  1. Both Leia and Tarkin had motion capture provided by different actors.
  2. CGI Tarkin was a big misstep. His presence was never convincing. It would have been ok had his appearance been limited to the reflection in the window or a hologram, but he got nearly as much screen time as Ben Mendelsohn and it was just distracting. Frankly, I'm kind of bored of movies about Death Stars and the rebel-empire conflict. I want to see more Jedi.
  3. The host that Man in Black encountered at Wyatt's camp is the same one that greeted him 30 years ago
  4. This episode solidified the theory with the reappearance of the host who used to be the park greeter when William arrived 30 years prior

  6. Saw Arrival last night. Jeremy Renner's character serves zero purpose. He's a theoretical physicist whose expertise isn't put to use once.
  7. Kingdom. It doesn't get the attention it deserves because it's a DirectTV show.
  8. I subscribed to the theory that William is the Man in Black the moment he put on the white hat, but it's so obvious at this point that I'm kind of worried it's all a red herring.
  9. This confirms the dual time period theory and that the scenes with Bernard and Dolores are actually depicting Arnold 30 years prior https://www.reddit.com/r/westworld/comments/5ctwfo/we_have_seen_the_basement_before/
  10. Clinton et al. don't represent the left. They're more center-right than anything. Trump won because Clinton neglected to address the working class and by sabotaging Sander's campaign, she alienated an enormous segment of the population that would have otherwise voted against Trump.
  11. Those aren't livable earnings in California. And no one should have to work 70 hours a week to make ends meet. This type of sentiment suggests that you've never had to work a minimum wage job. Were you born into privilege? Sure, we need more skilled people in the primary sector. We need more nurses and engineers. We also need people in the service industry. Furthermore, raising minimum wage would be a good thing because it increases consumer demand.
  12. It was one of my most anticipated shows and it lived up to the hype. I'm most curious about Teddy. They gave the impression that he was a human at the beginning and he seemed shocked that the bullets didn't affect Ed Harris. I know they're not able to harm visitors, but are they even supposed to fire at the them?
  13. Video of Ryan Lochte and his friends causing trouble at the gas station http://g1.globo.com/rio-de-janeiro/olimpiadas/rio2016/noticia/2016/08/video-do-posto-de-gasolina-mostra-confusao-com-nadadores-americanos.html give it a few seconds to load after the initial error message
  14. Where did Heyman get his information? If I'm not mistaken, the Angels offered Pujols about 20 million more than the Cardinals.
  15. Hey, man. You need to stop eating so much rice and beans and eat some of my "rice and beans."
  16. I might be in the minority, but I don't find the conclusions to many of these story arcs very satisfying. They were naturally developed over the course of 5 seasons and with 14 episodes to go it feels like the writers are scrambling to wrap up everything with a neat little bow.
  17. Cersei is the rightful heir because she was Robert's wife and no other Baratheons exist. However, anyone can come along and take it by force.
  18. I'd probably trade Lewis Brinson for Matt Shoemaker
  19. The title alone is patently false. The parking surcharge (which typically goes to the city in these cases) is instead going to the owners, mitigating some of the city's financial burden caused by things like bonds. It's merely an alternative to bank financing and not the nefarious scheme sites like Deadspin are making it out to be.
  20. Doesn't really make sense to enforce this unless you have carpet. Shoes on carpet don't even bother me unless they're heavily soiled.
  21. http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/19/hollywood-reacts-anton-yelchin-death
  22. I wouldn't exactly call a 197 wrc+ over a full season a "fluke." It's more of an outlier. That's not a reasonable standard for any player not named Bonds.
  23. Admittedly, I don't know how battled ball data is calculated on Fangraphs, but I think it's a very small part of the equation. Grichuk reminds me of JP Arencibia who's also had decent batted ball profiles but has never been a good hitter.
