My wife, not so much. (She is also an EE)

That picture is wrong in so many ways it's sad.

The days of not taking women seriously in technology have certainly come to a middle.

I did not post it because it was a woman. I posted it because it was funny that neither she or the photographer had a clue.

I don't get it. I know he's going to DC, but didn't he publish a buttload of Spider-Man pics?

Comic book movie return compared to investment:

Obvious conclusions with the rule of thumb that studios like to see as much of a gain as their investment in production, i.e. movies need a 200% return margin:

1) Sony needs to get out of the game. Over a decade and a half since something turned a respectable bottom line?

2) The best part of the Deadpool spike is the trough coming from FF4 immediately previous. Without Deadpool, Fox is dead in the water.

3) Speaking of the Eraserhead-like mutant infant fuckup that was FF4, it's only underperformed by 3 (maybe 4) Warner Brothers megaflops: Catwoman, Jonah Hex (really, wtf was up with this one), Green Lantern, and perhaps the Losers but I can't tell exactly without numbers.

4) Minus Chris Nolan, WB is sucking like a critical chest wound. I can't believe they're banking on Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Jesse fucking Eisenberg, plus the nightmarishly shitty pop culture sellout amalgamation I see every time more info is revealed about the Suicide Squad. That title gets more and more appropriate as WB can't help but trip over its own feet and fall its sword of mindless mediocrity.

5) Minus Fox's one-off Deadpool success and the Dark Knight stand alone pocket universe, the only company doing shit remotely right is Marvel/Disney.

I'm a little bummed Guardians was only 2x - but I guess that's a success? I love rewarding cool IP like that.

That chart has to be bullshit. Production for GotG was $170M and it made $770M globally. If you only include domestic money, then it's arguably 2x, in reality it's closer to 4x.

I keep hoping you will learn to read some day, and yet... you just keep failing.

Try the graph again.

He makes caustic, funny remarks in this vein, but he certainly never said the EA one.

One of my guilty pleasures is cooking shows. Maybe I was a chef in a former life or something, but I enjoy them. Not all, but some. Chopped is ok in spurts. Cutthroat Kitchen is pretty cool. Masterchef is decent. The Taste was an interesting show, but I hated the format. And Hell's Kitchen is fun.

Gordon, you would like Ramsey. He's nothing more than a basic training drill instructor, except in a kitchen. He's literally just beating people down to build them back up. And what does he preach? Standards. Paying attention to the little details. Having pride in your work.

He seriously cannot hide his contempt for people who don't take the job seriously and/or don't treat people's food with respect.

On Hell's Kitchen, he really plays up the DI/TI angle. He's cursing at contestants, calling them names, etc. However, into the later episodes his demeanor changes. He gives the reigns some slack.

On Masterchef, another show he hosts, it's all about home cooks and he's FAR, FAR nicer. He doesn't bring the DI/TI routine and instead acts like a mentor. These folks aren't professionals, so you can see he allows them a lot more slack. I honestly think he respects them more because they're not professionals, yet love food this much. On HK, they're "professionals" fighting for a job so his expectations of their skills and professionalism are much higher.

It's interesting to watch a guy like him, and Robert Irvine on Food Network. Both are hard asses and both get criticism for it. I find it hilarious that they do because to me its obvious that they're simply breaking people of their bad habits and attitudes and molding them back up with discipline.

But what do I know, I was raised in an era where I didn't get a participation trophy just for showing up.
