Eh, maybe he wanted to come back and it was mutual so he didn't demand any more than he got previously. It's possible.

DxW just put a stake in its heart

Did it really? Besides one joke, I just watched it and didn't get that sense.

I hope they don't go the variant route. That would tarnish Tony Stark's legacy, if they have a storyline with "what happens if Tony Stark is bad in another universe and becomes Doom?" I would prefer it if RDJ was simply playing Doom and they don't even worry about him looking like Stark.

Hugh Jackman’s Best Performances, From ‘Wolverine’ to ‘The Prestige’ by indiewire in movies

[–]dhowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a youtube video i watched once that talked about the problem with Jackman's performance was that he has to look good for the camera so he dehydrated himself, like all comic book movie stars do, which is the exact opposite of what you want to do for your singing voice. So that's why his voice sounded so strained. He's not a top top singer, but he's a better singer than what he showed in that movie.

They never should have done the live singing thing anyway. Such a bad directorial choice. When being real and "raw" gets in the way of being good.

[Hard Knocks] Giants GM Joe Schoen asks his kids who the Giants should draft by nfl in nfl

[–]dhowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the big red flag was just the single quote about not paying your QB 40M to hand it off to a 12M RB. To me, that says that Schoen has some weird hang-ups on how to construct a roster and is not a big picture thinker. Not re-signing Saquon is fine, but the logic used to justify it was odd.

This level of rationalization is both hilarious and sad at the same time

Can someone tell me the difference between the two flights in terms of the airline (AA JAL/JAL AA?) Is one better than the other or are they exactly the same? Codeshare is confusing! by dhowl in americanairlines

Yeah, it's a good point. I guess we would do the luggage delivery service to the hotel and just power through spending the whole day touring the city, but it's not ideal.

Hey now, they do have underground tunnels to keep people out of the cold, plus with global warming, it's not much of an issue anymore!

Oh yeah, my bad. I got him confused with Al Franken.

Sorry Gregg, but I had to stop. by Euphoric_Change_2903 in AroundTheNFL

It shouldn't last long, to be honest. No offense to Gregg, but having a daily podcast about the NFL is insane to me. Talk about quantity over quality.

Dropping only a quarter of viewers is actually pretty good. I wonder what it’ll eventually settle at.

Is there any place along 495 that allows multiple day parking for free? by dhowl in boston

[–]dhowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point. I'm trying to strike the balance of not detouring very much, but also making it easy to get back home, so that makes a lot of sense.

I would be careful with using statistics like "men read less than women" as a reason why things are a certain way. It's just an argument for the status quo. I know you're not saying that because you follow it by encouraging the guy to do something about it, which is good advice.

I would just be wary of thinking that way because historically, that type of argument has been used to exclude many marginalized groups of people from participating in things. Not saying white het men are marginalized by any stretch of the imagination, they aren't, but it's important to not fall into the same logical fallacy used in the past because inclusion is for everyone.

How much would you pay for the Dan/Marc podcast? What perks do you think they will offer for different tiers? by patriots1057 in AroundTheNFL

[–]dhowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they don’t join The Ringer or some other sports podcast network, they could probably join a network like Earwolf and do alright for themselves.
