I remember when “Jade” was a movie starring the guy from NYPD Blue who quit the show because he thought the movie role would make him a stah. Spoiler: It didn’t. He eventually ended up back on tv in CSI Miami.
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 3 days ago:
Reminds me of Windows UI — usable, but obviously a lot of glommed on tech debt that was never updated.

- Comment on If you save, we will charge you more 1 week ago:
And? That cost is constant. It shouldn’t cause fluctuations in price.
- Comment on If you save, we will charge you more 1 week ago:
It’s not how all businesses work. Many businesses lower prices when there is a surplus. It’s ridiculous that energy prices would go up when they are spending less on natural gas, coal, or whatever they are using to create the power.
Honestly crap like this is just going to encourage those that can afford it to install solar panels and backup batteries to load up on cheap electricity. Then the power company is really going to throw a hissy.

I wonder what the data entailed other than school name, student name, and grades?

Why on earth would you need “live updates” about this?

Don’t care what anyone else says — she was great on Enterprise.
- Comment on Flight Risk (2024, dir Mel Gibson) 2 weeks ago:
The next time someone says “cancel culture” to you, just point out that Mel Gibson is still getting work.

There’s no incentive to keep movies in theaters when the studios own the streaming channels.
- Comment on Wicked Becomes Biggest Stage Musical Adaptation Ever At Global Box Office 3 weeks ago:
Adjusting for inflation shows this Wicked claim to be marketing bullshit.

More than “Grease”?

My favorite part is where they point out they are hiring out posts on Reddit:

- Comment on Which were the worst movies of 2024? 5 weeks ago:
Can’t believe the evangelical churches didn’t give out free tickets to this one.
- Comment on Which were the worst movies of 2024? 5 weeks ago:
That doesn’t make sense anymore. Streaming is the post-theater “second life” for movies now.
- Comment on Stop the power abuse happening in the politics community. 5 weeks ago:
That doesn’t look like mod abuse. You posted something that wasn’t about politicians or voting in Politics. Mod explained this and told you it should probably be posted in News instead.
- Comment on Texas Sues New York Doctor for Mailing Abortion Pills | The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, appeared to be among the first attempts to stop doctors from mailing the medication to states that ban abortions 5 weeks ago:
Also “constitutional experts”. Nevermind that pesky interstate commerce clause.
- Comment on 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu' Adds Jeremy Allen White 5 weeks ago:
That would make sense. Filming is done but the cartoon characters don’t have their (unnecessarily celebrity) voices added in yet.
- Comment on 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu' Adds Jeremy Allen White 5 weeks ago:
How do you add someone to the cast if the filming has wrapped?
- Comment on 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu' Adds Jeremy Allen White 5 weeks ago:
This movie hasn’t finished shooting? Wasn’t it announced last year?
- Comment on Star Trek: Section 31 (2025, dir Olatunde Osunsanmi) 1 month ago:
I have no problem with the idea of Section 31. I think it was executed well on DS9. I don’t think this show is going to be very good though, from the previews I’ve seen so far.

So is this another musical where they hide that fact from the trailer?
- Comment on Junk food ad ban legislation progresses to curb childhood obesity 1 month ago:
Tax the junk. This deters people from buying it and helps to offset healthcare costs.
- Comment on KFC drops pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in the UK 1 month ago:
It didn’t always. It’s sad what it has become. There a reason “fast casual” chains are doing better than fast food.
- Comment on Jon Watts Explains Demise Of George Clooney & Brad Pitt ‘Wolfs’ Sequel After Streaming Pivot: “Apple Didn’t Cancel…I Did, Because I No Longer Trusted Them As A Creative Partner” 1 month ago:
He’s just pissy they didn’t release his movie in theaters. He’s welcome to look for another studio, but he will be lucky to find one that doesn’t go straight to streaming or even just bury his finished work for a tax write off these days.
