Jesus does every Star Wars character need to have an autopsy on screen to confirm they are dead?

<blockquote>Sure, Palpatine fell down a huge shaft in Return of the Jedi, but we never saw a body. And he had plenty of time to get away.</blockquote>

Not sure why we need another production of "The Stand" but man.....I can already imagine McConaughey as Flagg and he's perfect for that role.

Wow...this is the top comment? Let's see your poster, bud.

" Yep, here's your problem. Someone set your health care system to 'evil!'

So much potential before it turned into a bubbly cauldron of squeaky farts and stale tropes.

Yeah I agree there is a disconnect between survival, wage and consumer pricing of services. I also agree that higher costs won't help the average worker because everything will just adjust commensurate with that increase and it will still be dumped back on the worker.

In the US where we are definitely pushing people…

I agree that it is a generalization and I'm sure many restaurant owners probably rarely make ends meet, but the system is broken frankly. If they can't make ends meet but still have to screw their employees over to barely make ends meet there is something inherently wrong with the system. Either the cost of eating out…

Why would you stuff 24,000 teachers into silos?

Left and right wings used to mean totalitarianism and anarchy. Now all they represent is whose foot is in the boot stomping on your face. The USAlund government is heavily invested in a poor, ignorant and oppressed citizenry.

Not that I agree with the special interests aspect of American politics, but the idea that we should take economic advice from Europeans is laughable. Spain, Italy and Ireland are an economic joke and only the Norwegians are on par with the US in per capita GDP and unemployment rates. Switzerland has a nice…

This has always been a boondoggle and always will be. It's welfare for weapons manufacturers.

Star Wars. For the opening, when the spaceships come flying overhead. because of the use of sound. The whole theater vibrates BEFORE you see the huge-ass ship fill the screen. And Alien. Because, Alien.

All three Lord of the Rings films are just amazing in the theater. The Mines of Moria, The Siege of Isengard, the Battle of Helm's Deep, the Battles of the Pelennor Fields and Morannon. Just spectacular.

Hyperion and the Fall of Hyperion are two of my favorite novels ever. IMO, the series goes downhill for the back half (Endymion/Rise of) but downhill from Hyperion is still pretty enjoyable.

I'm about half way through Nueromancer by William Gibson. So far so good.

Just finished The Handmaid's Tale, which I had never read before (I know, I know). Now reading The Thousand Autumns of Joseph De Zoet by David Mitchel, on whom I have a writers crush after reading Cloud Atlas and Ghostwritten.

Hyperion by Dan Simmons

Not sure how it has taken me this long to get around to it. Chemistry probably.

Also, thinking of picking up Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki And His Years Of Pilgrimage, the latest book by Huruki Murakami. Started it in Waterstones, but then Hyperion caught my eye.

Well, at least without justification. Which remains to be seen in this case.
