    You know, I was impressed with Morena Baccarin.  She held her own very well with Reynolds during her initial scenes.

    I was, too. I think she's lousy in Gotham, but she didn't phone this one in.

    Have you seen her in Homeland and other roles? She is appearing in a lot of stuff and her nude scenes haven't seem to hurt her career, 

  2. Even though he was much more of an exaggerated version of his character, I enjoyed CGI Colossus and finally seeing a version of his character close to his comic counterpart.  Negasonic turned out to be a fun character too who I hope we see more of. 

     

    $120 million for an R-rated film is really impressive.

    It is he highest single opening day for a r-rated film. Last R-rated film that got the highest opening fri-sun weekend was Silence of the Lambs. R-rated films don't make a lot of money cost wise compared to pg-13 films. 

  3. Lol!!

    They will still do it though. But then these are the parents that buy games for their kids like Grand Theft Auto and act all outraged when they watch it played. Yeah I think the content descriptors on the box and the title should have warned you off. 

     

    I wish I could remember the guy who did a horror movie based on his experience as a video rental clerk explaining to a mom that the movie with the title death of, blood, guts or what ever is probably not something you want a child to see. There was some very specific title that you made you think that people should be put on mandatory birth control and only allowed to have children after a battery of tests had been gone through.

    I'm so intrigued as to how Italian Americans came up with green tea ice cream? In the 60's? I didn't see the first episode and I don't mean to be offensive, honestly but they are Italian, right?

    According to a new york times article, the grandfather was tired of vanilla ice cream and someone told him about all the Japanese restaurants that were popping up.   so he experimented with green tea flavors and listened to what the Japanese chefs told him to refine it. He then sold the stuff to Japanese restaurants for them to sell to customers.

  5. Keyport Creamery wasn't a name change. It was an Umbrella Brand meant to have other things made by the Mr Green Tea people such as   Gelato. Mr Green Tea is Asian inspired ice creams. A line of gelato wouldn't work with the name and image of Mr Green Tea. Now Marcus may do it as a separate brand if other ice creams came out but he really wasn't changing the name for shits and giggles, it was if the company expanded into other product lines. 

  6. I just started watching but I wanted to ask if anyone has tried this ice cream?  I bought the green tea and chai (3 of each is the way they shipped it). The green tea is delicious.  The chai is very spicy and I wished it was creamier.  

    While the pint locator shows a ton of places carry it none are within a 100 miles. Ten bucks  a pint is a bit much to have it shipped to me. The reuseable cooler may be the deal breaker. Was it a good quality one?. Despite your wish was the chai very good?

  7. I'm most excited to see Black Panther and a seasoned Scarlet Witch in action.

    Btw, wasn't this storyline seen as a mistake by the Marvel comics fandom? It looks great and I trust the Russos, but still.

    They are just using the name. Registration is a no but some oversight of the Avengers and crackdown on vigilantes due to recent events. SO far it looks like not only will the story be reasonable but no side will be made to look evil.

    I don't remember Betsy's psychic katana able to cut through cars but, okay, sure. Why not?

     

     

    People somehow forget it isn't just mind but also works on the molecular level due to telekinesis. MTA1u.jpg

     

    She also do other weapons besides the katana. She can do a bow and other weapons that actually have weight such as a 90 pound spiked flail. . 

  9. It's really a matter of the right actor in the right role. Reynolds was horribly miscast as Green Lantern (they would have done better to get even one of those ruggedly wooden soap opera actors), but I can't think of anyone that would make a better Deadpool than he. It's casting perfection on the order of Patrick Stewart as Professor X or RDJ as Iron Man.

    Green Lantern was poorly written, poorly directed. Wouldn't matter who got the role the movie was garbage.

     

    Deadpool is also in an Esurance ad, rescuing a cat from a tree, proving that he's not only a humanitarian, he's an animal lover.

  10. When was it last not one of the most expensive cities? 

     

    Poor Christina. Too bad we didn't get to see Marcus drill down into why Christina needs others to know that she's not weak? 

    ITs gotten way more expensive since 2009. We are talking illegal to move into shack (since it considered unsafe for humans) going for two million expensive.

    I guess it doesn't get that hot where I live, because I can't imagine anyone spending that much on a giant, portable, individual "air conditioner."  And where are you supposed to get blocks of ice when you are camping?

    The product just reminds me of this gif image. 007523064e428da9e7271d0eb107ef1c.jpg

  12. But most people have no idea what Highland Park is. Its a suburb of Chicago in the Chicago metro area. Usually people when they state something is in an area that is a metro just identify the city the metro area is named after rather then some what used to be a town on its own a hundred years ago. I live in a city that has a metro area of several hundred thousand people. The people in the various communities that comprise it put down the city the metro area is comprised of not the individual towns that it is comprised of. Most people just state they are neighborhoods of the city and don't even realize the neighborhoods have mayors of their own and just identify the big city mayor as their mayor.

  13. I've actually never heard Highland Park (or any suburb outside of Chicago) singled out as an example of a safe area within the city of Chicago.  Regardless, it's misleading to tell people that there's a Simple Greek in Chicago when it is, in fact, 35 miles outside of Chicago.  I understand why Lemonis would not want to make that distinction, but he really should.  

    I have. Also take a look here http://www.thesimplegreek.com/apps/store-locator. Unless you zoom in a bunch guess where the dot is. Chicago.

  14. Regarding The Simple Greek, I just want to make an observation about "the Chicago store".  That store is in Highland Park, NOT Chicago.  Highland Park is a suburb about 30+ miles north of Chicago.   It's a lovely place, but people from Chicago are not running over to Highland Park for a quick lunch, no matter how fresh and tasty.  It always annoys me when people act like anything within a day's drive of Michigan Avenue is Chicago.

    Yet when Chicagoians have their crime issue pointed out they often state Highland Park is one of the safe areas of Chicago. Its part of the Chicago metropolitan area hence to everyone outside of Chicago it is Chicago. Its not a separate city to 99.9999% of the country. 

    I noticed that, too. And it bugged me.

     

    I think they are still two distinct places. I lived in Silicon Valley from 1998-2012, and in that time period, SF was The City, and Silicon Valley was not. Different cultures, different businesses, different people, etc.

    Its because of the googlians moving into San Fran. Due to google employees rent and housing prices in San Fran have exploded. Now San Fran is one of the most expensive  cities to live in and there are protests against Google and Landlords are kicking out renters to list the places on Airbnb.

  15. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched it since it's been on HBO (saw it twice in the theater and once on demand), and it really is one of those films where you see something new every time you watch it. All sorts of little unexplained details that intrigue you and make the would feel more real, eg why do the Buzzards speak Russian?

    There are immigrant communities in Australia. You have had communities in the US where English was a second language due to the large number of immigrants and this has been true for centuries here. In other countries such as Russia the Buzzards speak German which is apparently more realistic considering that there is a ;large German speaking  minority community in Australia.

  16. Blame the potato salad.

    A guy puts "potato salad" as his kickstarter project as a joke. People pledge $55,000 as a joke. He gets famous and receives a bunch of money. Lots of new people think they can get easy money too. Since there's no real barrier to asking, now anyone's nonsense is a crowdfunding opportunity.

    Did that guy actually give the majority of what was raised to charity like he said he would?

  17. I'm happy for them that they've managed to create a successful enough business, but the whole celebration of bullets just grosses me out.  I hate the notion of "a bullet shell to open your beer" as the epitome of America.

    Technically that is the casing. Also don't you know bullets are freedom seeds.

     

    Also there are many other things that could epitome American culture. Take for example the shirt the Mandarin wore in Iron Man 3. It was hard to spot during the film but here it is.http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1009/6504/products/762-001-469-01.jpg?v=1446070859

  18. Well the booth was really good and the products looked great. Depending on the fragrances, I could see this working, IF the original owners work with him.

    You still have the Wicked candle line with the pre dripped ones. The other stuff is new and interestingly has a burn time of 100 hours. I am curious enough to order one and see how it smells. 

  19.  

    It's hard to fault her for thinking that a video about a unicorn pooping ice cream isn't going to work.

    As the article notes "Even Squatty Potty's other founders, Edwards' parents, weren't keen on the royal-themed, scatological joke-filled digital short."

     

    Viral videos can be a huge miss or backfire badly. Not every one who intends to make a viral video or local tv commercial that becomes famous  has the talents of Rhett and Link when it comes to off beatness. This is an example of what it takes to make such a video https://youtu.be/q-RLqLx1iYI?list=PL1C494D754EA8475Fand have it be a viral hit rather then a miss.
