Second.

The overall problem I have with comedians making comments like that is that they tend to remove themselves from any sort of empathy. The joke might not have been at the expense of Native Americans and it was pointing out the problem they have in society in general, but it's also frustrating for any marginalized…

I'm pretty the people sitting on either side of me when the sloth's face slowly evolved into a laugh hated me because I about nearly died at that bit…it was also a tough week and I wasn't expecting that.

THIS IS A HUGE MOMENT! NOW TO REINFORCE THIS LETS HAVE THE MOMENT HOLD FOR AN ENTIRE MINUTE AND SPIN THE CAMERA AROUND THEM!

They came up with a plan to destroy it like super fast and really kind of half assed that plan.

Well, any context beyond "these are things that currently exist" would have helped. It seemed like they didn't know how to tell a story where the Empire didn't exist, so a scenario was clumsily created to make a new Empire (by episode VIII, they'll be the ruling faction in the universe despite getting their main…

That depends, does the bee live in Brooklyn?

I would have been all for *that* Final Crisis. His unfettered ideas on the New Gods in general would have been a fun read at least.

How terrible professionals were at their job in this bothered me too (like, what the fuck was that interview) but I've been reading too much about the kind of thing where people are specifically in jobs where you'd think they were trained with some degree of empathy and it's non-existent. This might trigger…

I thought it was odd to assume Eva was trying "evolve" whether it's to become of a person or her station. She was perfectly comfortable with her self and knew exactly what her place *should* be, what she was seeking was freedom and the only real way she was going to achieve that is if Nathan was dead. Caleb was just…

Nerd kids that may want their own toys are kind of getting the shaft though.

Generally I agree with you…buuuuuut he was in Hector and the Search for Happiness.

My issue with initially was how he'd reference past movies as sort of a hard line to make a point instead of treating the movie as its own singular thing. But he is all the things you say and he's earned my trust as a critic and I know when he does praise a film that at the very least he's given it a good amount of…

I get some of the Dowd pushback is kind of joke but I do think he puts a lot more thought into the actual grades and his reviews are generally worth reading in terms of analysis. And all of this seemed to begin because he gave a bunch of relatively mediocre films "C" when he first started here.

I'm not. When the last Star Wars came out, Iron Man was still three years out from being released. I think people underestimate the importance of immediacy especially when everything is processed almost instantly these days.

On the one hand, I'm excited to see what Rian Johnson has in store but on the other, Disney has a way of being very careful about their franchises. What worries me even further is how there are going to be Star Wars for the foreseeable future, which kind of implies that there's no real set story in place. So, it's…

There's conflict? Why even bother seeing this thing?

The Sixers couldn't get 8 points.

THE INTERNET IS A ZERO SUM HUMAN EXPERIMENT!

I think that speaks for society in general though.
