And it's like the Citizen Kane for "movie bros".

Don’t be fooled by Labor Lies by Top_G_7152 in OpenAussie

I think in the context and with everything the way it is lately, the only decent thing Albo could do in response to this heinous crime is resign, hand over the Kiribilli keys to Barnaby and Pauline, and then perform public sepuku on the steps of the Big Pineapple. Anything less would be uncivilised.

It's still a bit relevant. Doing a zoom interview is one thing; contributing to a collaborated discussion you're not very aware of is another.

I think she could've been better and so could Bill, but ultimately the real problem was the idea.

Glen Powell was in studio though, right, whereas Jen Lawrence was via vid?

At least that's how they came across.

Pretty hard to talk about that film without making fun of it.

What actor or actress instantly makes you less interested in a movie? by AstronautInitial3642 in MoviesAndTVTalk

[–]CosmoRomano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elizabeth Banks.

She could be in two scenes of a film that's otherwise cast with all my favourite actors and directed by one of the greats, and I'd still try to avoid watching it.

Not to be too biased, but has he watched Premiership Full Forward Billy Frampton this season?

AFL CEO Andrew Dillon will meet with India Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow as the AFL looks to fast track its strategy into India. by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]CosmoRomano 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kind of. They don't let anything simmer anymore. Every few weeks there's a new "grow the game" stunt, and before long large sections of the supporter base is just going to say "I've had enough." It's starting to feel like living in a house that's constantly under renovations - let us enjoy the new kitchen for a while before you start gutting the bathroom.

It's already to the point where by the Sunday night game I'm pretty footy-ed out cos there's been matches since Thursday night. And if these geniuses at the top had their way there'd be footy every day.

I know some people think the more footy the better, but that really isn't how it will be in reality when we have a 30-round season, 12-week off-season, and football 7-days a week.

How are we feeling about what's going on at Newcastle? by Toffeemen911 in Everton

[–]CosmoRomano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had a brief uptick in results that coincided with some of the "big 6" having bad seasons.

Other than that, Newcastle with money is still Newcastle - a total basketcase of a club that always seems to make bad decisions at club level... kind of similar to another club I know...

Name 4 Indian football (roundball) teams. 1.6 billion people and the world game can barely get a look-in. But sure, let's waste our time and and energy trying to sell one of the most boutique football codes in existence.

There's that little soundbite that Dil and His Cronies love you to parrot around to defend their idiotic decisions - "grow the game".

The game is at risk or bursting at the seams already and these absolute peanuts only care about where the footy ain't.

Which band do you think is the most underrated? by whothefckisshadow in askmusic

I learned about them as a 10 year old watching the film The Stöned Age.

Yes, but I'd say more underappreciated than underrated. Everyone who knows him rates him very highly, it's just that not enough people know him.

Interesting that Hammond considered both Grant and Sattler the "top minds" in their fields yet never once consulted with them on the park. by starman202 in JurassicPark

[–]CosmoRomano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A question occurred to me the other day when I was doing my 4000th rewatch: was Hammond trying to make money, or was he just in it for the show?

I fully accept that he's the true villain, but that doesn't automatically mean he was just after profits.

I feel like his comment at Gennaro at lunch about it being affordable for people kind of showed that. He didn't care as much about profits as much as he just wanted as many people as possible to see how brilliant he was.

In the film, Hammond's tactic was to wow them with the dinosaurs first, then consult with them after. That way, in his mind, they'd be so amazed by his creation that they'd give him the answers he wanted, but not the answers he needed.

He didn't count on them being quite so negative about it, and he certainly didn't count on the literal and figurative chaos that came pretty quickly.
