  • Eli Roth wrote and directed this, so it was never going to be anything but schlock. Looks surprisingly OK in my opinion, honestly. My biggest issue is no Brick - get a Dave Bautista type and the movie instantly gets better. Kevin Hart seems fine as Roland (also surprising!). Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee look perfect, and like they’re having fun, which is a good sign.

    Borderlands was never a high quality story franchise - BL1 had the most generic “go get the treasure” plot with a shit ending, but was saved by the memorable side characters and funny dialogue. Handsome Jack was a good villain, but replay BL2 a few times and you’ll see the holes in the story. Don’t get me started on the third game.

    Hoping this isn’t all fart jokes. I think the tone of this trailer combined with some good Eli Roth splatter would actually be an OK flick. If it’s PG-13, it’s over though.

    Bro you’re straight up just lying. It’s so clear that you have no idea what being a server is like, because believe it or not, you do actually make pretty decent money (a hell of a lot more than working the check stand at a grocery store). This is part of the discussion that is actually worth having, because similar to nurses who don’t want universal health care, there are a lot of people in the service industry who like the tipping system.

    Sure, here’s how “the rest of the civilized world works”: people pay their fucking employees. America is broken.

    Your limp dick protest does nothing except hurt employees. The owners still make the exact same amount from you, and the lower class gets fucked.

    Since you seem to have reading comprehension issues, let me make this clear:

    • I do not support tipping
    • Not tipping is taking it out on the person who’s vulnerable
    • Therefore, if I don’t feel like tipping, I do not go out

    It’s not working, the wage divide is getting larger, and you’re a heartless idiot who very likely is eating a lot of spit. Because, as you should know since you “worked service”, people talk and know if a customer is going to stiff them.

    If you’re going out to eat and not tipping, I truly don’t believe you have worked at a food service job. Full stop.

    Tipping is a construct of capitalism that allows owners to shunt the burden of paying their workers to the customer. Yes, it’s fucked. This does not change the fact that if a server waits on your bum ass for an hour, and you don’t tip, they probably made about $3 while serving you. It’s basic human respect to compensate someone for that - and while it’s fucked that the burden falls on you, that’s the name of the game in America.

    Don’t go out to eat if you don’t want to tip.
