It felt like the movie was ten hours long. I will say I thought Hunham actually brought some personality to the movie.

Him and Jude Law at least seemed to be trying, everyone was was checked out.

The magic has no rules in this movie, so none of this shit happening has any weight.

Jude Law's character actually makes no sense. Not like he does things that are out of character or that the character is silly. No, straight up there is no underlying logic to anything he does.

It's like someone saw a Shadows of Mordor highlight video, went "That's sick", and made a movie based on that.

And Lord protect you if you give a damn about Arthurian legend and see this, because they chainsaw that shit and light the remains on fire. I mean Goddamn.

This movie has what could possibly be the single worst montage ever committed to film, and that's following up on one of the strangest placements of a Title card reveal I've ever seen.

To pad out the run-time or because they think the audience is braindead the movie has the same flashback four or five sperate times.

A lot of Jamaicans draw genetics from Ghana mostly no?
I'm assuming it's terribly hard to trace Caribbean Indigenous ancestry because of the history of that region.

I just think that 23andme don't bother with the differences, which is why there's no much "unknown". They just guess it's all West African if you let them "guess".

There's no reason why they can differentiate British and Irish from French but not Jamaican and West African.

Actually, I was thinking about it, and I changed my mind. I don't want to see any black story concept handled by this team of French white people and one to two black guys unless only those guys have the story and direction reins:

Telltale is about the same, though they are slightly more diverse.

But, you know, this is a big problem with the industry as a whole.

According to the International Game Developers Association, only 3% of game developers worldwide are black. Only 7% are Hispanic/Latino. Only 8% are East/South East Asian. Only 2.5% are Arab or West Asian. Only 4% are homosexual. Only 10% are bisexual. Only 1.5% are male-to-female transgender, and only 0.3% are female-to-male transgender.

And according to the stats, the majority of devs want more diversity in games and in the workplace. I'm actually wondering if the industry isn't in a good place to tackle these stories with any nuance or even at all until they get far more people of color into the industry.

This problem is going to be rectified in due time. Eventually you all will be able to name black names equivalent to that of Hideo Kojima, Ken Levine, Gabe Newell, and Tim Schafer. Some women too because they're 0 beyond a couple composers and Amy Hennig. We going to be all up in this shit. Best believe!

I just realized age 33 is drawing near— getting older, but at least that's still less than 1% of Slayven's age.

I told her that she can show her age by saying "three three" or holding up 3 fingers in each hand. Makes her feel cawaii.

Cash is King!

Last car we bought for the old lady they wanted 30k + 3k for some scarcity markup BS. I told ol boy to hold on a sec, I've got 27K cash money in this bag and either we can do the sale or I'll cross the street and buy a Cadillac ATS.

That cash spoke like no credit card could and she got her ride.

Straight cash for a final sale is always better than credit, even for a mark down-/+, instead of a markup, he would still get his full commission. This is why I only take cash from clients, unless they got that black.
