Idk. Kanye’s antics are meant to induce fury. Getting people riled up creates the disorder necessary to keep have-nots at each other’s throats. Personally, I’m tired of falling for it.

The most infuriating part of this is that Ye is supposed to be pronounced Yay, because that’s how it’s pronounced in Kanye, but now he’s trying to leverage the pun and pronounce it how it looks it’s supposed to be pronounced anyway, matching the long e in ecosystem. Does this guy’s arrogance know no bounds?

I haven’t read a lot of the esoterica so I don’t know what Tolkien wrote about this, but my impression was that the relationship between Annatar and Celebrimbor was reciprocal, and that Sauron wouldn’t necessarily have been able to forge the other rings on his own. What feels weightless to me about this is that…

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we see all Five Wizards next season.”

Watching Archer deep-six a dude down a bathroom drain

And the Empire built taverns with big screen TV’s along the pilgrimage trail to keep the Aldhanians placated and out of the valley. Jesus, show. Offhand comment making me reevaluate my life n’ shit.

the re-release is doing really well the “who asked for this” bit about the avatar sequel has expired. A lot of people apparently.

I liked Avatar well enough when I saw it the first time, but I recently went and saw the rerelease and man is it a great fucking movie. People go on about the story being a rip off, belying their limited understanding of stories. They complain that great CGI doesn’t make a movie great, and then complain about…

...yeah, he announced four sequels after the first one came out. It’s so weird that people keep acting surprised James Cameron is making some movies he said he’d make.

That was as old-school as Star Wars props get - huge callback to the original movie and the repurposing of all sorts of everyday items.

Hell yes it was. Star Wars practical effects out of everyday items are back, baby! It’s 1999 and I’m seeing my mom’s razor standing in for Qui-Gonn’s communicator all over again.

Was that just a straight-up Polaroid Land Camera standing in for Nemik’s interstellar sextant?

Wilford Brimley is always a cheat as he looked old for his age . Anyway people aged quicker back then, it was the from the CFCs in the air and post trinity testing nuclear fallout or something.

I am so very sick of the whole, “Did this justify it’s existence?” or “Did this need to happen?” or “Who asked for this?” as a line of criticism.

Rogue One was a mess on a tonal and construction level, an example of a Star Wars property afraid to go really, truly dark and morally dubious...

No, I’m not. I am so very sick of the whole, “Did this justify it’s existence?” or “Did this need to happen?” or “Who asked for this?” as a line of criticism.

You know how Andor justifies its existence? Because someone had an idea and some suit at Disney approved it and gave it a budget and a bunch of directors and…

He definitely has the look for it too.

I enjoyed it more than I expected. It didn’t rely on an overuse of callbacks, easter eggs, nor pandering while still managing to keep all the trappings of Star Wars.

I had to laugh at Karn’s earnestness mixed with utter incompetence. Your boss directly orders you to ‘drop it’ and instead you bank a ton of overtime…

So it looks like we are finally going back into old Expanded Universe (EU).

No one else is happy you debuted that.
