Probably the best thing from that show was her and the short hope for Daughters of the dragon spinoff, but I guess that might be happening now?

Misty is so unlikable in these shows. She's smug and rude to everyone, and also comes across as an idiot more times than not.

I've been catching up on the shows recently on Disney+. I had watched about half of them when they were originally coming out before losing interest. They are definitely a mixed bag, some are good, some are OK, and some are awful.

The major issue is their budget and length. Forcing almost every season to be 13 episodes means there is a ton of dead weight. Characters will go into small rooms and discuss what just happened every episode, as if we didn't just see it for ourselves. Or plots just kind of tread water in the middle of the season.

I wish we had gotten episodic TV shows instead of 12 hour movies, I would've loved to see Daredevil handling different cases every episode or Heroes for Hire with Luke and Danny helping different clients.

Congrats, it's a lot of work but definitely worth it.

Speaking of Harry Potter nonsense

I know people were upset that there was no Quidditch in Hogwartz Legacy.

But is anyone actually going to buy a dedicated Quidditch game? I can't imagine anyone other than the most fanatical of HP fans and the parents of young children looking for the a christmas present.

The dedicated Quidditch video game comes out in September I believe. So we'll see how popular it is soon.

which games are in this one

It's discussing Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake.

Nintendo is winding down on the Switch, I hope people don't have high expectations. My only hope would be showing off Metroid Prime 4 finally, the reality being it will probably also be in the Switch successor.

Whenever I've tried to use it they didn't seem to. Only select songs available and as Daki mentioned on a shuffle system.

Like when I showed my friend Sleep Token, he looked them up on his phone's Spotify and there was only 5ish songs there (think it was mostly singles from the most recent album) and they've made 3 full albums.

It looks like there are three albums and a few various instrumental albums on Spotify right now for Sleep Token. Unless there are legal issues with a song, I've found Spotify generally has everything.

I've never heard of this, what exactly is the purpose? At least with cat declawing I can understand why someone would do it, especially if they don't understand what it actually does to a cat. But why would you want a dog without a tail?

These lists always skew very heavy on R&B.

The show definitely went two seasons too long. Though I did like the finale, overall season three and four felt like steps back for the team.

Agreed, Ncuti Gatwa is already doing great as the Doctor, and he's only three (four?) episodes in to the role.

I'd say so far the current run has the same issues that Whittaker's run had, where the Doctor is great but the scripts range from bad to weird for the sake of weird. But I'm pretty sure that The Usual Crowd will give RTD a pass on that because he gave the Doctor a penis again.

I was kind of thinking the same, the Doctors all used to have very distinct personalities, but I think you could swap out Whittaker into these episodes and they would work the same. Their energy and tone feel very similar to me.

The one big advantage with the new season is that Ruby already has more characterization than the 13th Doctor's companions had in their entire series.

I'm not a fan of the US films, though Skull Island is probably the best. They have too much bloat with uninteresting protagonists. There are some fun fights, but they are also a bit too cartoony.

What's the parking situation look like?

i want ppl to talk about 2nd episode

like whether they agree or disagree, "i actually liked (X) because (blah blah blah)"

or talk about the animation or something

not just "shows good has good reviews"

The show came out 7 months ago, I can't remember what explicitly happened in episode 2. But I thought the show was pretty fun with some good action.

It's illegal in various places. For example, some cities don't let you have rooms with no windows. You're obviously going to have that in a mall that's renovated.

Best way is to make it cheap and easy to do the renovations, which requires removing building requirements such as that.

I'd imagine not having full bathrooms would be a pretty big issue.

Pete and Pete and it's not even close. That show manages to be funnier now that I'm an adult than when I was a kid.

Yes. They will temporarily increase it to make up the difference if you were short on taxes or insurance that is held in escrow.

And then of course it will go up permanently if (when) your property values are reassessed and you start owing more in taxes.

This one really so good you had to post it twice?

Eclipse and Intellij/Webstorm. Whatever the default font is.

Awful.

