There’s a shortage of employers willing to pay pilots what they’re worth.

I’ve always thought an odometer should be something you use to track down bad smells.

How long before OceanGate begins offering submarine rides down to the debri field? 

For people involved in deep sea exploration many felt it was pretty much a recovery mission from the start.

The article could use some more details.

Not bad for Asteroid City considering it doesn’t open nationwide until this Friday. 

I haven’t read or watched a single biography of Walt Disney that covers the time period of the creation of Mickey Mouse that doesn’t mention Ub Iwerks (including stuff produced by the Disney company).  He might not be a household name like Disney is, but the name of the company always was “Disney” not “Disney-Iwerks”.

Was Miller known as a “crazy dude” back when they were first cast?

leave it to the son of Jack Kirby to convincingly compare Spider-Man to Michelangelo’s David”

He didn’t convincingly compare anything. It’s a nonsensical argument. Nobody is claiming that Michelangelo created David, just as no one is claiming anyone other than Ditko drew Spider-Man.

Lee’s argument about Spider-Man is

I have no interest in going to see a Flash movie with two incarnations of the least interesting Flash. Now if it was a movie focused only on the Superwoman in the film, and it was set in the same universe as Keaton’s Batman (with a hopeful lead into a Keaton-verse Batman Beyond) I’d be completely interested in it and

Asteroid City cracked the top ten by selling tickets to the cast of Asteroid City.

Sunday is included, but as an estimate based on Friday and Saturday’s performance. Here’s a good article on it: https://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/predict-weekend-box-office-before-sunday-numbers.htm

Excellent point, and like many similar pop culture disputes, it’s a case of overcorrection. I just finished watching the documentary, and yes, it’s overall a flattering portrayal of Stan Lee. But I thought the inclusion of a radio interview where Kirby and Lee revisited this very argument went a long way in setting

I there anyone out there with even a basic familiarity with Marvel comics character who isn’t aware that Jack Kirby was hugely important in the creation of many of the classic golden and silver aged characters? It’s not like this is some hidden secret of Marvel comics.

Stan did his best work with Jack, Steve, and John.

Jack did his best work with Stan. Steve did his best work with Stan. John did his best work with Stan (but also with anybody, because he was John Romita).

All of these dudes were essential ingredients in the magic of the finished product. 

By referring to Stan Lee as a “(self-described) visionary creator” and a “proud self-promoter” betrays your bias going into this piece. The Kirby acolytes go so far in the other direction that they make seem it like Lee never had an original idea of his own. Why is it so difficult for people to acknowledge that the

Duh. This was never going to matter or do anything.

I mean, I don’t really have a dog in this fight, I understand that most people don’t like the Reddit app but that’s what I use. I get the complaints about the lack of accessibility, but I also get the other side to a degree, that these APIs are a drain on servers.

When Reddit fired their AMA Coordinator, Victoria Taylor, there was a great deal of anger and many subreddits went private. I suspect the current protests will be just as effective a they were back then.

Niagra Falls!? Slowly I turned . . .
