We have not seen any other driver in that McLaren this year, do maybe it speaks a lot of the car, but for a rookie in his first session this is highly unusual.

Ah yes, looks like piefed.social is currently having an outage or trouble. That explains it

For some reason I can not access the new community coming from piefed.zip . Fetching it fails.

I've seen stuff from minds.com on my mastodon timeline quite a while ago, so it must have been at least some time now that they're federated

Sainz and Wolff dropping out after multiple national automobile clubs have already thrown their support behind Ben Sulayem. Looks like they know they wouldnt have a chance how it stands right now.

I hope at least the european clubs will vote against him. Hugely disappointing to see clubs from South America and other places support Sulayem.

So these are the guidelines that the stewards use when deciding on on-track incidents. I didnt even know that there are standardized guidelines like that.

Really interesting comments by Watts on how Covid impacted the no way home production in multiple ways:

“The emotional strain of having to go through all of those COVID protocols while also trying to make something creative while also trying to make sure that your cast and crew were all safe — literally, people could’ve died if you did things wrong — that and the postproduction process was very difficult. When you’re doing [visual effects work], there’s a whole international component to it where you’re using vendors from all over the world, and the supply chain had been interrupted because of COVID. It was really hard to get effects done in a traditional way.”

Of course it isnt fun when you go into it with the mindset that the story will be that. I have only watched the first episode so far and it doesnt seem like Iron Man to me at all, bar the fact that it's comic booky and superheroe-y.

And my point was that reviews should actually review a show/movie. And not be a general feedback tool for how a franchise is perceived. The studios have failed in providing such more broad and general feedback channels.

Their new company split is not splitting Warner Brothers from Discovery though. They are splitting the company in a different way.

Good pick imo, he knows thrill

 

Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film, Amazon MGM Studios has revealed, with Tanya Lapointe signing on as an executive producer. As previously announced, Amy Pascal and David Heyman will serve as producers.

“Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since ‘Dr. No’ with Sean Connery. I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory,” Villeneuve said. “I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor. Amy, David, and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust.”

Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, added, “We are honored that Denis has agreed to direct James Bond’s next chapter. He is a cinematic master, whose filmography speaks for itself. From ‘Blade Runner 2049’ to ‘Arrival’ to the ‘Dune’ films, he has delivered compelling worlds, dynamic visuals, complex characters, and—most importantly—the immersive storytelling that global audiences yearn to experience in theaters. James Bond is in the hands of one of today’s greatest filmmakers and we cannot wait to get started on 007’s next adventure.”

Case in point, apparently you don't even realize that this isn't a movie. It's a show.

People review bombing stuff that they don't want to see, and probably didn't even see (or just the first five minutes), simply is not behaviour that should be encouraged. Unfortunately nowadays reviews don't mean shit anymore for the original purpose of reviews: to be a guide for people who are interested in watching something, to see if watching this particular thing is worthwhile.

Nowadays these reviews or ratings are being used by the monoculture people to say "at the moment our monoculture likes x and hates y". And that's stupid bs that the mainstream has caused.

 

First episodes of the Ironheart show are now out on Disney+

 

Pretty funny video that Paul Ripke and him came up with there!
