With all sincerity, thank you for this. I previously thought I had a good argument and you thoroughly dismantled it. Not to be corny but your students are lucky to have you as a teacher.

Yes, and I will defend that decision to the ground. It is a pedagogically sound decision. My role as a professor is to foster critical thinking and knowledge formation in all of my students. To do that, we need a classroom community where students feel free and safe. Too often, critiques like yours fail to truly take…

SAG-AFTRA granted those productions ‘waivers’ which essentially means that AMC has agree to the contract demands of SAG-AFTRA now, to be updated by whatever SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP decide on later. while they are officially called waivers, the better way to think about these are “interim contracts.” they are fully…

They got waivers for agreeing to all their demands. That’s an issue for you? Giving the union what it wants?

It’s weird that these allowances are controversial. Seems pretty clear - you meet the demands and work resumes. It also is very telling that smaller studios can accommodate while larger ones pretend the demands are unreasonable.

Its not that the sequel trilogy depicted as instant per se, its that the sequel trilogy decided that time and space (distance/where things are...not literally space itself) were worthless concepts and got rid of them entirely. Everything in those movies happens now.

Yeah - I thought this episode sort of rejected the “grey Jedi” idea once again. Ashoka mentioned how the dark side was basically consuming and a trap. She was pretty clearly training her on light side technique.

I loved that their hyperspace journey actually took time and gave the show some breathing room to explore the characters. That’s how hyperspace was most often depicted in Star Wars media until the sequel trilogy when it was depicted as basically instantaneous travel between two points no matter how far apart they are. 

I really don’t understand why Armstrong can’t shut up about this issue. It’s obvious he doesn’t care about women’s sports, and he certainly doesn’t care about fairness in athletic competition, so why does he feel so compelled to keep this going?

I mean he’s a gigantic asshole so this is in no way surprising.

Are you ok?  This seemed so random I re-skimmed the article to make sure I didn’t read the wrong thing.

I wouldn’t necessarily describe it as “full speed ahead.”

Really more that KJA was just notoriously a work for hire author who spent the 90s churning out forgettable tie-in novels for whatever franchise was popular that week.

Yeah, I feel like Steppenwolf was utterly pointless and really should just have been big Chonky himself.

My personal favorite part was where all those brave Amazon warriors give their lives to bring down the stone security doors to keep the villain from escaping the tomb… with a GIANT HOLE in the roof. 

I haven’t, exactly for that reason - it’s “cut” a movie if you don’t actually edit your stuff. Also because while I have an academic interest in seeing his version of JL, 4 hours of everything I hated in BvS is a hard sell.

Finally, a take that reads more like reality and less like auteur fanfic. Filoni is VERY good at his job, but ascribing to him some sort of mortal anguish about penning his way out of a stinger scene from the end of Rebels is such nonsense. I imagine it took him all of maybe ten minutes to clear his head and figure…

Dude, writing that movie involved doing a search and replace on the Point Break script to turn “surfboard” into “car.” Sit down.

They could definitely have used a scene where Ahsokha goes “I found out Elsbeth knows a way to find Thrawn, so i tracked her down and found out she believes he is exiled to this far away galaxy.  And I found out she believes there is a map to Galaxy X.  And I am going to beat her to it!”  right at the beginning.

It literally had a bright yellow line that apparently was pointing directly to the galaxy he supposedly is in the second Sabine and Elsbeth opened it.
