  1. Only if B29s had the speed and maneuverability of hot-air balloons.
  2. Just checking...nobody is ok with nipples on costumes though...right?
  3. "In space, no one can hear a Viking scream."
  4. My wife turned away because she is subject to migraines and has trouble with sharp light/dark contrasts (like a bright white screen in the dark), but she didn't feel it ruined the movie. Perhaps he could've done the scene with some softer hues.
  5. The tactic was discussed fairly early in the thread, as I recall. I know I brought it up among others. Obviously, one wonders why giant hyperspace-capable drones aren't used consistently in any major space battle. Additionally, bombers that move so mind-numbingly slow as those in the beginning of the movie would never, EVER survive any fight.
  6. That pic has already been CGI'd. Josh Brolin is actually playing the character.
  7. TSA spills ashes of NFL player's mother during baggage check
  8. One reason why I hate Homeowners associations
  9. Trump pardons ranchers whose conviction sparked the armed standoff at Oregon refuge
  10. ...and yet, does anyone really believe the Pym's are dead? Or, for that matter, Black Panther, the GotG, Spider-Man, etc?
  11. Yes, clearly he's undermining this thread's ability to remain on topic.
  12. Well, he did attempt to return. Let's remember that after he sought a 2nd opinion (which all pro athletes should do), the new doctor gave a different diagnosis. One that S.A. execs clearly didn't like and they clearly handled it poorly. There were snide comments by Pop and his teammates, with Tony Parker (a guy who nearly broke the locker room up 2010 by sexting a teammates wife leading to two divorces) essentially calling him a liar and soft while purportedly having intimate details of his condition from a S.A. doctor perpective. Also, he stands to lose an extra $70 million if he signs anywhere but SA., AND you can throw tens of millions on top of that because Texas has no income tax. Finally, he would have to have planned all this with at least a year and a half left on his deal which is somewhat laughable IMO. Something pretty awful must have been done on the part of S.A. for him to make this play IMO. The fact that a massive breach of trust is at least partly a factor and its trumping $90 million is somewhat laudable on his part IMO. Even the best and most professional organizations can become arrogant and condescending when a hint of disobedience flares up.
  13. Billy Dee Williams will return as Lando
  14. Solid effort. Liked that they brought in Foster to the MCU. Ending was a little hokey. Meaningful end credits scene, presumably Scott will be saved in Avengers 4: The Undusting.
  15. It also ignored the idea of how useful supers could be in just regular, everyday jobs. You can't use your powers at all? Or, you just can't use them to protect others and fight crime? Mr. Incredible would be a hell of a construction worker, for example, yet he is forced to work in insurance?
  16. However, while he IS the king of flopping, he is also, by far, the most fouled player so far in the World Cup. You have to be unfairly physical with him to slow him down.
  17. Yes. For example, most Americans think installing the Metric System is...unreasonable. ?
  18. ...and so it begins.... PS: Been there. PSPS: ...and by begins, I actually mean ends....
  19. My last name is Thomas. THOMAS! THOMAS, DAMMIT, NOT THOMPSON!!! 49 years on this planet and people constantly say THOMPSON! It's not a hard name, in fact, it's quite bleeping common! Actually, I would hazard a guess and say that Thomas is far more common than Thompson. If you don't think you actually know my last name, please....ASK! Oh, and don't even get me started on the people I've very politely corrected yet, STILL THEY SAY... THOMPSON!
  20. Check out Spectral on Netflix. A decent, albeit completely implausible, sci-fi flick where the resident genius is overflowing with quiet competence.
