Those actors either aren't desperate enough to do a movie as pointless as a Rambo presequel or don't carry the name recognition. It may surprise you to learn that a huge amount of consumers are completely unaware of Franco's controversy.
Wow, I really don't like the character redesigns. "StarFox characters... but in real life" seems a bit uninspired. I think the rest of the visuals look great though.
You can divide culture and grammar. It's simple: your hypothetical long exchange can trchnically be expressed in the Japanese language at 1/5 the length and still retain grammatical correctness and meaning. i.e. the long exchange is not a result of the technical aspects of language, i.e. it has nothing to do with pronoun ommission. The cultural aspect of language is what makes the conversation long. And you're making a huge assumption about the context of the exchange. Is it between two strangers? Family members? Sibling? Friends? A king and a peasant? Classmates? All of these situations would have exchanges with different lengths and grammar, but this arises from the culture. We do the same thing in English too. On average, an email between a boss and an employee will probably be longer and more formal than between two friends, no? Not as long as an equivalent email in Japanese, but the same trend exists in both languages is my point.
"Politness ping pong" has a lot less to do with the technical aspects of Japanese and more to co with cultural norms. i.e. it's not a design flaw in the grammar.
Agree to disagree. I cook with EVOO all the time, and it does not taste bitter to me (and I regular cook with avocado oil, so I have a comparison point). It's not "wasteful" if you buy a Costco sized bottle of their cheaper stuff. Yeah, don't use your artisinal EVOO to fry something up. Kirkland brand EVOO is perfectly fine for frying and finishing, dressings, etc.
This is something that is repeated a lot, but it is simply not true. No, you shouldn't use it for high heat cooking. However you can definitely sweat onions and do other low-mid temp cooking. If your oil doesn't smoke when it hits the pan, then you're fine. I cook with EVO every day.
I prefer much oatmeal much less loose. I do a 1:3 ratio of oats to water and cook it in the rice cooker using the timer function so I can set it up the night before I eat it. The texture I get is much more "clumpy" than liquidy like this.
I like cooking stews, but it's gonna be a hassle to bring that to the workplace.
Stews are one of the easiest things to bring to the workplace. Their quality doesn't degrade when eaten as leftovers, and they reheat very well in the microwave. What makes you think this would be a hassle?
I'm going to go against the grain and point out that these types of people generally live in areas where there are very few foreigners. The closest country with Spanish as their native language is Mexico. Given the lack of diverse exposure to people of different backgrounds, you can see whymany might default to Spanish speakers = Mexicans. That said, they are also likely to be undereducated as well...
It sounds like they think the movie is good, it just took too much money to make given it's lack of appeal to a wide audience. I think that makes sense.
Sorry, my original comment is a bit accusatory. I did not mean to say you (specifically) are the problem. I intended to say that more level-headed Christians are not what you see portrayed in media because it's the absolute psychos that are in positions of power, so that's what you (general) see in the media.
