Ray Charles beat them all (kinda, sometimes)

MadTV did a good skit about this years ago

Right move. Wrong reason.

No one is “safe” but there’s clearly a difference at a macro level of different regions. House to house isn’t a difference, but with so many people working full-remote, people are able to choose which cities they live in, so that comparative data is still useful.

He’s been amazing in more dramatic roles many times. Watch “The Foreigner (2017),” “Shinjuku Incident (2009),” and “New Police Story (2004).”

That said, he’s had issues - cozied up to the Xi regime, issues with alcohol and drunk driving, a son in frequent trouble with the law where Daddy bailed him out… So you have to hold his nose a bit to watch movies. And he’s clearly got a bit of the Nic Cage in him where he can do some great stuff, but also doesn’t seem to say no to anything, so he does a lot of trash movies.

Chadwick Bowsman in anything, but I would have loved it if he could have had a real close to the Black Panther character. If I have a magic wand I’d cure his cancer, of course. But even giving him just a few more years so he could give that character a worthy send off and better set up the rest of his universe.

Don’t sleep on “A Knight’s Tale”

A real, functional minimum wage across all jobs (close the loopholes around tips, piecemeal work, etc). Have it pegged to inflation so it stays a living wage.

Spending the day working in a field, in a factory, etc you don’t do a lot of socializing.

Some of the DVD/Blu-ray versions of “GalaxyQuest” have the entire movie dubbed into the weird screeching alien language as a quirky bonus feature.

They’re creating their own events, separate from the official Olympics

Funny that the article doesn’t talk about Pacific Rim, which was definitely a departure from his normal dark, gothic, practical effects-driven horror/drama.

How Simon broke River out is pretty significantly different, that’s the biggest one. A few other small things.

And I refuse to consider “Serenity” canon for other obvious reasons.

Between the Joss factor and the fact that the heroes are obviously based on “lost cause” confederates, who today are all racists hicks, it’s hard to watch now. But it’s soooo well made.

How can it be canon to both the show and the movie? The movie wasn’t in the same canon as the show.

The article never mentions Australia. The reporter is from the American ABC. Everything mentioned here, including Disney, the $15 million, the reporter… all American.

No one here is talking about Australia except you

I don’t think mega corporations have been resistant to social activism only in the last couple of decades. It’s been true since at least the days of the robber barons of the early 20th century.

No, it’s not a different ABC.

Shocked Pikachu face.

He sold out to a massive corporate conglomerate and they don’t support his social activism.

Who could possibly have seen this coming.

ABC has been owned by Disney for decades. Are you confusing them with CBS who just went through a merger?

You just described addiction as a mental condition. People can use anything as an unhealthy coping mechanism. It sounds like you’ve probably correctly identified it as an addiction. Now you can treat it like one.
