  • The downside is studios will also be more impatient to get the product out the door, so there will be less time allowed overall to finish.

  • Considering he is (albeit very indirectly) part of a minor plot device in Secret Invasion, I suspect Marvel plans to use him in team-ups indefinitely. Probably Rocket too.

    And I'm sure as long as Chris Pratt is game, they will have at least a support role for Star Lord in anything cosmic going forward. Probably the same can be said for Zoe Saldaña's Gamora, considering how precious rare popular female superheroes are. It would be a shame to squander her, especially considering they went through such lengths to bring that character back from the dead.

  • This really feels like it was conceived as a 3 hour movie, then Marvel shuffled the budget and cut everything big out of this but they went ahead with it anyway with a much reduced scope. It's too bad, because Sam Jackson is great in it, as are Don Cheadle and Olivia Coleman.

  • Man, I saw Dial of Destiny last night and I felt like it used its runtime well. Could've done without yet another train fight, and the chase sequences might've been cut down a bit, but the only thing that felt saggy about this movie was Harrison Ford's skin.

  • How is this not considered attempted manslaughter at the very least? Even non-citizens have rights under our own laws. Whoever issued those orders should be dishonorably discharged and jailed. Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

  • This one got a chuckle out of me.

  • That Sara Bareilles song got a lot wilder.

    "Say what you wanna say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly
    I wanna see you be racist"

  • They absolutely could. I don't know if there's a good technical solution to that. Maybe requiring IP registration or some other identity verification for mods over a certain number of communities.

  • While I grant that there probably are a handful of people who can mod a dozen or more smaller communities and not power trip, I think they're probably the exception to the rule, and we shouldn't encourage it. The more communities you mod, the higher the standards should be for community engagement.

  • This and The Sixth Sense are among the few movies that are better on rewatch because you know the twist but the characters don't.

  • I've watched it a handful of times and catch something new every time.

  • The rate at which these features are rolling out is impressive. I made a request for a swipe to hide gesture and a few days later noticed it was already a thing. Huge kudos to the developers here! You're doing incredible work.

  • Zero. That's the really weird part.

  • Because it's barely a concern in the movie. It's little more than a Macguffin to raise the stakes. That's honestly my biggest problem with it. They set up this compelling concept of an AI manipulating information and then the most they ever do with it is have it hijack a walkie talkie. I loved how the intelligence agencies were all switching everything to analogue, but none of that ever really makes any difference to the story at all.

  • He was president for four years. He ran on making the place great again (?). Why didn't he? Golf was more important?

  • Funny to be more concerned about the chickens than the animal enslaved for life and bred to feign affection.

    But then it's typical for rationality to go out the window for some people when dogs are concerned.

  • Kiazi's women, their faces wet

  • The one where he kicks the helmet and screams after they track Merry and Pippin to the site of a battle and find only a pile of burned corpses.

  • Oh shit, it's Cohen the Barbarian.
