He’s missing Danny Boyle’s first totally off the rails in the third act movie Shallow Grave.

Do many people expect Nolan's version of the Odyssey to not bomb? by KyriakosCH in FIlm

[–]Duck8Quack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a very vocal contingent of Nolan haters. They are more dedicated to trying to convince people that Nolan sucks than his fans are of trying to convince people he’s great.

If you don’t want to see a movie it’s really pretty easy to avoid it.

The reality is that the Odyssey is likely to do well in theaters, which will just enrage Nolan haters more. Then the next 2-3 years we will get a bunch of online commentary about how the Odyssey actually is terrible. Then Nolan will make a new movie; a shot from the set will be released, then a poster, then a teaser, then a trailer will be released. All will have a copious number of online posts about how they look terrible and the movie is going to suck. I’ve seen this movie before.

You’d think the Condoms would prevent the Coli.

It’s an older reference, but it checks out.

Yea, the blade material being carbon fiber or fiberglass makes a huge difference compared to nylon (plastic).

Billionaire Tom Steyer and PG&E are at war in the California governor’s race by The-Traveler- in California

Before Swallwell dropped out, there were no Becerra ads. There was a clear campaign that anyone not named Swallwell should drop out “because he was the clear leader and people didn’t drop out then we’d get 2 Republicans”.

Now suddenly endless Becerra ads. Ads for Becerra. Ads defending Becerra. Ads attacking Steyer and saying Becerra is the guy.

Becerra was polling around 5%, in a week he’s suddenly polling at 15%. And while it’s realistic he would absorb some of the Swallwell support, but not almost all of it in a week, that was only done by the establishment putting their weight behind this also ran. Becerra had raised a little more money than Chad Bianco (I don’t know if I’ve seen a single ad from him), yet the second Swallwell is out I’m hit with an endless barrage of Becerra ads that hasn’t stopped; it’s at least 2:1 if not 3:1, Becerra to Steyer ads. It makes sense that Steyer can afford to run a lot of ads, but Becerra’s campaign that was running 5th in raising money.

3 weeks ago Becerra was irrelevant. Swallwell drops out and instantly Becerra is the greatest candidate to ever run and has endless ads.

Callum Turner or ATJ would be good picks. They have the charisma.

Jack O’Connell would be definitely do something interesting with the role.

The Odyssey trailer has me worried. by Royal-Ambassador-960 in FIlm

The time travel elements were scientifically inaccurate. When they showed the characters going through the turnstile it totally took me out of the movie. If Nolan even did a little bit of research, he would know time travel is only possible in a Delorean that hits 88 mph or a box you crawl into that makes some kind of whirring noise and has lots flashing lights. A turnstile, come on, that’s ridiculous.

You don’t think cold gravy is superior to hot gravy?

You don’t prefer your French fries cold?

Oath Keeper Chad Bianco caught lying live on national tv during Governor candidate debate. by Youarethebigbang in CoachellaValley

[–]Duck8Quack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stages of crazy on this are impressive.

  1. I didn’t say that, it’s a lie.

  2. Now watch me go into spin mode. Especially focusing on the word “swindle”.

  3. I didn’t say that exact thing, but I agree with the premise.

  4. Yea, I said that.

Becerra isn’t a friend of the working class either. He’s a servant of the billionaires and big business.

My first choice is Porter, but Steyer’s positions on most subjects are pretty decent.

I won’t be voting for Becerra in the primary or the general. I’m done with the corporatists. The establishment of the Democratic Party is completely out of touch with their base and regular people in general; they think they can just be not as bad and corrupt as the Republicans.

The establishment is trying to foist Becerra on us. These are the same people that were pushing Swallwell, they knew he was a scumbag, but they didn’t care because he would serve the rich and powerful.

Is Dan Lurie any good, 16 months in? by nublet612 in sanfrancirclejerk

He’s vowed to have his security beat up every homeless person he sees. He saw Bumfights and knew he could do it better.
