I would encourage you to not speak so assuredly about how successful an adaptation can or cannot be based solely on source material.

Filmmaking is hard work, made even more difficult by executive producers who think their opinion should be weighted over that of the creative team. I’ve seen this first-hand, and I’ve watched projects I’ve been excited to take on turn sour.

It happens all the time.

Most modern vehicles know where you are regardless of whether or not you’re paying for any location-based services.

Would you consider maps to be operation or entertainment? I personally wouldn’t mind the cluster fitting in directions so I have fewer places to look while I drive.

I don’t hate it. Sin City had a great look. We need more hard noir.

As someone who has seen it all—especially the infinity saga several times over, but generally not impressed by what has come since—this was pretty fun.

It felt like lower stakes, even though technically the threat was essentially world-ending, and in a nightmarish way. And there’s something to be said for a movie that makes you empathize with the least-liked character in the bunch.

You can be cynical about the acknowledgement of mental health concerns in modern life, or you can maybe see it as a progressive move that might open the MCU up to more kinds of stories. The kind of stuff we get a bit of in the TV shows, actually.

I will say, however, that the campaign billing this as the “A24 of MCU movies” was a bit of an over-sell.

Was hoping I’d see this comment.

Where’s Balboni

Parents are the assholes.

I couldn’t get past the first episode. I tried twice.

Ah I see. Do you have “require attention” turned on in the Face ID settings?

Dude, you’re gettin a… iPhone?

I have the 637 desktop charger on my nightstand, which looks like a sphere, and in addition to the MagSafe has three outlets, and 2x USB + 2x USBC. A couple years in and no complaints.

When their subscription numbers taper, I’m sure they’ll find a way to get over it.

Thanks.

They made a ridiculously expensive Amazon show that turned out kinda shitty. I’m sure they’re happy to change their tune and get back to the slam-dunk shit they know well.

Diabolical

They should set its price level based on how much value it adds.

I have used 1Blocker for years and have been relatively content. I may be grandfathered into a lower price of like $5/yr, though. So I’m not sure about the cost being worth it for a newcomer who can’t get a deal like that.

I don’t want thinner I want lighter.
