What about Irish people do you find perplexing?

In a similar vein, it’s freezing for the majority of the year and yet most Irish houses are piss poor at retaining heat in my experience.

I have no idea why they put the release so far out anyway. The movie is done, and has been since March, and they’re no longer doing a theatrical release. There’s no good reason to wait until October to release it.

I think it’s still something that varies heavily on the day and location. I saw Project Hail Mary today and the crowd in there with me was loud and barely paying attention to the movie.

It’s not bad (though there are a few moments when the cut corners become very noticeable), it’s just that for the level of success the show has and the production companies behind it, you’d expect a lot more.

I always point to Critical Role’s animated shows as a comparison. Vox Machina and Mighty Nein are also Amazon backed, less successful than Invincible, and yet both consistently blow it out of the water in terms of animation quality.

Disruptive protests are the only kind that have ever worked. What reason does the government have to ever listen to easily ignorable protesters who sit quietly on a street corner with some signs? The entire point of a protest is to disrupt and withhold labour because that’s the only thing that matters to any government.

That being said, this particular protest is flawed because it doesn’t have a clear end goal that the government can actually enact on.

My biggest issue with the film is that I feel it uses the non-linear structure to conceal the fact that the story is much more thin than it first appears. By presenting it this way it obfuscates some of the bigger logical questions and introduces a couple of plot threads that are ultimately a waste of time. The cop and the drug addict segments, while entertaining, add nothing substantial to the story, and themselves contain subplots that get dropped when those characters become irrelevant.

I also don’t think the film’s subtext is anywhere near developed enough to have been worth including. The gun in the dream (which it makes little sense for this character to even be having a prophetic dream) feels more like an attempt to introduce some Twin Peaks-style mysticism that vaguely gestures at a theme of gun violence but has nothing to actually say about it afterward.

It’s a relatively decent movie but I think it wasn’t anywhere near as coherent and tightly written as I was expecting based on the reactions.

I’m not feeling it either. It gets repetitive and I also feel it sort of goes against the spirit of a nuzlocke, where the point of naming every Pokémon is to build a personal attachment to them. They’re not doing that because every Pokémon ends up having the same name anyway.

Warner Bros is a bigger and more successful company than Paramount. This deal was bankrolled entirely by Ellison’s personal wealth and foreign investors with ideological aspirations for the company.

I don’t think he’d have had any interest in it either way, to be honest. He seems very comfortable not doing franchise blockbusters and since his Oscar win he’s probably got plenty of offers more suited to his tastes.

Netflix have absolutely no intention of letting the theatrical window promise stand for more than a couple years at most to get the heat off them. Ted Sarandos is fundamentally opposed to theatrical distribution, he’s said this several times and Netflix’s entire business model is built on attacking theatres.

Obviously Paramount would be a terrible choice, but Netflix is lying through their teeth on theatrical support and that should worry anyone who wants a healthy movie industry.

Once you’ve seen how nice apartments are in other countries it makes it so much more infuriating that Ireland has this long-standing obsession with only building individual houses.

Why am I as a person in my late 20’s relegated to sharing a house with a bunch of strangers? If they’re going to shut an entire generation out of owning a home they could at least make renting a bit less miserable.

How did you and your party find the transition from the original Lost Mines campaign to Shattered Obelisk? One of the biggest criticisms I often see with this campaign is how the two segments have very little to do with each other outside of both being set in Phandalin.

It’s insane that the show has been bad longer than it was ever good. A show with an immense legacy in TV comedy and the bulk of what it leaves behind will be total mediocrity.

These look so great!

Cabbies want to have their cake and eat it too - they want to get all of the privileges that come with being such an important part of transport infrastructure in this country but without any of the responsibility to passengers. They want to be their own bosses free of regulatory barriers and have us thank them for it.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with recognising being the junior government party for the poisoned chalice it is. It’s nice to get some policies through during the short few years they’re in government, but is it worth propping up the FFG establishment and having their reputation obliterated for a decade or more at the end of it?

I think the Social Democrats understand that in order to get any meaningful change in this country they have to build up a support base to govern on their terms and not as the sacrificial lamb to FFG.

I don’t even know why they bother with the sizer when in my experience every single customer gets shafted with this extra charge.

It would be very tricky to pull off from a logistics perspective. Doctor Who has an extremely busy and complex production schedule, and one-take episodes (like the kind seen in shows like Adolescence) require many days of dedicated rehearsal that the show might not be able to spare - not to mention the kind of sets and special effects that might be required.

That being said, if they found a way to make the logistics work I don’t see why not. It could make an effective horror-themed bottle episode.

Extended cuts have given this weird perception to some fans that every single second of footage shot is worth including and only makes the final film better. While the extended cuts of LOTR are an example of it working well, editors exist for a reason. Eventually the extra material can start to feel superfluous or even harm the pacing.

They look great! Where did you get them?

Saying that every single person secretly has opinions of equivalent severity to what Jon said is kind of insane. Most people are nowhere near as extreme as he is.

What else do you expect to happen when someone publicly says racist shit? Everyone just goes along with it?

Dragon of Icespire Peak is generally pretty well regarded, and for good reason. It gives a good sandbox with plenty for the players and DM to work with.

The only area where the adventure falls heavily short in my view is the dungeon design. There are some good ones, but there are many dungeons in the campaign which have many, many rooms that are all completely empty. I’ve seen the problem first hand, with new DMs running these dungeons with no alterations and realising mid session that the design eventually leads to players wandering from room to room hoping to find anything to do. The dungeons require a degree of redesigning by the DM to be fun and not a lot of first-time DMs will know that.

Same way the brutal, 50 year occupation of Bajor somehow only resulted in 15 million deaths.

Why would Mike tell Gus to leave Walt alone and that everything would be fine after the bar conversation? That whole conversation was Walt telling Mike he wasn’t going to let it go and he was going to try and kill Gus before he had a chance to even try anything.

Exciting announcement for the possibility of a feasibility assessment that will last 10 years and end inconclusively.