Ted Lasso season 2 was a big step down from the first, but season 3 was a major improvement. Great show, but not perfect.

I do think it's weird that in the entire terrible Star Wars film, people have picked up on that line specifically. It's awful, but it's pretty in line with all the other awful lines. Somehow implies that they are going to try and figure out how he returned, which they never really satisfactorily do in the context of the film. But the stupid dagger lining up with the Death Star is by far the worst part.

It's 3.29 here, east coast city.

She should be in a mental facility for the rest of her life and hopefully gets some help to understand fully what she did.

Not a fan.

Why is it considered a negative to affirm Israel's right to exist...? I get that it's mostly performative, but Israel has a right to exist. And pointing it out as a negative only goes to bolster the viewpoint of people who think pro-palestine means wanting to eradicate Israel.

You just earned yourself an F buddy.

I'm gonna question this, only because a "Swimming ref" on Reddit is saying something that appears to be in direct conflict with what... Actual swimming refs/analysts are saying. Did said ref on Reddit actually provide proof that they are what they say they are? Because when it comes to actual provable analysts in the media, they all seem to almost universally "No, this was a dumb call."

EDIT: Thinking about it, the "excess waves" thing doesn't even make sense, since you can create "excess waves" by splashing in your own lane, which is NOT prohibited. He could have splashed in his own lane in celebration, which would have caused more waves than what he actually did caused, and there would have been no rule against it.

I assume about 80% of Reddit posts are full of shit, but at least it gave a possible explanation. Most likely the ref just had a stick up his ass that day and didn't like the celebration at the end.

There was a good post on Reddit from an actual swimming ref that explained why this rule is in affect.

It basically came down to creating excess waves in the pool while others are competing can affect their visibility as they are trying to finish (plus just poor sportsmanship). And the lane dividers can also break easily, you are never supposed to get on them.

He said these are not some obscure rules, basically every swimmer knows you can't do this and you will be disqualified for it. So there wasn't much sympathy for this guy.

I just finished watching all the bonus features on the Freaks box set, love Criterion.

Has he watched his own movies...?

I think the Japanese voices sound better (my wife played Remake in Japanese), but there was dialog during battles that wasn't subtitled so I eventually switched to the dub.

do math what is 6% of $20 million?

Bro, I can't even do my taxes why you gotta call me out like that.

Sorry, I misread it as $2.6 million. Carry on.

Her pay was raised ~150K, not millions. Basically the salary of 1-2 people.

Ha, we paid $60K over asking and waived the inspection...

It's a remake.

I've been there! Lived down the street for awhile, yes she's completely insane. It's pretty common knowledge since the restaurant opened. Food was OK, she ruined the experience.

It's a fairly small place, they have maybe 25-ish customers a night.

I still have my copies, I have issue 1 through the mid 50s, a ton of N64 era, and then from Wii to the end. In total I have about 150 issues, someday I'd like to track down every issue.

Non alcoholic drinks come by robot, if you order sake an actual person comes to make sure you are of drinking age.

In Japan the screen just prompts asking if you are 20 years old, and you can just hit yes. Love the honor system. They still do have waitresses to come over at the end to tally up your plates though.

If your best defense is "it's technically not illegal" then you probably need to have some self reflection on what you are doing.

Guys, it's a popcorn flick. It means shut off your brain and enjoy it for what it is. If you need to dissect and deeply analyze this movie then you might as well not watch it.

This doesn't really work anymore with Godzilla. Minus One showed that these don't have to be stupid, it's a choice that the American productions are making.

I don't think Ukraine will get a total victory in the war, but I wouldn't consider that a win for Putin. Putin can move the goal posts if he likes to call it a success, but everyone will know the truth that they embarrassed themselves.

Romeo and Juliet is a good call, kids in high school must have watched that for decades. I can't imagine they show it anymore though.

The movie was pretty awful I felt. Definitely not a great movie.

Nick Fury subplot was filler, the villain's whole motivation is shown in a quick flashblack, and Monica's character is a total bore.
