  1. there's a reason the character's name is "Beast"
  2. I rewatched the first movie yesterday, and watched Part 2 today. Overall, absolutely loved the movies. The costumes, the set designs, the acting, the cinematography, the SFX were all top-notch and on point; you could see where the money went. And it's great seeing some serious A-List actors, even in roles that don't have enough of a part for the movie. Saw a review somewhere where someone referred to the book, the 1980s movie, and this pair as really emphasizing different things that reflected the times they were made in, and I think that's really true. Overall, I think the new movies did a great job of bringing to the screen a lot (but not all) of the complexity of the novel, and certainly didn't water anything down. And beyond that, even knowing what was coming (and for Part 1, even on the re-watch) I still felt awe and some "holy shit!" moments. If I have a criticism, it's that I felt Part 2 had a bit too much of "Here's Paul and Chani staring at each other pensively" moments, when it was time to instead get the story moving. I'm all in favor of having lots of Zendaya on the screen in my movies, but do something; otherwise, I can just look at a still photo of the two actors and get the same experience. I'm glad they actually gave Irulan something to do in this movie. But you could film Florence Pugh doing laundry and I'd be entertained. OK, that's the spoiler-free bit. Now for some more spoiler-ific reviews.
  3. No, he gets a week to get another bond.
  4. Even if you're cremated, you can get a box for your ashes. I'm gonna have my ashes put into a 1977 Star Wars lunch pail
  5. i SMUGLY rest my fucking case No. He's really that much in the closet, that much in denial, and that stupid. It's just painfully obvious.
  6. There's also this li'l thing that runs Linux that has something to do with increasing Linux/Steam market share. (My boy got one of the OLED ones. Says it's the best purchase he ever made.)
  7. Putting money into things you believe in isn't investing, it's charity. You don't have to go full Duke Bros., you just have to have an enlightened self-interest and an understanding of how money makes money.
  8. I'm reposting this from the Shart thread. Don't care.
  9. stole that from a Fella on Threads... told him I would, too don't forget the "industrial strength" part
  10. 91-time criminally indicted flatulent narcoleptic seditious bankrupt immoral rapist, industrial strength vaginal dehumidifier, and former president, Donald J. Trump.
  11. That's the only purpose for any and all investing. Why do you say that like it's a bad thing?
  12. Did you... just... watermark someone else's gif of copyrighted content with your own username?
  13. Appropriate to quote a song by Glenn Fry. (stfu, spell-check, I know what I'm doing)
  14. Yeah uhm count me in on team "They won't actually do anything about it." More like that, fewer actual martyrs, please.
  15. I was thinking more like or even but really:
  16. Well. Yeah. Not on the Brown Album.
  17. Same. All y'all bitches need to go watch The Big Short and Trading Places. Get yourselves educated. Now.
  18. I don't even like how that's being reported. He should be referred to as "the troubled former president" at the very minimum.
