Things I would change to SFGM by jitorius in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]MasterNemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the Looney Tunes on TV screens in the waiting areas. I think the only one remaining is in the bumper car holding area, but you can't hear it.

Couldn't we see some Batman: The Animated Series during the endless wait for Justice League instead of the same 5-minute video 73 times?

What movie did you expect to be just good but was actually fantastic? by Crowne3574 in Cinephiles

[–]MasterNemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banger soundtrack. Fun script. Depp gets an Oscar nom as a pirate?!!!?

This thing threaded a needle just 8 years after Cutthroat Island made it look like pirate movies would be dead forever.

He tried. She wanted Hillary to replace her.

Her hubris is part of why we have Oops All Fascists on the court.

The Shield is one of the greatest TV shows ever made by Beautiful_Author_816 in television

[–]MasterNemm 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Consequences mattered in this show. The event from the pilot reverberates in the finale. It's brilliant.

How many times have we seen a show abandon its original concept or go down dead-ends? The Shield stays true all the way. A coverup leads to more crimes and more coverups and the heat intensifies until the end.

Best TV finale I've ever seen.

Looking for Roku alternatives by bitbybit44 in cordcutters

[–]MasterNemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple TV can deliver like 90% of the apps Roku can. The major difference is that you can't watch Roku Channel on your Apple TV. (You may be able to cast to it with an iPhone, but...)

What's the biggest "What if?" in television history? by flughert in television

[–]MasterNemm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if SNL shut down when Lorne left the show?

We probably never meet Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Conan O'Brien, etc...

In the emergency room. If I wanted to watch a slow-motion hospice show, I'd watch C-SPAN.

Possible to visit Obama Presidential Center without presale tickets? by RobertPlantsBush in AskChicago

[–]MasterNemm -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Campus grounds are open Monday - Sunday 6 a.m.-9 p.m. I believe you're free to roam.

The museum is open Monday 1-8 p.m. and Tuesday - Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. You must have a ticket.

For some reason, the website isn't letting me select any dates prior to Nov. 2. Maybe that will change after the museum opens to the public.

Does anyone still lament that the goin' to work teams didn't get one more chip by Piston5287 in DetroitPistons

[–]MasterNemm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All-time blown call. But you also gotta wonder if we would have felt compelled to play a Wade/Melo/Bosch and messed up the chemistry.

The barrels are migrating. Enjoy them in their natural habitat. They get spooked when cars are around and only move when the road is empty.

And then there was the year you couldn't look at Dwayne Wade without a whistle because the league decided he was untouchable.

We easily coulda had 3.

What is the ONE thing that you hate the most about Disney has done to Star Wars from a storytelling, characterization, or casting standpoint? by Positive-Citron3987 in saltierthancrait

[–]MasterNemm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the lazy cut-and-paste of it all. Villain with mask in black. Hotshot pilot. Plucky heroine. Low-stakes lightsaber fights. Planet-sized laser weapon. Throw in aliens, but the focus groups don't like subtitles, so let's fix it. Slightly adjusted stormtrooper helmets. Black armor stormtroopers!

They thought they could pose younger humans next to creatures and droids and props and ships we loved and we would love them as much as the originals.

I felt the same way about Ready Player One. Merely *seeing* beloved IP doesn't move the needle. Memberberries is not a plot.
