IF I END UP CARING ABOUT BOOKER I AM GOING TO BE VERY PEEVED.

The reviews that compared it to a rom-com were spot on.

It felt more like a buddy cop movie to me, but LBR the line between buddy film and romcom are RAZOR THIN at the best of times :D

So I haven’t really been paying attention to Venom, because I am apparently alone in not liking Tom Hardy, but this is the first time I’ve heard that Riz Ahmed is even IN the movie

He’s the central antagonist! And he’s GREAT.

when riz said "trust me" that one time, i trusted him, even though i knew full well what he was going to do. that's acting!!

What struck me is how straight-faced he delivered the worst of his lines. Like, he’s got some of your standard creepy monologuing going on, but what really got me was that most of the super evil stuff he says flies right by you because he doesn’t chew them as he says them. His complete lack of empathy or concern for the human beings he interacts with on every level could have been really serial-killer ominous but instead he delivers them like he’s giving orders at a business meeting and it’s fantastic.

My sister was telling me that apparently a bunch of the bad “critical” reviews were actually fake reviews?? globalnews.ca/news/4513607/bots-venom-a-star-is-born/ i found a few articles about that, but the fact that’s even a thing blows my mind

That makes a ton of sense, actually, because I was sitting in the movie literally going “This is not the kind of movie critics normally hate. This is the kind of movie they usually call a Fun Action Romp. Why did they hate this?” But that makes a ton of sense.

In fairness, I will lay down money that there are people stalking any and all Tony specific tags to explain Their Opinion to you.

That’s true. Tony antis are real full of opinions and do not care if you wish to hear them or not.

I am currently applying to Data Science MS/PhD programs and I might steal this idea and run with it. (Unless I get into the sportsball data science program which I am also okay with as an enjoyer of sprotz)

“@freebooter4ever replied to your post “I just thought of something...”

I was actually wondering if Ana's "death" had already happened? Because she fakes it long before the end of Overwatch (unless i have that completely messed up in my head, which is totally possible too)

1. What’s the worst fanfic you’ve ever written/have thought about writing?

 oh my god I got some dark af shit sitting in the “ideas” folder that I refuse to even talk about, but maybe someday. As for the actual ‘worst’ xD not in terms of “yikes horrible writing” (at least in my opinion?? take my word with a grain of salt), but I’m going to say A Dance of Titans simply because it’s gotten so obnoxiously long it’s kind of ridiculous?? ahahaha. idk idk idk tho. It’s still my baby, even if it’s like… 300k words now.

7. What is your fandom guilty pleasure?

Just purely out of curiosity, if you re-heat the caramel sauce, can you eat it then? Or does it have to be fresh?

So happy for you Sam! Working in DNA testing means I always hear the bad side of testing, and this is a really lovely story (especially regarding your tags)

*maury povich voice* You....ARE the father!

Holy shit what are the chances. That's wild.

Well, it’s a small(ish) population comparatively, and I guess if your scandinavian comes direct from the old country -- rather than from, say, somewhere Vikings used to maraud frequently -- then the odds are actually pretty high. It absolutely is wild though.

This such a Sam thing.

I did have kind of a “MY LIFE” moment.

Huh. Tumblr declared to me that "This post may contain sensitive media." (I need to figure out how to disable Safe Mode.) Owls are sensitive media while nearly-naked Stan Lee is not? Tumblr, you are _strange._

Maybe he’s secretly a mutant, and Tumblr didn’t recognize him as a human?

Is that why he's the "stepdad", because he stepped up? :P

AHAHAH Imma tell him that, he’ll laugh.

Wow -- that's the most visceral uncanny valley response I've ever had. Congrats?

Agreed on the new gyms being not awesome and the PLEASE LET ME TURN OFF RAID NOTIFICATIONS, OH GOD, but you can do raids alone, or at least it's let me do it. Team Glitch strikes again?

Possibly. Other people said that you have to wait for the timer to tick down, but there was no timer that I saw, and I was standing there for like, five minutes trying to get it to DO ANYTHING and nothing happened. 

IDK, it may be related to how when I joined for a while I didn’t have a team? 

oh-emdee

Oh man, yeah I could see how that would be really terrible in more populated areas. I've been liking the raids, but to be honest, we don't have that many gyms here, and everything is really spread out (which I think also keeps some of the novelty, because we also always get quite a few people at each raid), and the gyms are almost never full, which has been nice. Before it was actually harder for me to get a Pokemon in a gym, or it would have taken way too long to build it up.

Yeah, see there’s like...five gyms between my bus stop and my home, and shitloads of gyms in the nearby park, but Chicago is also an incredibly dense urban population, and I live next to a giant high school and two separate universities. I have yet to see a gym that wasn’t full, of any team. :D

I haven't had the opportunity to try yet, but learning you can spin gyms like pokestops is interesting to me.
