Yeah they basically spent two full episodes recapping Season 4, and then another few episodes setting up new plots. It really only feels like the classic show at the end of the season, and now we have to wait a few months.

The wealthy actually often use credit cards rather than debit cards for everyday purchases, because they can just pay off the balance in full every month and accrue reward points and frequent flier miles. The very rich are often surprisingly thrifty.

It’s the rest of us plebs who try to sparingly use credit cards…

Wasn’t Bradley Cooper attached to star in this at one point? I always thought that was one of the worst casting ideas I’ve ever heard.

So much for the tolerant left!

Up until the Darth Maul reveal, the Disney movies had treated the prequels as not-quite-canon fan fiction. There were a few nods here and there (Mustafar and Jimmy Smits appearing in Rogue One, Kylo Ren’s throwaway line about a clone army), but otherwise there were almost no references to any characters, planets and…

Yeah I’ve got this funny mental imbalance where I’m intolerant and judgmental of fascists and white supremacists who want to keep my black wife and children as second class citizens.

He’s black tho.

I hated everything W did for eight years and yet I’ve give up my first born child to have him back to serve the remainder of Trump’s term. The Plame scandal was appalling by the standards of the time, but it now seems so quaint I can’t even bring myself to care.

I did show them. My grandmother and great-aunt were really upset when they found out they were banned from my daughter’s birthday party. It was the only way I could punish them for their behavior and I’m glad I did it.

You’re letting your parents off the hook too easily! They all knew what they were voting for and did it anyway. I’ve cut off every family member who admits to voting for Trump, which thankfully did not include anyone in my immediate family.

The 2016 election is going to loom differently in the American psyche than most other recent elections. Nobody was holding a grudge against Bush/Quayle voters for years on end. But I’m personally so infuriated by the actions of 49% of the electorate that I just won’t be able to countenance the slightest bit of…

I’m not one to tell Netflix how to spend its money, but I don’t think it helps them much to spend $125 million on any one movie. They’re better served making lots of content for much cheaper and seeing what audiences stick around for. Most people only watch all but their very favorite movies once, so they have no…

I never saw Khan until I was pushing 30 and I enjoyed the JJ Abrams Trek reboot, so I decided to see what all this Khan talk had been about for decades. I had fun with the movie, but found it surprisingly low rent compared to other special effects movies from the era, and the ending in particular assumed way too much…

Because both accounts just sounded like something Hank Kingsley would do.

I always thought the “transface” criticism was unfair because it would have been impossible to find a trans actor in their 60's who had not medically transitioned at all. Only a cis actor could have portrayed Maura in the flashbacks and in the early present of the series timeline. So the “transface” criticism is…

This column really has slim pickings for most of the 90’s. Hard to imagine that in 12 short weeks, we’re going to be debating whether The Dark Knight or Iron Man is really the most important superhero movie of 2008.

Even if everyone was paid, including the editors and other post people whose work would have been pre-empted by shitcanning the season, it still wouldn’t have been fair for the hundreds of people who worked on the show to have their work thrown in the digital dumpster just because one cast member didn’t behave himself…

Well, it matters that the actor is 57, so the character is therefore around 57. Mark Hamill’s age does give us a rough idea of how old Luke Skywalker is supposed to be — along with the ages of the rest of the original cast, we can surmise that The Force Awakens takes place about 30 years after Return of the Jedi…

I disagree — audiences only seem interested in new Star Wars content that either leads into or rearranges the core elements of A New Hope. Audiences don’t seem to want something new. Maybe when one of these things makes less than a billion dollars they’ll make The Third Man but on Coruscant a thousand years before…
