Milk helps keep the blood wall from drying out. And nobody likes a dry blood wall.

Also, soft drink sales have been declining for years but you don’t see Coke or Pepsi declaring bankruptcy. Instead, they just tricked everyone into buying energy drinks and colored water. You gotta pivot, Dean!

I humbly submit tea with coconut cream. It’s the only thing I kept from stupid keto.

Yeah, I’m fully expecting some kind of “We should not vote on removal of a president in an election year—we should leave it to the voters in November” bullshit from Mitch.

Melville was an abusive narcissist (who beat his wife and children) who achieved early success with a pair of anthropology-tinged sailing adventures that he claimed were informed by his actual travels (Typee and Omoo, where Not-Herman finds himself on an island of stupid primitives and proceeds to detail to the reader…

The area around southern New Hampshire and Lowell, MA. At the time, there was also a very strong “The Illuminati Is Real” contingent. I had one student tell me she couldn’t be bothered to write her final essay because Obama was the antichrist installed by the Illuminati to bring about Armageddon in a few months (when…

I never saw the HP movies. I don’t like movies about wizards. I’ll just stick to Star Wars, thanks.

Just by having him on they’ve played right into his hands. Either they sit quietly and give him an audience to spew his propaganda, or they argue with him and validate the fabricated persecution complex that is the premise of the book he’s there promoting! They could’ve just not had him on, never mentioned his book,…

What’s Karen Allen up to at the moment?

It worked with Dumbledore, didn’t it?

Yup. I have no problem with the existence of reboots, remakes, and sequels in theory. My problem is when they soak up all the production and marketing money (and screen space) so we can have a small handful of bloated pseudo-epics, leaving nothing left to make smaller films with.

You have my sword . . . or bow . . . or halbard? I don’t know. I don’t watch movies with elves. Anyway, I’m on your side.

This is a fascinating theory, but why would Han do that? His goal was to bring Ben home. Han could be oblivious sometimes, but he’s aware enough to know that killing himself is only going to drive his son further toward the Dark Side.

I was just thinking this morning, as I pulled into the parking garage, if I were dumb rich I would buy a DeLorean . . . but how would I play the Miami Vice theme from my iPhone? And then . . . ah-ha! A cassette adapter! And now this article. I think it’s a sign.

You forgot the part where the offshoot Ewok tribe shows up with ancient Jedi runes branded into their stomach fur that allow them to concentrate Force energy into powerful, colorful blasts of searched feelings. First Order troops fall by the dozens when the Carbers perform their mighty stare.

I suppose they could go with Leia dying being the turning point that begins Ben’s ultimate redemption . . . but dude killed Han Solo! If the plan is to rehash Vader’s reversal at the end of Jedi and Kylo goes good, I don’t know. I just don’t see a way for it to work after we saw Kylo Ren kill Han. I don’t think I can…

It involves James Dean.

Probably the closest to any plan they had. Also, you kill off Luke in #2 so you can have his Force Ghost show up in #3. Process of elimination, Leia is the Old Guard star of your third movie.

Could’ve been interesting in the context of The Last Jedi’s whole “It’s time for the Jedi to die/the Force doesn’t belong to the Jedi” theme. Because Leia was never trained as a Jedi (that we know of), whatever group or discipline or belief she created would be based on a new theory of Force interaction. Maybe one…

Point taken. Since we’re in fantasy world, the Wall is lumped into that general category of “Defense Spending,” or at least that’s where it would logically (and I laugh at using the word “logic” in any relation to the Wall) make sense to be in a budget. So, no, the money can’t go to the Wall. But you bring up another,…
