I think part of the problem is that most of the people writing the movies (or maybe it’s the studio) seems “ashamed” to embrace the hokiness of the situation. They think the characters are too silly to portray as they are and so they try to tweak something and it just doesn’t work.

Seems pretty likely. I figure R2-D2 is probably just the first part of a droids serial number. But who in the world is going to yell “Hey R2-D23490R2F12KK0-ZH45!”

I wonder how Bendis is going to temper expectations of the crowd who just watched the series with where the character is in the books.

Take a brand new last name. Become Mrs. & Mr. Batman.

I have a Forza pad and I’m fairly certain the sticks are black. I could be mistaken. However, I do love the extra grippy material on the “handles” and the headphone jack on the Forza that my standard pad lacks.

I’m aware of Dirty Laundry and it’s very, very good. But, it’s not a major motion picture. Avengers Confidential doesn’t really count either but we’ve all got it cleared up. Nothing to see here.

Hope things get better.

That’s The Punisher from 2004. It seemed to draw loosely from Ennis’ run.

Good. I didn’t THINK i’d missed out on a Punisher movie.

There was Punisher in 89

Easy.

They are retirement states so there’s always a fresh shipment of elderly white people to shore up the ranks.

Arpaio believes that jail should be humiliating and a place of suffering, hence dressing male prisoners in pink, removing meat, chain gangs, sleeping outdoors, etc. He’s fairly certain that if jail is as miserable as possible, people won’t want to come back. Obviously that doesn’t work. Plus, it gets him all kinds of…

Same here. The nonchalance (borderline hostility) was especially strong in my 20's. But now I’m older and something just switched on & I can’t explain it. I have a kid & I’d really like to know what I’m up against medically beyond what scant info a non-id letter will give. I just want to know. It’s not easy and I…

If that woman is a mother, she’s probably the type to hound her children constantly about making her a grandmother. THAT’S why she wants this bill passed.

Oh shit, 99-cent Taco Tuesdays?!

Possible solutions to “The Cell Phone Problem” I can think of off the top of my head:

That’s the second restraining order shooting I’ve heard about in 7 days. The last one happened at a nursing home right next to where I live. The gun rights advocates in Washington has been fighting a proposal to confiscate guns from people involved in a protection order and I really hope this drives the point home.

An adopted person may never know who their birth mother was because of this. In a lot of states, a child has an original birth certificate that gets sealed when the child is adopted and a new one is issued with the adoptive parents names. In Illinois, an adoptee can request that original birth certificate to attempt…

I identify as bi-racial simply because I don’t “pass” for anything. I’ve hit that racial ambiguity zone to the point that I’ve been mistaken for Latino, Jewish, Native Americian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. Very rarely, someone will recognize Black as an option.
