I would agree it’s not mean spirited, but it is a tellingly insensitive joke to make when presenting the VFX award. The industry sets these effects companies up to struggle and shows zero interest on re-working the arrangement. So making this joke, especially in light of the effect house in question having closed,…

This is going right in the bookmarks, that’s awesome.

eventually I’d turn back to my laptop or book, where I was more comfortable

“Between now and the inevitably surreal behind-the-scenes material likely to accompany Cats’ home release”.

We seniors are excited about Mayor Pete, but we know Joe is the best choice to carry on President Obama’s legacy in 2020. We envision Pete being groomed as Joe’s successor while serving in a cabinet position. Mayor Pete is the future of President Obama’s legacy.

I love this time of year, because it’s easier to avoid them altogether. Haven’t watched more than 15 minutes of cable news all week. You really do feel better.

3 years ago? It feels like a decade. Like, actually. The relative peace and absence of scandal of the Obama years feels so far away. 

I miss their excellence ... tired of the craptastic duo we got now.

I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying.

I can’t bear to watch this, but just seeing it fills me with (possibly foolish, but so?) hope for the future, thank you.

After watching that dour, joyless  hostage video of Melania and Donald Trump, here’s a reminder (from just three years ago) of how joyful and inclusive a First Couple’s Christmas message can and should be!

Trump hates Christmas because Jesus gets more attention than he does.

However bleak things might seem sometimes, I can always take comfort in the fact that I am not a Trump.

This felt like a Transformers movie. Not Bumblebee, the Michael Bay Transformers movies. Just a bunch of stuff thrown on the screeen.

I might be the only SW fan that thinks this way but I would’ve been excited by the adventures of Finn, Poe and Rey with almost no ties to the OT.

*sigh*

Wait... You are applying logic to a movie series featuring magic space knights and woodland creatures capable of destroying tanks?

For goodness’ sake, YES! Movies - even fantasy sci-fi movies - operate on an internal logic! Unless it’s some avant-guard, surreal or otherwise absurd style of storytelling, you can’t wave…

But then Disney wouldn’t get that sweet sweet China market. Better to just make the LGBT diversity involve nameless extras that can be easily edited out for China. /s

Ritual sacrifice? So it would make a good double feature with MIDSOMMAR?

Meanwhile, Tasha Robinson put it on her best of the year list. As did Justin Chang and Owen Gleiberman (whose number one is Joker). I’m looking forward to seeing this.
