“make our program great again.”

Holy fuck that is fitting.

the best of George Lucas’s “Star Wars” entries (“Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”)

I’m going to try to upack one paragraph of this drivel as I am a masochist:

God damn it, Vox.

I mean... this has to be a pure trolling piece, right? Right? That 1st block quote reads like stream of consciousness gibberish from a frustrated English major, and the last block quote is sheer madness.

I LOVED Big Fish. It hit all the right notes of quirky and emotional for me.
However, I can totally understand why someone wouldn’t like it.
Example, the emotional impact worked for me. I could see someone considering it maudlin. I enjoyed the twist, and though it was pitch perfect. But I can wrap my head around someone
