I’ll go further and say that none of this is ever going to work until all transportation is automated, period. Human drivers making weird decisions, jaywalkers, construction, unique obstacles, blocked lanes, animals in the road, bicyclists, broken water mains/backed up drains/flooding, etc. - there’s never going to be…

A reminder that Ben Shapiro is a failed screenwriter, and only turned into a right wing culture warrior after he was viciously rejected by Hollywood.

Cube got rich. Really really rich. And like a lot of really really rich people, he’s bored (and wants those sweet sweet tax breaks!). Vaccine denialism is first and foremost about entertainment - it’s conspiracy porn.

As you probably know, in addition to there being a good market for vintage arcade cabinets there are also vendors who will build lookalikes complete with the old art. A few years ago I had a friend who wanted to buy an original Galaga box, but when she saw the price for even a beat-up unit decided to have one built…

It was a big story during the 2007-08 WGA strike when John Ridley, who had built himself a brand of being something of a holier-than-thou social justice type, went fi-core so he could continue working during the strike.

The UK Labour Party has quite famously been out of power for many many years. Maybe everyone should read a newspaper?

The original Avatar came out in 2009, and began shooting a few years before. At that point Hollywood was trying to make Sam Worthington into a star - he was the star of Terminator Salvation, which also came out 2009, and Clash of the Titans, which came out in 2010. Both of which were also huge budget movies that…

That logo looks like it was created on MS Paint in 1997.

She’s a recently-acquired beard to help shield him from the sex trafficking investigation.

Sounds like it’s god’s will that homeowners in Florida should not have insurance and we should accept it and move on.

I’m sympathetic to the argument about customers who travel, but that’s a vanishingly small segment of the audience. My guess is 99%+ of hours streamed on Netflix is people watching on the same IP address they always do.

They pretend to be anti culture and anti-Hollywood, but they want nothing more than to be accepted and catered to by the culture they despise. Pathetic.

Or that they can’t figure out a satisfactory ending for, so they punt it to “let the audience decide”. Which is what I think these films are often really after.

The thing is it didn’t have to look terrible. All Scorsese had to do was cast an age-appropriate actor to play the character as a young person. Happens all the time. Still could have cast DeNiro as his middle age and older self. But he insisted on only working with DeNiro, which turned a fairly standard mob drama with…

Honestly this dude seems pretty great. If that message shows anything it’s that he was kind and tactful in giving a response to a very sensitive question, while registering repeatedly that he loved and supported her no matter what.

Better or worse than a 75-year-old Robert DeNiro being called “kid” and taking part in the most awkward street fight in the world in The Irishman?

The vast vast majority of the time, “better second week than first” happens when a movie goes from a limited to a wide release, i.e. it starts in 5 theaters week one, then goes to twenty, then goes to 600. It’s usually reserved for indie/art/awards contenders that don’t have big natural four-quadrant appeal, and want…

It looks like Elon was watching Total Recall late one night and decided it was actually a historical document.

The chess episode had a fantastically funny second half. And there were a few decent moments during the Chuck E. Cheese-esque episode, though they’ve done eps like it before.

They need to put It’s Always Sunny out to pasture. It’s had an incredible run, but these last two seasons have been earth-shatteringly bad.
