I’m not gonna yuck anyone’s yum. If a person likes these movies (as clearly, lots of people do), good for them. I saw the first avatar in the theater however the fuck long ago that movie came out now. It was pretty, and as you say, boring as hell. It’ll be the only Avatar film I ever see.

Can you share the dongle you got? I tried a couple of bt dongles and they SUCKED.

This is great. I agree with you on so many of these. Also, Falling Down was not any better in 1993.

I’m with you.

Nice recaps. Looking forward to the other posts. I actually laughed out loud at some of your comments.

There’s one I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing, and that’s Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.

There are a few that I’m curious about and will likely watch, but I’m very unlikely to go to the theater for them. Those are:

• The Odyssey
• The Bride
• Project Hail Mary (Listened to the audiobook and loved it. Cautious about the movie)

My wife is VERY excited about Scream 7 (she loves those movies), and we’ll definitely be seeing that one in the theater.

They’ll do it for maybe a year, then enshittify it like everything else (not that WB/MAX/HBO/Whatever-the-fuck-this-thing-is-called) isn’t already shitty, it’ll just get Netflix shitty.

Zed’s dead baby, Zed’s dead.

While I agree broadly with what you are saying, your comment ignores the externalities that society puts upon people that causes a lot of these feelings/habits/behaviours.

We still should do our best to not be this defeated. We should absolutely do our best to take care of ourselves mentally and physically, but for many this is far easier said than done because of the externalities.

What’s the actual story behind this meme template?

Kevin was smart enough to know you don’t call the police.

No joke.

I mean, sure, iron, etc in my food. But I wasn’t out in the garage gnawing a hunk off the bumper of the car.

How the fuck do you eat metal? (Yes I read the article. Still flabbergasted)

If the baseline vegan precept is no animal products of any kind, then I would agree nobody is actually vegan

Interestingly enough, this concept was used in pattern making for casting machine parts back before modern machining and parts manufacturing.

They were colloquially called shrink rulers, and looked like a standard ruler, but were actually longer to account for the shrinkage of the material being cast.

For example, say you’re casting a part from iron, which shrinks 1% as it cools, which amounts to 1/8 inch per foot.

An iron shrink rule would look standard, but actually measure a foot as 1 foot 1/8 inches to account for the shrinkage (this is an example and not meant to be actually accurate).
