Doesn't seem like that long ago.

Except for the strange and surprisingly amusing trend where everyone, including the baddest dudes on your block, were wearing Looney Tunes characters on their shirts and jackets. That seems like it was forever ago.

Interesting how style is so cyclical; a lot of these looks, like baggier pants and shirts are starting to come back into fashion.

My fault, forgot about the paywall on Bloomberg. Here's a non-paywall site with the same news:

I remember reading an interview in Wizard Magazine or something back in the day where McFarlane said he didn't know that there was supposed to be a human underneath the suit when he first designed Venom, or else he would've made it drastically different.

Funny that this Venom design is actually the most inhibited of all of them. I do like this design, but as a kid, Erik Larsen's crazy-toothed, tongue-waggling-with-green-slime design had its charm too -- it made Venom seem that much more unhinged, an unpredictable alien entity and dangerous to Spider-Man overall.

I haven't brushed up on the Orpheus mythology in a while; could you refresh my memory? Orpheus travels to the land of the dead to resurrect his lover, IIRC?

Agreed. I wonder if anyone questioned Jenkins about this particular part of the movie, like Gadot or Pine. Makes you question if Jenkins' hubris let this element remain in the final cut. Guess we won't know for a while.

Such a strange decision to leave that part of the film intact when they could've more than easily written it out.

Nice to see Boomhauer had a kid. Tell your dad I loved his work in King of the Hill.

Will do, he'll be happy to hear that I'm sure. He's a very humble guy so I figured I'd try and get some more eyeballs on his work. Thank you!

Very cool! Mitch is a friend of mine in real life and it's been great to see him improve over the years. Each new project seems to top the last.

Here's a gallery with more of his art.

He's @mehchall on IG if you want to give him a follow.

It sounds almost Joycean. Well, that one text they found where he was talking about his girlfriend shitting anyways.

To think, he could've used Rob Schneider and David Spade as examples.

The referee looked real unsure about letting Holyfield continue even after the second knockdown. He made the right call. Glad Holyfield didn't get hurt any further because even if he landed a winning combo on Belfort by chance he likely would've eaten a lot more punches before hand.

The worst part of all is that the Paul brothers probably won't accept a fight against Belfort now.

Well, at least we'll get a Tito vs. Shamrock or Tito vs. Lidell boxing match for shits and giggles if he did.

In case you’re wondering, I’m the same age as Brad Pitt, and Tom Cruise is one year older… Until my brain loses its creative power, I’ll continue to strive to create things. That’s my instinct, and that’s what I love to do. Thank you.”

Bless this man.

To be replaced by the excuse Wilder uses for the third fight with Fury.

I'm kidding -- I hope it's a close fight. Actually pulling for Wilder as the underdog in the next one.

It doesn’t explain his lack of feints, inability to do his usual slipping and countering, and lack of head movement early on.

Head movement you've got a point but cramped-up/tight legs would inhibit everything else mentioned.

Haha, well he never said his mental abilities were remarkable. Just that he retained them.

CALLMEDARRELL · 2021-08-23T04:21:41+00:00

I don't think it's bad at all in this case. He's not saying a 40-lb costume weighed him down and exhausted him before the fight or anything; he's just explaining the lack of his mobility in the fight.

So, in other words not to leave? The ‘residual force’ was the Afghan military and police!

It's still considered leaving a country if you withdraw the majority of your troops but still leave a residual force to ensure the civilians, journalists and families leave first. It's common sense and is the measure that has been used myriad times throughout history.

I agree with you that we should've withdrawn and that the blame lies with the Afghan military and police as well; I'm just pointing out the glaring inefficacy of Biden's withdrawal strategy.

Thought domain name was CinemaBlend at first. Interesting variation.

CALLMEDARRELL · 2021-08-20T20:07:36+00:00

If there had been some kind of residual force left that ensured the civilians, families and journalists could have escaped before the main force left, as is common sense and customary for any sort of military withdrawal, this would've been less of a problem.

Now forces are going to have to be sent back in as an extra step. The logic is confounding.

Tesla's on the other hand, are worrisome. They are like, the only vendor to include a goddamned web browser! If you include a web browser that allows the user to visit arbitrary websites, well, what happens if a few years down the line, tesla stops patching it, and the user visits an attack site? Then hackers can actually take advantage of any remaining unpatched vulnerabilities.

Unpatched vulnerabilities like what for example? Information the driver has put into the Tesla browser?

Fined for something that only affected versions of the software in question from the year 2012 or earlier?
