hey quick question: what the fuck are you talking about

Just don’t let him write his own screenplays.

So here’s my theory on the identities.  It’s a little unclear if the unnamed actress has won any of the three she’s been nommed for. But if we assume she hasn’t won, and if we eliminate those who are deceased, we are left with the following possibles

Joan Allen
Diane Ladd
Angela Landsbury
Piper Laurie
Laura Linney
Michelle…

Would something like, I don’t know, getting arrested for sexual assault suffice?

You need to watch the end of Blade Runner again. That line came from Deckard’s partner, not a Replicant.

*sigh* TARS from Interstellar is woefully overlooked yet again.

My interpretation of HAL was always less, “machine comes to life and tries to kill all humans” than “humans become way too dependent on a machine that malfunctions and leaves us shit out of luck.”

No mention of Marvin the Paranoid Android either.

Holy crap, no mention of Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation?

Can’t someone just comment on the Reva character with it having absolutely zero to do with what trash people happen to have been saying? Who gives a shit? I also like the character and have sung her praises without pausing for a nanosecond’s thought about what some asshole might think about it.

I had always suspected the editors don’t read the articles before they are posted. This confirms it and it is a seriously bad practice.

It remains an indispensable tool to this day”. That is a million miles…

Sure! I get the occasional use & the fact that the iPhone is just better hardware in general, but the whole “webcams are doomed” bit is a bit much?

Please read up on Public Key Encryption before you start whining about something you clearly do not understand.

Because Scott's track record with follow-ups is impeccable, right?

I was really against the whole “Bringing Palpatine back” aspect when RoS came out, but looking back, it wasn’t that bad an idea. There is a reason why it’s the first thing Dark Horse did when they got the license in the 90s. It fits the character of Palpatine to have plans to cheat death.

+1 - totally agree - well stated

I loved the Larry Hama comics as a kid, he really did elevate the material. I wish they could capture some of that original flavor, but this was probably our best shot, and sounds like they missed.

The Crimson Guardsmen were all full-time lawyers and accountants. COBRA ran several shell corporations (most notably ARBCO) for shuffling their funds around. Destro and Baroness were royalty from Europe so old money. Destro was also an arms dealer because of course he was. Basically, they were heavily capitalistic…
