I’m sorry, but this iteration of Pennywise will never be as scary as the source material:

The same people would probably be perfectly happy if a person of color was cast as a villain.

I think he’s a producer on these movies, so he’s just paying himself.

Lol!  “Tamayo” is a fine name in Hawaii, but “Williams” plays better on the national stage.  Everything is “image” with her.

Tulsi is the daughter of an evangelical, homophobic bigot who finally realized that republicans don’t get elected in the State of Hawaii and conveniently switched parties. She spent her time on the House Armed Service Committee surfing, while the VA fell apart and failed to service veterans — then when the issue made…

The Empire has all the money and brand new impressive toys like the death star. Luke had a beat up X-34 and had to scrape for transport money. But yes, it’s too bad kids can’t see beyond the bling to see true value.

And if someone is (rightfully) upset that they were singled out because of race, that just reinforces security’s opinion that the person must be guilty or hiding something. I guess nowdays, being upset at racism = “suspicious behavior” justifying further racism.  

The DC-9 was fine; it was the DC-10 that was marginal.

Do you know what Boeing calls it when an airplane blows up on the assembly line? “Pilot error.”

“I’m the least racist person I know” = “all my friends, family, neighbors, and acquaintances are overt, raging, militant racists”

I tried to watch this on Netflix, and couldn’t get through it. Badly written, badly acted, and unpleasant visually (dark, monochromatic). The only reason it made as much money as it did is *because* it had “Star Wars” in its name. I was a huge Star Wars fan (saw the original 10 times in the theater back in 1977). But…

Dany was the only one (or perhaps Varys to some extent) who wanted to help the downtrodden. The other kingdoms were perfectly fine with slavery. Propping up slavery profits was even one of the direct motivations of the Iron Bank helping Cersie. But Dany at least TRIED to do good. If Robert, Cersie, Tywing, etc. had…

The wheel is still there. Dumb Robin is in charge because of his birth. Dumb Edmund is in charge because of his birth. Dumb Sansa is in charge because of her birth. Bron is in charge because we was willing to kill people for money, then not kill them for even more money. Gendry is in charge because he’s a Baratheon.…
