"You see, when you read the fine print, it actually says
'Thou Shalt Not Kill (Without a License)' - so you see, I'm covered."

Seeing as Abrams-Trek decided the way to change from casting a Mexican as an Indian was to give the role to a white, British man (kind of surprised there wasn't more discussion about how that second bit in particular made Cumby's casting horrifically tone deaf), I'd be okay with this as a turnabout.

To Bell's credit, it doesn't seem like this version had both parties taking a moment to have a shot at another marginalized group.

To score another point for Disney (sort of) when Marvel did their Leia spin-off series, one of the big thrusts of it was her finally dealing with the destruction of her world in the aftermath of the Battle of Yavin and attempting to find the survivors to save what culture and people of Alderaan were left.

The Death Star I'll concede (though, to be fair, one can only give them just so much grief for that considering the only reason there's two in a row is because George went back to that well himself first), but I'm honestly inclined to side with GCEM on this one.
The beats are hit, but there's also a lot that changes in…

When it comes to what Lucas says about how much he's planned, it helps to take it with a grain of salt. Even if you disregard special edition edits, the guy has always been very inconsistent with what he'll say about how much he's planned at any given point (the book How Star Wars Conquered the Universe does a great…

Re: Hannibal and gore 'selling' - Not really. In fact, despite it getting three seasons, one would be really hard pressed to say Hannibal 'sold.'

It's probably giving Ol' Warren even more relief to realize that Trump is even doing what he did THAT much worse.

Attend the tale of Alex Jones.
His frame sat heavy upon his throne.
He told tall tales on the radio
To idiots who played to his massive ego.
On tales of bullshit he made his bones,
Did Alex Jones, The Chili Arist of InfoWars

Given this comes around the same time we're seeing such Camp Trump 'luminaries' as Jeff Sessions and Alex Jones trying to use the 'It was supposed to be funny/an act' line to skirt any consequences for horrifically shitty things they've said/done, it's not that shocking that the fucked up 'It's all a show!' attitude…

You know, tied in with earlier this year when Marvel's CEO decided to blame their low sales on their attempts to diversify certain titles…
…it doesn't paint a particularly flattering portrait of how things are at the company right now.

This actually made for some great unintentional comedy with FX showing the first Avengers.

Ironically, to direct Dune a movie that - subsequent cult status notwithstanding - he just had such a bad time making he prefers not to talk about it now.

To this end, I would be curious to see the overlap of people who complain about TFA's sticking to formula being rote who then get hyped over the next MCU release

I feel like Rogue One may have had higher highs care of its last act.
At the same time, its first two acts also had apparent joins and edit lines all over the damn place.

From Ron, it sounds stern and serious.
From Jones, I just imagine a delivery akin to the tone made by 'Busey just found the blow'

There's a part of me that'd love for this to go full Inherit the Wind as he, mid-rant, just has a full cardiac arrest in the court room and drops like a felled redwood.
