I yelled at some dickless teenager for not actually having the complimentary bottled water for my son's birthday party. A 40 pack at Costco cost me 3 dollars and I had time to get it before the kids needed it.

I approve

At some point every day I feel unmotivated to work an extra hour, at home, to make an extra 200 bucks because I'm too busy reading forum posts and grinding meaningless steam achievements on my games.

I watched Ultron in the IMAX 3D, and that opening scene with the crashed star destroyer was huge and imposing compared to the standard youtube way of watching it. Really set that mood.

If you're a fan of the show "The Blacklist" it's actually hard to separate the Reddington character personality from Ultron in some of the scenes.

If they are desperate for a pilot its reasonable to assume they would sacrifice the emotional connection thing to get a good pilot. What doesn't hold water is that if they were so desperate for an experienced pilot, they would have known about him and come to him first prior to him stumbling...

I'm not complaining. I'm pointing out the obviousness that the series of ridiculous events that somehow resulted humanity being saved is, by definition, a Deus Ex Machina.

Foreshadowing to a Deus Ex Machina doesn't mean it's not a Deus Ex Machina. Lest you forget, the ONLY reason he entered the black hole (that eventually saved the human race) was because Matt Damon was a butthole, caused a boom, and the resulting recovery caught them in the gravitational pull of...

From Urban Dictionary. Deus Ex Machina Dates from ancient Greek times, where "deus ex machina" ("god from the machine") in a play referred to the act of lowering a god on stage using a cable device (therefore, a god from a machine) to decide in a dilemma and give fate a nudge, so to say...

I think it's fairly well agreed that they shouldn't do anything during any new Star Wars movie that makes us remember or requires us to remember "plot points" from Episodes 1-3. Unless Luke takes a new Death Star to wipe out every Gungan in the Universe.

Watched it with the wife, and she fully threw her hands in the air and gave up soon as the black hole thing came up. She's not really into movies that go all Deus Ex Machina on her.

The movie was great and lived up to everything any reasonable person should expect. More Ultron would have been just more dumb stupid robot action or dialog, so I'm fine with what I got. A few things though.... 1. War Machine... when he comes in the final battle, needed to pick up some big...

Allright well, I guess if that's the way it was meant to be interpreted I missed it.

I get lost in the argument that the "science fiction" isn't accurate enough. If the science was all accurate wouldn't it just be.....you know.....science. Science fiction takes what we know, makes several gigantic assumptions, and then tries to make those assumptions work into a compelling...

For the amount that I pay for my awesome Costco full nut cashews.....the 3rd world half nut crap has to go somewhere. Maybe you should buy an unsalted version and make cashew butter.

Have extremely comfortable cashmere sweater. Wash tag is very irritating and defeats comfort.

This thread is certainly eye opening and goes against what I've traditionally done. Sort of like the first time I built a computer without a 3.5" drive. It was a sad day.

these companies only sell yearly licenses..... is this the wave of the future now.....milking me for 5-10 bucks a month for every piece of software I want active?

Howdy. I've been using a corporate version of Symantec v.11 for a few years now. In January, they are no longer supporting it and as a result cannot get new virus definitions. Since it's been a few years, can any of you please recommend a good antivirus that runs constantly without...

Took down the Christmas tree today. Vacuum cleaner refuses to do a great job cleaning up all needles, and therefore for the next 3 months I randomly get pinched when I walk in my own house.

clearly I will never get back to zero

In your state there are certain violations of the lease which amount to a constructive eviction. Hot water, heat, and sewage issues usually easy to qualify and still obtain equitable remedies in court and break the lease. Look it up in your state.

When City of Heroes launched Jerle was in my guild. He was an emotional mess then. That being said, it feels tragic and I can't relate to it.

Could be worse......anyone from the cast of expendables 3 should be banned from Marvel movies.

New vs. used are two different conversations b/c you can fuck up differently. New car buyers need to stick to logic, reason, and an engine that has been used for 5+ years in the real world already and have a proven record. I maintain my vehicles far beyond recommendations and my 2005 car...

Ugh, who let Fedor back in.

I'd like an argument please.

Only really flimsy plot point that was apparent was a dude listening to Redbone walking onto a planet and just taking an infinity stone that was guarded by an easily picked lock and a shitty force field. Couldn't he steal it from something high security in a flair of outlaw awesomeness...

Ignorant shit comment. This movie is meat and potatoes and the main characters are authentic where it matters. The weakness of the movie is that it's fairly predictable, but the movie doesn't try to do too much. You are thrown into a genuinely believable human experience and it's resolved in...

You're right, and I knew it going in and it didn't spoil the movie because I really enjoyed it. Maybe my point is that originally authentic fantasy is like any genre of movie that is authentic. Not only does it look and feel awesome, but it pulls you emotionally as well. Sin City and the...

The only big problem with GotG, which is the same problem every single Marvel movie has, is that every Villain is really just a non thought out secondary character with no chance of winning. Great movies at least try to convince you that the worlds are actually in peril or something. Killing...

What a complete let down. Becomes a god person only to reduce yourself to a goddamn flash drive and a general impression that she's now "one with the universe" powder style. Reminds me of Contact.....3 hours and the alien was her goddamn father. This movie could have done so much better. No...

Tipping is a stupid debate because, at least in America, we set up waiters to fail and they're just victims of societal hypocrisy. Think about any other daily financial transaction you might take advantage of. Sales at a store, an oil change, coupon day....or any business where negotiating is...

I'd like to think after the first 10 million in the bank I'd have the courage to just retire too. But ya, I wouldn't get all butthurt over fans who love my work who repeated it out of the sheer funniness of the messages put in. It's not like people are posting it to mock the cartoon.

I always find it interesting when people so attuned to finding the extraordinary out of the ordinary are so incapable of living in that same world and seeing it for what it is. The moment he became a sensation for the world to adore he should have known people would be posting his material on...

This weekend's new opening movies give no real competition to this movie, so don't be surprised if it does well into the 2nd weekend (even though it probably has a zero percent chance of beating how to train your dragon 2)

This is either the very vocal minority of tranny loving assholes who sit in their thrones of 400 lbs of stupidity they call a "body" or you're just defending for the sake of anti trolling. Either way, I loved this forum back in the FoH days when shit like this wasn't allowed. Guess I'm the one...

Fedor is single handedly turning this thread into a steaming pile of shit. Nobody gives a flying fuck about fat people and that entire obsession you have about posting it. Every post he's made in the last few months has been nothing but the same tired nonsense. I'm normally not one to call...

I clicked this thread thinking it would be an awesome 2020 future thread. Fail :-(

If dad wants to be with his dad for the actual father's day, I'm sure the next weekend's game at yankee stadium will serve as something equally nice, or just another day both of you can make. I give my wife prepaid massage cards and shit and she can schedule when she wants it anytime. I dunno...
