It kind of blows me away it took so long for everyone to remember Batman Returns is a Christmas movie after the Die Hard-is-a-Christmas-movie thing fired up. Heck, I got to introduce it to a younger friend of mine who hadn’t seen it *as* a Christmas movie and now it’s one of her annual favorites.

The movie begins and ends on Christmas and revolves around a Christmas game...

Honestly, his most memorable role for me wasn’t a live-action role, but a voice over one. It was his turn as the elder version of Tim Drake in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

When in doubt - get something interesting and local.  The proliferation of microbreweries and distilleries means just about every area has their own stamp on a type of alcohol.

I like how Feige gets slammed because cinemas haven’t swapped bulbs

Edgar Wright (who is awesome, and I really liked Last Night in Soho) has basically said that he didn’t give a shit about fitting Ant-Man into the larger MCU story. Which, that sounds nice and all, but you don’t hire a director to direct episode 17 of a TV series if they aren’t going to give a shit about what happened…

This is why I’ve never quite jived with that Edgar Wright quote. I think Edgar didn’t want to make an MCU film, which was different than what a Marvel film was at that time. I think Marvel would be perfectly fine with an Edgar Wright film.

seems that the article sums it up well. Big name director for film cred and get their fans and sound fancy. marvel formula for mcu fans.

I think the MCU trusts their directors if they happen to fit in with the house style tonally already. James Gunn and Taika came in being known for fun and irreverent films. So those movies fit in with the directors’ filmographies, but they were also hardly doing anything that Marvel wouldn’t normally do.

I’m in the real Mass. And I avoid those three you listed like the plague.

Boston, Northampton, The Cape, or are you in the real Mass?

To be fair though, that is the job of legislature. If there is a big and unpopular social change needed, then it is legislators who are supposed to see it through and take the heat. That is part of the systems of checks and balances, to make sure that big social changes are needed enough when pushed through. If…

Yeah. I’ve read countless articles about how Ford is selling soooo many Mach-Es that they can’t keep up. But I can tell you, the Ford dealer near me has had the same two Mach-Es on their lot for months. In EV friendly Massachusetts.

Heated seats already existed and they are called pants.

That is why I am going to be dismissing any comments who try to disagree, after this one, especially if they try to claim I don’t have any experience with cold states when I’ve lived in one.

I could take or leave heated seats. But cooled seats, those I want in every car I own going forward. 

Right now customers are buying cars so quickly that dealers cannot keep up with demand, and if they are still struggling to sell slow-to-charge, range-limited, EVs, then it isn’t because the salespeople aren’t up to speed, it is because the demand isn’t there. Trying to get sales people to try hard sales techniques on…

It’s easy: Customers aren’t ready to buy them.

Personally, as someone who has lived both in cold states and warm ones, I’d say heated seats and heated steering wheels. Honestly, there is just no need for them IMO. Also digital controls on a tablet style screen. I’d rather have buttons and dials that I can change by feel instead of sight.

Yeah no shit. Flat out telling a marginalized group that he believes something isn’t offensive while having no overlap with said group isn’t a great look. Its like a white person telling a black person something isn’t racist.  If this was race related instead of gender related, Chapelle would be the one fighting with…
