    Not a Joke: Bradley Cooper is directing a biopic of John Bishop's life.

    Oh and it's written by Will Arnett. So who's going to play Jodie Whitaker?* https://www.nme.com/news/film/bradley-cooper-is-directing-a-film-about-john-bishops-life-written-by-will-arnett-3859634 *Sadly nobody, as it looks like they're just taking the general details of his life and...

    Ancient Technology that may or may not be Ahead of its Time, or Even True

    Unfortunately, subjects with an historical, inherently unrepeatable basis are not readily falsifiable. Confirmation bias, religious predilection and groupthink often seem to creep into any attempt at rational discussion. Unless someone invents a time machine, we're always going to have an...

    Ancient Technology that may or may not be Ahead of its Time, or Even True

    ...cause pressure in the lower abdomen and begin to cause it to be expelled at various harmonics that then travel along etheral pathways, especially in crowded rooms and elevators. yes, that makes more sense than evolution. seriously this entire section of the forum is a big steaming fucking...

    ...negotiate a longer lunch break that she can spend with him. Apparently Peggy Callahan will be an occasionally recurring character. They made a joke out of Steve trying to get her first name out of her at the end of the episode, though they showed it in the closing credits. Chief among her...

    DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

    ...I'm talking about narrative story points. The conceit that the way the Death Star was destroyed was too convenient or easy became a running joke in fandom, and therefore people started trying to handwave unnecessary excuses for why that flaw was there, and eventually one of those excuses...

    DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

    That's not what Rogue One addresses at all. The Exhaust port never comes up. Erso put a flaw in the reactor, so a small explosion at the reactor would cause a chain reaction. He never addresses how to set of the explosion there. The plans are needed to show the rebels exactly where in the...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    And she chose not to address the complaint by talking to him directly, instead she wanted to shovel him off to be "Somebody else's problem". She could've talked more with him, debate him about the complaints. Going behind your superiors back should trigger suspicion and be more than enough to...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    Ignoring the fact that this is way overthinking a comedic short film that guaranteed was going for the joke rather than plausibility, I can tell you've never been in a position of management or leadership.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    ...are he's saying something derogatory about Shatner at some point. *I say "hardly ever" because I did once personally witness Shatner make a joke at Takei's expense, and even then it was pretty mild. At a Q&A before a screening of TWOK, Shatner was asked which other part he'd like to play on...

    Some jokes die hard.

    Another big one for DC would have be that Aquaman is useless because his powers are mostly water based, when he's actually a total badass, both in and out of the water.

    DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

    Yeah, that happens sometimes -- a joke will get repeated so often that it gets taken too seriously and even the canon creators feel obligated to address it. Like the bit about the Death Star's exhaust port being an obvious weakness that made it too easy to destroy -- overlooking the fact that...

    DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

    ...people have been trained to complain about the trunks. Somewhere along the line, somebody came up with the hi-larious “underwear on the outside” joke, and it stuck with people with a desire to deride the character, or who just thought it made them sound clever. That made DC and people...

    Last Classic Who Story you watched

    Ironically, Brotadac is an anagram of Bad Actor, as the co-writer had written the part to play himself.

    ...good Jacqueline's range was. Tom also excels as both the Doctor and Meglos. Would have made a fantastic Master, for which, given all the meta jokes the 21st century show has had, you know there'd be a field day aplenty with those. Brotodac and Grugger are an excellent double-act, with...

    Everybody needs a hobby. It's good to establish that Urko is no joke, since he inevitably loses all the time. Crazy captain! Is this consistent with what we've seen before or just a local thing? Why not tell the soldiers or a local police ape? Surely they'd get the antidote. Interesting...

    You know this shit doesn’t fly around here. Consider this a friendly warning: Use this kind of insulting language again and it will be a formal warning.

    Oh, I see. I'm wrong, as are the six people who gave a Like to my post above? Uh-huh. Even if your assertions were correct, those kind of comments are inappropriate and moderators don't look too kindly on talk like that. But putting that aside, if you find yourself in a situation where so many...

    Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

    Either you're just making a joke or you're not too bright. None of what you say is accurate. My characterization is correct. The tv movie did quite well, but I think the overall reaction may have doomed it.
