I'd argue La La Land leaves room for multiple types of success. Gosling has his success, Legend has his, Stone has hers, and none of them are the same because they all have different goals.

He was talking about touring, then recording, then touring again for years, when she thought one album-tour cycle was gonna be enough. But mainly I got the sense that what deep-down bugged her was him not being around/interested enough in what she was doing back in LA (basically proven right when he misses her play)

Guns aren't even a particularly good way to deal with a bear: https://www.outsideonline.c…
Fences and spray do just fine and you can't kill a room full of kids with either of them.

HERM CAIN IN THE MEMBRANE

The press is going to a tremendous farm where they'll have SO much room to run around. Believe me!

Oh, I can answer that: Gotham is stupid.

I appreciate "Pelicans" for being a bit goofy. I'd take that over a name that tries way too hard to be cool. The worst offender is the Raptors, who got their name purely because Jurassic Park was popular that year.

It's fast food. It's not for a dining experience; it's for your half-hour lunch break or realizing "oh crap it's nine already and I haven't had anything to eat" or any other situation where speed of service and geography are the major factors in a person's decision-making.

Yeah. If you wanna save time/energy, I'd advise just watching the first and last episodes of Season 1 to get the basic idea of that one, but 2 is quite good and 3 is great.

BvS is the worst of both worlds. It's all of Snyder's worst instincts run rampant AND has a bunch of stuff that exists purely to set up Justice League and serves no real purpose within the movie's context.

Taika Waititi could be adapting literally any property, and I'd be at least intrigued.

He looks like one of the Fighting Polygon guys from Smash Bros. dipped in silver paint.

That makes it so much worse. That's terrible.

It's so hard to imagine Trump pardoning anyone at all. "If these prisoners are so great, how come they got put in prison? Sounds weak! I like people who aren't convicted of a crime!"

Yeah, that bit was misguided. She should have just finished the sentence at "you'd have nothing to watch" (or whatever the phrasing was). Only a monster would hear her make that point without mentioning sports and say "UM, ACTUALLY I'd still have mixed martial arts, so there!"

Nor should CGI Hutts be added to movies from the '70s just to repeat story points that were already in the Greedo scene.

Ton Phanan was born too early.

I was just thinking about how in the books, Chewie was the first of the core group to die and now, with the unstated lifespan of his species and ease of recasting him, he's likely to be the last one standing. Well, second-last. Clearly, R2 is forever.

I'm baffled how many people are entertaining the idea of CGI Leia. Even setting aside the ethical ickiness…
(1) No knock against Tarkin, she's way more iconic than him - more iconic than 99% of characters across film, really.
(2) She has a more expressive face than Cushing-as-Tarkin who just has to scowl. Her role

I've been thinking about this, and I kind of wonder if there isn't a rock-paper-scissors thing happening here. Like, Hillary beat Sanders, Trump beat Hillary, Sanders could have beaten Trump, but Hillary might have actually beat one of the traditional Republican guys who got beat by Trump. Up against a Cruz, she
