Second the recommendation. I’m due for a rewatch.

I think the most important thing to know is that the first scenes are gonna be tough sledding with mumbling and the accents. Really focus on getting through that in the first 10 minutes or so, and know it’ll be worth it. Also, know that there’s a great deal of originality in the film even though that last act might…

Yep, and I don’t get Gwen’s note that Eve’s time on screen is “marred by a horrific accent.” Surely Jean knows she can get away with a dodgy accent among nouveau riche. She doesn’t need to pass for British to the audience, for crying out loud.

University of Oregon (but fair point). OU is Oklahoma Univ.

Under no circumstances do I want mike pence to become president. But if trump resigns in disgrace, that disgrace will taint pence. If trump is impeached, it won’t happen until after 2018, in which case it’ll seem enough like partisan assassination of a duly elected president to sanctify a pence administration.

Asshole’s been running since September. He’s been notching “right-moderate” wins in disaster relief and gun control. Every -R vote in the Florida congress for those post-Parkland bills was an in-kind contribution to voldemort’s senate campaign.

“Forget it Ben, it’s Jawa-town.”

but...that avatar!

Yep, that’s what came to mind first.

I already consider it a success, since it’s given us Lost in La Mancha. Now the added bonus of that one line read here by Jonathan Pryce: “And you can look at the pictures.”

Even more importantly, Dems have to make the case that they care enough about the brown people to keep working on policies. Otherwise they’ll lose a voting bloc. Not to the other side, but to voter apathy. They might get lucky, though, because the optics of militarizing the fuck out of the border is going to alarm a lo…

I choose the public places I go to just so I can maximize the number of the faithful who might get swept up in a demonstration against my atheism. (Not that i can help it, living in the South.)

Looks just self-aware enough to want to be a satire of that mindset. But not more than that.

Yep. My thought was, “Did a descendant of TH’s The Revenant character get yanked from Generation Kill to do this wack-a-doo cameo?”

So pissed to find out that was an Apple HomeSphere ad at the end.

Wait, was it an “A” revised to “A-” 90 minutes later? Even still, it’s a rare thing, indeed.

Ding ding ding! This is exactly it. This is a gateway drug to inculcate the kids growing up in the 2010s to the feel-good joy of nostalgia in general. They see their parents get all warm and fuzzy, make a bond over some shiny entertainment, and are pre-marketed to when the retro schedule comes around to them in 2030.

“Fun Dad” Spielberg. His next is “Lego E.T.”
