Re: The OFFICIAL filum thread 2.0.Accept no substitues.
As an insider, do you know why the effects in Snyders Justice League are so bad? Nah, not really. I know Weta Digi did some aspects of it (from memory they did the historic battle scenes when the invaders were defeated) but most was done elsewhere. I suspect it's a combination of Snyder having some...

Re: Why does Alun Wyn Jones not just shave his head?
Point of order - he doesn't have a comb over. A comb over is when someone grows the non thinning hair on the side long enough to cover the bald patch on the top. See Bobby Charlton for reference. https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/article/media_slots/photos/002/270/518/b12e1fd59da0f99fc6f3a1ff5185d7...
