One of the things is, we’ve already seen in the MCU what happens when an actor doesn’t like director changes and other creative choices. Not that Natalie Portman was delivering her best work for Branagh (I don’t know why she ever agreed to the part...), but she really phoned it in for The Dark World. If I was Disney…

Aw, that you’d still speak so highly of them makes me really happy for you. I can’t do the same, and that’s making me think that my nostalgia is possibly broken rather than nonexistent. I mean, my goodness, I loved those shows, and She-Ra and My Little Pony, too, I wouldn’t miss watching them at the time. But that’s…

I had a conversation with a dear friend within the last week or so that basically boiled down to the fact that my nostalgia goggles are either completely broken or non-existent. This came up after someone had pointed at Finn calling Phasma “chrome-dome” after noting that there’s a lot of bad dialogue in the new…

I liked Farscape so much that I didn’t quit watching Stargate SG-1 when Browder and Black joined the cast, and I also really enjoyed both Guardians movies. *shrug*

One thing I’ve become very under the impression of is that people truly, truly forget that the Emperor had no backstory in the OT. None. None whatsoever. We were only told his name and that he was once a senator in the novelisations, not in the actual movies. He’s just the Emperor. Later re-releases might—might—have…

Groovy! Thanks for this. :D

And let us not forget that it’s not only not “all men”, but the problem is that so many of the men who harass and abuse do it over and over and over. They have more than one victim, from Cosby to Spacey to Nassar to 45* etc etc. Hell, even when it comes to plain old bullying, lots of bullies don’t just pick on one…

... Oh. Right. Occam’s razor just right there.

Okay, folks. I didn’t enjoy the very first Mission: Impossible movie way, way back in the day so I never watched any of the others. Should I give the series another chance? Are there any installments I should avoid?

But how do we explain how good Robert Downey Jr looks because I’m sure he did everything Lohan has done. How. How does he look as good as he does for the life he lived for... however long that was. How.

There’s a part of me that kind of feels that anyone in support of Gunn’s firing should probably also be calling for Robert Downey Jr to be removed from the MCU, too. And if they aren’t... is that hypocritical?

*cough* Dammit I have to put my bucket into the “actually” well:

Thanks for your concern.

That felt like low-hanging fruit compared to “laser-brain” from the most-beloved entry of the franchise. :)

I feel like I’ve upset you a lot, and I’m genuinely sorry that I have. Please bear with me here, okay? Not wanting to to be someone’s cook and maid is 100% on me, so I’ve said, “Let’s not waste our time”. I can’t live with someone who drinks, because my sobriety. I’ve spent most of my life with animals, and I don’t en…

I didn’t want to reply to the person you’re replying to, but if they—and others—really feel this way, then they should be calling for Disney to fire Robert Downey, Jr., too. He’s an addict. He may have been in recovery for a long time; there may be no stories about him having done anything truly egregious (assault,…

Actually, I have. I have and would keep someone at arms length because of an age gap. I’ve rejected multiple older men. I’ve also kept people at arms’ length who couldn’t live without an animal in their life; someone who couldn’t cook; and anyone who drinks, for my own sobriety. And more reasons than that. I need to…

I’m so sorry. :(

Smoking sucks. Like. A lot. I’m so sorry about your step-dad and your dad. But I’m so glad your mom was so happy!

‘Tis one of my superpowers. I can also fold a fitted sheet! I have never been able to memorise a song, not even Christmas carols, but I retain dialogue snippets. (I’m also way more likely to rewatch something familiar and comforting than to watch something new, whether we’re talking movies or TV.)
