Movies@lemmy.world•What's you favourite movie with big plot-holes?English
123·8 days agoThe second Pacific Rim movie.
One of the biggest frustrations in their world is finding two people who can coordinate to power the giant suits. It’s more than physical coordination, they seem to need some sort of bond.
The second movie opens up with the young female character hodgepodging together a single smaller one she can drive alone, nobody gives a s***. They continue looking for people with perfect partners to drive the slightly larger ones.

News@lemmy.world•Updates: Rob Reiner’s son Nick arrested over deaths of Hollywood director and wife Michele
111·10 days agoIt’s Worse than that, Rob Reiner died because he said things (in a country with ‘freedom of speech’) that somebody else murdered him for (according to Trump alone).
Pure victim blaming. He’s not calling out the violence, he’s encouraging it. He’s calling out the criticism itself.

5·20 days agoOh, they do not have to pay ‘fines’
However, if the car is driverless, there is likely no punishment.
According to the Atlanta Police Standard Operating Procedure, they are told not to issue citations to driverless vehicles.
The standards read in part:
“The court system is currently unable to process traffic citations for AVs with no human operator. If the vehicle violates a traffic law, where a citation would be warranted, the officer must write a report providing the details surrounding the incident and the law that was violated.”
After this incident a Waymo self-drove around a stopped school bus, there were no charges, but this article says that will change in 2026

Not only did he shoot somebody in the face, he probably never apologized.

News@lemmy.world•Ticketmaster vows crackdown on scalper accounts that buy up most tickets
34·2 months agoDoesn’t Ticketmaster also own most of the resale websites?
Here’s one they just shut down, Tradedesk.
The FTC holds that Live Nation has enabled an exploitative aftermarket in oversights and consumer deception throughout its business model, profiting at every step of the resale process. “When reselling tickets brokers purchased from Ticketmaster,” the FTC’s complaint alleges, “Defendants can ‘triple dip’ on fees, collecting fees from: (1) brokers when they purchase the tickets on the primary market, (2) brokers, again, when Ticketmaster sells their tickets on Ticketmaster’s secondary market, and, finally, (3) consumers who purchase tickets from Ticketmaster on its secondary market.”





















But, how much is the rulebook worth now?
