But that is not really what is going on here. SK has a country on its border which still considers itself at war with it, and constantly threatens mass destruction. SK is not huge and essentially needs everyone to put in some time to maintain a reasonable defense/deterrent. The way they do that is through mandatory…

Well he DID say “too many”, not all.

This is always sort of a dumb complaint. You made a song, people listen to and play the song. You can’t control any of that (as long as they are not selling your work of course) any more than you can control who looks at your art or who uses stuff you invent. And no one out there honestly says “They just played the…

Yeah... I don’t get the whole “They have a bunch of money, so of course they should have made this!” concept. I’m sure there are lots of projects they turn down, some get further down the road towards production than others. Their track record overall has been pretty good in the end.

Never too late. In any universe where Schmigadoon got 2 seasons, Galavant should have gotten 10. I was fine with Schmigadoon in general, but it was nowhere near the same level of characters or creativity.

Nothing FryCook said was actually all that unreasonable or really fit that cartoon.

People seem to forget that the people running the head hacking eventually wound up getting their heads hacked off themselves.

It has been a lot of years since I read the books, but if I recall, no one gave Harry a heads up because everyone believed James had made Sirius the secret keeper and that Sirius had betrayed him. Even Dumbledore found it hard to believe, but that is where the evidence pointed.  And Sirius went to prison believing…

I don’t understand why this is ANY sort of surprise. Delivery was never offered as some sort of charitable service, or as some sort of work program. It evolved to entice more sales to people who did not want to pick up themselves. As long as that was a net positive to the business, there it was.

Yep, one of my favorite more recent Christmas films. The whole thing feels original and has great characters.

Same. I was actually intrigued for about 2/3 of the film, and was caught off guard by a revelation around the middle. But by the third act I WAS getting bored however with “and now they fight off some more dinosaurs” and sort of fought the urge to fast forward. Could have been better, but better than I expected for…

Yeah, it would not be that hard to say “Hey, remember how we left things with Loki? Yeah, seems like he thwarted Kang there.” and just move on. No one is waiting for more Kang.

Yeah, they have had plenty of time to think on “if guilty, release press release on him being let go, and have 2 or 3 alternatives vetted out by then”. I am sure one of those is “who to simply recast” and others are “what character is the best fit to replace Kang and let us just forget that was the plan”.

It depends. I see Jackman’s being in Deadpool as more of fulfilling a long running joke that the fans will be into. If he hangs around in the MCU for other more serious films, then maybe you would have a point.

Good god that is EVERY movie. I used to bug my wife about it as she put them all on every night. Then she finally threw in the towel as well.

... small towns are hotbeds of resentment and bigotry. To give this story a true small down feeling, they should have trucks rolling coal and Trump flags and signs hanging outside half the houses.

I have grown up in California (definitely NOT the South) and from a family of cooks who made great cranberry sauce, and all of us STILL had a fondness for that canned sauce on the table. Those little can lines just show you where to slice it.

Thing is, it is not that Herbert did not write strong female characters. Many of the strongest and most powerful characters in the books are female. Chani just isn’t one of them. She is important to Paul, but not really the reader.

The simple fact is, like a lot of laws, we don’t have solid enforcement of the existing rules. How about, if you have X number of speeding offenses (3?) your license is gone for X years so you don’t kill someone. Get 2 DUI’s? The first one was too many already. More than that you lose your license for X years, or for…

So you nailed every one of my own thoughts on these. As you state, the only one of these I am excited for is the only one that people don’t really think of as a “Marvel movie”.
