  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?

  • There are 50 states in the USA. They generally have the same rules of the road but you are being an idiot if you think that all states have the same laws. Does any other coalition in the world work like that?

    they just want to complain and pretend they are better than others.

  • The last battle is so much better in the book because for whatever reason, they couldn't get rights to Godzilla and other major popular characters.

    Just imagine the whole of the internet, everyone basically, in their avatar's with the best equipment they have gathered and all trying to fight the big bad corp to help the dude who is a nobody that seems to be doing the best at the "game". Five of the people have super avatars that can become giant and are super powered (rewards from previous challenges in the game). So there is a major battle at this castle with everyone in the world and the bad guy turns on his super suit and become Mechagodzilla (which is the biggest and baddest of the 5) and starts killing everyone.

    It makes that battle in the movie a real joke.

    I feel the reason that this movie is so good is because it is almost 100% exactly as the story in book

  • I had listened to the audio book before I saw the movie. The movie is so off the mark on the ridiculous life of Forest Gump. My favorite part of the book is that Jenny leaves him, she doesn't die, she leaves him because he becomes a major pot head.

  • I find they are always on when I stay at hotels. A few years ago it was always Harry Potter, now its always John Wick. The first movie is pretty good to watch in one sitting. But I am convinced the rest of the series is mean to be consumed in 5-10 minute chunks. Like coming and going through the hotel room while your doing other things. For that its pretty good cause you don't have to know any story to follow it for a minute or two. Just have to remember that you don't need to know who is who because they will probably die in the story soon anyways.

  • The Ready Player One book isn't that good but it is fun. The movie was a shitshow that doesn't even resemble the same story.

  • I have never seen it. I got wind of the similarities between the American Indian Wars and Dances With Wolves/Ferngully and decided that my time and money were better spent elsewhere. I don't need another reminder of the pain it is to be Lakota and look into the past.

  • I think Inception is the fluke because it was Nolan wanting to make the Neuromancer book into a film. But as anyone who has read it knows, explaining it is ultra hard. So the script writer probably had no idea what Nolan was talking about except for a few specific points and Inception was born out of it. The key clue is that in Neuromancer the throwing star is the main characters reminder of reality while in the film it was a toy.

    Still fits with your theory.

  • Did non-RGB mechanical keyboards cease to exist? Can anyone recommend some?

    Jump

  • From what I have experienced the obnoxious RGB lighting is just a settings option. They usually come with a few different types of settings. On my system, I just turn it so it blinks white after I push the button. Makes it nice to glance down and see if I hit the right key sometimes. Otherwise I never use the flashy colors or stuff except to show off to someone who hasnt seen it.
