Let me maul it over a bit…

Same reason the Death Star plans were on "datatapes"…it's kind of a bizarre alt-universe now - and it WAS a long, long time ago. It's a weird fantasy realm now.

Also has the prestigious Darth Sidious School of Bad Puns.

Jamie Dornan looks like he'd rather be anywhere else than these movies. He's not just a pair of abs! He's a human being!!

EVERYONE KNOWS SHOWER SEX IS OVERRATED/IMPOSSIBLE!! SHOWER WATER IS THE ENEMY OF GOOD LUBRICATION!!

Rogue One: A "Star Wars Story"

And the coaching matchups are a joke. Why the HELL was Tomlin playing his defensive starters in a meaningless season finale in OVERTIME? I mean, what the royal fuck is he thinking?

I guess that's my point - all of this stuff is so dependent on football/basketball raking in the money (and I believe it's a minority of programs that are profitable), so it's in everyone's interest to keep the status quo and keep those programs rolling. But what if football really IS damaging? What if it declines in…

Not get rid of them. Reign the spending in a bit maybe?

Maybe someone can explain it to me better, but why not just like, pay a little more in taxes instead of all this corrupt college sports nonsense?
It seems like:
Higher taxes for education = never!
Spending equivalent $ in exchange for questionably ethical entertainment = sure!
I don't get it.

I didn't know ARMs were a thing anymore.

Everyone is high on my Steelers, but nobody seems to notice how completely shitty their secondary is. You know what Tom Brady loves? Picking apart the Steelers secondary. I'm not convinced they make it past the divisional round, but if they do, they'll be shredded alive in Foxboro.

Deus Ex is so heavily inspired by the X-Files, but I'd still watch.

Yea, I'm not sure what to pin it on, just way too many people and places. They must have hit (what felt like) six or seven different planets or places.

Yea, easy to say in hindsight, but condensing the cast a bit might have helped. Forest Whitaker's character was pointless, remove him. Cut it down to Jin, blind Asian Guy, Cassian, and robot. That's the core. And dear god, the fan service was ridiculous at times.

My partner didn't realize it was a prequel to the ORIGINAL Star Wars and was completely confused and lost. In her defense, the last SW she saw was TFA, and she's only seen ANH once or twice, so there's a fair amount of context needed. It's not REALLY a standalone movie.

Saw Rogue One. Packed theater at a matinee. Apart from some uneven pacing early on, I really liked it, dare I say more than TFA. The action was more impressive than anything in the prequels. A lot of the Death Star logistic nonsense makes the films less fun (we all knew it went into lightspeed, just seeing it is weird…

Can we throw Furiosa in there?

Yep. That scene was weird when I saw it, and it's only gonna feel weirder every time I see it.

It's called CGI, my friend. CGI.
