I editted all my comments, replacing whatever the text was for a message telling that greedy little pigboy to go fuck himself, and to train his AI on that. Every single one that I could find, because Reddit history sucks as much as its search.

And, by extension, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Melinda May, aka The Cavalry.

Or, if Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't Disney enough for you, Fennec Shand might do.

Couldn't tell a man from a plucked chicken.

Or economically, given the absurd costs of medical attention in the USA.

And do you know how he managed to make every frame in that film look like a period painting..? A very particular and expensive lens NASA gave him.

(Of course, though, while the man despised filming on location, he required massive amounts of reference pictures to build his sets, so even though the official moon landing was fake, NASA still had to get some astronauts there first to take those pictures for him.)

No, no, Kubrick hated shooting on location. All those Vietnam scenes in Full Metal Jacket..? Filmed right next to London.

Now, he did fake the moon landing, of course, that's why NASA gave him the lens he used to make every single frame in Barry Lyndon look like a period painting... but much like with the start of 2001 (also filmed in London), he wanted lots of location pictures for reference (he didn't want to go there, wherever it was, but he had no qualms whatsoever about sending other people), so he demanded NASA send astronauts to the moon anyway to take those pictures, and the official moon landing was faked using those pictures taken in the real one as reference.

It's a casino heist movie, you uncultured swine.

Also, lazyness and procrastination.

Photons move at the speed of light relative to the observer, regardless of the observer's speed.

If we're going physics-accurate, you wouldn't be blind, though you'd probably be a black hole (for a very brief time, before you evaporated due to Hawking radiation).

Photocopy of a photocopy.

Or, in more modern terms, JPEG of a JPEG.

As professor Farnsworth said when asked how many atmospheres the Planet Express ship could withstand: “Well, it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one”.

We used to do that too. Dog happily inhaled it, as dogs are wont to do. Eventually, dog had a stomach torsion. Had to have surgery. Miraculously survived. We kept feeding it rice stew (we're idiots, you see), dog kept inhaling it, despite warnings by the vet not to let it eat fast (how!?) and us trying our best (except not feeding him that kind of food, of course; as I said, idiots). Got second stomach torsion, second surgery. Didn't survive. Everyone was sad.

If your dog is medium to large (or smaller but with a wide chest) be careful it doesn't eat too fast.
