I mean... I’m not saying you are wrong but... christ that is a stretch. They wanted to keep a perfectly healthy baby and felt paternal towards it even before it was born! PROPAGANDA! You actually sound like one of those uncaring, sociopathic caricatures that right-wingers accuse all liberals of being. I’d hazard a…

That... is certainly a reading. But I think it gives far more credit to Krasinski’s film making capabilities then he deserves. He made a fun but unsubstantive and ultimately overrated horror movie. To suggest it contained ANY ideology I find hard to believe.

The timing of the Bengazi movie makes it fairly obvious to me he agreed to star in that only to get funding for and permission to direct The Quiet Place (produced by Bay).  

Christ. The experts have based decisions off of the best available evidence at the time. Look at the death rate in Lombardy for instance, the variables are many and many of them still unknown but you bitch about people caring too much for your safety.

It’s funny, I live and work in BC, in the film industry, and most of the crew from out west say it’s worse in Vancouver because of the wet and wind. You can dress for the cold but there is only so much you can do about the damp air if you are standing around in it for hours. It gets in your bones.

I live in BC, and work in the industry so I know. If you have to stand around a lot in a costume at 4am in the wet and it’s -2 degrees you’re going to get pretty cold. I’ve heard so many of the Batwoman crew complain about the shoot. I’ve also heard Ruby was difficult but just trying to see both sides. Amell could be…

In fairness to Rose shooting Batwoman involves predominantly long night shoots, in winter in Vancouver which can’t be much fun.

Yes I too heard she was a bit of a nightmare too(not knowing anything about her mental health issues)

“In my county we have had a total of 121 fatalities, and at least a third of those where reported as the Rona but most likely something else.” While many deaths may have been miss attributed to Covid, many more deaths may have been Covid related but not tested for it.

I don’t think you get to be the arbiter of who is and isn’t a nerd. Charles’ comic bonofides speak for themselves. I just wish he’d remember this “Hey relax, they’re just comic books” attitude next time he’s writing his next hand-ringing judgemental piece because some comic book/film didn’t handle a social issue in…

Did you really call someone a fuckrard (sic) for not liking a TV show you liked? Well done for doing your bit in making the internet a shittier place to be. 

Got to give the guy some credit it for Stranger Things, but he is a comedy black hole.

Hard disagree. Someone high up at Fireaxis wants XCom to be something else, something that isn’t a fit for the turn-based gameplay. I hope this is just an experiment and not a sign of further changes to come. Let Xcom be Xcom and don’t try to turn it into Fortnite.

I’d say deus ex ‘badass’ Seven was the worst character served by the show.

I absolutely love the core gameplay at the centre of XCom. I could, and do, play it for hundreds of hours. But for me Fireaxis go out of their way to separate the player from what makes XCom so good. With each new release they lean more into their hackneyed story telling and uninteresting characters, burying the…

Such as the holographic interface on new Trek space ships. Seems an awfully imprecise way to control a star ship. Is the Tactical Officer simply gesticulating or trying to fire torpedoes?

Staying home again? Where is your evidence that Sander supporters stayed home in the last election? Or are you helping the spread of disinformation designed to split the left’s vote?

Also, as much as I’m sure we both want this futile tangent to come to a close. How exactly did I move the goalposts?

Oh I agree about the decreasing values of truth. But pick your battles and get some perspective. Questioning the motives of someone because they have the entirely understandable opinion that a streaming service isn’t doing very well because they don’t know anyone who subscribes to it won’t win the truth any friends.

Just this morning I was informed that a local business I thought was doing very well was in fact going out of business. I’m glad the person who corrected me about it was able to correct me without accusing me of “spewing bullshit.” I’m sure you would do the same in real life, why be so hostile online then?
