In general, the Jedi are a terrible mystic police force. But really, if someone brings you a kid who is on the top end of the “mystic power” scale and you want to turn the kid away because he’s to old, you completely deserve to have that kid turn evil and slice up every single member of the executive committee who…

That’s sort of interesting....did Black Widow, Hawkeye or Quicksilver (we hardly knew ye) ever get officially named in the movies?

The fact that only the white guy is getting another chance to be in movies sucks given that the guy who played the genie probably hasn’t auditioned for anything either.

when Lando is introduced to Leia and compliments her looks...that doesn’t turn into any sort of romantic subplot or anything, but it’s an obviously heteronormative moment.

Yeah, that’s probably a good point, don’t hype it if it’s not on screen. But I’m not sure in the case of Lando, that hype came from Disney, as much as fans being excited about the prospects. I honestly didn’t see Disney marketing Lando as anything other than a “younger version of the character you loved.” It’s during…

It would be nice, and I admit that Poe/Finn banter was fun in the first movie, but demanding EXPLICIT sexuality in a film series that really isn’t about anything sexual at all just seems like barking up a wrong tree.

That’s fine for your well-run roadway system with limited traffic out in the hinterlands. That doesn’t work in more populated areas where expressways are used as general transportation to and from work, for example. Where I live, for example, the on ramps and off ramps are placed together close enough such that the car…

Are there laws that prevent wheelies on expressways? 

Can you point us to any of these studies of evidence? I can believe data that “no died in Montana on roads with no speed limits, but every one dies on the New Jersey turnpike because of speed limits” if you don’t take into account the traffic density difference of those situations.

And don’t forget the team of other drivers who are scouting out ahead of you pushing cars out of your lane. Because everyone has that that available to you when driving cross-country.

Your honor, I’d like a citation of those facts and numbers presented to the court.

I’d argue that the Muppet Christmas Carol is the most traditional retelling of the story, because if you’ve read the original, the voice of the narrator is a strong and opinionated character of itself. Muppet Xmas is the only filmed version that I know of that actually includes the narrator (Gonzo and Rizzo) as a…

I watched BvS the other night, and it’s just awful. For a cinematographer, for example, the whole car/truck chase scene at the docks is just an amalgram of random shots that makes it impossible to follow what is going on. How many cars are in the convoy are left? Who knows? It seems like Batman took out 3 times the…

I didn’t catch the bent lever the first time. HOWEVER....

Okay, I see it now. The lever was bent to look like it was in the position. I originally thought that the lever had a flip to lock it into position by flipping it up. My bad.

Low to zero income tax rates due to massive income from Empire mining operations creates a utopia where everyone lives in stress-free opulence( until the Empire decides to blow it up ).

The original series is just a screwy, really. I mean, aside from a planet that has huge tracts of smooth places of ice (or salt!), those giant four-legged At-Ats are pretty useless. They are ridiculously slow and unbalanced for moving troops around, and why would you not put the weapons on the top where you can…

The lack of Boba Fett flying around haphazardly is severely lacking in this thread.

I mean it generally makes sense, except for the convoluted lever system they installed that essentially locks in the SAFE and UNSAFE piping to the same direction on the lever. Why not simply safe is up, unsafe is down?

I would imagine that an RC quadcopter of that size has a smaller chance of destruction than an RC aoroplane is things go bad.
