France did the thing that Democrats are too scared to. I hope it works

I tried for a while to use two 16:9 vertically. Like you say, vertical makes a lot of sense and it works great. But web devs seem universally to assume that if it’s a tall narrow screen, to show the mobile version.

The original movie was made very much with an audience from 100 years ago in mind. Boomers have nostalgia for it, so can’t change the script too much. Meanwhile, millennials are socially aware and see the problems with the story. Disney tried to make everyone happy, and generate a little bit of free press, and failed to make anyone happy.

This was a remake that should never have gotten off the ground.

Yeah, and Putin is mad right back at him because he’s gonna take over Greenland.

Sony took full control of Stolen Picture in 2022 after originally buying into the outfit in 2017. As part of the 2022 deal, Pegg and Frost resigned as directors and have since stepped away from day-to-day operations.

I’m holding out for falling out a window.

It’s going to hit GM and Ford who are set up to build cars in Canada and USA. The cars they make in US rely on a global supply chain. It’s going to fuck every carmaker in the US market. Hyundais and Chevys are going to go up in price 30% overnight with the metal tariffs on top of all that.

They already do. Mississippi water levels can be managed through Lake Michigan via the naval canal.

They’re there, but harder to find. And some are closing. I’ve had two or three in the last couple years that closed, in the reasonably popular world of cars.

That’s the problem isn’t it? We used to have forums where people discus things and blogs where people share what they’ve learned, now it is all Reddit and discord and absolute trash in between.

Some parts of MASH hold up pretty well. Some parts do not, but I think they’re the minority.

Battlestar Galactica (new) - just watched this the first time through with my partner, second time for me. It’s doing really well.

Sitcoms generally age poorly, but they weren’t too good in the first place.

It has gotten so much better over the years. Which is more testament to how unutterably awful it was at release than how good it is now.
