If you’re going to sell your body for money, you just don’t have a reputation. I may be old fashioned, I dunno.

None of those minority demographics understand how to represent a white male any better than a white male understands how to represent them.

This is for all the people who complain that any criticism of non-white male characters is dismissed as sexist or racist.

If you think your harassment is ‘critique’ yet you’re targeting an actress, someone who has no say whatsoever in the casting or direction taken, you’re as much of an idiot as you are an asshole.

I think a lot of it has to do with how the characters are built. In so many of these movies the characters are entirely one-dimensional (either good or bad) and every action is so obvious and pre-determined that they might as well be consulting the script for their next move.

In fact - IN FACT - you are making me think about other films. Did anyone dismiss Nic Cage’s character in “Leaving Las Vegas”? What about that film critic’s darling, “Sideways”, with the two male characters lurching and drinking their way through wine country, suffering their midlife whiny-boy issues? Those two…

I remember seeing so many fights about Luke messing with Rey with the leaf he picks up, with people calling it completely wrong in tone and things like that.

Yeah, you do. Like C-3PO slapping R2 when he won’t play the hologram for Luke again, or Yoda fighting with R2 over a lantern on Dagobah, or Jabba knocking C-3PO over when he’s mad, or any number of other bits like that.

This is what all marijuana smokers think. As someone who works in college residence halls, the vast majority of smokers are completely nose blind to the smell of weed. I’ve had to bring in professional cleaners to get the smell out on a multitude of occasions. This is also true for vaporizers. Now, if you want to not…

The only way I’d stay on a show based on Anne Rice material is if Anne and her son Christopher weren’t allowed anywhere near it. They’re nightmares to deal with.

““I called the doctor and asked what should do, and he said ‘calm her down,’” Ayers said. He said he asked the doctor if spanking would work, and the doctor said yes.”

He said he asked the doctor if spanking would work, and the doctor said yes.

Luke abandons his friends?

He had 4 seconds of fear-based reaction. That’s it. I’d wager everyone had a terrible thought for 4 seconds. Unfortinately, 4 seconds was all it took. And in that 4 seconds he screwed up everything. In his mind, he could not be trusted not to fall to the darkness again. He thus removed himself from the equation.

Rob - I’m largely on the same page as you. Born in 1976, and Luke Skywalker is my hero.

She was the more qualified candidate by a billion miles.

Yeah but what if one candidate who may not be perfect but certainly isn’t Hell on Earth like the other dude doesn’t inspire me?

Yeah? I should have kids? I’m in my mid 30s, unmarried, don’t own a home, and I’m still paying off extensive student loans. You fuckers have made it impossible for this generation to afford anything, and yet you think we should procreate so we can, what, have a new generation of struggling poors?

We’re getting a big-budget sci-fi thriller with an entirely female cast of lead characters.
