I know, right? It’s a great first name for southern drag queens.

Regarding Leia resisting the Imperial interrogator droid in ANH being a Force ability: I’d point to Poe (who does not have nor is it ever hinted that he has Force abilities), eventually being broken by Kylo Ren’s Force mind probe and to Rey resisting Kylo Ren’s mind probe and reversing the charges (so to speak) on…

Someone on Twitter made a good observation about this:

Luke’s “brush-off” gesture was THE BEST.

It’s funny isn’t it. We all had high hopes that the move to Kinja would work out. But the truth is always so much more muted (in the sense of less joyful). What I’ve come to realize is everything in life is a disappointment, and in any situation you have to ask yourself, “Can I reasonably expect better?” And I don’t…

At CIFF, The Square didn’t have a line 2 hours before its start time, but God’s Own Country did. I’m not sure how hundreds of people who are probably not film critics would know about this film, but not film critics who cover festivals where this has screened almost exclusively in the U.S.

Obligatory “It’s so dense. Every single image has so many things going on” and “Here’s some money. Go see a Star War” post.

And now it’s won big at the British Independent Film Awards.

I’m looking forward to Jurassic World 4 where they discover interdimensional travel.

And it’s tied with The Shape Of Water on Sight & Sound’s poll of the best films of 2017.

Yeah, it’s opened in the U.S. and there have been multiple opportunities for critics to see the film.

And still no God’s Own Country.

There’s one factor that I think is easier to consider than one specific age: peer group.

Speculation about what’s on the pee tape seems a bit mild for serious blackmail material.

I thought Professor X’s death in Logan was anticlimactic and robbed the film of a powerful emotional moment and a fitting end for Patrick Stewart’s role in the film series.

Mr. John, all responses in this thread are to a comment about the “unfair power dynamics” at play in a relationship between an adult and a boy of U.S. high school age. Unfair power dynamics are the common denominator in sexual abuse and sexual assault cases and it is a fair topic for discussion.
