Who did David Cage bribe/fellate in order to get those nominations?

As a counterpoint, no. 

But have you considered the possibility that Mr. Mime is also Mutoid Man?

Congrats to the winners.

As someone who has no experience in this sort of thing, how is it being localized now?  Every demo they've shown has been entirely in english and most of the primary cast they've shown doesn't speak Japanese.  It seems like the kind of thing that would have to done simultaneously.  

The first episode has no less than two scenes of her bathing, once in the shower and once getting out of the bath and walking naked through the woods.

Watched the first episode over my wife's shoulder and... is anyone else skeeved the fuck out about how the show is presenting Sabrina?  Maybe it's only the first episode, but they sure lay a ton of groundwork about how her 16th birthday is coming up meaning she is only 15 years old, yet there's a couple of really revealing shots of her.  I get that the actress herself is over 18, but god damn.  

Also, I found it unintentionally funny when her friend was trying to convince her to spend her sweet sixteen with her friends by saying it was her birthday AND Halloween.  Her birthday is always Halloween, that's how birthdays work.

Man, a lot of people haven't played Hitman which I find kind of surprising.

I've taken a bunch of stuff from hotel rooms over the years, a mug from my honeymoon I really liked, more glassware than I can recall, hand towels, etc.  I've never had any hotel ever get back to me about any of it.  These aren't exactly hard to track either, there's a certain number of mugs or glasses in each room so it's pretty obvious if one just isn't there anymore.  Now that I'm older and less of an asshole, I don't just take things for the laughs anymore.  

If I had to guess, if you took one pillow and only one pillow nothing would happen.  It can be chalked up to something unknown.  Taking two entire pillows, probably more likely to raise an eyebrow because how the hell does that happen by accident, but if you go there enough they're not going to raise a stink.  If you want to avoid the issue, you can probably just look at the thing for a tag, or more often than not the name of the brand is just embroidered onto the thing if you remove the case.  Whatever you do though, don't get housekeeping involved.  If a pillow or two goes missing, they'll figure the guest did something with it.  You call and say your bed doesn't have enough pillows and you're putting the person who turned the room down at risk for not doing their job properly.  I'm fine with people assuming I'm a dickhead, but I don't want someone else to catch shit for it.  

Honestly though, why would you want used pillows?  You know how many people have fucked on those things by now?  The annoyance of calling and asking where to buy the pillows lasts a moment, never knowing how many strangers jerked off leaning against your pillows lasts forever.  

Most memorable assassination was Silent Assassin suit only for the model elusive target Walter Williams.  He would always walk by a bathroom next to a restricted area, so I very, very carefully kited over every single person in that area into the closest bathroom with a coin, knocked them out, and then dragged them into the other bathroom while no one was watching.  I needed that closest bathroom empty otherwise the newest victim would freak out and alert the guards before I could put them to sleep.  Eventually there were no witnesses in the area when he finally came around.  He was much harder to pull away, but after a bunch of desperate coin tosses, he finally decided to check out what was going on in the john, only to get pistol whipped and shot while unconscious on the ground.  I left his body there, and about 6 unconscious saps in the bathroom next to it.

I can't imagine BP2 having the same impact or box office success as the first. Being introduced to Wakanda is like being told what the Matrix is or seeing all the heroes team up for the first time, the impact is just lessened the second time around. They've already established the aesthetic and the technology. Regardless of the quality of the film, I expect a Force Awakens -> Last Jedi, Avengers -> Age of Ultron, Jurassic World -> Fallen Kingdom type of box office drop (~25-35%). That would still put a BP2 at ~$450-525M domestic.

 

All that said, I think there's a good chance that Coogler makes a better film. I think for a first film you have to do a lot of establishing, and it's a lot of work to build out Wakanda from scratch. There's a lot that could be done with those characters, and he doesn't have a miss yet.

You do know that you just named two series where the sequels made more money, right?  I mean the second Matrix movie made almost twice as much money as the first.  In fact, the only Marvel sequel to not make more money than the first was Age of Ultron.  Shit, even Thor 2 made more money than Thor.

People turning up their nose to American cheese are no better than the people who get their dick in knots over pineapple on pizza.  Get over yourselves people, arguing over the "right" food is meaningless.  Oh, you like cheddar?  American cheese is typically made with cheddar and colby, they just put some emulsifying salts and such in it so it stays shelf stable and melty.  

