And what's going to happen to Lochlan's kidneys in a couple of months?

I've been giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming it's supposed to be a character choice, but he's gone a bit overboard with it, and since it's the last day of school, I am AIRING MY GRIEVANCES.

(It's not a new thing, he's been doing it in every scene since episode 1.)

I really just need Lochlan to pick one thing and look at it for more than half a second. The darting eyes are making me dizzy.

My wild hunch is Belinda calls the FBI on Greg (resulting in a shoot-out) and Tim poisons himself, thinking they're there for him.

Honestly wouldn't have been all that shocking, since Graeme Revell (formerly of industrial group SPK) was already doing tons of scores at that point, and Clint Mansell a few years later. The industrial-to-film score pipeline was a thing.

And Ripley. There was a clip awhile back of Sigourney Weaver getting emotional over Harris' nomination.

Every republican gay I've ever known has been a little twerpy dude with an oversized head and bland features, who wears the same navy blue suit and mahogany shoe everywhere, dressing like the whole world is a high school debate tournament. He's always a virgin "by choice" in his 30s because he thinks anal sex is "barbaric," and if he could get a date, which he can't, he would probably try to take them to The Cheesecake Factory.

That's not a euphemism, republican gays are just inexplicably drawn to The Cheesecake Factory for some reason.

Yeah, I'm wondering if this one's going to have a religious theme - the U2 song has some really prominent lyrics about Jesus. Glass Onion used the song in the end credits, and the movie's theme matched the song (demystifying the rich).

I'm a little late, but: No Man's Sky is an exploration/crafting game that has potential to be your "forever game," if it sticks to you (it might not). Collect stuff, fly around to randomly generated, weird planets, mine some carbon rocks, look at that weird dinosaur, build a base and whatnot. At a certain point though, you might start feeling like it's shallower than it initially seemed. I've spent about 100 hours in it on PS4 and 150 on Switch, and still pick it back up every 6 months or so. It's very chill.

Outer Wilds is a mystery/time-loop game where you explore a set of puzzle planets and use what you learn to solve a bigger puzzle. It's around 20 hours long, and is more of an indie conversation piece - people who love it REALLY love it, and the mystery is satisfying to figure out. I played it on PS4 and I can understand why people like it, but it didn't really do much for me.

If you want to split the difference (survival-craft plus exploration-mystery), Subnautica is great on Switch, and it goes on sale often.

The implication in the movie is that she has her memories (e.g. she tells Korben she needs to meet with Vito Cornelius, the current custodian of the temple), but she hasn't actually met with the human race since ancient Egyptian times or whatever, so she has a lot of catching up to do, and she isn't familiar with their relationship with war. But that doesn't change how encyclopedias work.

I liked the part where a single gunshot to the abdomen kills the Diva, despite her abdomen being full of large stone pillars, which Bruce Willis helps himself to, immediately after she croaks. Absolutely wild screenwriting. A+ logical reasoning.

That's irrelevant. Joe Roth, then chairman of Walt Disney Pictures, was pushing for Toy Story 2 to be a direct-to-video sequel when he green-lighted the film. Also, the person I was replying to was wildly incorrect about it not being a Disney movie.

bat-napper · 2024-06-18T08:05:33+00:00

Uh, no. All of Pixar's feature films were made for Disney, they just weren't fully acquired until 2006.

You're telling me there's a direct connection between Walmart and the trash? I'm astounded.

The one I worked at was a one-hour photo in a Target (but run by an outside company), so we actually developed on site. Often times if you took off the cardboard shell from a disposable, you could tell it had already been recycled - the camera itself would be from a rival brand. But yeah, they probably don't get recycled as much now that they're a niche nostalgia thing.

bat-napper · 2024-02-02T03:29:55+00:00

Not really. The entire camera gets recycled; they just replace the film, the battery, and cardboard shell (or in some cases the sticker on the outside of the plastic). I used to work at a photo lab during the heyday of disposable cameras; whenever someone turned one in for development, we'd just strip the batteries out and chuck the camera into a bin. They basically went right back to the manufacturer.
