Man, this F1 race in Vegas is such a disaster, and F1 is doing themselves no favors

90 minutes...crazy. Did you see the new update where you can watch live TV while biking? Just saw it yesterday, haven't tried it yet

I had been doing it for the last month or two. There was a way to like tap into the about icon on the home screen and tap the corner of the screen 10 times and it would pull up a secret menu that had the netflix and youtube tv icons

Why does Hollywood keep trying to make the Fantastic Four a thing. How many reboots/relaunches of this shitty story do you need

It's still a massive IP and it makes sense to finally integrate it into the MCU. It hasn't really gotten a fair shake for a movie adaptation. The first two attempts were both done under the leadership of Fox, who owned the IP at the time. The MCU desperately needs to integrate more iconic characters with most of the Avengers gone, and the F4 and X-Men are going to be a huge part of that over the next decade.

Four.

I hear the last one will be fantastic.

Fantastic Four was always way down on my interest list from Marvel comics as a kid.

I never bothered with any of their titles and probably only time I ever read anything was cross-overs.

Although I feel like Marvel/Disney thought they were going to hold off on the "x-men" for a number of years so they'd go with the F4 first... but now because of delays and everything it doesn't seem like that's going to be the case. I think F4 are just going to be overshadowed by a reintroduced X-men since they are probably going to join the MCU closer together then it looked like when they got the rights back.

@DancingPanther Had my 3rd leqvio shot yesterday. It was my 6-month shot. After my initial shot and 3 month shot, my cholesterol levels went from 421 mg/dl to 179 mg/dl. I'll get blood work done in 3-4 weeks to see how any changes from this week. I'll let you know how it goes.

It all depends on the casting and how well written they are, like anything else.

I do think they intend on Dr. Doom becoming the next big bad after Kang (who they might be pivoting away from early thanks to Jonathan Majors legal troubles). He's probably one of the main reasons they are eager to get back into the F4.

Yeah dude those pcsk9 inhibitors just slash your cholesterol. Glad it's working out for you, keep trying to be healthy on top of it too

Eichinger's first attempt was the Roger Corman version that was never intended to be released. I swear this is somehow the best FF movie ever made.

@Amorgus might have tracked this down too? I'm not saying it's great by any means. But it is better than the Fox ones. It's corny, but it makes sense. They did the best they could with such a ridiculously low budget.

Made the same year Jurassic Park came out:

They've found the dumbest man on earth.

I can't remember whose standup it was that said they always find the dumbest person in the area to interview on the news.

The "That doesn't happen here" reminds me of a phone conversation I had with Kitten shortly before I moved in with her. I was telling her how the part of town I lived in was not the bad part, and she really didn't need to worry when she came over to my apartment. While I'm on the phone with her, I hear POP POP from the alley behind my building. Somehow, she was not convinced lol

Said goodbye to our 13.5 yr old Springer today. Cancer sucks, whether in people or pets. I will skip details, but his tail was wagging today when Lil Swami arrived to say her peace, that was tough. Still have the now 5 yr old.

I’m so sorry. I lost my husky to cancer 3 years ago and I still miss him. It’s nice to hear that your boy was still able to experience some happiness at the end.
