In episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something?

The Empire built a huge gently caress-off WMD and put its pilots into death traps with guns strapped to them, they absolutely would have sent volunteers to hyperdrive ram poo poo out of the sky.

Had that become a tactic used by both sides, they could do that poo poo to planets and moons with autopiloted ships and there’d be nothing left of the galaxy after all the mutually assured destruction.

Lid posted:Was watching a video on youtube and a trailer started autoplaying, usually I'd skip but for some reason I got serious MOON vibes from the start and watching it and... it looks pretty good? Amazon has it for free if you have Prime. The writer/director was the visual effects supervisor for Moon, which is why it's got a similar look. The sci-fi ideas its working with are very familiar, and Theo James is no Sam Rockwell, but it's an alright enough little movie.

"You're fired" outside of the Trump context is a special one for me; there was a True Lies SNES game (which was actually pretty decent), and at the end, when you kill Aziz, there's a very nice digitized shot of him soaring through the air, attached to the missile.

My favorite part about bad Michael Bay productions is it doesnt matter who actually wrote or directed it, theyll still blame Bay and the writer and directors will get off scott free because no one actually remembers any other names associated with it. Ive had to inform more than a handful of people over the years that Michael Bay did not direct the new TMNT movies. Even his money has a bad reputation.

I mean, his movies make a lot of money and are occasionally really good. It's just a special subpopulation of nerds who hate Bay because he doesn't cater to their nostalgia in just the way they want it.

It says a lot about the industry that getting gobbled up by Sony is the least-bad option at this point, but gently caress I do not want to see Disney owning Bond. Though at least Disney might be a bit reluctant to pursue any multi-billion dollar deals for a while with the way the pandemics been hitting them.
