I do think that Trump's success shows the limits of what satire can achieve. How much will making jokes about how crazy Trump is actually change people's minds? Reminds me of Peter Cook's line about all those cabaret artists who did so much to stop the rise of Hitler.

I think that even when he covers relatively worn-out topics often he's good at finding a new angle to cover them with.

Early in Trump's campaign, people generally assumed his popularity was just because he was the latest shiny thing to catch the public's attention and he'd be gone faster than you can say "SQUIRREL!" We didn't think there were millions of people who actually wanted him to be president.

I wonder why this is happening now, though. The economy's been worse than it is now at other times in recent history, so why is it only now that people are so fed up they'd consider someone like Trump?

I think there's a difference between now and 2012, though. I was wondering if Trump would've won the nomination if he'd run in 2012. My guess is no, because I think the attitude among GOP voters is different now. Pretty much every crackpot in the GOP race led in the polls at one time, but the nomination went to…

When?

"This dame's got spunk, see?

As good as B5 is, I think one reason its more ardent fans can be annoying is because the show attracts people who buy into the auteur theory a little too much, the idea that Great Art is produced by one Great Artist bringing his/her adulterated vision to the masses(fits with JMS's Sorkinesque love of the idea that…

I think blaming the media for Trump's success is kinda misguided. A lot of people blame the media for two reasons:
-Giving him too much free coverage. I think this is misguided because the media have always been in it for ratings, as much as we like to think there was a golden era of journalism when that wasn't true.…

Pryor, not so much.

I doubt that his "I speak my mind and don't bow down to the PC police!" shit will work in the general election like it did in the primaries, and if he tries to tone it down I doubt that'll work because he just can't pull off looking dignified. I realize I could be tempting fate given how much all the other…

Toy Story 3 was released 11 years after 2(which, to be fair, was released only 4 years after the first).

I think Inside Out has good potential for a sequel about a decade or so from now.

I love this one: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Trump would bring us excremental progress!

I'd like to see the Matrix trilogy remade as a limited series, hopefully with a better plan for the endgame.

Yeah, it was so funny when Obama (insert something bad he did)!

"I think the Trump thing might have shaken Jon Stewart from his jaded lethargy."

I think nuBSG going all LOST on us inadvertently created a profitable plan for the franchise: keep on making new reboots that either waste their potential or start off great but botch the endgame, so that people will keep going "Maybe this one will finally get it right!"

I'm kinda surprised that hasn't been rebooted considering what a legendary waste of potential it was.
