  1. until the moment he shot somebody, he hadn’t broken the law or even exploited a loophole in the system.
  2. republicans will have to do some research on the shooter before deciding who they're mad at.
  3. nothing we could do, said only country where this routinely happens.
  4. i'm not a comic book movie fanboy by any stretch, but the 8-10 good to great movies (out of like 25 total) that end the story with infinity wars and endgame is fantastic storytelling through film and anyone who says otherwise is a fucking hater and or pretend movie-snob/dork. i understand what you're saying, but in actuality, it's the opposite. the reason there are so many headliners is because they all headlined their own origin story movies, and then the movies started overlapping casts with each other. so yes, is the answer to "roles nobody else could've played". when cumberbatch plays dr strange in a decent movie with a so-so cast, you understand his story and role, and then when his story overlaps with other stories, all the main stars are part of it. those last two movies bring a lot of shit back from literally 12 years of movies, so pretty much everybody in any of those movies appears in the final movie. none of them were cameos, they were all reprising roles they played in previous movies, if that makes sense. it's a lot of time, but like i said, the ~10 movie journey is fucking worth it. pretty remarkable cinematic achievement.
  5. that article was written in june, 2019. since then, scarlett johansson and chadwick boseman became nominees (there might be others). taika (writing) and redford (directing/producing) have oscars as well so i guess 9 is the number all in, just counting speaking roles. the player has bigger numbers, but the cameos were the running gag throughout the movie, so i still think there's an asterisk.
  6. also did not win.
  7. and since nobody is taking my endgame nomination seriously, here is the list: robert downey jr chris evans mark ruffalo chris hemsworth scarlett johansson jeremy renner don cheadle paul rudd benedict cumberbatch brie larson chadwick boseman tom holland zoe saldana evangeline lilly tessa thompson rene russo elizabeth olsen anthony mackie sebastian stan tom hiddleston john slattery tilda swinton jon favreau hayley atwell natalie portman marisa tomei taika waititi angela bassett michael douglas michelle pfeiffer william hurt cobie smulders linda cardellini vin diesel bradley cooper gwyneth paltrow josh brolin chris pratt samuel l jackson ken jeong carrie coon robert redford this isn't really a competition.
  8. and elfman didn't win for anything. i'm still counting 3 (in the cast). 4 if we're counting crowes. see what i did?
  9. i'm not remembering 5.
  10. the answer used to be "a bridge too far".
  11. the credits from avengers: endgame make a fairly compelling argument. and a whole bunch of oscars. love the player, but those are mostly cameos.
  12. let's just make sure everyone knows that emmer had to cozy up to dems to get the top job. that should make it more fun.
  13. pos rep for ruthless people. successfully logging onto zoom puts him above most on the right, intellectually speaking. which prob means the base hates him.
  14. so the ticket is prince+dunlop and we’re just not gonna say anything?
  15. pay up deadbeats. daddy needs his $37.50.
  16. or just keep scoring 10 runs per game because apparently we have some sort of "cheat" code in that ballpark.
  17. hitting a guy increases the chances of the rangers scoring a run. he's only allowed one run since july, so i can deduce that he was not intentionally trying to allow a run. therefore, he was not intentionally trying to hit garcia. your witness.
  18. i'll say it. we hit him on purpose. fuck it. will that make everybody shut the fuck up about it? i'll take full responsibility. enough already. getting hit is a part of baseball and has been for 1.5 centuries. take your base. take advantage of 2 on/no out + wild pitcher. score some insurance runs. win the game. or don't, i don't care.
  19. it’s fine, we get him all to ourselves. as a selfish person, this works. the booing is stupid but it makes him better, so…
  20. or maybe just a healthy abreu that we're seeing right now, but all season?
  21. counterpoint - he's been in like 4 scenes. also this show has the awkwardest cameos since entourage.
