I was also going to say Explorers. I mean the kid was maybe a bit too dreamy and starry eyed, so seemed almost disappointed the aliens were not what he wanted even though they were aliens with a massive spaceship, but not "a tool." (Okay he spied on that one girl, but he was like what 13? You can't expect full out

I love that Click has their romantic song be "Linger" by the Cranberries. I mean "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan would be even wackier, but "You know that song about being used, confused, and lied to in a relationship? That's our song!"

I thought I could think of one, but I'm blanking.

Mostly, but for me she got kind of skeletal looking for awhile there.

I thought she was okay in Groundhog's Day. (Not saying the greatest ever, but she didn't ruin the movie or anything unless you're just hardcore against her.) Maybe all her directors should just tell her "use your natural accent if you want, we'll make it work somehow." (The commentary for the movie says he told her to

Yeah. That he was fit, and willing, to start a new relationship was maybe partly a sign he was improving and not the sole cause. What I recall of the movie he was still kind of messed up in their first meetings so it's not like meeting her fixed everything.

I actually didn't like that movie as much as I hoped I would.

Some things support that. Other things I've read seem to indicate the alt-right doesn't think he precisely shares their values, but they mutually used each other. That he's more about power and crushing the Left.

Yeah. I was going to say I think mine was a bit more than a "hopeful interpretation" as there was something about his memory, as I recall, seemed a bit off and dreamlike. Plus I'm not sure anyone corroborated his reading of what happened.

I know what site I am on, but come on. Poland was a victim of the Nazis and he mentioned that.

I think I read that, in part, it's that extremists are more motivated to vote and to get others to vote. Extremism can give you zeal whereas moderates may lack that. And then maybe a cycle develops where extremists are the ones winning the primaries so moderates feel less reason to vote in the general election. And

It is kind of amusing how woke and social justicy the place tends to be (to an annoying degree at times) and yet people say "midget" freely (in fairness some older proportional dwarfs still use that, but I don't think people are limiting it to elderly people with proportional forms of dwarfism) or goofs on the blind

Somehow that doesn't surprise me much.

Dark Matter

Although that's true, I think it might be more sensible to get the blind actors there are and get them the roles they can get. Then build up the resumes and push for actual people rather than a concept. (And if they can't get any roles make the issue that no one is giving them a chance, not that some film with Demi

I agree in theory, but what blind actor would work in this role?

The disabled can use that word, or ones like it, you can't. I can't see going to another OI and going "What's up crip?" but if one did it to me I might laugh. If one of you bipeds did it I might be a bit "huh?"

I do think you kind of have to accept the limitations in one's disability, including my own, can be quite real. I read for a part in High School where the character danced. I knew, at some level, that no matter how well I did it wasn't going to work as my legs are too weak to stand let alone dance. In some

It's possibly more about getting attention. Getting people thinking why we accept non-blind actors playing blind or the fate of blind actors. Everyone else gets to tell "their story" but their story is, essentially, always by someone else. (Weirdly I know of actors with my condition and yet Mr. Glass was played by

I think they're increasingly bringing it up because there have been several winning awards for playing disabled when disabled actors themselves sometimes have a rough go of it. It's like it's building. Also us disabled are maybe just more activist in general of the last few years. Whereas before they/we might have
