  1. King Shark is an immortal and he is being played by Sylvester Stallone, so I think he is pretty safe also.
  2. Oh, yes. You just came across it. Minding your own business, searching for home repair videos, and there is was. Absolutely. 😇
  3. I think that they could have gotten down to 3 and half hours like Titanic. Ditch the Martian Manhunter scenes which while cool Easter eggs didn't add much to the movie at hand, and Knightmare, which since we already know Darkseid is on his way is not really necessary. At 3½ IMO Zack Snyder's JL would have been positively enough received to have saved the franchise. The question is would that have been a good thing. There is something to be said for all the DC movies existing in a common multiverse, but not necessarily the same universe. Personally, I don't want to see Captain Marvel's body crucified next to the gate to Darkseid's fortress. BOP Harley Quinn does not need to be the same one as the Suicide Squad movies even though they are played by the same actress. Yes, having seen Snyder's JL, I would kind of like to see it's sequel. However, in the name of prying the DCCU away from his grimdark view of reality, I think I might be willing to forego the experience
  4. I assumed that you already were.
  5. If you haven't already, you might want to check out the Casually Comics channel on Youtube.
  6. The original theatrical release had a Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 40% and an audience 71%, whereas Zack Snyder's version scores are 73% and 96% respectively. I have read review of Zack Snyder's version that ultimately give it a thumbs down, but still call it better than the theatrical release. Of course to call it better than the theatrical release is to damn with faint praise. I prefer to praise it with faint damnation, and say that it isn't as good as Avengers: Endgame. I found Snyder's version to be a good movie on it's own merits. However, where A:E gained lots of power by referencing back to plot points made previous Marvel movies, both versions of Justice League are hampered WB rush to create something like The Avengers without laying down the groundwork. As a result the movie has to do bunch of heavy lifting that should have been done by an Aquaman movie and a Flash movie and a Cyborg movie. IMO, the Zack Snyder does a fairly good job with this lifting, and the DC universe would be in a much stronger position if it had been the film released back in 2017. Nonetheless, it could have been much better.
  7. I hope she is doing alright.
  8. *Shrug* Well, I know that they regularly give human sacrifices to the oil industry, but mostly they are people that they want to get rid of anyway. So, does that qualify as actual religious devotion? I'm not an expert on these things. Acts of ritualistic violence, stadiums full of chanting and cheering throngs, colorful ceremonial costumes, so yes, clearly religious ceremony. Who am I to contradict untold numbers of future archeologist and anthropologist?
  9. The standard for negligence in this case would be failure to act as an ordinary, prudent energy provider would under the circumstances. So if they can show that energy providers abiding by industry standards would have weather proofed their equipment given the same chance of facing serious cold, then in theory they have a case that they can win. Of course it is Texas, and they all but worship big oil there, so it is likely to be an uphill fight even if legal negligence did occur.
  10. The Yazidis Finally Get To Bury Their Slain
  11. I know, but if they got in after the stock was already on the way up they could lose most of what they invested after the bubble pops. Not a real problem as long as they were only using money that they could afford to lose, but people aren't always sensible like that.
  12. This is a relief to me. I was wondering how many of these reddit investors were going to be left holding the bag when the game that they were playing with the hedge funds ended and prices returned to some semblance of sanity.
  13. Since the rest of the team is extremely white and mostly guys, I think Tempo would be their best choice. Not sure why they want all three of the Summers boys on one team.
  14. No, she didn't. He didn't even know that he had a sister. Her first attack on Asgard happened either before he was born or when he was very young.
  15. Finally Revealed, Fox News Wrongful Death Settlement For The Killing Of Seth Rich
  16. How about pipe bombs? Does your average prepper have a couple of those laying around?
  17. Some of the people who stormed the Capitol came prepared to take hostages. What the frell were they doing if not attempting a coup?
  18. I also got HBOMax to watch WW84, but after hearing about the download problems I opted to watch Doom Patrol instead. I have only watched the first two episodes so far, but IMHO they were excellent. If the show maintains this level of quality, it is going to wind up on my list of favorite TV shows.
  19. Darn! Now I have to get an entirely new set of price quotes.
  20. Just now? I have been getting price quotes for guillotine construction from carpenters, and was about to set up a KickStarter fund to pay for them.* * - Just joking, Dan.
  21. Whenever Mr Carter passes it will still be too early.
  22. Please show me some numbers. The numbers that I found (link) only go to 1997, and they show an industry that has had good years and bad years but generally sells about 80 million physical copies a year, but has really grown their TPB and digital copy business. In overview the industry appears to be doing fine.
  23. Well, the scary part is that in the continental United States our cases per capita is rate is the 16th lowest. So there are 34 states doing worse than us*. * - If the math doesn't seem to work out, it is because I am including DC as one of the places doing better than us.
  24. Lot of good suggestions already. Any collection of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Getz/Gilberto by, well, Stan Getz and João Gilberto
  25. Also, a presidential pardon is only good for federal crimes. The SDNY is charging him with a lot of things at the state level.
