    oh god i want to fast forward 3 years so badly

    I too desire a post-apocalyptic landscape after the cleansing fires of nuclear death level the Earth in 2015.

    wait, are you telling me that by the time i graduate, begin my career, and get my own place... all the yuppie restaurants and art house theaters and bars-full-of-big-tittied-women will be ashes?

    kill me now, make it merciful;
    yuppie restaurant -> cannibal soup kitchen
    art house theatre -> now run by crazed psychopath with unwilling human 'exhibits'
    bars-full-of-big-titted-women -> All woman mad max style motorcycle gang called the Valkyries.
    In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phoney God's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

    I always feel much cuter at like 4 AM.

    I want to know if that's because something happens with the blood in my face or if I am sleep drunk.

    Also if sleep drunk me is more accurate than regular type me.

    Yeah that's actually kind of my thought pattern.

    Like I am impaired since I just woke up and also am tired and not getting enough sleep. Ain't no question about that. But... normally when I look at myself I've got so much random psychological shit and pessimism and self hatred mixed in. You can't look at yourself without putting a thousand neuroses into what you see. You can't see yourself how others see you.

    So it's honestly entirely possible that being impaired makes this more accurate, since being impaired really means losing most of the random bias that an alert brain would have.

    HR can be terrible and I certainly have been back stabbed by one personally at my first real job but from the other side they can be pretty useful.

    If you have lots of employees who are the normal range of people -then there will be lots of small issues that come up that need to be managed, from minor personality conflicts through to really nasty issues. Often that require long term management (in the UK or NZ anyway). Either you do it yourself and not focus on your real job or you get someone to do it for you.

    Then once you have them you give them other relevant tasks and next thing you know you have systems or processes for Africa and all you really wanted was someone to deal with the nutters.

    I think once you're earning millions of dollars a movie, there's no real way you can claim you deserve X because you did Y.

    You're lucky, you're making huge amounts of money, and you should either do the movies that you want or not.

    Negotiating like, 'I am worth $45 million to this company, not $35 million' may be factually true, but it doesn't make me think very much of the person saying it.

    I'm not saying Marvel come out of that story well, but they're a multinational company who already have a bad reputation.

    Aside from Robert Downey Jr, who is so amazing and identified with their role they couldn't be recast? Sam Jackson, maybe. Sure, pony up a decent wodge of cash for the actors, but it's not like the cast can swan about thinking each of them is irreplaceable. I doubt this is anything that's going to derail the movie.

    As Ed Norton found out.

    i'm not pro-marvel or anything but i laughed really hard at whedon talking about 'middle class actors'. what a joke. if someone is a draw then ok, pay them a sickening amount of money. if i were scarlet johansson or chris hemsworth i probably would make noise and try to make more than i'm getting because money is awesome.

    but calling someone who gets say, 1.2m a picture instead of 5m a picture, 'middle class'... is just amazing

    I was lying on the couch and my dad walked by and I complained about insomnia. He came by and patted the cat and me, except I was under the covers so he couldn't see and patted my chest.

    FUCKING AWKWARD.

    Also painful.
  • BogartBogart Registered User regular
    You could recast any of the main cast except Iron Man and Nick Fury and I don't think it would be too jarring. Or just leave one or two out and add in Luke Cage, Quicksilver or whoever and it's all good.

    95% of the cast would have a hard time justifying a massive salary increase based on their box office pull.

    Woah, wtf. Game Informer says the map in GTA5 is 3.5 times the size of Red Dead Redemption??

    Sounds about right for San Andreas.

    Based on estimates and comparisons between San Andreas, RDR and the 3.5 times figure the map in 5 is going to be over twice the size of the old San Andreas map.

    Which is about what I'd expect going from SA on ps2/xbox to GTA5 on ps3/360.

    It's just one thing to expect or hope for, and another to be told that, and then actually experience. Combine that with the promise of five times the pedestrian density I feel like GTA5 is going to have an incredible amount of detail and explorability. I might get it at launch now.

    I'm still pretty surprised by how detailed GTA5 on PC is already. It can get even moreso when you factor in mods to do things like increase traffic and pedestrian density and improve some of the in-game visual effects.

    I still find it pretty crazy when I run up to surfaces and find the textures really crazy detailed, and then realize they're also fully bump-mapped. 'Course, there's also a substantial performance hit getting that level of detail with lots of models and physics on-screen at once.

    HBO's own attitude toward it is pretty progressive. They seem to realize that not every single download = a potential sale, and that more people watching a show = more buzz/word-of-mouth. They also admit that it's basically their own fault given how many people were perfectly willing to pay for something like a season pass to HBO GO just for GoT (ie. me), and are apparently working out a way to make that happen.

    Unfortunately IM3 SPOILERS
    RDJ is also the easiest to not have appear in Avengers 2, since IM3 had so much closure for him. Like I'd be totally comfortable with Rhodey taking his spot in future Avengers movies, and think that's a better solution than recasting Tony Stark.
