Tits and ass.
Bought myself a fancy pair.
Tightened up the derriere.
Did the nose with it.
All that goes with it.

“The need to keep their eventual romance a secret from the dogmatic forces of the Jedi Order ultimately lays an entire Republic low.”

This comment about French culture could not be any more American if it was wearing a MAGA cap, smoking meth and complaining about minorities.

Elzar Mann and Avar Kriss are clearly in love with each other, but I also think it’s pretty clear that even in the first book is setting thing in place to have Elzar, “the experimenting outsider,” fall to the Dark Side or at least be on the opposite side from Avar at some point in the future.

This film could not be any more French if it was wearing a beret, smoking a cigarette and complaining about the quality of bread in your city.

I’m going to keep watching. I never watched the original series (too young, never showed up in popular syndication, etc) but Im a fan of the Denzel movies and this delivered exactly what it promised: a network-TV-scaled version of the Denzel movies starring another magnetic, black icon.

So much to comment on here, but I can’t get past that shot of her IG post where she writes, “... at the end of the day we go to sleep at night knowing we have changed the lives of our students in the most meaningful, compassionate ways possible!!”

YES. The difference in what “rich” is in the characters’ minds can fuel a thousand master’s theses. Nick considers himself poor as a church mouse but has a daily cleaning woman/cook, for example. You’d think the class structures and constant Darwinian battle for the false security of wealth would be super relatable…

This has got to be absolutely eating him up inside.
Really gnawing at him, y’know?
It just... bites.

I wonder if a story of such efficiency would even be publishable today except as the centerpiece of a story collection. Forty-seven thousand words doesn’t quite make the cut for National Novel Month (50k) and the average is probably more like 80-90k.
