Yes, how distant indeed the prospect of conflict between the United States and Russia seems now.

“Imagine you drop into a Halo battle royale and immediately find the rocket launcher? It’s game over for everyone else.”

You only get four shots unless you find more, so it’s over for a few others at best.  I’d definitely be open to giving a Halo BR a shot.

Luthor’s immediate “...who is this boy’s father?” was one of the few good lines they gave him in that one.  Really made him seem like the super-genius version of Luthor rather than the bumbling real-estate grifter version he was otherwise.

I liked it and Covenant for what they are - gorgeously-shot sci-fi slasher pics where hot people make extremely stupid decisions and die in messy ways as a result - but for that reason I’m also perfectly fine with (and vastly prefer) this show ignoring them entirely.  

I like Into Darkness just fine - there are some great setpieces and scenes even if the whole plot doesn’t totally make sense in the end. I think it suffered from not having the novelty that 2009 did, in the sense of “holy hell, this is great casting and is actually a ton of fun”, nor in ending the then-existing…

““What is sinister and what we shouldn’t tolerate is the idea that local councils can decide how often you go to the shops and that they ration who uses the roads and when, and they police it all with CCTV.””

Conservatives getting mad about a thing they made up entirely, entry #4234314 in a series.

I wish the sci-fi future we’d all hoped for hadn’t turned out to be so desperately stupid.

Another poster beat me to it, but this is a problem with an already-existing solution.  We can’t just allow them to create serious hazards to all other drivers on the road behind them.  

This is a deeply weird persona you’ve created for this single purpose here.  I hope you can get the help you clearly need.

Hey, this is great and much-needed

Well yeah, especially since he played it again.

Potential issue: if he gets even dumber, how exactly would we be able to tell?

Any other planet, perhaps.  Not wide swathes of this one.

Seems like Elon going into a persistent vegetative state would be the best possible thing for all of these companies.

While I’m guessing the cockpit voice recorder likely wouldn’t add all that much of substance to the investigation (perhaps a number of “what the fuck was that”s and some “mayday mayday”s), it still seems like having only two hours of time before the tape rolls over is needlessly limiting.  

Yeah, I really like all these “normal” features (other than the lack of frunk), so if they can unfuck their software issues I’ll be seriously interested in one of these.

Maybe it sounds better in the original Russian?

If the only real difference is less sodium, then Blue Heat is the healthy version!  I’m going to eat more of them now.

The higher-ups at Warner Brothers certainly cared that the guy who made The Suicide Squad made a good movie.

I don’t think the DCEU’s problem was the casting - for the most part (Affleck definitely included) it was good-to-great.  Which probably is part of the reason it was overall so very, very disappointing.
