Okay, hear me out: Star Wars Episode 10, but it's just Finn waking up from a bad dream that retcons 7-9 as having happened differently, or not at all -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 15:55 4
- If you’re gonna retcon every bad Star Wars movie, you won’t have a franchise. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 22, 16:01 3
  - That's a terrible business philosophy. Think outside the box: Now you have TWO franchises. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 16:04 2
    - The retcon of my retcon is my con -- nm - budice Aug 22, 16:07 1

TTIS - if you get your tires checked for free at a tire dealership do you tip the attendant? -- nm - Meg Aug 22, 14:53 4
- No. - znufrii Aug 22, 16:14 1
  - I suspected this the first time I went there but there's never been any pressure - except in the tires ;) -- nm - Meg Aug 22, 16:19
- I've never thought to tip mechanics or quick lube places and yet that seems like the kind of place where it would make a lot of sense. - Max Aug 22, 14:56 1
  - This is a free service. It would likely cost me a couple of bucks to do it myself, and last time I tried I damaged a valve stem :/ -- nm - Meg Aug 22, 15:03

Aug 4: Fans of HBO Max were convinced that their favorite shows—and the best streaming service—were doomed. Execs finally clarified WTF is happening. -- (link) - Mop Aug 22, 14:44 8
- This is why I won't sign for any service for the yearly discount price. Month to month so I can quit after I see what I want. - Bacon Aug 22, 16:39
- My concern is that we won't get shows like Barry anymore. HBO always had great mini-series and shows that just don't fit anywhere else. -- nm - Krusty Aug 22, 15:10 5
  - Casey Bloys is still running HBO (for now, with a new five-year deal). may get pushback from Zaslav on budgets but contentwise, I wouldn't expect huge - hollywood big shot Aug 22, 15:30
  - no worries for me. They've always had the odd little stuff like Treme or Carnivàle -- nm - mud Aug 22, 15:13 2
    - Interesting examples, since both were controversial cancellations. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 15:18 1
      - man. still bitter about Carnivale -- nm - Jovian Aug 22, 15:45
  - Though in theory that wouldn't be changed. While many of us don't get the content in that fashion, HBO still very much exists as a cable channel - JD Aug 22, 15:13
- Totally doomed -- nm - decline Aug 22, 14:56

- Three teasers for the Elven-Kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone - Beryllium Aug 22, 15:27
- perhaps they could put all the trailers together somewhere, possibly like a park? -- nm - crash davis Aug 22, 14:42
- giggity (I aint complaining) -- nm - mud Aug 22, 14:42
- No teaser to the trailer? I'm disappointed! -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 14:41

- I wonder what law firm will be stuck with those legal bills -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 14:31

  - holy shit I would never stop laughing. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 14:27
- The twitter lawyers are having a field day with this filing. -- nm - Jovian Aug 22, 14:22 8

        That reminds me, I should finish Saul tonight instead of another ST SNW or The Offer episode. -- nm - Jovian Aug 22, 14:56 2
        
        SNW is awesome, but you're definitely correct about watching BCS first. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 15:30

Bruno Fernandez trying to keep the ball from Salah after a goal and then feigning an eye injury is the height of unintended comedy -- nm - JD Aug 22, 13:49 1
- I don’t really get that. It’s not Liverpool’s ball. United has to take it and kick it off. The ref should have the clock stopped regardless. - Volnelk Aug 22, 13:57
this is just .. wrong -- (link) - mud Aug 22, 13:47 4
- Nothing says success story like one of your fans saying "please come back from wherever you are." -- nm - Max Aug 22, 14:18
- I'd have expected better from ... Nixon's speechwriter! -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:51 2
  - who was touted as some genius with a 312.50 IQ, sold a shitload of books, now praising one of the stupidest of the current GOP (and that's really saying something!) -- nm* - mud Aug 22, 13:56 1
    - (and citing a beloved picture .. just WRONG!) -- nm - mud Aug 22, 13:58
Lol, APE -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 22, 13:23
So real question, is Halo on Paramount good? - Jovian Aug 22, 13:20 6
- You can give a shot, but it's Halo in name only. Kim quit watching after three episodes. -- nm - David Aug 22, 14:40
- ughh. that's a shame. Considering the quality of The Offer and ST: SNW a little surprising. - Jovian Aug 22, 13:28 1
  - Production was held back repeatedly. There was a number of turnovers in cast and crew. That can really hurt a project. -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 13:30
- Noooooope. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 22, 13:23
- not really no. It's shame. decent cast, the effects are good. But man they fucked it up. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 13:22
- NO. -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 13:22
I don't win the lottery often, but... - Mop Aug 22, 13:19
could Darya Dugina be this century's version of another alliterative name from the past? - mud Aug 22, 13:05 11
- and it also sounds she got exactly what she deserved. Im not sure she *wasnt* the target. -- nm - Jovian Aug 22, 13:38 1
  - father & her were both targets, but it doesnt matter. (I'm 99% sure) it was some Russian gang, but it's the "narrative" that matters to vlad's gang. -- nm* - mud Aug 22, 13:50
- Assassination of "royals" in Russian history is fairly common. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:34

