Yeah. It’s tough because anyone going to that film was going to see Bridges, and any other actor is fighting a losing battle with the audience every minute the movie delays Flynn’s introduction. Not an enviable position to be in, but Hedlund was unfortunately not able to rise to the challenge.

I’m a Gen Xer who has been done with the 80s nostalgia ride for a while. However, I don’t think it’s over just yet. If movie studios start using the same algorithm as Netflix to determine what gets a greenlight, you can expect many more reboots and homages.

I thought I was ride or die for all things Tron, but it’s trumped by my physical inability to watch anything with Jared Leto in it.

I would be first in line to tear that statue down.

Actually, I missed a word at the very beginning. Should read “Why do you need teachers...”

Despite the rallies and campaign, I’m really starting to think that he knows it’s so far beyond anything he can fix that he thinks he just has to make it to November and then it’s someone else’s problem.

Why do you teachers if you already have the best brain, a tremendous brain, with incredible thoughts and, uh, words, words like you’ve never seen before (that’s what they say) just really fantastic?

You’re probably right: 1945, Founding of the United Nations. I was thinking 1947 because of the Truman Doctrine kicking off the Cold War. We definitely acted like PART of the world leadership before then, but that’s the point where we basically declared “This is the American Century now. We run this bitch. Get on…

The shirt confuses me for so many reasons. First, the geographic shape of the nation looked nothing like that in 1776. Second, if the shirt is referring to the United States, that doesn’t exist until the Constitution was ratified in 1788. Third, we really didn’t start “running the world” until 1947, though I suppose…

Hey Donald, while you’re worrying about an angry mob, I’m doing a fine job indoctrinating my children individually. The longer you facilitate this pandemic, the longer they get to stay at home all day with me and hear how the American Revolution was about rich white men who didn’t want to pay their taxes and the lower…

“We take this matter very serious. These men have been sent home to relax and collect a paycheck until everyone forgets this incident and they can be welcomed back to the Brotherhood as heroes.”

It’s called being “From Away.” I’ve lived here 7 years, but I’ll always be “From Away.” Which is fine. I was born a Masshole; I’ll die a Masshole.

The parts of Maine where they’re ok with outsiders are not the places where you can buy a house for the price of a monthly MetroCard. I live in Portland, off the peninsula, and my monthly mortgage is about the same as I was paying for a two-bedroom in Astoria in 2010.

There are many parts of Maine where they could just buy a new house for $100k after taxes.

Based on a Flesch-Kincaid analysis of the 2016 Republican debates, he speaks at a 4th grade level. And he hates The NY Times more than anything, which is written at a 10th grade level. So you’re probably not far off.

Your honor, as someone who works in legal marketing, I’d like to present Exhibit A as evidence of why law firms need marketing professionals. Writing an attorney bio is not something just anyone can or should do.

Because they actually hate themselves, and if you take away their racism then they’re left with no alternative but to confront the piece of shit they see in the mirror.

If nothing else, at least the competitiveness of these races is hopefully sending a message to the Democratic Establishment that we’re done with the backroom dealing “whose turn is it?” bullshit that forced Hilary Clinton on us in 2016. The days of getting the nomination because you’re next in line are over. (Maybe.)

Did people not like 37 episodes of Sawyer and Kate trapped in cages? It was 37 episodes, right?

Well, it was a nice empire while it lasted. I mean, not exactly nice. There was slavery and genocide of the indigenous people and women as second-class citizens and a civil war and children working in factories because their tiny hands fit in tight places and robber barons and labor unions being fired upon and a…
