    Yeah, the shirt being the same may just be a little too intentional. Maybe they aren't the same person after all. They seem to be pushing the "William is MIB" narrative a little too much lately. So it's probably not going to be the case.

    Is jumping the shark still a thing? If so, that's my overall feeling about this season.

    Man dissolves in acidic water at Yellowstone

    I remember reading about this when it first happened back in like June or something. Get with the times!

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    I noticed that the sound was constantly changing volume. Not for the audience, but for the hosts. Always fluctuating.

    I'm about 5 minutes in. The show is gorgeous with Amazon's UHID Video. 2k, baby!

    You fuckers got me into Keijo. I tore through the first 6 episodes and now I want more. I wasn't even interested in the show at first, but damnit, I like it.

    Arrival (2016)

    I tried to watch this last night. Tickets were sold out, so I went to see Hacksaw Ridge instead. It was an afterthought, but a very good one at that.

    Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

    I saw this last night, and it was very good. Way to go, Mel Gibson! Anyway, it was gory, but not too bad. It was very reminiscent of the starting scene of Saving Private Ryan in its gore. I enjoyed telling my wife about how it was after I got home. She's Japanese, so I got to say her people...

    Marvel's The Inhumans

    it looks like we can forget about the Inhumans moving joining the Phase Four line-up, as Marvel and ABC have officially announced The Inhumans TV show, which will premiere exclusively in IMAX theaters next summer before launching as a weekly series on ABC. The official Marvel site reports that...

    We only won't like it because it means there's a year+ until the next episode.

    The Identity Thread

    I don't really put too much thought into my own identity. I know who I am, but that's about the extent of it. Due to work, I started telling customers that I'm the white guy because I'm the only white person that works there. Aside from that, I'm tall (6'4) with a shaved head. I have a...

    Is the Democratic party still a relevant political party?

    Realistically, the majority of the country is way more democratic than republican. If Trump had not won this election, the Republican party would need a complete overhaul. It still does because the majority of their representatives aren't sympathetic to the cause. Dems will (almost) always...

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    When I saw it a send time on Tuesday night, it was a full house. And this was a very large theater. Easily 300 people (if not more). This is one of those screens that's like 80-90 feet wide, and the theater itself is easily 100x100.

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    I saw this again last night at a different theater. I need to agree with Royal in regards to the visuals playing a huge part in the overall take of the movie. This theater was also 3D, but the quality wasn't nearly as good as the Imax that I saw it on for opening night. As a result, the...

    Is your TV mounted on an interior wall, or exterior? By that I mean, are both sides of the wall inside, or is one the outside of your house/apartment? If it's an interior wall, doing "shenanigans" is no problem at all. Unless the builder of your property went completely overboard, you don't...

    There is so much hate out there. The show is good. Stop searching for reasons not to like it. Be entertained with what you get and you won't be sorry. I like the show 100% still. Last night was just as good as the 1st episode.

    You buy a brand new TV with sound system... what movie do you watch on it first

    Technically, you're right. The first video I put on at all was Disc 1 of BBC Earth (Blu-Ray) just to see how crazy it would look. And it did look fantastic. I watched the same scene over and over to really see all the details. I didn't watch a full episode, though. But episode 2, Mountains...

    Something interesting happened last night. Granted, all parties involved were intoxicated, but I'll share anyway. I have a friend that's extremely anti-Trump. It isn't that he's Democratic, but he just despises the man and wants him to lose. That said, he is EXTREMELY sensitive about...

    Ajin is a strong season. I didn't think the close of this episode would come close do doing that. It seemed really out of place, but makes more sense when the 2nd "event" happened.

    Those are amazing prices. You should get the C6 instead of the B6. It's curved and does 3D. The bonus 3D is the exact same price as the B6, which happens to be flat. I'm really glad I went with the C6. I watched Civil War the other day, and that airport scene was fucking awesome in 3D.

    I really believe that her "awakening" is actually part of her script. She is intended to wake up every single time. It's what adds intrigue to her character, and draws players to her.

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    You're kind of describing Sunwell and the area immediately outside of it. They did a great job flushing that zone out. Granted, I haven't played WoW in a few years, but the memory of Sunwell and the huge area outside full of daily quests rings true. It wasn't a half ass attempt at all.

    Just a heads up, there are 2 after credits scenes. One ties into the next Marvel movie. The other ties into a future Doctor Strange title.
