    I already own most of Miyazaki's movies, and if the euro price is anything to go by that thing is gonna be like $240 or something.

    Gonna have to pass, I still haven't gotten a PS4.

    So Vacation wasn't bad but it does something that really bothers me in comedies. It points out the visual jokes. Instead of a funny scene just being funny, the characters have to point out the funny.

    They did that in the trailer. I was already skeptical, but that put me right off.

    That was before America won the football, of course.

    With that horrifying victory, America forever declared Football the sport where you wear helmets and tackle people, and the sport where you kick things "I unno. Soccer, maybe? That's a name, yeah?"

    Pretty sure NASCAR is deadlier than all of those.

    And Football is more dangerous than Boxing or Soccer.

    Football has had 1 recorded death on the field ever

    super not safe at all but if we're talking about 'death' sports its not in the top five
    f1 had its first race casualty in decades last month, a kid barely in his twenties passed away after being in a vegetative state for a year

    You're right it looks like the last one was in 2004

    I was looking at a list and misread it, it just said "racing" and for some reason I assumed F1

    Motorcycling/Nascar are both more dangerous than F1

    that was i think a formula 3 race

    the last f1 race that had a fatality in it was the death of the legendary ayrton senna in 1994

    It's like football divisions, but I don't know if you have something similar in US sports. Smaller leagues where smaller teams compete, but some can get good enough to graduate to a higher tier league?

    We do - baseball has the minor leagues, basketball has the D league, hockey also has some tiered system I can't remember the name of.

    Can we talk about how many times I've watched Like Mike? Because no one plays creepy like Crispen Glover.

    One reason I think baseball makes for good movies because there actually isn't a lot of action and what does happen is spread out chronologically. So it is easy to have the movie be about something else but centered around baseball. There is plenty of time for characters to interact during the game, even moreso than football.

    I don't care much for baseball but there are a handful of baseball movies that I love.

    Which is why I said dangerous. You aren't gonna die on the field, but you are gonna shave so many years off your life.

    And that's still after they put in rules to reduce concussions.

    And boxing is hardly a deathsport anymore, but it is more dangerous given that the softer gloves make it more likely that you will get a concussion and long term damage than short term.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    Ok. I'm looking forward to Ghostbusters, but I seriously doubt that the jokes will come close to gems like "Print is dead," or "That's the bedroom, but nothing ever happened in there." "What a crime!"

    It's worth pointing out that NASCAR is a governing body that oversees a number of series. (When most people say NASCAR they're talking about the Sprint Cup series. Which is sad. Because NASCAR's asphalt modifieds get no love, despite being infinitely more entertaining.)

    I'm actually disappointed that Mad Max Fury Road wasn't released in theaters later in the year, because now I can't write that "Mission Impossible Rogue Nation is my favorite action movie of 2015" because Fury Road ran off with that title months ago.

    Dang I just saw this on Wikipedia:
    On April 13, 2015, author Peter Gallagher filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in California federal court against the makers of the film. Gallagher claims that due to the similarities between the film and his 2006 novel The Little White Trip: A Night In the Pines, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard had used his work without permission. The lawsuit demands $10 million in damages. Whedon and Goddard were named as defendants, along with the production company Mutant Enemy Productions and distributor Lionsgate.

    Has anyone heard of this book?

    It was a self-published novel that he sold on a boardwalk and one of his main pieces of "evidence" is that Drew Goddard lives kinda close to the boardwalk

    I believe one of his points was that he was selling his book on the street near where Mutant Enemy has their offices and therefore Joss Whedon would totally know of his book.

    Edit: Close enough.
