Six writers
Two studios
An almost completely unproven director, whose only credits are movies that have nothing in common with Spider-Man

This was a recipe for disaster, and yet here we are.

what is the scene you guys are talking about? im prob not going to see the movie

shortly after seeing vultures face for the first time, Peter goes to his dates house for homecoming, and vulture is her dad. Vulture then realists who Peter is as he's driving them to homecoming.

Didn't they do this exact same thing in the first Spiderman movie, where Peter Parker invites James Franco's character and the Green Goblin over for Thanksgiving dinner, and then the Green Goblin figures out that Peter is Spiderman because of a cut on his arm?

Sort of, but it's mutual here and comes out as a lot more intense.

Duma Key 2008

For me, this is the book that really started my love and obsession for King back in the day. I liked him and read him occasionally before, but I'd always heard of him as an author past his prime and never touched his books, until I saw a couple reviews saying "hey, this one's pretty good", and my god it was. Genuinely creepy throughout.

Something occurred to me earlier today about IT. The pharmacist in the book is just a nasty man for the entire story with what seems to be one exception: he tells Eddie that his asthma medication is a placebo in an attempt to get the boy to man up. It's almost out of character for him, but it struck me today that IT was ultimately weakened for a killing blow because Eddie never really stopped believing that his asthma medication was doing something. So maybe the pharmacist was inadvertently doing IT's bidding in trying to take away a weapon.

I don't think he was really afraid of them at that point, I felt more like that was showing IT losing her grip on the town, if just for a brief moment.

Maybe if we didn't turn rabid at non-offending pedophiles we could actually, you know, study them and gather more data to see if we can possibly prevent or rehabilitate them.

Actually most of them return to 'acting upon their desires' whenever they're released back in society.

I didn't know anything about this going in other than it was connected to Gerald's Game, which had not with very low expectations. And, as it turned out, that connection was the weakest part(seriously, she just randomly mentions having visions of Jessie but nothing ever comes of it), but the book itself was actually good, not great. While Gerald's Game had truly disturbing horror but not enough character development to really earn it, Dolores Claiborne has great character development, but not enough really done with it. Still, it's a fun story with fun characters, worth the read.

A sequel is likely just based on toy sales alone. Toy sales are also the reason we have a cars 3,and the reason Cars is the highest grossing movie franchise in the world.

Star Wars?

IIRC, yes. I might be wrong, thinking about it again, but it has either surpassed Star Wars or is very close to it, which is still an insane feat given the short time its been around.

Anything Paradox makes. They always went heavy with the DLC but the prices are out of control now. $15-$20 is just too much for what they offer in DLC packs. I used to buy all their content DLC for CK2 and EU4 when it was $5-$10 with the occasional $15, but I'm pretty much done with them now. It sucks because I really enjoy their games. I bought the most recent one for Stellaris because being new the game was pretty bare bones. Not sure if I'll get more for it or not.

Didn't they actually take content out of CK2 through a patch, just to add it as DLC? On top of having DLC that's mandatory to continue a game..

So, you see all those people on the right that are offensive because they refuse to refer to someone as their chosen gender?

This is the opposite problem, far left people insisting assuming genders is horribly offensive. At best it's benign, at worst it can actually be harmful; you don't raise a kid to be trans or genderless or whatever, you raise a kid with the understanding of it and let them make the decision themselves.

that's exactly what the parent is doing

No. The parent is raising them as abnormal from the start.


The baby’s parent . . . wants to raise Searyl’s genderless until the baby has a “sense of self and command of vocabulary to tell me who they are”.

Raising them as genderless is raising them as abnormal. There's nothing wrong, and a lot right, with raising them with their assumed gender.
