Children of the Corn, which was written and directed by Kurt Wimmer (Ultraviolet; he also wrote Spell and the remakes of Point Break and Total Recall)

In contrast, I portrayed an army officer, so it was high waist pants, shirt with vest, and long wool jacket, and knee high leather boots. In 100 degree summer. You just hoped you’d sweat through it soon so the wool would wick the moisture away. Side eying all the women who got away with being relatively naked.

My nightmare that I’m a 40 year old adult with a Master’s Degree and a professional academic suddenly having to find my high school homeroom.

Women (and men) have shaved/waxed/plucked body hair since ancient times. People criticized “Rome” for some of the women having perfectly-shaped “landing strips” but that was actually accurate (whether by accident or or just practical, like the actor’s choice of merkin or something).

The article doesn’t even point out that corsets weren’t consistently part of the everyday dress during the Regency Era. I used to reenact at at an 1820's American frontier fort and none of the women wore corsets. The hardcore costumers often remarked how much more comfortable women’s clothes were during that period.

I admit I voted for Bill Clinton in the first presidential election I could vote in (1996). Like I was supposed to vote for Perot?

I made a minor comment on an IG feed about Depp’s “wife beater” court ruling in the UK and was absolutely bombarded with everything from “and the American case undid that!” (no that’s not how courts work) to “you don’t like facts!” (It was a fact, I was not making a judgement myself).

Yeah, there’s no way Lightyear would have been a fun tentpole action movie that sold tons of toys. It was a grim hard-fi survival movie.

Solo was lighthearted and had solid action setpieces. Lightyear was a grim, hard sci-fi movie that really asked a lot of audiences to follow the plotlines.

I just flagged and dismissed that guy for using the R-word.

I love classic Bloom County. To this day when someone calls out Sean Penn for being an asshole I recall the storyline where Steve Dallas gets his back broken by him.

You’re not talking like that around me, fucker. Dismissed.

What about the Gillette razor shuttle from that one episode of TNG where they dock at the Starbase?

I feel like the first season of Picard was written by people who only saw the TNG-crew movies and not any of the actual shows.

I think you’re coming at it as a “Star [Wars/Trek] (circle one and only one)” angle. But as an avid consumer of both franchises, I can say there are plenty of people who can appreciate them separately and not exclusively.

I’m a Star Wars fan. There is no way I’d watch Discovery based on what I’ve heard.

On almost nothing that wasn’t basically common knowledge in 2023.

None of these were unexpected. Was there anything here anyone wasn’t expecting?

I mean, who doesn’t want a stick on their head. I have one on my head right now.

I wish Tontines would be more popular.
