The Chinese character who makes that offer then immediately threatens to kill the heroes if they don't comply in the same scene (screenwriting note: hilarious that they didn't let that ruse play out for even one more scene). I was

I myself and quite a few other parents of 0-2 are freaked out still, despite the statistical evidence. Seeing one pic of an intubated baby is some real heavy shit for us. But vaccines for 0+ are on the way, possibly as early as EOY. At that

Such a good point. As a burgeoning dramatist (lol) Square's SNES RPG work did so much for me. Massive, sprawling stories made very engaging by interaction. Point of fact, a Chrono Trigger fanfic was one of the first stories I wrote. On

Great art comes from limitations. As Spielberg said, if he had access to CG when he made Jaws the shark would've been in every frame.

Pity on anyone who was fool enough to work with the Americans.

Well the problem is that people who are purveying information in this country at large - but especially between Paul and his base - is a lack of nuance. Calling cloth masks or "OTC" masks ineffective, esp. w/o pointing out th

If ANTIFA or the 3%'ers were backed by a company with strong links to China or Russia, wouldn't you want to know?

First thing I thought of too. A 'prank' that has far greater consequences for the target than swatting.

I thought the same thing, but OTOH most of them have screens set on raise-to-wake so you can't sneak a peek at the time anyhow.

Am I the guy with the bong in his lap if I say that any man-made structure should be considered visual pollution?

Honestly not the worst idea but I wouldn't be shocked if studios are heavily influencing prices. Disney recently started demanding 60% cut of tickets. Those ticket sales are probably somewhat of a backbone to the theater chains, but th

Not a lawyer but you need likeness rights to reproduce an actor's face. I.e. Peter Cushing's estate gave permission for him to "appear" in Rogue One. But maybe it doesn't apply to parody(?) https://youtu.

Many folks say to just take that money you'd spend on tuition and make a short film. What's your opinion on that? I got an AS in film production, and that was cheaper than making a mid-budget short film, and also helped make conta

It's hard. I love that the kindle app is on iphone and syncs w the ereader... but really the best thing is to keep the reader on my person. Kind of pushes me into the thought of "I'm lugging this thing around I had better use

If you could Thanos-snap every drug in the world from aspirin to beer to crack you'd have people huffing or spinning around in their yards until they puked just for the buzz. Proper education on the effects of all drugs will always tru

And let's face the facts here: people of color are most adversely effected by weed convictions. While I'm not buying that it's all a white supremacist conspiracy, if drug convictions and sentencing were distributed evenly acr

You're not entirely wrong but you'd be a lot more right if you read the article and actually refuted the specifics of it, not just Jacobin's political leanings.... to be fair if this was from the other side and written on Bre

Yeah, the article has some great points, but Jacobin is very far into it's own politics. An article on the same topic using most of the same points with less inflammatory language from a more mainstream source would be far more effecti

The US would love another Batista-esque favorable warlord/strongman. Under both the present regime and American interventionism the people will lose.

Not long ago Team America came and set up Batista, a guy so crooked that Cubans revolutionized and have been relatively tolerant of the also very crooked Castro regime (or at least too poor/hungry to do anything about).

I'm very curious what this diet looks like, moreso after you mentioned that you're not using supermarkets.

Yup, the classics always get more attention in retrospect because they're the ones that survive. If all the superhero stuff is depressing remember that from the invention of cinema until New Hollywood in the 70's every third piece

Age range on here and tech-based outlook is much more mature than most of what's on Reddit. In many ways HN feels like Reddit when it first started. The audience and commenters were very similar to what HN is now; a lot of tech-y peopl

Which is a 1:1 with the age demo of the site lowering precipitously. When I noticed the uptick of memes and posts about living with parents and going to HS I knew there was a big change on the site. There are still many good individual subr

You're taking way too much of a good faith reading that comment. There's way more nuance than "communism bad," though it is very true that sanctions and the Castros and their cronies have both done great harm to Cuba.
