My guess on plot: Aliens revealed themselves in the past but the governments sabotaged / hid this from the planet because it would have resulted in a loss of power or control. Or maybe the aliens realized humans weren’t ready and peaced out for a bit. So aliens are patient and decide to do...

It’s stupidly overtuned for videos - fantasy monster and battle shit that is fine in the PG13 LOTR movies is now suddenly too violent or whatever

Of course there have. There has also been theatrical adaptations of Army of Darkness. It doesn't mean you're going to cover every work of fiction ever adapted into a play lol

Yes, because it was an epic poem, not a play. Now if she was ignorant of famous Ancient Greek plays or playwrights, that would be a bigger red flag if she was majoring in film/theater studies since you would presume you would touch on that due to its foundational nature in the west in terms of...

Find me evidence that Yale requires knowledge of The Odyssey as a mandatory prerequisite for acceptance and/or it is a core required taught curriculum there and I’ll concede your point To recap mine: She didn’t school in the US until college. Works like Odyssey in the US are covered...

Not Grok - 95% of the prompts would get moderated

That just supports my point: A SAT -might-have a question involving the Odyssey (based on an AI answer). Something you take in high school. And even if it had a question about it, that doesn’t mean the test is actually querying your knowledge of the work. More than likely, it is testing your...

Hampshire College had a non-standard model of "students make up their degree/area of study" that started back in the 60s/70s. It was also expensive as fuck. They had quite a few alumni that had notable careers in the media/movie field, most famously Ken Burns and also a guy who used to be the...

It isn't very entertaining to watch is one issue there - I watched Shroud play in a bit when it was new and it lacked the watchability of a game like Arc Raiders or even Tarkov.

One key thing from that article is Starz and Lionsgate split, which meant Starz no longer had ownership rights to the show. That probably meant any future season would have cost them more money if they greenlit it and they'd probably rather spend the money on something that can replace the...

I think you guys underestimate the general knowledge level of a) random person in the west b) a drama/performing arts student who became an actor. If you weren't forced to study it in grade school or high school, how many would realistically know about Catcher in the Rye? Or MacBeth? Or Death...

The lights from the set are nice too - one of the only non-cold lights in the game. Can get some nice ambiance going.

Looking up her bio, she grew up/went to school mostly in Mexico and Kenya. That could explain why - I know US middle/high school used to teach The Odyssey in English class, but it might not be standard curriculum in those countries US college, outside of classes that might specifically cover...

I think the flashbacks worked well here because Grace is slowly remembering the real events: the other astronauts get shown as selfless and brave and he wants to bug out, which makes his choice to save Rocky at the possible cost of his own life much more meaningful

Supposedly the original runtime of the movie was a lot longer and they presumably went into more of the science - I wonder if they'll release an extended edition at some point

It sounds like he potentially had pneumonia or suffered some type of pulmonary embolism

Margaret Thatcher poisoned the well forever

Yes, the act preventing banks from pissing away your money after risking shit was a bad idea /s

The game is pretty fun for a while anyways - if you like games like Warframe then it may feel a bit familiar. The story is standard nonsense you see in many Korean games like this. Leveling up you can do whatever, but once you unlock hardmode stuff (which is what you run exclusively once it...

1st season had confirmed that supes aren't as resilient on the inside as outside. Deep was also only fast in the water, which you can forgive him from not being in the moment because he was probably scared shitless he was in the water at that point. That giant squid tentacle presumably went up...

Hughie/Starlight are more or less the same as the comic ending for them. Butcher killed MM, Frenchie, and Kimiko when he decided to do his plot to kill all supes after Homelander was defeated. Then Hughie kills Butcher to stop him from enacting his plan. They softened Butcher a lot from the...

Delayed until tomorrow

That link is pretty outdated - doesn’t even have characters like Hailey

You can buy skins and sometimes they have events where you can get a free skin

There are some funny memes because of that though. Someone did Voldemort at the end of Harry Potter saying those lines

To let her contribute to the final fight presumably - besides strength her only power is regen. They wouldn’t use Soldier Boy again and Annie presumably couldn’t survive the radiation. Only reason Kimiko could is she could repair the cellular damage

Reading the room temperature IQ posts in this forum no doubt

The showrunners didn't seem to know what they wanted to do with Noir. At first they sort of made him like the comics, then they tossed that and killed him off. Then they had Noir 2 which basically did nothing except interact with Deep for a couple seasons, then kill him off. Biggest reason...

Did you even watch the old 80s cartoon? lol

I agree - I don't mind many of the changes they made from the comic. The clone bit in the comic was kind of fucking dumb tbh - Homelander just getting more and more deranged as time goes on is a better arc, especially since you can draw parallels with many powerful dictators/kings/rulers in...

I listened to one of Barney Frank’s last interviews yesterday - guy still had good political instincts. He thought the Democratic Party needed to stop pushing the more fringe shit and get back to the blue collar advocate role that served it well for years

Krillin from DBZ would be proud of Hughie carrying on that tradition Fuck, I just realized the parallel: weaker dude that is frequently comic relief hooks up with a much more powerful blonde Ending was fine - they kept some of the main elements of the comic ending (Hughie and Butcher). The...

Nuance stuff can be good - the whole Margaritaville episode was basically going into the nuances of the subprime mortgage crisis

Surprised JP1 came out in 93, I could have sworn it was earlier. Probably mixing it up because Terminator 2 was first movie I watched more than once in the theater, and I also watched JP in the theater multiple times

That was also because shit stayed in the theater for like 4 months

He-man comes out like 2 weeks after this, so they could hurt box office if reviews are middling. Most common complaint I saw about this film is they wrote it so someone who has never seen the Mando show could follow along, but as a result it feels very detached from the show in many respects...

I haven't seen the episode to know what time frame they use, but I guess it depends on their engine and propulsion mass. If they have The Expanse engines (you can constantly maintain thrust for extended periods of time), then you could measure it in weeks. Really any sustained thrust for a...

Unless you're breaking physics, you still need to propel something out the end of your spaceship to move forward. Vacuum is a vacuum for a reason: hydrogen molecules are in space, but too spread out to actually be practical to harvest on the go to use as a propellant. You'd need to carry...