  - Also, they're already at war with the people they blame for it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:34
  - my comrade Xi won't let me down, you western thugpig you -- nm - vlad Aug 22, 13:20 1
    - Xi is probably mocking Russia behind closed doors -- nm - crash davis Aug 22, 13:22
- (which faction Franz Ferdinand's assassin belonged to didn't much matter, several countries used it as an excuse to go at it) -- nm - mud Aug 22, 13:14
Totally hyped to open my Save to Win CD! Love financial gamification! -- nm - mara Aug 22, 12:59
Oof. This hits hard. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:59

Quantum Leap teaser -- (link) - Remlik Aug 22, 12:56 [youtube] 7
- I have very mixed feelings about this. Mainly just because I grew up and loved the original. -- nm - sycor Aug 22, 13:04 1
  - I think TV quality has passed them by. We're going to be disappointed with the end result. -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 13:58
- I can't see how this could be anything less than perfect. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:57
- WTF is CityTV? -- nm - decline Aug 22, 12:57 3

  - Canadian. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:57

  - Serves me right for searching for the word "knives". -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 13:03 1
    - ha ha -- nm - nelson Aug 22, 13:06
- I can't see how this could be anything less than perfect. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:55 2
  - Other than the obvious exclusion of Ana De Armas? -- nm - Volnelk Aug 22, 13:35 1
    - there it is! -- nm - mud Aug 22, 13:39
Listening to Yacht Rock *really* triggered something, huh? -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 12:46

      - they seem to be aware of it, too! -- nm - mud Aug 22, 13:22 1
        
        They're in my suggested reels all the time (servals). Usually, they're hissing at someone. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 22, 13:24
- "uhh... oh, oh yeah that's right! Walk away!" -- nm - dog Aug 22, 12:48 2
  - John Mulaney as the Serval, Patton Oswalt as the dog. - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:50 1
    - "And then the serval just picked up the dog - over his head like he weighed nothing - and *dropped* him." -- nm - Drunk Pet History Aug 22, 13:04
No one will ask, "Why so serious?"! -- nm - David Aug 22, 12:17 1

  - spoils - budice Aug 22, 12:37
as I said this morning: -- (link) - Jovian Aug 22, 11:59 11
- If they won the House and made him testify, he'd simply make them look like the idiots they are. -- nm - David Aug 22, 12:12 8
  - although I think they don't ultimately care since it's about fundraising for them. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 12:46 1
    - Those Cancun trips aren't free -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 22, 12:51
  - they will and they certainly will. And that is besides the point. - Jovian Aug 22, 12:16 5
    - I sincerely hope that's the crux of their mid-term messaging. -- nm - David Aug 22, 12:17 4
      - If they take the House but not the Senate, the only thing they'll be able to do is have investigative committees. -- nm - Dano Aug 22, 12:22 1
        
        Or I suppose they could vote again (and again and again) to repeal Obamacare. -- nm - Dano Aug 22, 12:28
      - me too. If that is all they got.... -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 22, 12:20 1
        
        (And it is!) -- nm - David Aug 22, 12:34
