Is that simply a reference to it going over budget? I never got that joke.

That’s not how IMDb rating works. It’s just an aggregate based on the number of users voting on it. It’s basically useless at distinguishing a stinker from a watchable weeknight movie from a masterpiece. Rotten Tomatoes attempts to address this imbalance with a weighted scheme, which usually works better for well-known movies.

Same, not for Taxi Driver, but for The Deer Hunter, Chinatown, Life is Beautiful, Amour…

Art is subjective (and most people are philistines)

Nah I think it means ‘chuck your stuff in a sack and get out of here’. Sac(k) to refer to balls is probably also a very old usage from French but since it’s vulgar it likely didn’t become the colloquialism meaning to be removed from one’s job. It is a funny homonym though.

lol dunno why the downvotes but that’s hilarious if you don’t use the word ‘sack’ someone as a synonym for ‘fire’ someone where you come from!

I can’t believe we’re still talking about that shitty propaganda! I remember anticipating an interesting documentary about quantum implications, then went to see it with some other physics nerds and being disgusted by the hamfisted mix of fundamentalist religion framed as “science”. What have they done to us? WHAT DID THEY DO TO US

materialise?

Right. Carrots and potatoes are legumes now are they? The commenter replied to you summarised it for you, and you don’t know as much as you think you do.

You mean the proprietary ones that came with your iPhone? Well that covers every use case anyone could ever have.

Fucking Sony, they’re mad for proprietary shit in the name of protecting the company and completely fuck over the paying user in the process

I was wondering if it was a reference to something

Birth certificate says William. Card says moops

I think he’s going for a hipster New York Loft aesthetic.

Trait is/can be pronounced as ‘tray’.

Counterpoint: telling people how they are supposed to prepare their food, which they consume and becomes a part of them and as such is intensely personal, is a dick move.