If you don't like the taste, you don't like the taste, but let's not get all high and mighty over the fermented cow tit juice we're putting into our body.

American cheese is fantastic on burgers, the proper cheese for egg sandwiches, the only right way to make mac and cheese to get it melty and not clumpy, the right gooey topping for a cheesesteak, and the the best possible option for a nice and stretchy grilled cheese sandwich.

“Invaluable insights?”  This motherfucker has no hidden motives, he just says everything out loud that he’s thinking.  What could they possibly learn from spying on him that anyone couldn’t figure out from just watching his public appearances?

Evergreen tweet.

As we speak, there's some Disney executive diving Scrooge McDuck style into a mountain of cocaine because he wrote "remake our movies, but with people this time" on a whiteboard.

Okay there's something I gotta know... 

 

If the world is so lush and green only a few decades after the war, what the fuck happened to everything by the time the later games rolled around? 

 

If there's no NPC's because "people are just now leaving the vault" then what about the Ghouls? Weren't they the ones that got trapped outside in the radiation? Weren't some of them in Fallout 3 so old they remembered WWIII? If West Virginia didn't get hit by a direct blast, then couldn't there be other lush vibrant areas in the world during the time Fallout 3 and 4 take place, where people are just chillin and living life like normal?

 

Oh, and also, if the purpose of Fallout 76 was to be humanity "rebuilding" then they failed miserably, if the other Fallout games are any indication. Don't bother doing anything in the game, it's obviously pointless.

Hey guess what, the Fallout lore has never made any sense at all.  Fallout 4 occurs over 200 years after the war, yet no one has figured out how to cut a standard 2x4  and everyone is still living in hovels.  Never mind that humanity went from horses and buggies to landing on the moon in 200 years without having any of the knowledge in advance.

On the topic of the politcal reasons Gunn was fired well there really wasn't any that mattered. Gunn had made a lot of disgusting comments on Twitter in the span of eight years(the last of which was only two years ago) about his homophobia, racism and how much pedophillia and rape made him happy. Just because an "alt-right" dude brought those tweets to light(who initially did so to show Gunn was a hypocrite in an argument the two were having) doesn't mean Disney caved to racist political agendas. Disney only responded to the message not the messenger. A message they could not afford to ignore given their family friendly public image. 

Being signal boosted by a disingenuous hate mob that doesn't actually give one flying fuck about the content of the tweets absolutely means they caved to racist political agendas.  Not a single one of that dipshit's followers actually cared a even a tiny bit about the content of those tweets at all.  Those tweets had been around for ages, and if you think a company like Disney wasn't aware of them in advance and decided to roll with Gunn anyway, you're delusional.

I had been cautiously optimistic about this game, but it is starting to look like they removed what people like about the fallout games and forgot to make the combat even remotely passable. I was hoping that they would bring AAA polish to the rust-like genre, a hope that I now realize was delusional since Bethesda couldn't polish a shoe, but now this looks as watered down as a happy hour margarita.

So... it’s like every Bethesda Fallout game?

He IS a genius business man.  Even though he is a crook.  He has convinced more people to give him money, TV shows, and a presidency.  Say what you will, but you have to be pretty smart to trick that many people on that wide of a scale.

No, he isn't.  

Being successful doesn't mean you're smart, let alone a genius.  It's one of these weird seemingly uniquely american myths, the notion that the super rich are incredible at what they do.  Meanwhile, ask your average worker if they think they're boss is smarter than them and they'll scoff.  The world is full of people walking around telling everyone their boss is a moron who has no idea how anything works, yet when you look outside of your own experience you assume that the people in charge got there through intelligence and hard work.  

Many super rich people, probably most super rich people, get there through a blinding streak of luck they managed to ride and not fall off.  Change one or two parts of Trump's background, and he's working at his uncle's tire shop catcalling at women who walk by.  He is not some fundamentally brilliant person or some generational talent.  He was born at the right place, at the right time, and to the right people and that's it.    

It's impossible for Star Wars to "live up to its potential" because what the fuck does that even mean these days?  Star Wars has become so ingrained to some people's entire sense of being, and there are so many of them with different interests, that you can't make a movie that pleases all of them.  Each one of them sees themselves as "the true fan" that needs to have their dick sucked for liking a movie a whole lot.
