Yes. All the way in A New Hope Threepo laments that “we’ll be sent to Spice mines of Kessel, for sure!” And yes, it was probably a deliberate Dune reference — Dune was a massive influence on all space opera thereafter.

Too bad all the Picts died hundreds of years ago.

Cats fucking rules. It's wild, trippy, constantly surprising and has a few decent tunes. Even the visuals are good, once your brain adjusts.

Jeffery Wright is the center of everything he’s in. Even in that standoff I had with the police they were all, like, “Release Jeffery Wright!”

Not enough white sauces! I need to know which blue cheese or ranch dressing is the best.

I’d be happy looking like 55 year old Pitt in “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” myself...

No one’s worried about that.  They’re worried that he’ll march into a brokered convention and announce that if he doesn’t get the nom he’ll just run as an independent targeting the votes of the Democratic nominee.

He had a brief spike in national polls after astroturfing the shit out of social media and TV, but after the debate he’s been a total joke. 

he still might. don’t underestimate thousands of millions of dollars.

Well, if it’s anything like the last three movies, the guy playing Johnny Storm’s going to be the best part and end up playing a much more interesting character in another MCU movie.

I think the problem is that audiences (and critics) were lost because they hadn’t seen the first in the series, Cat.

I noticed that too. I know he won’t actually pull off the cowl without a cut, but it’ll be cool to see Batman sitting in the Batcave with his mask hanging back instead of being a weird helmet.

This is walking a fine line between neat idea and stupid, but I think Kevin Smith’s shitty writing (“I’m going to burn the metal that killed my parents”) is what’s actually causing me to feel that way. So consider me still excited!

I mean, the single purpose of this is to make sure out first look isn’t a telephoto shot from Pattinson’s coffee break, so it doesn’t have to be all the informative.

Something else I just noticed, there’s stitching on the cowl along the nose and cheek and the neck wrinkles and flexes as he moves his head (you can see it around the 44 second mark), so it looks like this cowl is made of some leather-type material rather than the molded plastic of every version since Keaton. 

If that “dum, dum-dum dum dum” is also a teaser of the film's musical theme, I’m in.

Once again, bring back Joshua Jackson, you cowards.

You had me at Alicia Vikander.
