There aren't any that big now, but there used to be in prehistoric times. That's either a photoshop or a model reconstruction.

It's a commonly-known fact that scorpions can only sting you once, because they then begin to melt, starting in the face region.

I saw this movie the other day and yeah I couldn't quite figure out what his purpose was. I missed the first 20 minutes or so, maybe they explained it?

The original Robocop was directed by Paul Verhoevan. Having diegetic news, tv shows and ads are part of his style and the Sam Jackson scenes in the Robocop remake was an homage to that. See also Starship Troopers and the military recruitment ads. The Robocop live action TV show also used this, so it's definitely seen as a Robocop 'thing'.

The original directors of the Han Solo movie were Lord & Miller who did the 21 Jump Street movies and Clone High. Apparently, the movie they were making became too "irreverent" and had too much improvisation not unlike their previous work. To me, this means their understanding of Star Wars is more in line with what George Lucas had in mind than what Lawrence Kasdan (who is writing the movie, and also wanted Return of The Jedi to end with Luke putting on Vader's helmet and taking over the Empire). They did not bail, Lucasfilm fired them after 6 moths of filming with 3 more weeks to go.

Reminder that Steven Seagal in an attempt to look macho started a reality show of him being an honorary sheriff's deputy to--wait for it--Joe Arpaio

This resulted in him using an armored vehicle to run a bust on a man accused of cock fighting, bashing into his garage in a no-knock warrant type of situation and killing his dog

The network (Spike?) did not pick up the show

Yeah, that was "Judo" Gene Lebell. Seagal denies it ever happened. Lebell is a crazy old grandpa and a bit of a bullshit artist in his own right, but he's also a legitimate Judo badass and in this case I'm more than happy to believe his versions of events.

Seagal shoots a lot of movies in the city I live in. No woman with any knowledge of the business will work for the guy as an assistant because he's a notoriously massive sleaze ball, and so are most of his circle, including his producers. He's even put ads out looking for personal assistants because no one with half a brain will go near him, to the point where I've seen Facebook and Twitter posts pop up from friends to announce "If you are thinking about applying for a job with Steven Seagal's production team, don't loving do it!!!!"

An editor I used to work for said he would bring his "personal monk" into the edit suite and smoke everyone out with the foulest incense imaginable so he could jump on the Avid and attempt cut the movie himself. Even 10 years ago he was using stunt doubles in fat suits for literally everything except for closeups. If it's below the shoulders, it's not him, to the point where his fights look like the diner scene from I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

It was Judo Gene, my bad. I believe Joe Rogan said he witnessed it? Then again Rogan's pretty full of poo poo too, isn't he?

I hope we find out why he doesn't believe in the force even though it was a widely accepted reality only a couple of decades ago and the emperor and his second-in-command are both still devout believers. Is he like the equivalent of a flat-Earther or something?

Sure with in recent memory there were hordes of sci-fi spell swords that were slaughtered by clone armies and there was even official Senate minutes archiving the entire event, but Han "The Truth" Solo ain't buying that poo poo. He's living in the real world where there is no bullshit "force" except for those two dudes that run the entire galaxy that use it literally all the time.
