A revolver is never going to be actually empty in a film, though. Because the front of the chambers are open and visible, in non-shooting scenes they’re always loaded with dummy rounds so that the gun appears to be properly loaded when viewed from the barrel end. Dummy rounds deliberately look almost exactly like real…

Right. They’d need more than 50 people who never touch code, just to handle business operations. Global advertising management alone should need more than that if Musk hadn’t scared off most of the accounts.

Too late to edit, but I should have added that I know and appreciate that my experience is the exception rather than the rule. 

“that whole do what you ll love and you will never work another day shit is bs.”

I think Solo looks worse because of the success Rogue One had. It also had a troubled production (not as bad, but still needing another director to step in and save the project) and it didn’t even have familiar characters like Han, Chewie or Lando as a hook. It managed more than a billion dollars in ticket sales…

Sure, I understand all that, but I don’t know that Disney’s shareholders are that inclined to see much beyond the bottom line, and primarily noting that ‘Johnson made us $700 million less than Abrams did.” If the Disney brass were genuinely interested in looking past TLJ’s box office result, we likely wouldn’t be…

Viewed on its own merits, TLJ was a huge financial success, making over $1.3 billion worldwide. The problem is, it still looks like a significant disappointment compared to TFA, which raked in more than $2 billion globally. It’s entirely understandable that Disney’s powers that be would see a sequel that dropped a…

There will always be a place for human artists in art.

A younger Superman, because 217 episodes of Smallville might not have covered that thoroughly enough.

As a middle-aged white guy, I am astonished to learn anyone would even remotely care what any of us wear. I could buy more fashionable clothing, no doubt, but jeans, flannel and Vans have been doing just fine for like thirty years now…

I’d have thought that Coke Zero was the go-to for middle aged white guys, but perhaps I’m out of touch. That said, caffeine-free Diet Coke is basically a brown crayon dissolved in carbonated water, so I really don’t see what the appeal is...

Don’t get me wrong, I do go back ... because of Nintendo’s exclusives

I think Cameron’s going to pull this off.

Right up there with Fortunate Son among songs politicians shouldn’t be playing at their campaign events.

I don’t think I knew Nic Cage was actually Nic Coppola until he won his Oscar. He adopted Cage as his stage name when he was 19 to avoid accusations of nepotism.

The trailer also has Clancy Brown telling him only one can survive, which delights me more than it should.

“Also can you please change the lead image to one of their games.”

This is the whole reason I sadly clicked on the article, but then it turned out to be marginally relevant with the happy confirmation Eidos has started work on a new DX game; it was a roller coaster of emotion.

I’m too astonished that Netflix would let a genre show make it to a fourth season to even have an opinion on recasting the lead.

Why settle for reasonable discussion when eye-blistering rage is an option…
