Most people don’t watch cable news of any kind. In February, FOX News led cable news viewership by averaging about 2.7 million viewers at prime time. There are about 100 million TV households in the US, local news viewership absolutely dwarfs cable. The biggest problem I have with Sinclair is, in some markets they own…

I think she would have joined him if he’d stopped firing on the transports when she asked him to. I really do. She told Luke he was the last hope, after all. It wasn’t a big political or dark side/light side thing in that moment. She didn’t know that Finn was on the same ship, or that Holdo was about to stop the First…

Billy Dee Williams is 80 years old and mostly doing voice acting. I don’t think he’s up to doing a 100-day feature film shoot anymore. I don’t think anybody at Lucasfilm wants to recast the role.

He’s going to a big important meeting and doesn’t want to look like a bum?

Force ghosts weren’t a thing until recently, possibly until Obi-Wan. Before that Jedi just died, and their bodies were burned. It’s a new power, and evolving. Yoda continues to learn and grow stronger in the Force. What Luke does here, becoming a Force Ghost before he even dies, is unprecedented. Obi Wan says he’ll…

I can see why it’s polarizing, I guess. But I loved it, and mostly because of the return of Luke and what Hamill did with the role. Part of the problem is, with Luke returning to the screen, he’s Movie Luke again, not the Luke from book and video game and comics tie-ins. So, conflicted, filled with angst, sometimes a…

For real I didn’t even know the original trilogy was available digitally or on Blu Ray, at all - I have them on DVD. What’s the quality like? Are they in full HD?

I don’t like football, but enjoy beer and sarcasm, so I used to ironically attend a football party or two a year, like if the Bears were losing the Superbowl or OSU was in a championship game or else beating up on Michigan. I mean, I don’t like football, but my animosity towards all things Michigan is much stronger.…

Sadly, I never figured it out because my brother did and texted me about it early on. I’m not sure when I would have figured it out on my own. But in this case I liked being “spoiled,” because the first couple episodes were needlessly confusingly plotted, and the show made more sense, and thus was more enjoyable, when…

I don’t really agree that it’s “bad” - I enjoy it so much more than almost anything else (that isn’t a Netflix Marvel show or Orphan Black) that I’d still have to rank it as the best thing that I watch. But I am a bit frustrated that the story - both on screen and on the page - is taking so long to get to the point.…

You can’t buy the world, because the total amount of money in the world is equal to the total amount of goods and services there is to buy, by definition. But the world has natural resources that can’t easily be extracted, and these aren’t adequately priced by the money economy. (Basically a dollar is a unit of…

As I recall, the Bush Administration was pretty goddamn disastrous. The Middle East in flames, the collapse of the financial system, the Great Recession . . . Bush’s singular domestic policy effort, Social Security reform, was a non-starter, and his glorious appointments to the supreme court (after a failed attempt to…

Was there any relationship to the old “Outpost” game from the 90s? Some elements sound similar, and that game was cool.

I pretty much agree. The original will always be my personal favorite, but the slower pace of the first half has made it difficult to get my 8 year old son (who thinks Harry Potter is way better). But I put Empire on and it hooked him - he loved the AT-ATs, Yoda, the asteroid monster and the epic swordfight. Precisely…

So far I love Marvel’s Darth Vader comics. They’ve made him into a more specific character without at all making him less scary. “All I am surrounded by is fear and dead men,” Vader’s response when told he should surrender because he’s surrounded by an entire division, proves to be a threat he’s quite capable of…

Torn about this. I dislike the Bush family about as much as anyone who can remember the last 25 years. He’s the worst of the Presidential contenders, if only because electing another Bush is essentially voting for another pointless war. Giving one of these guys a microphone and no script is guaranteed to get you some…

No, it's 1980 or later, the generation that camo of age at the Millennium. Hence the name.

I just fail to see what's so offensive about this. It's not really my thing, either, and Miss Muffy and the Muff Mob did a better send up of Gin and Juice like 15 years ago. But the worst thing on Facebook? You know there are actual hate groups on Facebook, as well as pages dedicated to the disgusting "puck up artist"…

PvZ2 has my seven year old begging me to buy him special, limited time offer plants for $10 a pop.

It's just another (dumb) example of white people on the internet re-purposing urban slang. It's a female version of "bro," in a nutshell:
