I'll agree. From OP "The majority of people don't want to be subjected to more leftist nonsense about affirmative action, about transsexuals, about -isms and -phobias, and about so-called "social justice" in general. They don't want to be subjected to virtue signalling. They don't want to read comment after comment full of pathetic insults like "Drumpf" and "orange skin" and "small hands" and "bad hair"."
I'll include I didn't want all the similar crap from rightists the previous eight years. But, as has been documented for thousands of years, people "reap what they sow".
I'm sick of it all. There's plenty of blame to go around. We need some adults in government. We need some adults here.
I had just made my rounds of all the lying news sites (which are all of them, depending on who you speak to). I went to/. for some idle chit-chat with AC's and the usual gang of idiots.
To my surprise, a current event! More current than all the news sites that I had just read!
I just want it on record that I consider this disappointing, and another sign that/. has hit bottom. I do not come to this site to read current events! I do not come to this site to read about "News for Nerds", whatever that really means.
I come here to read and write snarky comments with the other poseurs, er, posters that gather here.
I wonder myself. Trump is able to give the Chattering Classes plenty of fuel to keep them occupied, while slowly filling the positions that he needs with people loyal to Trump and not an ideology. It takes time to execute regime change as practiced in America.
Let's get this straight. You took the statement "They both had almost no ability to write code" and morphed it into "...you're pissed that someone didn't learn to code as well as you in four years?"?
"Man wants everybody to do the same as him because it helps his bottom line" - not quite as good a headline is it? Contains 100% more truthiness, though.
Ha! Could be. Perhaps he's not that deluded though.
When Mel Brooks did Young Frankenstein in B&W, it was quite successful. Sometimes the medium helps the message. Anyways, I don't think he expected a wave of B&W's to follow.
So while Nolan has his preference, reality and technology and what people are willing to pay will continue to move along. -- I do want some expensive brainburning drugs. Else I'll keep posting to/. And I am a working man tonight.
Er, I'm not sure you would find that definition in a dictionary. Of course, you did do the air quotes, so "film" can pretty much mean whatever you want.
"Then they tried one more revival, with the terrible name "Apollo-Soyuz Test Project""
Yeah, they missed a bet when they named it that. They should have done a national survey for the name. Spacey McSpaceface would have spun off its own series, I'm sure.
I thought it pretty hilarious, too. And, can you imagine the interest that research ship would have garnered on its missions.
Fwiw, I can't remember what they ended up calling the ship, something grand like "Intrepid" or whatever. I don't remember the name, and I don't know where it is, and I don't know what it's doing.
OTOH, we have a somewhat run-of-the-mill submersible. I know more about that craft than the research ship. I know more about what it is doing.
I think the institution that ran the survey, then ignored its results, missed a good bet. The research ship could have gotten quite a good following.
But, hey, subs are cool too. What's in a name? A Rosey McRoseface by any other name would smell as sweet.

That's fine. Can I get my Nickelback?
I guess I'd better see to selling off all my shares in nickel & iron.

AC is correct, though TFA didn't specify. Here you go, without the snark. grand jury
Yeah, but the mangled characters make it look like Welsh. It's a lot funnier when you read it in a Welsh accent.

Msmash says it's 65mm, but the director is quoted as saying it was shot on 70mm.
I'd be tempted to believe the director rather than some stupid slashdot submitter.
Besides, I've never heard of 65mm film.
They were both technically correct. It was *shown* on 70mm. 65mm was used for the movie. The remaining 5mm was used for commercials & previews.
Lend-lease. That's in Part 2.
I would think an experienced *anyone* who has gone to a high-volume event (sports/entertainment/etc) would have known.
Er, I'm not sure you would find that definition in a dictionary. Of course, you did do the air quotes, so "film" can pretty much mean whatever you want.
Nevermind, carry on.
Nah, that's not it. It's Fake News(tm), where nobody's smart.
You know what they say..."It's a rare medium that's done well".

Sorry. I'll go back to work now.

" it must be an effective tool for generating revenue. "
Must be. It got your clicks.
Just the concept makes me laugh: "a traveling salesman who sells shower curtain rings".

Did the shuttle launch? Did it get to space? Did it land? To me that's a pretty good definition of success.
Hmm. We might find out that the Man Who Sold the Moon has a Chinese name.
Ha! Nice screed. Firestone Theater did it better, though. Lookup "Everything You Know is Wrong!".
