You, on the other hand, sound like you’re tremendous fun at parties.

Must be a glitch in the matrix; I’m hearing 90s-era Leno jokes!

By the looks of things, and this is purely this writer’s prediction, Neo’s everyday life from the first trailer is another training simulation, complete with a face-melting Trinity. And within the first few beats of the film, the simulations guide him going through events from the trilogy—sort of like Avengers: Endgame

“Lindsay-Hogg, a colorfully blue-blood raconteur who comes across like a young Orson Welles in disguise”

I don’t know if this is intended to be a sly refence to the long-standing rumor that he’s Welles’s biological son, but if not it’s an amusingly apt comparison. (If it is intentional, touché.)

My mother’s people are from Indiana. Sometimes canned fruit cocktail (drained) would make an appearance, but otherwise this was a familiar dish in my house in the northeast corner of New York.

Yep. Can confirm that “ambrosia salad” is not the sole property of the south. It was ever-present when I was growing up in Ohio. My mom’s family has rural roots, and these sorts of dishes have been served at church potlucks and carnivals for generations. 

Same. I’m a native Californian, but my parents grew up in Kansas. Cool whip, diced apples, canned oranges and usually I think “fruit cocktail” that had at least grapes in it, plus mini marshmallows. Never banana in ours, but sometimes the fruit cocktail had pineapple and/or cherries.

I can always count on midwesterners to validate a certain subset of southern dishes and i really appreciate it!

I don’t think the wonder is warranted. Most of the best Korean actors in the world live in Seoul, while, I imagine, very few of the best white English-speaking actors do. And even a high-budget drama like this presumably isn’t going to pay to fly good actors in from California for a small role.

Those weren’t Korean actors, they were white guys living there they hired as actors, which is a thing there with all of their stuff and one of the easiest gigs a Westerner can get in Asia:

Not sure if this will be visible, but anyway. I’ve been living in Japan for 15 years and I know this kind of thing is done the same way in both countries: the VIPs and only the VIPs are terrible actors, but this is not intentional, and is not necessarily the fault of the dialog. It’s because the foreign “actors” they…

The IMAX portions of Christopher Nolan’s movies actually do look noticeably cooler and more immersive on my non-IMAX sized tv.

I think you’re comically overestimating Villeneuve’s pull with the studio.

Hopefully they spent the pandemic writing it and doing preproduction, right? If the studio really is behind it I doubt they’re waiting on today to start on part 2

The metadata for this torrent says “not the best quality, better quality coming October 22, take it or leave it”.

It’s like that great Justified line (as if there’s only one): If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.

but Luna did say “faces.” That means more than on face,
it could be Rod Stewart & Ronnie Woods, it could mean Man-E-Faces, it could mean Templeton Peck...

Jeffrey Combs!  Thank you Lower Decks for understanding your audience so well.

Didn’t like five guys steal the Enterprise? And McCoy was pretty worthless on that trip, so call it four.

It’s not. It’s the fx for the personal forceshield you dumb iliterate person. The article even describe it. Read before comment.
