Time ran backwards until Jesus was born. Duh.

I feel like Miller is confusing Alexander I, who was a contemporary of Xerxes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_I_of_Macedon), with Alexander III, a.k.a. the Great (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great).

I can’t wait to ignore it as I’ve done with that misogynist prick’s work for the last twenty years.

This is the perfect time for my “The Last Jedi but all the young people are cut out of it” fan-edit. It’s 45 minutes of Luke Skywalker telling Rey to get off his property, followed by Supreme Leader Snoke illustrating why you should write your damn free-loading kids out of your will the first chance you get. Luke…

The Star Wars movies are now officially for old people

I’ve done a fair bit of diving - reef and wreck diving at moderate (~100ft) depths.

It delights me beyond words that “Thagomizer” has entered the professional vocabulary.

video of the exam was just leaked:

This. Most (all?) cable TV is 1080i; Internet streaming is compressed to all hell.

I think we need to get the other end of the equation straightened out before we start worrying about 8K TVs. As it is right now, I can’t even get decent quality streams of content in 1080p that aren’t compressed to hell and back. I can’t even imagine how bad trying to stream 4K content is right now... of which there…

I always love these comments. Used to hear the same for 1080p vs. 720. Then it was 4K vs. 1080. Fact: Your eyes can tell the difference. Full stop.

No, that’s not what it’s about.

Rebekahzula Mercer: I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing. So you’ve had to struggle and connive and claw your way to power. But true power, the divine right to rule, is something you’re born with. The truth is: they don’t know which one of us is going to be sitting down on that throne,…

Not disputing your basic premise here, but remember, Barack Obama was elected President just 9 years ago. In fact, the last three Democratic Presidents were not rich by any measure. But if you’re going to nominate a non-rich candidate then you sort of have to trust in his or her charisma and ability not to fall down…

He will be writing Tom Clancy style thrillers in a couple of months and be doing very well at it. That’s my best bet.

um, are you saying that FB didnt promulgate an unending stream of fake news, anti-empirical BS for basically the entirety of its existence, let alone the 2016 election season? I deleted FB ~15 months ago due to the unending stream of easily and obviously false info hitting my feed. I dont miss it.

If only every movie about Star Wars prior to this one had ever referred to shields or blast doors. Then maybe we wouldn’t need our hands held through this difficult time.

Never had an issue with this scene from a force perspective..
Luke pulling the sabre from the ice block in the Wampa Cave
The emperors Force lightning? Never before seen things - the force? Cool ok

No, my issue was the way it was filmed, the visual effect, the very angle to me was humorous, I actually started laughing on…
