I think the thing that bothers me about poorly done live action remakes is we have the blue print for how to do it right.
One Piece is colorful, expressive, and totally unrealistic. It’s every crazy and wacky thing about animation done in a way that makes sense in that realistic looking fake world.
It’s not a shot for shot remake of the original, but keeps enough to honor the original.
One Piece can take $250 million and give you 10 hours of engaging, exciting live action animation. A movie with a fraction of the runtime and same budget can’t pull that off? That’s just bad.
Rotten Tomatoes is just a Yes/No do reviewers think you should you see the movie.
You can write a 5/10 review but still say “see the movie for yourself” because there’s interesting things going on.
That’s a perfect score as an RT rating.
There's just no way the actual audience rating is 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Metacritic has the movie at a 5.3/10 user score, Letterboxd has it at 4.3 and IMDB has it at 8.3/10.
Rotten Tomatoes is removing negative reviews at the behest of the studio.
For a lot of parents, finding a babysitter you can pay for or even a friend for free is not the problem. The problem is most people don’t trust anyone to leave their kids alone with another, let alone a city employee stranger.
At the risk of being a libertarian killjoy, I don’t think that providing free babysitting during a night out is one of the legitimate functions of the state.
@ClayTravis The media will still call it a conspiracy theory. Trump is not allowed to be a source of anything real for them. It’s all speculation to them until they decide it’s in their advantage to talk about it.
I’m with you up until you said no one in China is protesting data centers. I’m sure people are protesting but they can be silenced.
China built a world-class high speed rail to connect the country in a fraction of the time by bulldozing over farmland and rural communities. Plenty of people protested, but there are limited private property rights, so the government did what it wanted at the speed it wanted.
We are trying to expand our infrastructure in a respectable, moral way against a country that will plow ahead to the future no matter who gets hurt along the way. We will always be behind, but we can win in other ways.
Is “equal potential” a flaw of emphasizing “freedom”, “independence”, “American dream” in this country?
Kids are told you can be and do anything in life, from being an astronaut to a musician. All you need to do is put your mind to it.
When actually, every kid will have certain skills and will realistically follow a limited number of career options.
They need community approval to build, so you need the local community to see some kind of benefit.
When a new retail store is built, the community can immediately see value in bustling activity and new consumer options for them.
When a new bland office park is built, the community can see an immediate benefit as it becomes a place where people can work and other supporting infrastructure like restaurants are built around it.
When a data center is built… what does it bring? It’s built by faraway people who leave when they’re done, for the benefit of tech companies 1000 miles away. You could build it one town over or in the jungle and it would be the same result for the community.
Charging confiscatory taxes is the only reason to invite in a data center, and who knows what happens to that money. It’s not like people trust their local governments to spend wisely.
If the land stayed vacant at least some kids could run around and play baseball on it.

Notice how Nithya Raman just completely disappeared after they blocked us out of the general election?
She's not campaigning at all. Like a pickpocket disappearing into the crowd. Just a ghost. I told you her campaign was a scam. Colluding with Bass from the start.
This trickling in of vote counts every 5 minutes just makes the election look like a sports match where the lead keeps changing even though nothing is really happening.
Why is the solution to this a national biannual clock change rather than a localized change of the school schedules?
Why should people in latitudes unaffected or nominally affected by axial tilt have to deal with this?
@Equality7d2521@TheCalvinCooli1 Rush hour is in full swing at 7:30. Doesn’t matter if the sun rises at 8 or 9, it’s still dark. At least this way you can have some extra sun when you get home, instead of also driving home in the dark.
@todayyearsold Who drives to work at 9am? Rush hour is already in full swing at 7:30. It’s dark no matter what. Having extra sun after work is more preferable.
@iowahawkblog Is there anymore more wonderful than getting out of school at 3pm and the sun is already setting, knowing that your prime sunlight hours were wasted under fluorescent lights?
@upstatefederlst There’s no time zone where the sun rises for a 6:30 bus in January. The argument should be to push back school hours to start around 8:30-9 since every study shows that helps education.
