I am not raunchy, but I am inappropriate at times

In both the OT and the sequels the main character is a plucky orphan from a desert planet with a strong force affinity who squares off against a dark side acolyte struggling with their feelings (plus world destroying installations by the badguys). Plus they’re given a gift by a wise mentor like in every hero story.

I’ve got a lot going on in my life right now, numerous family crises happening simultaneously. Along with the horrors of the current presidential administration that make me weep for the nation.

I liked Rogue One because it was a new story. Give us more side stories about people who haven’t been talked about, people who made possible the big stories we already have. There’s literally an entire galaxy full of potential, we don’t need to rehash characters who’ve been around and would be just fine getting a…

As much as I enjoyed Solo, it was unnecessary. As are the Fett and Obi-Wan movies.

The man who founded Celis was the original brewer of Hoegaarden’s witbier (I believe). His daughter runs the brewery now, and says she’s using his recipes. I’d like to try it for sure.

My best friend and I dressed up as Burt and Ernie for halloween about 8 years ago. Went out and got pretty hammered at the bars, and then I see down the street, Cookie Monster, just standing there. Well I thought it was a good idea to jump on his back, we both fell to the ground, and that’s when I feel a shot to the…

Mmmmm, not really. Research over the last four decades has shown that people in hunter-gatherer communities have tons of free time - way more than folks living in agrarian systems. Living in hunter-gatherer societies doesn’t mean it’s a constant 24-7 search for food.

Were they? Surely they were actually victims & everything they destroy in the game is the fault of the companies that dumped the radioactive waste then produced & sold the experimental “vitamins” & food additives that mutated them. The real villains of the story are the rogue corporations that dumped these products on…

Just be careful which kind of modest you’re talking here. Modest rural backgrounds are OK. Modest urban backgrounds will be asked to try WR.

the opposite for me. couldn’t care less about that plot

While the symptoms are apathy the causes are cynicism. The NFL has made it abundantly clear they have no shame in attempting to hoard every moment of our time and interest, and every cent of our paychecks. It’s the endless deflategate shit. It started with the draft, then the combine, then they added coverage of…

TDA was soon followed by “Special Bulletin”, another riveting and bleak nuclear bomb movie about politically motivated activists. Viewers were set up to get a happy ending only have it snatched away and left hanging.

I was twelve. I was pretty horrified by it. The way the aftermath was portrayed was, to my dim memory, brutal. (For 1980s network TV, naturally.) I’ve talked to many fellow Gen-Xers who feared nuclear war as tweens and teens. The Day After was definitely a contributing factor in that fear. (Also Reagan’s…

Sure, most people in the military are decent people. Most people in most walks of life are decent people. I’d never think negatively of someone for serving in the military, and it does give them a bump up in my estimation because it shows they finished something difficult and they were, at the least, willing to put…

I’m the only one who likes Ready Player One so, maybe me?

The dive after Altidore gets up and nudges him is what makes it art.

If you haven’t seen ANY of the new stuff, how are you even remotely qualified to bitch about it?
