Reloaded and Resurrections? Girl, you can do better

I'm more interested in why he's on a plane. Capsule Corp primarily uses UFO type tech and certainly nothing with nacelle on the outside wings

In their defense, Republicans also hate the south. They just lie to their faces about it

No, it's basically the same thing as Carl Sagan's cosmic calendar

It's got real Stefon energy. "A long, long time ago, say... Monday"

September 19th according to the trailer. I'm not sure if that's Japan or global though

Looks like this was Danny Boyle week for me:

Brokeback Mountain 4.5/5: what a beautiful tragedy. It's one of those movies where you don't really fault anyone for their behavior despite the fact that it keeps making everyone's lives a little more miserable

M3GAN 2.0 4/5: I know everyone is comparing this to T2 but honestly it felt like more like the Scary Movie: Mission Impossible (Movie: Impossible?) which is a compliment. Still very funny and I like them mostly ditching the horror elements

Yesterday 2.5/5: I think this had opportunity but by bailing on The Beatles music and making it a goofy love story I think it kinda loses the plot

28 Days Later 3.5/5: I got the whole "people are the real monsters" message but I still didn't think this really nailed it

28 Weeks Later 3/5: Once again, I understand what political point it's making, it's just not as smart as it thinks it is

USS Callister: Into Infinity 4/5: Look, if TV shows are going to be movie length I'm going to count them as movies. Good Star Trek spin off with interesting sci-fi stuff and bullshit capitalist nonsense throughout

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 3.5/5: I understand how you built a whole TV show around Napoleon Solo's charisma. I imagine this would have had a future if Armie Hamer wasn't a fucking cannibal

What a terrible website. I couldn't even read it without it loading ads and moving my screen everywhere

I used goodreads because different editions are presented differently. It puts Dune at 658 and PHM at 476. If you want to truly go apples to apples the kindle edition of both, which I assume has consistent font/margins/spacing/etc has Dune at 883 and PHM at 482 for a 400 page difference on an eReader. Comparing the task of turning a vacation book into a movie vs adaptating a legendary book into movie (which was so difficult to do, that this is the third attempt and the first commercially successful one) is a false equivalence

Probably toggleable statistics. So I could choose to see information about people above their heads. Mood, age, name, net worth, and stuff like that. It'd be something I could turn on/off and choose what's stats I want to see at any given time

1. No it isn't, Hail Mary is 180 pages shorter than Dune
2. Dune is way more dense than Hail Mary, Weir very clearly writes his books to become movies. Way more dialog, much simpler problems, and clearly defined acts translate much easier to the screen
3. They'll obviously have to cut some parts, but having read/seen The Martian I don't think anything of major importance was lost

I usually look for a recent episode with someone I like or a topic I think is interesting
