    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    I think that's why Argylle is so disappointing. It has a great cast and could have been a great movie, but they squandered the talent and gave us a half-assed Transformers movie instead. See also: JJ Abrams and the Star Wars sequels, JJ Abrams and the Star Trek reboot.

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Watched Argylle. It was okay. There was some stuff I liked, but there were also many problems. I agree with @Shawn that the plot twists were underwhelming. There really wasn't any emotional weight to them, it was 'Oh, okay." and move on. Which especially didn't make sense when, for example...

    That's too bad. It had looked like a fun film in the trailer. I'll still give it a try (hey, it's free!) but go in with lower expectations.

    Well, crap, I was hoping they had the "one free article" thing. It's from the newest print issue (March 2024).

    Is income inequality unjust, and if so, where is the injustice?

    The neighborhoods around me were built in the 60s and there are churches inside the residential areas. They're surrounded by single-family homes. 1705443122 :hide:

    Is income inequality unjust, and if so, where is the injustice?

    Some of the commenters on the article mentioned the church was next to the homeless shelter, and... Yep. It's literally right next door (Google Maps), so this makes zero sense. If the actual homeless shelter is just feet away, why does this church sheltering people even matter to whatever...

    Former President Trump Thread

    But the best part was where, 36 hours after an Iowa school shooting, he told Iowans to "get over it". Also, MAGNETS HOW THE FUCK DO THEY WORK?

    The Tech Random Crap Thread

    Is it just me, or has there recently been a major uptick in batshit crazy ads? For years on YouTube, I just got the normal products and services type ads, but lately it's been all sorts of MAGAt shit when I don't go anywhere near those types of videos. It got bad enough that I broke down and got...

    The Smothers Brothers were one of my favorites. Fun Fact: Tommy plays guitar and is mentioned in the lyrics on John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance".

    All that says is that people who use QuoteWizard are bad drivers. I wonder how many of them are in the "Male, 18-35" demographic, who can't get (cheap) insurance anywhere else because they are statistically risky drivers no matter what they drive. A real study would have considered that data...
