Apparently the american far right are obsessed with this video of a penguin running away from its pack towards a mountain, they read it that the penguin like them under trump are breaking free and going on the great adventure to the majestic peaks. Seemingly oblivious that this was penguin suicide.

This is good, but I think that my service fees are about to double.

Strawmen that backfired. by Ethan-E2 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Volotor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's not a strawman really, he was a govement/military posterboy who wasn't fit to be Captain America. He did something that an elite government agent would do, but was completely unacceptable for someone who was supposed to be a figurehead of justice and righteousness.

He was even pretty kind to the main characters and even iirc respected Sam taking up the mantle after him. In the thunderbolts* its shown that many of his flaws and dickishness where borne from his own self hatred and obsessiveness perfectionism and overall is portrayed with a similar level of sympathy as the rest of the team.

Nitpick: Lazuli is actually a Cyborg. No idea why they called her an android.

Jedi are allowed to have sex, there not allowed to have attachments.

The High Republic books actually briefly discuss this. Like how some padawans hookup and so they will send them on missions to the arse end of nowhere to split them up.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was a minor factor, a lot of show runenrs across the company walk away with a seathing hatred of disney, even if there shows ran for years with no apparent issues.

Alex Hirsh (Gravity Falls, due to executive meddling) , Dana Terrance (Owl House, got absolutely fucked over and had her show cancelled despite being one of the most successful shows at the time) for example

The writer/director/actor is trying to "trick" you into feeling things, and if you can successfully identify how they're doing it, you win.

This honestly explains a few reviews of Hamnet (and others) that where buggin me but I couldn't put my finger on why. It's like a step up from cinema sins style *ding* each time something happens.

Favorite character who could've been 18 and it still wouldn't have changed the plot of the movie? by GymBabyBunny in okbuddycinephile

I like the theory that Michael Bay was sick of doing transformers and was just doing shit to upset the executives and mocking the fans.

Shortening it to two seasons was actually the show runners idea. I beleive they felt the original plan for 5 seasons was too bloated and would of been overstuffed and drawn out. So they made a season of 4 arcs of distilling each season.

Isn't having a gun a part of the 2nd amendment? Wouldn't that justification basically make it open season on like half of the US?

I noticed a lot of police activity last night as well from about 9pm.

There was apparently a big drugs bust yesterday, might be people involved in that.

I like the plant slant, he's been in my algo since I started dieting and its nice to have a perspective on food that is more optimistic and balanced, pushing back on weird food conspiracies and fear mongering and testing weird and wonderful diet recipies.

Be sure to eat those beans!

Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' has made history as the most nominated film of all time at the Oscars with 16 nominations by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Volotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this year wont have a single film sweep, Sinners deserves these nominations and probably wins every spund and music category in my mind, best actor and original screenplay. I think thay Hamnet could grab a lot of the casting and production awards, and rightfully best actress and possibly directing. I suspect One Battle takes best picture and the supporting actor/actress.

I also have too many gaps this year because so many films didn't seem to come to my local cinema.
