  1. Brookstone will always have a soft spot in my heart because the one in my local mall always had a demo hammock set up so I would lie down in it while my parents shopped. Later in life, I appreciated the lengths they would go to pretending they weren't selling you a vibrator. "Hop in the shower and feel your tensions melt away..."
  2. Ness and Sness. If an acronym spells an easy word, you say the word. It's why you say A T M and swat.
  3. Someone decided to take something that people liked and wasn't a status symbol, gave it an air of cool, and now they're laughing all the way to the bank.
  4. How is it possible to be disappointed by a member of the Paul family? All they do is suck. They started awful, remain awful, and they will be awful until the grave at which point the dirt around them will become awful as well.
  5. Yeah, I think Eddie Brock only did it once or something and he was really upset about it. All I'm saying is it's not like he did it all the time.
  6. No, without her we wouldn't get Jor-El's magic trick in the space ship which can do everything except the one thing that would be actually useful.
  7. Man of Steel is terrible. You can wave off single things like the city getting ruined and Superman killing of Zod in a vacuum, but the bigger problem of MoS is that Snyder fundamentally does not understand Superman at all. It's not exactly surprising that an Ayn Rand dick rider like Snyder doesn't grasp the core concept of Superman, it's also the biggest problem I had with Watchmen as Snyder clearly seems to think that Rorschach is actually a hero. The idea of selfless sacrifice and taking on the burden of the world on your shoulders for the sake of other is utterly foreign to Snyder. For fuck's sake, a major story beat in the movie is Superman's adoptive dad telling his son to let him die because the alternative might make his son's life annoying and inconvenient. The MoS Superman is someone who does what he wants to because he can and people should let him because he's better than them. On top of that, every plot point in the movie relies on everyone to make the stupidest possible decision at every given moment to propel it forward. Hey remember when Zod demanded that Lois Lane, a human he never met and had no interest in whatsoever demanded she be brought on board his ship because the script needed someone else to be there in ten minutes? How about the entire central conflict of the movie revolving around the fact that Kal-El has to kill Zod and the remaining Kryptonians because Zod apparently can't move his car once it's been parked. If at any point someone just said "Hey, why don't we just leave this planet we don't give a fuck about at all and choose any of the trillions of other planets in the galaxy and he'll give us what we want" then no fighting is necessary. Superman took his father's sacrifice to heart and keeps himself hidden, except when someone messes with a chick he finds hot, then he'll destroy and entire truck and a shit load of tax funded infrastructure very visibly. That doesn't even count annoying little nitpicks like Kryptonians speaking English or getting their powers in five minutes as opposed to Clark's dozen or so years. Oh, and finally let's not forget some of the incredibly subtle Christ imagery all over the thing. It's a shit movie.
  8. Yeah but... Venom doesn't actually eat people. He talks about it a lot, but it's not like there are tons of examples where he dines on humans.
  9. Sounds like someone is super pissed about those Pokémon go switch games.
  10. I honestly just hope that episode IX goes full troll. I don't really care about the characters or plot, but the more white dudes they can bend out of shape by "ruining" Star Wars the better. I hope the entire movie is Daisy Ridley, Kelly Marie Tran, and ghost Carrie Fisher walking around in "this is what a feminist looks like" shirts out doing everything the original trilogy tried ten fold. Rei manages to throw a proton torpedo over her shoulder without looking which lands in another death star's exhaust port while she lifts up a dozen x wings with her mind.
  11. For the last time, it doesn’t matter if your top 1% salary affords you a hovel, you’re still in the top 1%.
  12. Already got Prey from you, so I'll just drop in for the grats and thanks.
  13. Man, here I was all excited to see a guy sticking out of the top of a cement mixer slowly spinning over and over again.
  14. This is exactly like crying wolf, because as we all know the famous story involves a young man who cries wolf when there’s an actual wolf right there and all the townspeople watch him get eaten because who stands out in a field anyway?
  15. Wrong people. These guys were in jail and couldn’t be in the takeover. Those dipshits were actually acquitted because fuck everything.
  16. Yeah, it’s not like there isn’t an easily verifiable problem with a dedicated group of people specifically targeting women in game development or anything... Must just be one uppity broad.
