  1. All 4 Mad Max movies kinda feel like they take place in completely different versions of the apocalypse. I was never as in love with Fury Road as most. I really liked a lot of things about it... but it didn't feel like a Mad Max movie. I loved the action sequences and overall aesthetic and pace... but found the plot and pretty much everything else to be severly lacking. This trailer really doesn't do much of anything for me. Feels like it's leaning harder into the aspects of Fury Road I didn't enjoy. Looks too over the top and goofy. The portrayal of the apocalyptic world doesn't really make much sense in any of the films. but it made even less sense in Fury Road. It felt like a cartoon. My favorite in the series is still Road Warrior.
  2. It took me long enough, but I think I am finally officially done with Twitter. Not that I matter, but I just can't anymore. I hung on for a while, but I just can't anymore. I cannot.
  3. People online are claiming it's because he was pretty pro-palastine and wasn't toeing the company line like he should... I don't know if that's true or not.
  4. I wish there was a way to get the cheap version of these services with ads, but then pay some nominal fee to watch something without ads. Like, give me ads most of the time, but give me the option to pay an extra 50 cents to watch a movie with no ads.
  5. He always sounds like he’s 30 seconds from having oompa loompas sing a cautionary tale about him as his hubris causes him to be launched into the horizon on a catapult.
  6. It's so funny living in the bizarro universe where right wing talking heads have to spin that they do NOT want a public hearing. Like, you would think after years and years of trying to get this guy, they would be drooling over the chance to do this out in the open for the whole world to see.
  7. Regardless of how much they like to pretend it won't happen, there is a big chance Trump's legal troubles will get much worse. People are barely even paying attention at this point, once the campaign goes into the final stretch, I think all of the legal hit pieces will start coming hard and heavy and it's hard to see him winning over a bunch of new people. I still think he will be the candidate, but being the backup choice probably isn't a bad position to be in. Also, I really do honestly think that if it was Nikki Haley vs. Joe Biden, and the election was tomorrow... Joe Biden would lose. I honestly can't see Trump ever winning again. All of the people bank rolling the Republican Party aren't dumb and surely at some point that reality is going to sink in.
  8. My biggest pet peeve is when streaming services have commercials, but they don't line up with the actual commercial breaks in the show. Which is you know, ALL OF THEM, if I'm not mistaken...
  9. Thanks for the heads up, I signed up for this. Not that much on Hulu, but I'll get $12 of value from Fargo Season 5 alone and I will also check out The Bear.
  10. Season 4 is still great. Even a "bad" season of Fargo is better than 95% of shows.
  11. I really want to watch this... ugh, too many dang shows!
  12. Is this another tale about a westerner who inexpicably becomes the greatest warrior in a strange foreign land, better even than the thousands of locals who have all been training in the same combat arts for generations?
  13. I heard Joe Biden was personally driving the car because he hates America and wanted to knock down the border wall to let all his terrorist friends come pouring through like a swarm of deadly animals…
  14. I like how he says it was all a setup, but the dude was convicted. That means they had plenty of evidence and proof, because it takes a lot more than allegations to convict someone of something like that.
  15. Insert some sort of clever "WHAT I ORDERED ON WISH" meme joke here...
  16. I don't want to hijack this thread but maybe I do, whatever... but yeah, it's very weird... both of my kids play a lot of video games... but what is bizarre to me is that they always play the same games over and over again. I just find it weird how little interest they have in new gaming experiences. They've been playing the same few games for years and years and years. They do dabble in other stuff, but 90% of their playing time the last 5 years have been with the same few games that sort of phase in and out of favor. I mean, I guess that's how I am, because I play the same small handful of mobile games and also never seek out new games... but that's now that I am old and set in my ways. When I was young, I played everything. I wanted to try every kind of game and I played so many different games. Kids these days... they have access to literally EVERYTHING and yet, it's just Fortnite all the time. I guess they go where their friends are, but sheesh... it's a little weird. If you ask me. (and no one did)
  17. Not really, as bad as Fox News comments haver been over the years, I've noticed the overall level of discourse on there has been trending more and more violent, belligerent and desperate. I think die-hard right wingers are feeling more and more backed into a corner and persecuted and it's going to get ugly.
  18. This comment isn't directed toward this board, but just the world in general... The Fox News comments section is about 90% people just calling for mass extermination of all Palestinians with zero nuance.
  19. It's been amazing to learn just how much of an expert so many people are on this. Who knew we had so many people over here with such deep and thoughful well considered opinions on this topic that they have all cared so deeply about for so very long.
  20. I don't have anything to add beyond... good god is Roblox a giant turd factory. My kid plays it non-stop and I do NOT understand the appeal. Pick from thousands of home made ugly weird glitchy garbage games. Thousands! Think of the possibilities! Let's spend $20 on coins on some random terrible buggy garbage fest I won't be playing in a week. That's a fantastic idea!
  21. This is the best news ever. Even as someone who is basically 100% inside of Apple's ecosystem, this has always been super frustrating. Like 50% of the people I interact with have Android phones and it will be nice to not have every single group text be completely borked up... it will be nice to not have cute videos of my niece look like they are digital video from 1997. It will be nice to be able to text my cousin hockey clips from my son and not have them be postage stamp size... It will just be great. I've always hated Apple's stubbornness here, because as an Apple user, it greatly affects us to. It just made it worse for everyone.
  22. It's still insane to me that prominant right wingers have full permission from polite society to joke and mock this incident. I don't really give a fuck, I just find it very hypocritical. If someone attacked McCarthy's wife with a hammer and Biden made jokes about it, it would result in months and months and months of non-stop outrage on Fox News and everywhere. It would be 50% of their coverage for weeks.
  23. This is pretty great... and so so so much better on a big TV than on the little screen. I have my own personal Switch Lite that is only for my use (because my kids destroy everything) and I had been playing it on that and it just kills my thumbs with the weird grip and bad ergonomics... figured out how to make my saves sync (easy, I just didn't have it on) across devices and now it's so much better playing on the main switch on an actual TV.
