In a move that's sure to convince people to buy 4K TVs, Variety reports that Netflix is now collaborating with the creators of the popular Planet Earth documentaries to release a massive nature series in 2019. Titled Our Planet, the eight-episode series will explore the natural world, making it the streaming giant's most ambitious documentary project to date.
In my high school bubble, it was cool, or at least unobjectionable, for Dashboard to be my favorite band. When I got to college, it became quickly apparent that this was something to hide. Emo was narcissistic, whiny, embarrassing. To be referenced ironically or, preferably, not at all. Emotion wasnt cool. You know what was cool? Pretention.
Originally, Mr. Kong said this was a problem inflicted on fifth-graders, leading to hand-wringing that Singapore children were way better at math than everyone else in the world and worries that Singapore children were being mentally abused with convoluted logic at a young age.
It turned out the problem actually came from a math olympiad test for math-savvy high school-age students.
What a farce. Not only is the contest weighted towards the scythe because Weed Whackers are meant for edging and trimming of WEEDS in hard to reach places, not thick grass, but the scythe cut that patch super uneven and it looks like absolute shit. The WeedWhacker took slightly longer but did a much neater, better job with less effort.
Really thought he comparison is absurd, Nobody would ever use a WeedWhacker to replace a scythe, they do completely different things, just like you’d never use a scythe to cut down weeds growing out of a sidewalk. If it’s for trimming a lawn it should be against a lawnmower, which would fucking destroy it, and if it’s for harvesting hay it should be against a combine harvester, which would destroy it exponentially more.
This is nothing more than lies and propaganda from butthurt scythelovers and I for one will not stand for it.
Gizmodo was able to get a screenshot of a listing for a $150 version of the toy launching on September 1, but it's unknown how much of this information is accurate and how much is just a placeholder for the actual listing.
You can compare that to the outline on the teaser page the company has set up:
"What an incredible honor it is to work with the team at Disney on one of the most interesting new characters in the Star Wars franchise,"...

More. Already have all of our shirts? Check out Philly Phaithful’s great selection.
Chase Utley was 3 for 24. All his hits came in one game. He ended Sunday’s game with a pinch-hit ground out and is 0 for his last 18, hitting .116 overall.
So if it wasn’t the Browns who offered a first round pick, which team was it? It’s hard to say for sure. Perhaps Kelly was just stretching the truth, but maybe not. There was a report in February that some NFL teams at the top of the 2015 NFL Draft order prefer Bradford to Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota. Was it one of those teams? If so, it might seem hard to believe the Eagles would receive such a high pick offer and then turn it down.
The Philadelphia Evening Post, a magazine about Philly history, isn’t going to work. But it’s a great idea.
Both Mediaite and the NY Post (I’m sure among others) wrote that perhaps the world was too quick to judge Britt McHenry. Completely agree. She may be a complete biatch, but it’s so obvious that video was edited, and the tow company seems like one of the worst businesses on Earth. No way she wasn’t being egged on.
Yet another WIP’er – former CB contributor Adam Reigner, who’s close to Josh Innes – made what appears to be a thinly-veiled reference about the talent on a certain local morning show this morning:
Amid torrential rain this morning signaling the impending Great Flood that Tebow will save us all from, NBC 10 meteorologist Bill Henley, who has the Twitter presence of Siri in an echo chamber, informed us all that it was raining:
Star Wars Battlefront, which hits Nov. 17 on the PS4, Windows PC and Xbox One, will focus on Rebel versus Empire firefights between up to 40 players on the ground and in an array of Star Wars vehicles, according to an AP report.
The game's demo, which was shown off during Star Wars Celebration under an embargo that lifts later today, included jetpacks, speeders, walkers and AT-ATs.
Locations mentioned in the story include Endor, Hoth, Tatooine and Sullust. Players who rack up enough in-game points will be able to take on the role of iconic characters like Boba Fett and Darth Vader on the battlefield, according to the story.
The game will also support TIE Fighter, X-wing and Millennium Falcon dogfights.
Drunk and high on Xanax, a friend of redditor yllwsnow2 made the spontaneous and well-considered decision to give himself the WORST POKEMON TATTOO EVER WITNESSED ON THE INTERNET. Behold this Charmander tat:
She directed some of the best episodes of Thrones and Breaking Bad. At least now she can hop over to Marvel and direct the Captain Marvel flick
According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Michelle MacLaren has hopped in her invisible jet and flown away from Warner Bros.’ Wonder Woman movie. MacLaren first joined Wonder Woman (which will star Gal Gadot as the wonderful woman) back in November, and she would’ve been the first female director to take on one of these big-budget superhero blockbusters if she had stuck with it. It also would’ve been her feature film debut, though she’s directed enough episodes of Game Of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead to make up for that.
