Anyone else see Watchmen?
Mitt should be new head of cyber. He literally gave all the information needed to find his secret account five different ways.
She tracked down Comey’s secret twitter account a while back, based in part on his interest in Reinhold Niebuhr. He said she had a standing offer to join the FBI.

Yes! That’s it. Thought it was super impressive at the time (and still now really)
I feel like an oldster here, but WTF is up with this shit where we’re supposed to get hyped for a preview OF A TRAILER. Is anyone actually watching the NFL just to see a trailer? I am a massive Star Wars fanboy, I grew up with the toys and shit, I am in no way hyped for a Star Wars advertisment, GTFO with that shit.
If Lucasfilm ever does a remake of the TIE Fighter videogame, I could maybe get hyped for a trailer of that.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess you haven’t read/seen The Watchmen comic/movie.
I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it. I’m mega interested and even think the film adaptation isn’t as bad as fanbois say, but goddamn has Lindeloff burned me too many times. I realize I might be unusual. I thought most of Leftovers was unwatchable and ended up skipping to the finale. I thought Lost was goddamn amazing until the show turned into great ideas with no fulfilling follow through or resolution.
Did you watch this new iteration? Any good?
There you go basically quoting the pitch for whole show lol
Ever hear the term “Marketing?”
Can I coin “a taste” for a preview of a teaser? I’m almost certainly ponied by Conan here, I remember new Spock mongering the second Star Trek movie on that show and they played 1 second of him in a Volcano at the beginning of the movie.
Edit: oh memory, it was JJ Abrams doing the mongering
l"a"nguage and l"a"me are the same for me.
Language and apple are the same for me, and not at all like layme.

Why do you say aypple?
I liked it… a lot. Same universe but set in 2019 and the first episode was a barnburner. Don’t want to spoil anything but I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

Weird that they were trying to teach you language with /a/, it is definitely /æ/ as spoken by the vast majority of English speakers. Some British accents, e.g. Scouse, would say /a/, but it is /æ/ just about everywhere else.
Surely not, can’t imagine how that would work. The vowel in “lame” is all the one sound, it’s /eɪ/ in phonetics. zara is correct that /læm/ is how you pronounce “lamb”.

I got on an Aussie reg for saying “fold” and making no other gesture with his hands yesterday. It’s like dude - “feayallld” sounds more like “call” than “fold” to us.
My Aussie buddy would call Amber “Amb-uh” and Lisa “Lis-er”. Can’t explain that.

The marketing people just remember that the Phantom Menace trailer got a bunch of nerds to buy tickets for movies they didn’t want to see just for the trailer and seem to not understand that the hype for the 17th installment in the franchise won’t be nearly as high.
