The Celebgate/Fappening perpetrators used a combination of guessing security questions and phishing expeditions. They sent out hundreds of emails disguised as official Apple communications. In some cases they redirected people to sites disguised as official Apple security portals that did nothing but save their…

Thanks for posting this. Much of this article reads as though the author thinks netflix penned this story themselves, without realizing that it is literally the exact contents of the first book (chronologically speaking, though it actually was the second book released). If anyone was confused by some of the actions…

Ys, exactly. Now I realize that the show exists independent of the books and that there isn’t necessarily a crossover between people who read the books and the people who watch the show (and the people who play the game). But at the same time, I thought it was a pretty faithful adaptation of the source material that…

Thank you, yes. For heavens sake. It was like Joan read another person’s criticism and based this post on that rather than watching the show herself.

Dude I can’t even get ungreyed, and I’ve been here since greys were PINK.

Her death was a deliberate plot device, concocted by a team of writers, to achieve this.

Henry Cavill is 36, not almost 40 and Jodhi May is 44, not 31. The only woman under the age of 23 is Freya Allan, and she’s playing a child.

Jezebel should hire you to be a guest writer, this is really good.

I was more mad about the dead animals, mostly because I think you’ve got the storytelling purposes twisted.

Jeopardy was appointment television growing up - dinner had to be done by 7. And maybe the funniest Cheers episode ever.

I absolutely guarantee that millions of middle-aged Americans know how a federal law is enacted thanks to that special. 

You did a good job pointing out why those first two movies are largely failures and why Rise required such a rushed exposition dump. TFA started out ok introducing some things, but when the movie should have started to go into more detail, it used its time to just do a re-telling of ANH with the eye rolling Starkiller…

To be fair, so did The Last Jedi. Luke Skywalker laughs about the absurdity of facing down the First Order with his laser sword? Then he does it. Kylo and Rey are bound by some strange connection to the force? Nope, it was all Snoke. Who’s nobody, cut in half, and the connection doesn’t matter. Benicio Del Toro…

Yep. The Last Jedi had a few actually great ideas, most notably that Rey didn’t come from some destined lineage, and that the movie (and ones that follow it) shouldn’t be beholden to ones that came before. That said, it had a lot of other problems, and one of them was being too infatuated with subversion and failure…

I think Johnson had much more interesting ideas than Abrams was capable of, but I completely agree that when you get to the end of the TLJ, and after everything that happened in the original trilogy and everything that happened in the new trilogy to that point, to have the Empire fully in control again and the rebels…

To be fair, the man was Lando, the smoothest dude in the universe.

I actually really liked the line of “It’s not a Navy, sir. It’s just people.” And, boy, do I hope that’s how 2020 goes. 

Thank you! The real reason I hated The Last Jedi is that it ultimately didn’t take the overarching story in any real direction. For everyone’s talk of how much it changed things, the state of our main characters was largely unchanged by the end of the movie. Kylo Ren was bad, Rey had no teacher, Finn had a reason to…

I’m not going to defend Rise of Skywalker, I read the Wikipedia plot summary and won’t be seeing it until Disney+, but was what Johnson did really that interesting or fresh? I didn’t like Last Jedi, at all really, but most of that wasn’t because of the apparently interesting and exciting choices Johnson made, that…

Yeah, my issue with TLJ all along is that it has some really terrific moments—including one, the throne room scene, that’s among the very best in the franchise—but they never cohered into a fascinating movie, and the whole thing ended up being just an interesting mess.

I’m not upset at Palaptine being back. Nor that his resurrection is kinda handwaved (being a huge old-EU fan helps with this).

However, you either seed his return in TFA/TLJ or don’t do it at all.

Imagine this - in TFA, we get a scene with Snoke where he goes to speak with someone we don’t see or hear - “who could his…
