In the long run, I think any kind of sexual puritanism is destined to fail.

Whoa. So what's the periscope? Urg, nevermind.

They're probably not really undecided. They just like to be courted and made to feel important!

Yeah, I think few people would survive if their every passing thought was tossed to the Internet dogs to chew on.

On no, he's a real person, the horror!

Oh man, Gerald having to endure what he did. So darkly hilarious.

Thinking back, I know exactly what Cartman meant. lol

I think a lot of viewers through the years wanted to see more adventures with Han, Luke and Leia. I think it makes sense to touch upon that in the new movies, although I'd argue that Force Awakens inserted them more as a nod to the past than in a way that did anything satisfying with their stories. It almost would

Anti-nostalgia seems like a "too cool for school" kind of declaration. Part of the reason certain properties persist is because they're GOOD. There is potential for more quality material and people want to keep enjoying that universe. Is Sherlock Holmes nostalgia? No, it persists because it has a great foundation that

Haha, yeah, bring back the crab people.

I think the complete rejection of anything nostalgic is too harsh. Star Wars isn't just about nostalgia. It's a fun universe with a lot of great concepts that can be explored in interesting new ways. As for Rogue One, it's not always about the destination; if it tells a great story getting there, I'm all for it.

"The original still exists to enjoy, untainted."

Pretty sure it is bigger than Star Wars.

I love the 'Member Berries concept. But it does seem to miss the fact that part of the reason people hold on to certain movies and such is because they ARE better than their modern interpretations. Newer isn't always superior, and a weaker iteration just reminds you of why certain things became classic in the first

Force Awakens was weird for me. They did a great job creating a new set of characters and capturing that Star Wars magic for a new generation. But I don't get why they they chose to be slavish in some areas where they could have spun their own, original story. Mainly, why did the space battle at the end go EXACTLY the

That scene where the two Ghost Riders are racing across the desert… classic. Elliott was great in that part (and just about anything he's in).

That might be a good part of the reason. This Ghost Rider provides a boost to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they probably have a little more freedom with him.

I would be thrilled to see that. Even as a long-time Blaze fan, though, I have to admit that his backstory creates some issues for modern re-tellings. Motorcycle stunt riders are very '70s and, the overall mythology got very complicated. Robbie benefits from a simpler, more relatable and relevant background, I think.

I miss my Trapper Keeper.

So QUIRKY!
