As with other wild populations, the animals’ health, ecological sustainability and whether they are reservoirs of infectious disease would be the paramount concern.

Not sure that the current provincial government has the credibility in evidence-based decision making to be able to sustain any interventions.

As Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Carignan is a General not a Lieutenant General.

It’s really unfortunate when a basic error doesn’t get caught in the vetting of an article as it undermines the rest of the story.

In the 1980s, MIT flagged that the US was losing the productivity/quality race to Japan and South Korea.

Despite a great deal of national handwringing on this point, no systematic improvement was made.

He’s the head of state of more than just the UK.

It would be nice if 10 Downing Street remembered that when using the King for their interests.

I’m down for this one.

The link has just gone to my partner for upcoming gift occasions 😉.

Getting into the panels / speaker sessions was always my top priority.

Sometimes they have sessions with production or other behind the scenes creatives. Those are always amazing.

The vendor hall is always worth checking out and it’s fun to mill about and see the cosplayers.

Depending on whether you like that sort of thing or not, paying to meet and get a photo with a cast member or to get an autograph (usually two separate things) is a popular activity.

While I won’t be travelling to the US anytime soon, I think it’s great that Creation is getting back into regional cons.

I used to attend them in the late 80s and early 90s and they were a great entry point for newer fans and those who didn’t want the mass experience of something like STLV.

I think that they do more to build a franchise for the long haul than the megacons.

Last Thursday, the Tokyo District Court ruled that 39-year-old Wataru Takeuchi was guilty of violating Japanese law that prohibits the creation of “a new work by making creative modifications to the original while preserving its essential characteristics.” Takeuchi worked as administrator of a website that published lengthy, spoiler-heavy descriptions from popular movies and series. And two of Takeuchi’s “articles” — one about Godzilla Minus One and another focused on the Overlord anime adaptation — prompted Toho (owner of the Godzilla) and Kadokawa Shoten (the publisher behind Overlord) to file joint lawsuits through the Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA).

I guess the branding consultant for the new Canadian nuclear reactor aren’t fans of Kaiju cinema franchises — or maybe they are.

Looks like they’ll be producing nice Titan snacks.

CANDU® MONARK™ technology represents a monumental opportunity. By investing in this powerful solution, we are securing our energy future. We are also creating thousands of jobs, generating billions in economic activity, and positioning Canada as a global leader in nuclear innovation.

 

AppleTV has posted a full clip of the major Titan fight at the end of M:LOM 2 x 08.

Welcome to the episode discussion! There is no spoiler protection in episode discussion threads, and spoiler tags are not necessary!

That makes sense!

Definitely there was local control over availability. I recall shopping for gifts and seeing walls of SW toys but no Trek in Ottawa.

Even in Canada, I don’t recall that they had wide distribution. They were also marked up quite a bit from the US price (well beyond the exchange rate). I saw them mainly in specialty stores, not Toys R US and department stores.

That was a very time limited counter example, and were largely unavailable outside the US.

And it may be a really important factor in explaining the loyalty of millennial guys in the US to the franchise vs other demographics and countries.

Class sizes are up and supports are down.

Now attendance requirements for grades are being instituted.

It doesn’t occur to the government to enquire about why students are avoiding or refusing school attendance.

Once again, an official teaser clip has been shared with media — available in this article.

It looks like a 1970s toy. . . Which makes sense given who their target market is.

I would take it as another sign that the franchise has aged out were it not for the fact that it’s always had awful merchandising and licensing.

Here’s the Godzilla Minus Zero ‘First Look’ teaser.

It short but there’s a lot to be hyped about. The cinematic feature will reportedly be released in IMAX.
