of Ram and Ahktar: The whole point of the scene and indeed some of the lyrics is that they were getting kicked out of a white guy’s party and threw down via dance (they’re also there to try and find a kidnapped girl that’s being held there, and…

The only thing to like about Akechi is Robbie Daymond once again blowing out his voicebox- that guy goes whole hog into insane/ menacing in every role and I am HERE for it.

I mean, the first Iron Man film is 15 years old and the most recent is a decade old, so not really? Pepper Potts was in Endgame, true, but barely.

Strikers is actually really cool, gameplay wise. The visual style and music are still there, the cooking mechanic still exists to give different buffs and the story, while not revolutionary, is memorable. It’s different from a lot of Warriors-style games in that it’s more similar to dungeon/ palace progression from…

That’s a non-issue with proper programming, though. Part of dynamic experiences is to process map UX and CX. Depending on from whom you’re ordering, the app generates custom fields, in the same way your Dominos app is generating LTOs and wait time for pickup depending on store location. It's laborious from a…

And the MANY women in their 50s that I work with look NOWHERE as youthful or healthy as Paltrow, so there’s your counter anecdata.

Edited because wrong story! Whoops!

I THINK it may be on Prime- granted, it’s also one of the few films that I still have both digitally and on DVD.

To be fair, Prizzi’s Honor was the rare great dark comedy and Angelica Houston killed it; I’m much more upset that Whoppi didn’t win that year.

Seconded. Not cross country, but I chose to take a sleeping cabin on a trip from MA to MN (didn't get the sleeping cabin until changing trains in NYC), and it, coupled with the viewer cars, was a really interesting way to travel comfortably and see the country. And yes, having plentiful booze access was definitely a…

Or maybe the adults that understand critical reasoning, humanities and their applications in media know that a story can be primarily character driven, especially if said story is based on a shooter game where you go from Point A to Point B. If you want ‘splosions, Transformers and the MCU are right there, bud.

Meh, I agree.

In ye olden times, probably Romney. The ACA was partially modeled after “Romneycare” and he was prochoice as a MA governor. Granted, the Romney of 2008 is not the Romney of 2023. Once he only had the Utah LDS for a power base he changed his tune.

I manage a CCM team, and the value we’ve started to find in AI for generating copy and generic documents has DRASTICALLY reduced time to production- and we work in an industry that is infamously beaurocratic where it used to take ten people debating over content for weeks before something was finalized.

The musical also has that horrible tendency to “correct” elements of the original narrative that the externally online have now deemed “problematic.” Janice wasn’t a lesbian in the film- let’s make her one for the musical! Wow, the lunchroom diagram was eerily accurate as to how students self segregate in schools-…

Exactly. What's even more notable in regards to the bad faith critique of the original film is that Eric ONLY knows Ariel by her voice. It's the primary driver for him to the point that any woman that shows up with Ariel's voice gets the place in his heart. He falls for Ariel DESPITE her silence, not because of it.

The issue with Rowling is less her own views (which contain more nuance and compassion that folks give her credit for) and more the OTHER, far more openly hostile voices she amplifies. She may not be hate-filled, but some of the individuals she retweets, appears with and paraphrases in her screeds absolutely are. It’s…

What’s so terrible about the original film, other than the sad, 2000's bad-faith, “Jezebel Feminism” critiques? The film is well paced, well written, well performed and well animated- there’s a reason it nearly single-handedly revitalized Disney animation.

Why is it that whenever someone dedicates a lengthy screed to say “I’m not victim blaming, it’s just reality” they preempt their comments not about how men and women are exploring their sexuality, but only how women are and that those women are responsible for their “unsafe situations?” What about those young men that…
