This protection also seems like a convenient way to clear up space on an oversold flight without having to pay passengers for the inconvenience.

To me, Rey is still up on that hill, arms outstretched to Luke, but she looks down, kind of confused, with Luke saying “You’ve seen something. What are you seeing?”

I have to say that I reflexively shuddered at this part:

“It’s dumb that they just brought back Palps after not mentioning him in either of the previous movies. Like we’re supposed to believe that he was like just off-screen the entire time.”

I can only assume some producer waltzed Hannah to Kelsey’s bottle and that some sick PA was tasking with shaking up the second bottle, or something, but I don’t really care.

Why on earth is this headlined “In True Cruella De Vil Fashion, San Francisco Doesn’t Want to Give Up Fur”, with the text noting “Except, of course, every state has their own Boston and for California, that’s San Francisco: the tech hub wants its fur back, pretty please.” when the lawsuit is filed by a trade…

Agreed! I can skim 17 pages in a few minutes or read them all in under 25 minutes, rather than listening for 45 minutes. This is always my frustration with podcasts. When I’m listening, I’m always keenly aware of how much I’d rather be reading the discussion than listening. My sister listens to a bunch of podcasts on…

you know, Popeye (the character) is really old at this point. My grandparents were kids when he was created, and Popeye hasn’t been all that big in popular culture since the early ‘80s.

MONA for a 25 yo female? First thought would be pulmonary embolism. If she had normal vital signs and normal vital signs at triage, I could see her getting triaged to a low category. I imagine a good triage would have drawn labs for troponins and d-dimer at a minimum, but who knows. Chest pain is often an automatic…

I saw 1917 this weekend, too, and I really loved it. The one part I didn’t care for was the “one shot” gimmick. For me, it threw off any sense of space and distance - things started feeling like they took place in video game geography - you rode in a truck for 30 seconds, you’ve gone 4 miles, you walk for 2 minutes,…

Went to go see 1917 which I thought was even better than I expected. I feel like the “one shot” concept is what’s getting all the hype but George MacKay’s performance is so beautiful, I wish he were getting more buzz for it.

I reread Aristotle’s Poetics and I watched Joker. Aristotle would not rate Joker highly as a tragedy.

I wonder what Sanders would actually do on foreign policy were he elected.

As someone who was at ground zero on day one I have to say “Star Wars” was best appreciated when nobody took it seriously. Everyone, even the fanboys, saw it as a pop culture collage that touched upon everything from Flash Gordon and Errol Flynn to Kubrick and Kurosawa and had its tongue in cheek almost as deeply as…

I saw this when it was first released as a kid and I cannot overstate how much impact it had. The combination of the astonishing special effects, the great photography in live shots, and the streamlined plot were astounding.

“Beyond Mark Hamill’s floppy Tiger Beat hair, nothing about Star Wars even looks ’70s.”

I’m now a 100% OT Purist. I have no love for both Prequels and Sequels and I think that the true quality Star Wars trilogy will always be The Original Trilogy especially with TROS having completely screwed up the entire Sequel trilogy.

Remember in the last 10-15 years how skinny actresses and models used to “brag” about all the unhealthy food they’d eat and then swear they had a high metabolism?

I like when fit attractive people try to pretend they are fat like the rest of us.

If Olivia Wilde has a “gut,” then the average woman must have the same dress size as the Stay Puft Man.
