Could I have those Tensor cores for something useful, though?

So we’re just going to skip 4?

Dafuq is a copilot+ pc?

I read thats as Poles and Dances, so you know where my head is at, but I was like, “wow AoE has really changed.”

The original is still available. It’s not being erased, it’s being removed so a new generation can enjoy an old movie without confronting the casual transphobia that used to be considered funny.

The scenes removed are first where he meets a cross-dresser and discovers she has a penis, and then later he meets another woman and gropes her crotch to confirm she does not have a penis.

Given the current political climate, where trans individuals are being demonized and political leaders are demanding access to your genitals, it’s not funny anymore.

Epic Games? The place with all the free games? Why would I buy something from the free store?

I think that’s the fun of the movie. It’s not trying to recapture the suspense or tension of the original. It’s a natural evolution in a world of monsters. In the first movie, the crew are just people trying to survive on a ship in space with a terrifying novel threat. Any other monster movie sequel, they find new victims and run it back, but the characters in Aliens react as one should to a new threat. Gear up and go at them with soldiers and weapons.

It’s still terrifying because you and they know what lurks in the wet shadows. They are prepared to fight it which is why it’s an action movie, but it’s still very much an Alien sequel.

I thought it was some sort of sky full of stars background.

Nano users unite and edit a few lines of code, but that’s it.

Yeah, I also have nightmares about the apocalypse. Ever since I had kids, I would have dreams about inescapable volcanoes or tidal waves and just feel completely hopeless. I don’t need to watch movies about it. See also: 2012, The Walking Dead, The Road, A Quiet Place, the Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact, The Mist, etc.

I can’t bring myself to watch it. I saw a trailer, and my blood started to boil.

I wasn’t going to bother, but this kind of makes me want to delete my Facebook account.

I’d love it if they would do more Halloween specials, like a live action Marvel Zombies, or a Legion of Monsters one-off.

I didn’t know about the cult, but that seems on-brand.

I mean, I’ve seen him be good in things. But he takes himself way too seriously to be fucking Skeletor. Look at his take on Joker (coincidentally another Mark Hamill voice). I mean, if we don’t get a floating skull and a bandolier/mankini with a gravelly whine, then what are we even doing here?

I actually think he was perfectly cast for Morbius. He’s kind of a ridiculous macabre character, but it only works if the world around him is all bright colors and superheroes. Like, he’s most effective when he fights Spider-Man or when he teams up with normal heroes to guide them through the dark places.

Imagine putting Leto’s Morbius into the Werewolf By Night special next to Jack Russel and Elsa Bloodstone. Given good writers, he could have worked. Matt Smith also gave a good perfomance that was horribly wasted on bad writing and direction.

If the MCU finds a way to fold in some of the Sonyverse, I wouldn’t mind a Midnight Sons film with Leto’s Morbius, Nic Cage as an elder Johnny Blaze, Moon Knight, Werewolf, Man-Thing, and Bloodstone. Drop Cumberbatch in for a little Strange Exposition, and you’d have to spray bitter apple on the props and scenery.

I’ve never heard of the lead actor, but he looks the part. Idris Elba as Duncan, cool, Allison Brie as Evil Lyn, interesting choice, and for Skeletor we have… Nope, I’m out.

That’s like saying furries are pretending to be animals. Like, yeah, no shit, that’s what a furry is.

Conservativism isn’t an ideology, it’s a grift. Conservatives sell the idea that whatever policies and regulations help them are good because they are part of some glorious tradition, and then any policies and regulations that don’t help them are evil government oppression. You’re on their team, or you’re the enemy. That’s always what conservativism has been. Narcissism and fascism talking like stoics, bearing a holy book and draped in the flag.

It’s more obvious now because Trump isn’t good at pretending. Imagine a furry convention where everyone there is trying to imagine they are really animals, and then there’s Trump running the show, wearing an ill-fitting blue suit, long tie, and a headband with cat ears. And then he’s like “bark, I’m a tiger or whatever. If you don’t think I’m the best lion ever, you can get the fuck out.” And all the furries who don’t play along are exiled from the convention. “Are you a lion or a tiger?” Banished! “Did you just bark?” BANISHED!

And it’s possible because none of them ever were real animals. They have always been pretending because it feels good to pretend. Some have been better pretenders, others more committed to their role, and some have been pretending for so long that they don’t even realize they are pretending. But to keep pretending, they have to bow to their self-proclaimed god-king emperor.

Apologies to any furrys for the analogy. I know furries don’t actually think they are animals.

Look, I enjoyed the Fugitive, but the whole “Hollywood doesn’t make em like they used to” bullshit is overplayed. There are many recent films of varying quality that could be described as action thrillers for an adult audience. And if anyone made a film to much like The Fugitive, it would be unfavorably compared to the original.

This author is using nostalgia to boil up some discontent in order to drive engagement, including my own little rant about how stupidly wrong it is. Better to ignore it as insipid tripe than to argue the points.

The animated shows were all pretty decent, some really good, but there is a lot of content.
