Nicholson’s a far better Joker in my opinion in terms of actually playing the character as he’s been depicted in 70+ years worth of comic books, Ledger gives a better performance, but Nicholson plays a better Joker. 

And that really it. There no objectively “best” drummer based on ability, it all about style and who best fit for band. Me maintain that Meg White might be lousy drummer by any standard of proficiency, but she best possible drummer for White Stripes, because what that band need is drummer who can play simple beats and…

In fairness, Ramones were fucking fantastic musicians, within narrow realm of kind of music they played. There might not be tighter, more consistent live band in history of rock music. And they were great at playing simple, energetic songs, which is all they needed to be great at.

Mahoney’s passing is big news in Chicago. He was one of the original members of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company.

I think Spider-Man 3 is underrated, but not the best of the Raimi films.

The depressing growth rate that is better than Obama’s best year.

Nobody is saying that once women assert themselves then men are free from caring about their partners. But once women feel comfortable asserting themselves, why would you continue to rely on a communication method that, by its very nature, is ambiguous and open to interpretation? Asserting yourself doesn’t just mean…

He would be so easy to manipulate if Chuck and Nancy (I can’t remember whatever ridiculous nicknames he gave them) just got his cell number and called him five, ten, fifteen times a day and pumped his ego hard before selling him on single payer healthcare, raising the minimum wage, disbanding the Republican party,…

I appreciate the demonstration of how completely divorced from reality the typical Republican is. But now that we’ve all had a good chuckle, you can drop it. It’s getting a bit ludicrous now, saying that Carter (who put SALT II into place), Clinton (START II) and Obama (New START) were greater threats to start a…

I’m very impressed you can fuck your sister and type words on a c.o.m.p.u.t.e.r at the same time.

The worst thing you can say about Obama is “community organizer”. How the fuck can you compare any of those three to the conservative turds this country keeps electing?

How hard it be to just add another 15 minute scene where Snoke takes Rey prisoner and while she’s in jail another prisoner relays Snoke’s backstory to her, at the conclusion of which Rey says “Thank you, Snoke’s backstory is the first and foremost thing on my mind right now.”

Given the way some of these movies have a course correction after the vocal minority complains loud enough (see any movie after Man of Steel in which we get a lengthy explanations as to why we don’t have to worry about this superhero fight giving a civilian so much as a paper cut) I’m worried that the next film will…

You and I have deep philosphical difference about what is and isn’t important and what is and isn’t interesting.

Honestly, the fanatics are wrong.

The problem is that the first film hinted at Snoke’s past and the connection between him, the Force, the emperor, etc.

Then you and I have some deep philosophical disagreements about what is and isn’t interesting.

We don’t. We don’t need to know anything more about Snoke than we already do. Same with Rey’s parents. They are not important.

I find that certain Star Wars fans value lore, details, backstory, and interconnectedness more than they value other dramatic concerns.

There are people who want all nine movies to fit…

You’re saying “I’ll eat this tasteless food now in hopes that someone will give me something good to chase behind it later on.” Got it.

There will be other media that will explain how Snoke took control of the First Order for those who feel like they want to know.

But in the context of the sequel trilogy, that information is not important. Snoke was a bland character. Which is why destroying and disposing of him is a great choice. It negates any need…
