I feel the opposite. Marvel needed a tight leash because all the storylines needed to “tie together” for the Avengers movies. Star Wars happens roughly in order, to a small group of characters who all appear in all the movies.

Evil needs to feel and look very real. And what that means today may not be as black-and-white as it might have been in 1977, coming off a kind of World War II sensibility.

Or they work for Uber.

I think there’s a video somewhere online of Alan Moore explaining that he acts out all his characters while writing them, and demonstrates with Etrigan the Demon. Here it is!

I really love the baroque sort of lighting they’re working with on the monsters in those concept paintings. They almost make the actual footage look flat and monochromatic by comparison.

It’s a nonbinding resolution condemning hate speech.

Also, bear in mind, when the doors shut on a plane, the Attendant is GOD. The pilot can’t leave the cockpit, so in any emergency, you are relying on the Flight Attendant, and the Flight Attendant ALONE to keep you safe. The Attendant is law enforcement, EMT, firefighter, waitstaff, bartender, chef, elder care, Protecti…

App, n: software that fixes a problem by making it more convenient by making it worse.

Biden isn’t an idiot. Neither was Hillary. Both know that right now, today, elections need millions of dollars to win. The Republicans have that. The fastest way for Democrats to have that is to say things billionaires like, and then try to work in half-measures toward real policy changes, since the next election is…

That’s Pete Buttegeig’s Day #1 priority.

It started before Reagan. Why do you think Roe vs. Wade was a thing? After Kennedy, Republicans tried to find the one issue that would make them peel away from the Democratic Party, and decided the whole “life begins at conception” thing was a winner.

No, but it just spreads your stupidity out across a wider area.

Is Rick and Morty coming back in November?

gave the audience basically nothing to look forward to in the third film.

...And they HATED the Last Jedi because the thesis of the entire movie was, “No, don’t do that.”

The movie told you to your face, “That power does not belong to you.,” “We are what they grow beyond,” and “Don’t fight what you hate. Save what you love,” and here you are, acting like Star Wars belongs to you, saying it should never change beyond what you want, and fighting what you hate.

The entirety of The Last Jedi was exactly ABOUT “Your expectations and reality are not the same. Save what you love, don’t fight what you hate.”

The Last Jedi pissed fans off because the plot could be summarized as thus: “Your heroes have outgrown you. You need to outgrow them too, and get on with your life, or you’ll never be anything but a child. Also, your blind support for this Star War is enriching evil greedy profiteers who don’t give a crap about you.…

I hear you. Of course, one painful, obvious answer is that WE could make the life altering sacrifices without being forced. I could leave the city, take a job in a small town doing whatever, buying abandoned property, cleaning it up. I could buy some shares in coal companies and be the asshole who shows up to all the…

Especially since it’s against the law for restaurants in DC to refuse service based on political persuasion.
