So basically the ending of Wasp.

Solo made cannon that a sith isn't dead after being cut in half so I'd say anything is possible with regards to Snoke. I agree with most of the rest of you though, what's the motivation for anything going forward and who exactly are we supposed to be cheering for?

All the theaters I normally use all have peak pricing for any non-matinee now. $6 extra charge. Basically I have to see two movies a month now to break even which was easily doable this summer but might get tougher in the fall.

I don't have any problems with the silly jokes in the Star Wars movies (Jar Jar ones aside). It's just that, at that time and place, in the very opening scene it completely ruined the gravitas of the moment for me. It would be like if during the Kylo contemplating killing mom scene one of the...

Basically the only thing I'm still watching this season for is to see if Dom and Wendell eventually turn on each other, and if not, how having both of them in final 3 turns out. I think Dom has played the game slightly better and should win but Wendell will get the SJW vote and was probably...

I have to agree with all that but I'm wiling to cut Dominick and Wendell some slack. Thus far they are lesser versions of other players but that's because this season has mostly sucked. When you have multiple idols and everyone around you is playing terrible you don't need to make any big...

It's not so much that he's trying to solve a resource shortage as shock the universe into managing their populations themselves. By increasing resources or artificially introducing birth control he's not forcing the universe to correct itself as presumably the problem has just been kicked 50...

I also wonder if the "you should have gone for the head" is a hint at an alternate end after a rewind.

If that's true that would be crazy, but bringing back half the population at that point would essentially make Thanos' decision the correct one. Unless time is reversed in addition to the snap.

Yea, the "new" movie every day is how they word the restriction that you can't see a movie more than once. I can't really think of a better way to restrict the people who buy a ticket every day for the reward points but only actually watch a movie once a week or so. For normal users it's easy...

The piercing vibranium part bugged me a little bit. Within the same scene we seem them stab Vision but then get parried by a pair of batons. Since I'm not a total autist though, the thought passed in half a second and I enjoyed the rest of the fight and movie.

I thought the writers did an excellent job with the groupings of characters that aren't traditionally together. Mostly this was the GotG interactions but the Strange stuff was good too. Two years ago I would have paid for a Falcon/Winter Soldier buddy movie but now I want a WS/Rocket one.

Is this for everyone or just new customers? The new TOS I got pushed just said each title only once and one device per account. The once per title is easy to get around since that's not info that goes back in the CC transaction. Congrats I Feel Pretty on getting a metric for my 2nd Avenger's...

Yes to Drax. For some reason that "Why Gamora" fucking killed me.

Yea, if you subscribe to the rock/paper/scissors theory of superhero powers Thor was always weak against magic. It's why Loki was a good villain for him. Loki being vulnerable to Strange was more Strange catching him by surprise.

I think the drinking age in most of the former british colonies is 18 but i've always wondered at the alcohol rewards. Do they really give them full strength drinks or virgin/weak ones? 3+ weeks sober with no food and you'd get fucked up.

And that right there probably sums up all that's really needed from watching BP. If the wakandan force field is some key plot point they'll have to explain it in IW since it wasn't explained at all in BP.

Do we know if they show all the votes to the tribe even after Jeff says "that's enough?" I know they usually do a pretty good job of revealing all the minority votes to draw out tension but in a vote like this that is 4-1 do they actually show that last vote to the tribe? In this case a smart...

Perhaps the biggest problem with the 7-9 trilogy for me is I'm not even sure after two movies what an end to this set even looks like. Originals ended with emperor's death and end of empire. Prequels ended with making of Vader. How does 9 end in a way that is meaningful for 7-9? In these new...

Many of the MCU "A-Listers" are on the A list because of the MCU. Evans wasn't A-list based on his F4 work and Downey was arguably a has been before IM. Had anyone heard of Tom Holland before Civil War? Just because some rumored Surfer isn't well known doesn't mean it can't be true. Maybe...

I don't know who that first guy is but that isn't metallica.

Have they said how long this movie is? It feels like there is a ton of plot just to get to the gratuitous Thanos fight scenes (and it appears there's at least two). I have faith in Feige and the Russo's but just the sheer number of characters in this is overwhelming.

I don't know about the past several years but they used to do most of their casting from the aspiring actor ranks so even if they know anything about survivor it's doubtful they'd be willing to come in a bit flabby to make life easier. There's a reason the fatties/uglies are the ones tagged as...

Babbage's/Software Etc had a book section with walk through books that helped solve some of those ridiculous puzzles. I don't know if anyone ever bought those books because they were all tattered and worn from kids reading them in store. I remember using them for some Zork and Planetfall...

I guess maybe it isn't too bad then. Early game you're less likely to face instant death jumping into an FTL inhibitor but with the dependence on hyperlanes any defensive fleet worth its salt in a chokepoint system will camp the inbound point. I feel like I should know this answer but can you...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but this seems an overly harsh fix to an early game only problem. If I'm in a war of conquest late game I have to basically suicide a manned science ship into an opponent's core system in order to invade? Or does a sensor range >1 bypass the lack of intel?

I fully realize that the autists will just find something else to rage about but the whole thing could be solved with like two lines near the beginning of the fight. "Their shields are blocking our projectiles...we'll have to 'gravity' bomb them." "We're inside the capital ship's gravity...

Article about MoviePass's business model which I think most of us assumed. They are losing money but are slowly working contracts with studios for promotion and metrics. They are also pressuring theaters for a cut of concessions. For example they claim that MoviePass accounts for 62% of AMC's...

I agree. Plus there's a reasonable argument that Vikings fans from across the northland are more likely to travel to MSP in the dead of winter over fans from somewhere else. The locals will ensure all the non-game festivities are well attended too.

The real kicker is that the kickoff spread was Vikings -5.5 so that kneeldown for the PAT made NO the gambling winner.

2018 taxes. If you're expecting a bigger refund in April you'll have to wait a year but you should see bigger paychecks in Jan as less is withholded.

I know it's kind of how the comic ended but I think it will be a weak finale if Thanos "wins" but then the whole war is undone by Nebula or whomever and all the various characters are freed up for their individual movies as if nothing happened.

It looks like the $6.95/mo but prepay a year was just their Thanksgiving sale. They're back to $9.95 a month one month at a time now. Without the prepay it seems like a no brainer. Star Wars alone will get you your December's worth plus my family typically goes to a couple movies over...

They have the Inhumans and several others that have appeared on TV. I think they were originally slated for the big screen but might just be relegated to TV only now. edit: I suppose depending on his fate in the two Avenger movies Adam Warlock would be a good candidate for some movies.

One thing I don't get with these movies is the dependence on comic plot lines. I bet a very small percentage of Avengers viewers are familiar with the source material. I mean we're talking about only 6 issues from 25 years ago. If the MCU showrunners come up with new plot lines that fit the...

Yea, it will be interesting to see if they pick another big, long-term plot after Infinity War to unite the universe. We've already seen the basic blueprint though with antman, spiderman, and the other new to the MCU characters. Have the more established characters show up in cameos while also...

Saw it yesterday. Loved it. The only thing that felt off to me was human Bruce. I like Ruffalo and I get that he would be disoriented by what happened but it seemed like his personality was totally different than his avengers appearances. He works as a straight man to IM's eccentricity but...

One of the best comments from the reddit thread: Can't have a disappointing world cup if you don't even qualify. (taps forehead)

I'm not sure being a "private" university offers any protection here. With very few exceptions (places like Hillsdale College) they all take federal money in one form or another. edit add: the threshold I saw for accepting federal money is $10k, which is peanuts for even a small private school.
