Speaking of 2001, a few years ago I was watching the movie. My son was around 6 at the time, so I knew he was bored and not paying attention (hey, I’m selfish and make my kid watch boring grown up movies). But then the movie gets to the part where Bowman just retrieved Poole’s body and HAL won’t let him back in. And…

Of course he doesn’t respect her. She’s a model that he purchased. They way he talks about women and treats women is indicative of how little respect he has for them, including his wife. And now Melania knows that the whole world knows. How can she ever hold her head up while married to him?

According to Pravda’s fact-checking, Trump won the popular vote, and more people attended his inauguration than Obama’s.

This is what the internet was invented for.

I think it’s probably too late. I’m just glad I’m old. But I feel sorry for future generations. When I was little, I always wanted a time machine to see the future, because who would want to see the boring past? But now, I have no desire to see the future.

You know that’s a true story? Lady lost a kid. You’re about to cross some fuckin’ lines.

Personally, I picture Annette Bening. Or maybe Kristen Scott Thomas. Someone who can play the role well, without changing the role. If that makes sense.

Oh God, make it stop!

“Han not shooting first does change his character though. It shortens his development from a seedy rogue to respectable member of society.”

They are distracting. But at the same time, it’s like a “Fuck you!” from Lucas who, as some of us remember, testified before Congress that classic movies belong to the public and the owners (like Ted Turner) shouldn’t be allowed to tamper with them. Then Lucas goes and completely removes Clive Revill’s entire…

I can live with these. What I can’t stand in trailers are the slow, plaintive, covers of pop or rock songs - usually sung by a female, and maybe accompanied by single-note piano plinking.

I don’t want anything that reminds me the prequels exist, even if the posters are nice works of art. I will pass. Maybe if the old fogies like me pass, the price will come down for those who actually want these.

On the one hand, we get articles saying how millenials aren’t making as much money as their baby-boomer counterparts. On the other hand, we get articles saying millenials don’t care about salary as much as “values” or “culture” or “life balance/fulfillment” etc. Maybe there’s a connection (employers don’t offer as…

The Hawaiians used the mountain to study the skies. Building the telescope extends this practice into modern times. The Hawaiians would adopt modern technology when it furthered their practices, so this is in keeping with that tradition (for example, King Kamehameha I used western weapons and canons during warfare).…

He was probably deeply immersed in the Teapot Dome scandal.

L.A., huh? You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Seems appropriate.

Thank you for correcting the youngins. It’s Star Wars, not a New Hope.

Paul Ryan makes me wish voodoo dolls worked.

I vote Annette Benning.
