I’ve no problem paying the extra $10, but it’d be nice if Sony could improve PSN or PS Plus with this increase. Figure out a way to let us change our PSN names (I’d gladly pay a reasonable fee for it). Give us better download speeds. Make the Playstation Store a bit... better? (Clean up the store, organize it better,…

So, an already rip-off service is going to become even more of a rip-off. Yay!

“Generally worth the price?” Screw Microsoft for starting Xbox Live and setting the expectation that yearly subscriptions to access features of a console and games you've already bought is acceptable.

Agreed. Since LOTR proved you can do anything with good-looking CGI, just seeing anything isn’t good enough. Now we demand good scripts. This is a good thing.

Which, somehow, no one managed to figure out after the insane success of Mad Max. Y’all, practical stunts are AWESOME!! More of those!

I left out that caveat...but good point. Kinda like how suddenly we had 300 and Sin City sequels for...reasons. 10 years later.

Days of Future Past was a complete waste of time.

Which all makes me really worried for Rogue One...

I think sequels were a big reason. Did anybody *want* a sequel to ID4?

Yeah, but how many of these movies started with a good script? Hell, how many of them started without any script at all? I think you can buy good scripts, but you can’t make a good script on the run.

Nothing wrong with CGI. Fury Road was chock full of it. So was Deadpool. But it’s just a tool; you can’t fix a house with just a hammer, you can’t fix a movie with just CGI.

I think sequels were a big reason. Did anybody *want* a sequel to Alice? Or ID4?

I think “lifeless” is a really good way to describe it. I will probably continue to watch X-Men movies for as long as they make them. Even though I didn’t love DoFP, I was WAY more bored by Apocalypse. The Phoenix part at the end was great, and so was the Quicksilver scene, but man, other than that the movie had…

You’re basically describing the Ghostbusters reboot.

Too formulaic. CGI overload. Rushed production line. Unasked-for remakes. Just plain bad filmmakers.

Two major contributors to this problem:

Most of the apartments that I've lived in don't have a dishwasher and the kitchens are often small enough that there would be nowhere to put one. I'd love to have one, but with no kids it isn't so bad.

I think it has to do with the amount of utility offered. A dishwasher provides some utility, but the amount of effort dishwashers save over hand-washing is not all that great.

Dishwashers don't make any sense for a 1 person house. If you're the only person there, and dishes are too much work for you, you need your head examined. That's why only 75% of people have them. They're expensive to operate, and if you don't have a daily full load for them it's not worth the expense.

You can't just buy a dishwasher and plug it in somewhere in a kitchen that wasn't designed with one in mind. You need that chunk of space available next to the sink and under the counter. If you are going to look at a 'tech adoption' metric it would make sense to only count houses built or with major remodels after…
