“The only thing I can think of is maybe his botched Stormtrooper indoctrination made him so miserable that he emotionally latches onto the first ‘real’ person that gives him some modicum of attention. But that’s. . .just conjecture.”

This movie was his best work since AF1 at least. He absolutely nailed the aged, regretful Solo.

The first line of the film told you exactly what is was going to be about:

I am simply an un-woke knuckle dragging heathen, but.... Frank’s Red Hot.

Guffaw. My God, these ignorant rubes and their hilljack passion for an utterly meaningless game. Now back to game 8 of 162 for the Yankees and Mets!

On a related note, how low on the sportscaster food chain do you hafta be to pull the Ultimate Frisbee play by play and color commentator assignment?

A humble request from a guy who has attended way too many of these: please stop with the wedding pic where the girls pull open the guys’ shirts to reveal superhero uniforms underneath.

If TFA wanted to answer the question of her parentage, they certainly could have done so. They very deliberately did not, setting it up as some sort of mystery to be solved. If they now come out and say “well as it turns out her folks are just a couple of clerical workers from Ord Mantell” - that is just plain old…

It’s great and all to discuss the moon and Mars, but the United States is currently a country that does not have the ability to launch an astronaut into LEO. In fact, humanity’s only access to space comes in the form of systems (Soyuz and Shenzou) designed during the 1960's. Let's get reliable access to space back…

God save me from Internet rocket doctors....

The fries and slaw on my sammich say you are FOS.

The unflagging belief in a unconventional “process”, the constant references to the world of finance, the molasses thick self importance - you can thank Michael Lewis for all of this. This is what happens when you find yourself fantasizing about Brad Pitt portraying you in the movie version of your brilliance that…

(hell, in college I did write something like this document, though it was about relationships and addressed to a once-and-future girlfriend, and it wasn’y 13 pages but it was two pages of single spaced small text, accompanied with a mix CD where the first letter of every song title was an acrostic that spelled her…

I’m LOLing at the current TV spot where they use blurbs from random Twitter users instead of, you know... actual reviews.

There’s nothing at all paramilitary about The Duvision. They are a fully sanctioned agency of the federal government. They are the type of agency that real right wing paramilitary types would completely freak over. Obama sending in his jackbooted thugs and all.

Oathkeepers? WTF are you talking about? The oathkeepers are a right wing anti-government fringe group. They are the very last people you would find in a secret governmental armed sleeper cell FEMA group. That’s the type of group they wake up screaming in a cold sweat and clutching their rifles over.

The father of the FOS, Mike Polk, says it best:

Needs more “Say Jim..... that’s a bad out-fit”

He was probably fine with it, right up until one of his buddies called him out on it and started making fun of him about being a kept man, etc. He probably reacted poorly, and once his friends knew it bothered him, they were merciless with that shit. So instead of blowing it off or telling them to get fucked, it…

Even if 100% accurate, none of that is libel or slander.
