Ninjas are cool, but I wonder what actual threat the Hand is against Peter.

Fortnite? My kids don’t play it anymore, I don’t know.

That can’t be true, it’s just for satire, right? Right?

It’s pedophiles all the way down…

No one had to invent a cheese pizza scandal or any other far flung theory, it’s happening with photographic and documented proof right before everyone’s eyes. I know that right-wingers have a strict in-group vs out-group ideology, but when your in-group includes SO MANY known pedophiles… I mean, c’mon.

Have you watched any other Trek besides those two? If not, you’ll probably enjoy Discovery.

I tried to get into Discovery when it first aired, coming from being steeped in the TNG era shows. It was not the Trek I was used to and I felt it didn’t show reverence for the franchise. Now that Academy is out, though, I’m planning to rewatch and finish Discovery.

Woo-oooo-oo-ould.

I agree, which is why I don’t see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.

This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That’s how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!

Luckovich is a badass.

“I didn’t say she was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy!”

I hope they licensed this footage appropriately and paid the voice actors scale, but I’d bet good money they didn’t.

I definitely felt the trauma of that time coming back and felt like crying at the end just due to the release of it all.

I finally watched Contagion after hearing about it since Covid. It’s eerie how many things they got right about a global pandemic: the blogger with his BS treatment, vilifying the head of the CDC… The list goes on.

I also watched the Deathstalker remake. It was okay, but that was to be expected.

I like this.

Lost. The first episode is a master-class in both “show and don’t tell” and setting up “mystery boxes.” It was downhill from there.

Flip it and you got me.

I did not know this but I believe you completely, dear stranger.

You don’t need AI to create soulless depictions of humanity, James Cameron already does that. I think he is just protecting his bread and butter from automation.

Snark aside, I grew up loving his movies. As a film student, I loved taking them apart in critique for his mastery of technical filmmaking. As a professor, I used the DVD extras from his films to show just how forward-thinking his knowledge was of VFX. But this Avatar garbage is just the result of a kid who finally leveled up enough to produce the comic book he wrote when he was 8. It’s awful.

I’m missing context on this one. I walk away from Lemmy for ONE day and…

They can rehash the Death Star plot four times, but they can’t bring back the Darksaber. I feel taken advantage of.

If they listened to the fans, everything would be Andor-level writing, Mandalorian-level characters with Clone Wars-level story and world-building.

Just do that.