As for why MacLaren is dropping out of Wonder Woman, THR cites the ever-citable “creative differences,” which means we have no idea why she’s leaving the project. Maybe—as seemed to be the case when Edgar Wright left Ant-Man—she didn’t like how hard the studio was forcing her hand in terms of establishing ...
When we debuted the first trailer for Marvel’s upcoming Ant-Man, we were a little nervous about the whole endeavor. The Edgar Wright kerfuffle and subsequent re-shuffling of the very small deck of actors wasn’t promising, even if hiring Peyton Reed helped to allay some fears. The first look at the film was equally disappointing, despite some good-looking effects and the always welcome presence of star Paul Rudd. This new trailer, on the other hand, feels much more reassuring. It’s got a more freewheeling and fun comic-book movie vibe, which feels like the tone you should be going for when your movie is called Ant-Man. It’s got action, it’s got jokes, it’s got Evangeline Lilly punching Paul Rudd in the face, everything. And if there’s more stuff like the great bit with the train set at the end, then it would seem that Reed ...
Farming has rarely looked this shiny and glamorous. Here's the first trailer forFarming Simulator 2015 for consoles.
The blockbuster game has sold over a million copies on PC, and now it's coming to consoles. This bucolic trailer shows all the usual agricultural activities, as well as co-operative multiplayer harvesting which will be available for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. In the game, players manage and develop a farm, taking care of cows, chicken and sheep, growing crops, selling food and buying better gear and vehicles.
Farming Simulator 2015 is out on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on May 19.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm could be better this way. Maybe they'll find a better way to handle books 4-6 a la Game of Thrones
Stephen King's magnum opus, a fantasy-horror series known as The Dark Tower, is once again on the path toward being turned into a movie series. Deadline reports that Sony Pictures will finance and distribute the first movie in what is intended to be a larger franchise. There are eight books in the series, which is about a "gunslinger" in a magical, Western world who's trying to find a weakening tower that's keeping the world together. The first film will be based on the series' first book, The Gunslinger, and is being written by Akiva Goldsman, who previously co-wrote I Am Legend, and Jeff Pinkner, who recently co-write The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Game of Thrones' fifth season premieres in three days, which doesn't give you much time to catch up on the first 40 episodes of the show. Thankfully, Key & Peele's Valets are here to recap the series — or at least, its major character deaths.
The exuberant, Neesons-loving Valets at the Berkshire Restaurant cover character deaths from Game of Thrones' first season all the way through the fourth, so major spoilers abound, obviously. (The video contains NSFW language.)
Over the course of the season, the national media outlook on the Sixers has bounced back and forth between “the Sixers are a disgrace” and “the Sixers are fascinating.” The benchmark piece for the latter so far this year was the one written for ESPN the Magazine by Pablo Torre, but today’s Michael Sokolove piece in the New York Times is a must-read. Other than the fun tidbit on being told to stand with his back to the wall so LeBron James could walk down the hallway unimpeded in Cleveland, Sokolove dug in on Sam Hinkie:
Hinkie’s strategy has some precedent, though no team ever gone about it as systematically. Years ago, Red Auerbach, the canny head of the Boston Celtics, spent a first-round pick on Larry Bird, who, for complicated reasons, was eligible to be drafted even though he would be playing another year of college basketball. Auerbach, willing to wait while others were not, got a once-in-a-generation player.
I spent a good deal of time talking with Hinkie. He is an engaging man with a dry sense of humor who will enthusiastically share the thinking behind his moves — just not on the record. Like an operative in Washington, he wants to be understood but not quoted.
He also talked about Brett Brown’s futuristic, battery-powered basketball:
One day while I was in his office, he had a basketball sitting in the corner that was plugged into an outlet, charging. He explained to me that a computer chip in it could measure the arc of shots, speed of passes and even how hard a player pounds his dribble. He had used the ball with his 10-year-old son’s team, which he coached whenever his schedule allowed it, and was looking forward to trying it at a Sixers practice next season.
And on the feel of the team:
The practice that morning went for more than three hours and was loud and boisterous. Brown had them play a three-on-three tournament — the winners got to watch as the losers went through a short conditioning drill. The losers in a five-on-five scrimmage did push-ups. The players whooped and hollered when their teams made a shot, and argued over foul calls like they were in a playground pickup game. It was a happy gym. If you just listened to the sounds, you would have thought the Sixers were a winning team. And, in a way, they were.
Previously, Innes.
