Oh, I'm totally dubious. I can't imagine that there won't be people who are really disappointed by these new movies, just bitterly angry. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there isn't some sort of critical reevaluation of the prequels, something along the lines of yes, those movies were terrible, but they were still…

It's true. It's rare to find a space that isn't overtaken by ads too.
The media is biased more towards itself then to a political party. The news is no more then constructed events that are shown in a manner to best create interest and sensationalism. Take an event, even one that could seem mundane, add 24 hour coverage and "breaking news" and you have an income stream.
Well, insomnia is good for something, I suppose.
Let us move passed the outright lie you made about what I said, as I never made the argument that he should be "happy with whatever they give him." No, no. Let's first touch base on the contradictions and absurdities in your post.
Basically, to you, they're going to be a…
There's a fundamental problem with the mentality of police in America, and that is that the police are "Law Enforcement", not "Safety Enforcement" - they are motivated (and they get funding based on it) to convict as many people of crimes as they can find, not to keep people safe. Not only does this mean that bad laws…
Confronted with a decision that could change the Daleks forever
The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…
Just because something is not a 100% solution does not mean that it should not be implemented if it can help drastically reduce the problem.
Working at Gawker Media is a dream job for many of the women on staff here at Jezebel. This is a place that takes…
The moment a corporation pays you a wage, no matter how low, the rest of them bite and scratch and claw to get it back.
I'm on your side in principle, but your premise is faulty. It's not ethically consistent to allow everyone to do ANYTHING they want with their bodies. I don't think it's okay for me, a man, to stand by a primary school with my junk out.
"Another day, another pair of grown men fighting over women's bodies."
OF COURSE YOU CAN'T CHANGE A FUCKING DIAPER IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESTAURANT.
That's Flappy Goat silly ;)
"Until we can sever this unhealthy obsession with quantifying absolutely everything into bare, cold numbers we'll miss our goals because we're not really teaching Critical Thought even though we say we are. Passing the horrid test is more important and job security and sometimes one's economic means are tied to how…
Yes, it definitely did. In spite of the "magic flowing water" moment near the ending of the first one, both miniseries really made a point of foregrounding the false and manipulative aspects of the messiah-story — which, after the Lynch version, I was very grateful to see. (That's part of why I was so taken aback by…
You're totally right, the most logical in-universe change would actually be for year 0 to coincide with Palpatine taking power. But that means it's not a neat match up to the first film in the prequels, like BBY/ABY is.
Wait, but why would Episode I mark year 0 anyway? While yes, Palpatine's ploy on Naboo ultimately turned out to be important insofar as it led to Anakin's discovery (and Palpatine's initial election) it was basically a backwater affair within the context of galactic politics. A much more logical alternative for year 0…
