They treat objects like women, man.

I mean, to the credit of Fox (I guess), they did fire O'Reilly even though he was raking in tons of money. But, I imagine still that the loss of advertising and the public pressure made it seemed like the logical move financially. Still, I was just a tiny but surprised that it happened at all - and that it happened

I can't speak to whether you're a devil or not, but that seems to be the most practical and reasonable approach to this whole thing.

I'd wager that most people that would describe themselves as "animal rights activists" are probably in agreement with mission statements that support the ethical treatment of living things. Plants, for instance, don't often get talked a lot about in terms of ethics, other than, like, bulldozing rainforests, setting

Give me a break. What you were replying to when you said it probably doesn't fit most people's definition of a "fanatic", so the usage of the term seemed contemptuous rather than as a fine-tuned term aimed to discriminate logical, reasonable activists from illogical and dangerous ones.

Why is it a special kind of nutty to be concerned about the treatment of living things, including those who aren't human?

There was a video a year or two ago before the sequel came out showing Keanu practicing with guns and rifles. It was pretty cool, and he seemed to be pretty competent with them.

I might have some hope if he is, in fact, cast. His role in Luke Cage was basically the only thing that had me interested (along with Rosario Dawson). I could see him doing well in True Detective.

I think it's sort of funny everyone hates Iron Fist. Most/all of the Netflix heroes shows are like maybe half a good season.

I didn't know about the adding Kitsch in after. That's interesting to know. I think the show would have been much better without him - maybe they would have had a more interesting dynamic otherwise. But maybe not.

"I think it definitely got better as the season went on"…

Yeah, that still surprises me, too. Season 2 was SO bad. There were some cool elements - the part where Rachel McAdams character escaped from that party after the drugging, for instance, was kind of cool. Some other stuff I half-remember. But man, most of it was such a terrible slog.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I think that's been the case with a few of the Marvel movies. Iron Man 2, for instance, felt like something of a "pre-Avengers" film more than an Iron Man movie. Ant-Man had that fight with Falcon, for instance, which, while not terribly done, didn't really add that much to the movie as a whole, I

A few months ago, before I went to sleep each night, I put on an episode or two of BTAS. And, I agree with your eloquent assessment. I liked the Nolan films a lot, but the portrayal in the series is pretty amazing, even after all of this time, going back to it as an adult. I think there's certainly some nostalgia

From an online dictionary:
"used to introduce a new topic or to add information to a previous statement."

Older people tend to take stock of their reputation and their life. It's not very surprising that a person in that stage would be very concerned with their reputation and their legacy, especially because they're aware of their impending end.

Strangely, De Havilland is probably the person that comes off "the best" in the entire show, too, except maybe Crawford's personal assistant… or Alfred Molina's assistant… or, well, any of the assistants in that show. But De Havilland was depicted as a pretty rational, composed person, especially given the craziness

I don't really understand your perspective. Or I mean, maybe I do, but I don't understand why you think that'd be better than what they're actually doing.
