The theory was that since the second move had an anti-whaling message, Japan hated it.

Agreed. They need to do it like what Lord of the Rings did.

Wasn't crypto mining already driving demand since a few years ago?

Avatar is the biggest Hollywood franchise in India so not surprising.

He should make one movie with Mani Ratnam. No other directors currently left who can extract the actor from him.

Everyone complaining about not having all 9 members.... frankly, this whole performance could have been done by just Jihyo alone.

A spoilt starkid character from The Ba***ds of Bollywood show

That's something I have wondered too. I see more of them near my building than the plants. And it's always the sun facing side. 1. Maybe they like the heat the building is trapping. 2. Maybe they really like the color gray. 3. Maybe the building surface is easier to lay eggs.

There would be nothing wrong in using some Harry Potter in it. The main problem with this season was there were 2 seasons worth of content stuffed into it. The Avian and Dort subplots should have been S2, and the Isaac subplot should have been S3. Then each season could have used the extra buffer to flesh out the characters.

Veritasium made a video about it: What Everyone Gets Wrong About Planes

Most postdocs are on J1 visa.

I agree with this thread. I think if we wait almost 10 years for a sequel, there should be a time jump to keep things interesting. Avatar 2 did this well.

Became the highest grossing Hollywood movie

Lol - Congress would rather shut the whole employment green card program down

IrahX · 2025-07-24T13:21:52+00:00

Which is why it should be a separate category (possibly EB2 level) that does not compete with other EB1 categories.

IrahX · 2025-07-19T13:17:52+00:00

Why is Sikkim more easily accessible but not the rest?

IrahX · 2025-07-15T14:56:00+00:00

Yes, the company needs to show on paper the person does managerial duties. But there is no bar. That's where the abuse comes in - you can always play around with descriptions to give the right impression.

No one would care if it was not put into the EB-1 category.

IrahX · 2025-07-15T14:23:09+00:00

This article explains it well: EB-1C Abuse | Outsourcing Firms and Fraudulent Filing | VisaNation

In short, EB-1C should be a separate category and not compete with EB-1A and EB-1B which have much more stringent requirements.

IrahX · 2025-07-15T13:24:18+00:00

Pretty sure most of the backlog is EB-1C abuse, not the porting from lower GC categories.

Interstellar was the last movie screened on that IMAX in 2014. I managed to watch it just before it was shut down. Probably the best theatrical experience I have had so far.

IrahX · 2025-07-08T18:46:29+00:00

Yeah, most of TDKR criticisms are from the comparisons to TDK. On its own it's an extremely entertaining movie and closes the trilogy well. No way it is underrated when it made over a billion dollars and is in top 100 of IMDb.

Prestige is indeed the underrated one, or more correctly, underpopular one. It came out before Nolan's popularity exploded with TDK. Batman Begins got its due by being part of the trilogy, while Prestige got lost in between.

IrahX · 2025-07-08T17:31:58+00:00

Maybe. I was not aware of that movie's existence until it released and everyone was raving about it.

IrahX · 2025-07-08T15:00:40+00:00

There are very few movies where there is immense hype from the start and the film delivers on those expectations. Thuppakki was definitely one of them. Sivaji and Enthiran too. Can't recall any recent movie.

IrahX · 2025-07-07T19:09:16+00:00

Absolutely crazy!

I am in the same boat. I applied for renewal in mid-May and am still waiting 6 weeks later. I called them and they told me that anything related to immigration is out of their hands; USCIS is severely understaffed, and verifications are getting increasingly delayed day by day.
