We need to replace all of the Nintendo assets with meme versions similar to Sanic. This way, Nintendo can’t force them down and we get to make fun of them.
I say we make Plumber Guy and Princess Bleach of the Toilet Kingdom.
Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?
Because 1 Drakon is 1000 Cubic 100tholians, which takes 1000 Vornies to raise 100 degrees on the Flugar scale to boiling point.
Metric is very scientific, but it was made through arbitrary means. They chose to make it easier than imperial by using divisions of 10. But it’s all based on a single measurement that they made up through arbitrary means.
“We have this length called a meter. How do we define it? Let’s use it to measue something in nature and then use that measurement to define it.”
I recently saw ‘Don’t Look Now’ (1973). Good picture, a little slow perhaps by today’s standards but worthy of any movie enjoyer’s time! So this movie was shot in Venice. Venice itself being an already beautiful spot to film even today. The way we get to look in a time capsule of Venice in the 70s makes the movie that...
Sir, you have taken my words and misconstrued them to make me appear foolish. To that I say… Touché.
So let’s get extremely technical and a little petty.
…
If we only count movies with the title “The Mummy” then we have:
The Mummy (1911) The Mummy (1932) The Mummy (1959) The Mummy (1999) The Mummy (2017)
I propose that because you immediately suggested that the “remake” I was referring to was the 1999 film and was immediately precided by the “original” then you are MISTAKEN!!!
That would mean that you believed the 3rd movie in this list was actually the “original”. How utterly foolish of you. I laugh at your expense. Ha ha ha.
…
But seriously, I grew up loving the 1999 Mummy movie and I refuse to see the newest one.
Please tell me that the title is a Napoleon Dynamite quote. At this point in my life, I feel like I was the only one to quote this line and now everyone looks at me weird.
I liked how they bypassed Sokka’s sexism and made it more about his insecurities with his dad and what it means to be a man.
I liked how Katara’s fight with Paku and her ability to lead all of the female waterbenders made her a master in his eyes which lead to him telling the teens to find Master Katara.
I like how all the previous Avatars have baggage about doing things alone or being vicious. It forces Aang to find his own path instead of following someone elses path. He no longer needs to live up to the previous Avatars, he just needs to be his own Avatar.
It’s the entire plot point of the Kyoshi Warriors. Take out Sokka’s sexism and there’s no need for a group of female warriors. Nothing would have been lost from the episode that pushed Aang further along his path.
How Netflix addressed it was about Sokka feeling inadequate as a man and seeing all these women who could do the things he wished he could. So he shyly and politely asked to be taught.
It’s adorable but it’s bigger than just the white fluff of feathers that we can see in this picture. It does fool the eye a bit but you can see the outline of the rest of it’s body going down behind the branch.
I wasn’t sure when i first saw this but had to image search myself to check.
I absolutely hate the story of this game. The parents are horrible ego-centric people who do not deserve to be happy. My wife and I played it and we almost quit at the very end because we were convinced they shouldn’t end up back together. They don’t actually fix any relationship problems besides being reminded why they fell in love and nostalgia.
It drives me nuts how this game won GOTY when I hated it so much.
I just tried this. Why does this exist? Why does this need to be a shortcut? Who uses LinkedIn so much that they need to use a 5 key shortcut to get there faster?
Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?
