When I was introducing my kid to the trilogy and that scene came on I grabbed the remote and fast forwarded, just saying “nopenopenopenope.” Which annoyed her since it was only a minute or so after I paused it for ten minutes to explain that regardless of what she knew she saw on screen, Han fucking shot first.…

I liked it too, I think some people didn’t like its tone, because Marvel has been generally going bigger movie to movie and this was like a step back; just a little fun heist movie on the side. It wasn’t grand, like the Avengers movies or Guardians, it wasn’t weighty like Captain America 2, it was just a smaller, fun,…

Totally agree, it was the best “Bond” movie in ages. It gets the franchise in a way that no one else has in a while. You need the whimsy, but it can’t be winking; they just nailed the tone perfectly I thought, the madness, the action, the ability for the lead to take a moment out of combat to flirt and then get back…

I’m still asking where are the good Black Widow figures already?

Well in fairness, the power of pork does compel me

It’s for their benefit, don’t the lady folk understand? They have important things to do like raising the kids and planning meals, you know, running the household. How can they be expected to keep up on issues too. Also, because they can’t do math

It’s their version of #Alllivesmatter, their way of saying they don’t need to talk about issues that effect women since all issues effect women, so they already are. Because why discuss access to health care, fair pay, sexual assault on campus, or one of the myriad issues effecting women specifically when they can…

I think the show is very good at choosing with plots to use and exclude, at finding ways to condense stories or replace superfluous characters with known ones so as to keep great characters off of the sidelines, but they are less good when coming up with their own storylines. I think last year proved that the show is…

Every day you get through is a victory, it takes real strength to overcome something like that. It’s great to hear you are doing so well, and whever you struggle, and that’s natural, remember how awesome and strong you are for having already come this far. *Infinity pats on the back

A million congratulations on getting past that, that is awesome and so are you

The “please don’t suck thing” is so true. As much as I wanted it to be great I was more terrified it would be bad, because that would be more heartbreaking than a movie should be able to be. I think as high as the highs of great new Star Wars could be, it’s not nearly as low as the lows would have been if it sucked. I…

As a reward for your achievement, I’ll be happy to tell you the story whenever you want. It’s exactly as nuts as it sounds, involving much tequila, fireworks the size of my head (are they just called explosives at that point?), and police bribery gone right followed almost immediately by police bribery gone very, very…

Is that men and women’s bathroom? One place I used to go a lot had a line of four urinals, two were missing and the holes never closed so everyone peed into the holes in the wall. I watched (while likely peeing into the wall) as a guy walked in with a guitar, smashed the mirror with it, pulled down a shard, and snort…

Congrats, I’ve been there and good for you. That’s a good way to celebrate, fun but not crazy (mine ended with me having to flee Mexico at 2am).I just cranked up my NOFX in your honor

That’s all well and good, but was it locally sourced?

And even that one has been unacceptable for about the last fifteen years or so

Is there anything like the bathroom of a punk club? Holy shit, when I think back, one place had sledgehammer holes in the doors, several had no doors at all, and they all seemed to be perpetually flooded. I miss being young enough to walk into a bathroom like that, not think anything of the fact there was blood in…

That drives me nuts, there is such a disparity between the selection in boys and girls/mens and women’s sections. When my daughter was little it wasn’t a problem getting a shirt from the boy section but as girls get older they don’t want a boy shirt, and then obviously they don’t fit right. And don’t get me started,…

28. I did not use heroin in preparation for The Basketball Diaries. I did use heroin in preparation for Titanic

I also think they get crap for them because people learned that Lucas was the one making that sweet, sweet merchandise money, which made a lot of people think he did it just to sell toys.
