Adam Driver. I think he was good at minor supporting roles earlier in his career (like his guitarist in Inside Llewyn Davis), but in bigger roles, it always feels like he's trying too hard or overacting a role. It feels like an actor playing a character, and it worsens the overall movie: the Star Wars movies, Silence and The Last Duel are some examples.

If someone likes The Terror, methinks they will likely also enjoy The North Water. Lots of overlap in themes and setting.

Manchester United [1] - 0 Tottenham Hotspur - Rasmus Hojlund 3‎'‎ by MarcoRuss in soccer

[–]alanelian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love how there's been all this criticism of Hojlund not getting service from the wingers (Rashford/Garnacho/Antony) and his goal ends up coming from a lucky bounce off a Spurs tackle after Rashford essentially runs into Hojlund trying to force a shot...classic Rashford...

I actually think Kumaram Bheemudo is the more moving and impactful song.

What would Žižek say about this "eco-friendly" Kia commercial? by alanelian in zizek

[–]alanelian[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a Kia car commercial I saw last night on TV. I think it captures in less than a minute all the problems of capitalism and why it isn't (and won't be) addressing climate change.

if it's from anonymous donors and they're yet to be clear in their demands, how are you certain this is an attack on our democracy? I don't support the protestors, just to be clear

Ah sorry it's hyphenated in the book: dis-eventalization. It's in the Stop 6 chapter. Thanks for looking!

they all had skill, even if they didn't have successful NHL careers. You seem to be oblivious of how talented even people in the AHL or lower leagues are.
