hahaha I didn't even think of that when I typed it.

It was a pretty popular film at the time and adult critics not only liked it but suggested it wholeheartedly even to adults. I doubt I'll revisit it any time soon, but I don't think it's inherently that weird to. A lot of the Disney films at that time (much like Pixar now) were "family" films in the truest sense of…

I'm a Spielberg apologist but this really is his worst film. And I wore out the tape as a kid, so I don't say that lightly. It really really sucks and doesn't hold up at all. Aside from the great Williams score.

I'm not saying your analysis is right or wrong, but I find it kind of amazing that you continue to watch entry after entry of a series you apparently don't even like for the most part

It's beyond hypocritical to get so up in arms over (relatively mild) alleged election interference when the stuff we do over and over and over again is anything but mild. No one's saying just to take it, but I would like to know where all the people complaining about Russia all of a sudden were the literally dozens of…

I was a huge huge fan of the Colbert Report and I've had to stop watching him because of this bullshit

Yeah I mean I take it on faith that they've done better stuff than Cloudy, I just haven't really sat down and watched any of it.

I mean I definitely raised an eyebrow at that too, but maybe he was having trouble playing this role particularly? Not every actor can be right for every role. (I really liked him in Hail Caesar, but thought from the start that was he was not right for Han Solo. Granted, no one other than Harrison Ford ever really…

I basically support her point I suppose, but I find it funny that leaving a franchise (or ending a franchise) that's already eight films in would constitute any sort of actual threat. There are already eight of these dumb movies, how many more could we possibly need?

For the record, the only thing I've seen that Lord and Miller have done was Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, which I wasn't really that crazy about. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh definitely (I'm more just telling people to catch out Body Heat and not limit themselves to Kasdan's Lucasfilm work, much as I love it, too). I do try to factor in relative opportunities, though. It's certainly possible Kasdan got stuck with lousier projects over time for various reasons, or that he could have…

There are different types of privilege. If you have a job with good conditions and which provides truly comprehensive medical insurance, you are indeed massively more privileged than most Americans, certainly on that metric.

Also, Body Heat. Watch Body Heat, it's so good.

Kind of. They didn't actually improvise it in the moment (the exaggerated myth of what really happened), but Harrison Ford pulled Kerschner aside and said "this guy wouldn't say this," so they brainstormed on set and came up with a better exchange.

Okay, so you're aware of some of the history at least. Then you should be aware that it isn't terribly easy now, either. People might not get beaten to death, sure, but they might lose their livelihoods. I tend to hate using this word, but you really do have to be coming from an extremely privileged position to blame…

Because people might get fired? Or otherwise retaliated against? Do you have any knowledge at all of the history of labor struggle? Trust me on this, it isn't as simple as going into your boss' office and demanding healthcare. I'm glad your employer provides good coverage but for many many people that isn't a luxury.…

Not automatically. I tried to sign up once when I was unemployed, and couldn't because of my most recent income at the time. In fact, we also couldn't find an exchange plan that was affordable, so I had to just go without any care at all.

I don't really like Depp at this point, but I'll be mad at this at the same moment I finally feel some sort of sympathy for Donald Trump as a person.

IIRC the tweet was actually aimed not at Ryan (who I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about him being a decent human being) but rather at Trump and specifically at Trump's misogyny; it was something along the lines that Trump would evaluate those girls as being "not 10s" or something. Which especially isn't that…

My girlfriend has a huge crush on him. I….don't know what that says about me.
