And speaking of that, jumping back to Pirates, Davey Jones is probaby the best looking CGI I've ever seen. Like you couldn't tell its computer graphics until you look at his tentacles, which if nobody told you, you'd argue they were practical effects

Bruh when I found out that it was all digital, I lost it. 

13:15 is where they start talking about him.

These Pirates of the Caribbean movies have aged extremely well. The CGI looks better than alot of the movies out today 

That was the peak ILM era. 

I think about the 07 Transformers movie and how it still holds up over 15 years later.

So, I know many of you are not Twatter fans, but in that case you will be happy to know that Elon Musk recently announced that from now on, unless you pay the guy for using one of the shittiest social media there is, you will only be allowed to see 600 posts, or 300 if you're a new user, before the site shutting down and not displaying anything again for 24 hours. Paid users will be allowed to see up to 6000 posts before the same thing happens to them anyway.

 

Sounds like satire, but it's true.

The fact that there is a cap even for paid users is insane. 

So that supposed Social Media Empire Title Match . . . here's a take and I agree with him 100%

My first 3 Lego builds are complete! Mercedes-AMG Project 1 and the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 W12 came in one set. I literally just finished building my girlfriend's gift to me, a Koenigsegg Jesko!

 

 

 

Awesome. I have the Lego Back to the Future figure and it's still sitting in the box.

It's hard to tell these days the way the term is thrown around. If they are born after 1964, they aren't a boomer.

It's like how the term "woke" is used recklessly.

So where you at the premiere where some unnamed actor actually tried to fuck around and find out with Michael Jai White?

Negative. . . 

Now I have to Google.

Wait, thats out already?

Tis indeed. The one thing that surprised me was that it was a fairly mixed crowd.

Saw The Blackening last night. 

Definitely one to catch over the weekend.

I mean, there are quite a few things that white supremacy and Islam agree on. The former is not limited to racism in its bigotry. 

Exactly. Hoteps hate jews just as much as the Tiki-Torch bearers.

But once someone has money and some pull to where they don't have to bend to society to function? You get the real raw version of them.

I refer to that as "giraffe money". Money can move you in and out of circumstances with ease and you can get practically whatever you want.

To a civilization that mastered interstellar travel, we are probably as interesting as terrestrial ants or rocks.

I really  wish more people understood this. You can master interstellar travel but for some reason only interested in the most barren parts of Earth. If you really believe that a intelligent species that can move distances that, with our current tech, no human can visit in a lifetime must present themselves in this manner, please spare three minutes and watch this.

I regret watching that dude get eaten alive by a tiger shark. That's absolutely a horrible way to die

I saw the first two seconds. . . immediately closed the browser window.

AOE (2014) and TLK (2017)  - 5/10

 

ROTF - 4/10

I'm with you for all points in your review . . . but TLK is like making a dogshit smoothie and whipped creme  laced with steel wool on top. It is the only movie that I have taken my wife to see and literally apologized before leaving my seat. 

Not much redeeming about ROTF besides the Forest Battle. 

I agree with both takes here. They gave a damn. As a fan, you'll definitely appreciate the Easter eggs in the beginning.

You guys really hate me and the official TF thread lol

This  is more general movie space, now to geek out on who certain characters are, then TF thread is where it's at.

I also saw the movie tonight. Absolutely think this is the "good not great" variety.. Nothing really interesting happens and it's pretty much paint by the numbers. However, they fill the lines with all the right colors. It's worth checking out. 

Also Mirage is great. 

7/8 out of 10. (Ask me again in a few days to peg the number down 🤣

I'm seeing fairly positive reviews for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts since the embargo lifted. Seems to be walking the "not perfect, but good time" vibe. 

I'll take that.  

Seeing it tomorrow. I'm trying to manage expectations.

Just got back from Spider Verse. It was amazing. I seriously doubt the third can live up, but we'll see.

People said similar things about the second and first movie and look where we are. The pressure is on for these guys.

In general I don't support helmet laws.  If people want to risk death that's their choice.

True, but there is more to the crash than the crash. The economic impact following the event and the trauma response costs regarding first responders are factors into why these are necessary. Personally, your insurance claim should be invalidated if you ride without a helmet.

And that's why Myron holds a grudge. Had it been brought up in private? Or even on the podcast? Different reaction

I'd like to believe this but I'm pretty sure that my man would have had a similar reaction. He's out here preaching Alpha-male king shit and got exposed for doing the thing he criticized.  A & P challenged his brand which challenges how he eats. No one likes someone actively trying to take food off of your table.

Bro it was Fresh & Fit saying they wanted to fight and then they backed down when Preach was like "Let's do it, I don't even need to be paid, let's go." 🤣

Exactly. Lemme pull up the receipts 

Also because June
