You're absolutely right but also it works - stock went up 4% immediately. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent etc etc.

Hey can you point out which unions consistently protect pedos & wifebeaters, and often even elect them to positions of great authority?

I find Netflix editing a joke out of Final Destination, which isn't a Netflix film in any way, to be far more egregious. I was surprised they could even do that legally - I assume it was done with the parent studio's permission.

Francis Ford Coppola said something to the effect of how having a bunch of kids served as a huge financial and artistic motivator for him. Not sure I'd recommend in that my kid is 2 and I'm not sure if I've done even 1000 wor

Plenty of female otaku/anime fans out there but anecdotally I'd say that it's still primarily male. Nowhere near as male as it was in the 90's/00's, though.

Certainly none of them are a patch on the original, which stands alone as a totemic duck press of action/sci-fi cinema, but Reloaded has some really fun wtf ideas that twisted my brain in the same way that the original did, as well as

There's like 30 ongoing threads right now about COVID. But yes, someone getting sent to indefinite detention by the state is the same as someone asking you to mask up at the Arby's.
