Wait, that Groot thing had to be explained? That’s not even an internet theory, that’s literally the text of the film

Yeah, I was going to say he’s either wisely minimizing, or he just knows more about this incident than we do, like maybe there’s just an unrelated a-hole who’s been a problem for them in the past.

This is my favorite thread in days

I do (as long as it’s done well and the interface isn’t clunky). Because I find games more engaging when I have to make tough calls on what I can bring rather than having a pocket dimension in my backpack that can hold an absurd amount of stuff, which brings me out of the narrative/role-play aspect. It makes the…

Those seats and those seat belts are worth everything.

Yes! Films are more than just screenplays with incidental sound and image, just as they are more than a collection of plot points (I’m looking at you, CinemaSins)

A couple months back I was driving my X-90 around town and some guy all agape asked me at a stoplight what kind of car it was, if it was a Cappuccino or what? It was a complement—these things are rad.

Now you’re getting it (but also hellllllooo we’re not talking about criminal offenses)

I’m a pretty dyed-in-the-wool democratic socialist type who mostly falls under that second banner, BUT I carve out a big exception for bullshit that disproportionately preys on the low-income. Stuff like this, or frankly even the outrageous amount of parking fines cities levy drive me crazy, because they people who…

I went into this movie not really knowing what to expect besides “Hey, it’s A24 and they always put out good indie horror so this will probably be good too.”

Smart keys are great; this is a problem easily solved by just having the car beep if you exit with it still running (Which I’m really surprised isn’t already a thing).

Because this is a website people come to in order to read things that interest them. This interests me. Sorry it doesn’t interest you but maybe read one of the many other articles they publish every day. I have no interest in luxury performance cars but I’m not asking why they’re writing about them in the comments; I…

This past year I became the proud owner of an X-90. I love the damn thing. It’s scrappy and useless in a perfectly charming way. Just like the one posted here, it’s an LA car, and the X-90 is just so tailor-made for Southern California. The t-top roof, wild colors/patterns, and general “fun” sensibility make it an…

One thing I was curious about 2049 going into it was whether anyone would say “spinner,” because in the original movie (Where, IIRC it goes unmentioned verbally) that’s supposed to be the brand name of the skycars that the police fly, not a term for a class of vehicle. But everyone in pop culture fandom calls Blade…

Sounds like your theater had poor sound calibration.

I remember being a kid and seeing forest green Aleros on the freeway and just shaking my head wondering how anyone thought it was an object worth spending money on. If you want a practical boring car just buy a Civic!

Or, you could, you know, not click on the article and read literally any of the thousands of other articles on Jalopnik.

I had no idea there were squared Panther bodies. I always associate that platform so completely with the Police Interceptor/Crown Vic/NYC taxicab “drivable bar of soap” aesthetic.

Ever since reading this article, I have a real thing for museum-quality JDM 80s/90s cars. I feel like if I could just sit in the driver’s seat and smell the plastics, it would be a time machine or something.

True, but I can understand being miffed when almost every other performer this season has had the narrative of the episode come to a grinding halt to allow for a meditative, full performance on-screen. Hers indeed felt weirdly like a perfunctory afterthought, which was a let down for me as I was hoping she was being…
