And he will turn on his people too. When they don’t rise up and save his presidency with a violent revolt, he will blame them for not supporting him enough.

MAGAworld has no particular interest in governing the country; they want to dominate the country’s culture in a way that’s not possible for a demographic that’s in irreversible economic and population decline.

Though, I do agree with you, the inability for Hollywood (or us fans) to let go and leave things in the past is why recasting is likely inevitable. De-aging CGI will be used in spurts, but for a full adventure, Solo already set the annoying precedent for the franchise, so I won’t be surprised when a casting call for…

Off-topic but it needs to be said: AVClub, most of your articles are now totally unreadable on phones thanks to your stupid full-page ads that will not go away. I’ve had to resort to my laptop just to be able to point this out.

WHY DID YOU SMELL THAT NAME

“Here’s one piece of information nobody knows: The movie is insane and so epic and is probably rated R — that’s one thing I think will happen, that it will be an R-rated version, for sure,”

I agree the “face scan not as a security measure to make sure you’re an imperial/who you say you are, but instead just to make sure you’re not an outlaw” is inherently dumb.

I think this is the key thing a lot of the discourse around this film tends to forget — it’s a kid’s film. Of course I, a cynical twenty-something who wasn’t that into Harry Potter to begin with, wasn’t particularly engaged with the film and can see all the flaws and joins and Chris Columbusness of it all. I’m not in…

Christopher Nolan is getting a lot of hate for his choice words, but I’m sure plenty of directors, producers, and actors are glad there’s someone (and someone with a proven track record in Hollywood) saying what they are thinking.

It also doesn’t help that Padme is an elected queen at that age- like, what?! Why even say that? Make her a real queen, shit make her queen of Alderaan and related to the Organas somehow. 

It says something that I’m in my 50s and I know who Harry Styles is, but I don’t have any clue what a Candace Owens or a Ben Shapiro are. And it appears I should be happy about that.

And from your comment I can tell you didn’t learn any more from 2016 than any of the reporter anthropologists mentioned in this review. The Democrats completely and utterly ignored swaths of the country that had previously voted their way due to organized labor support. Supposed white supremacists in Ohio and Michigan …

It wasn’t in the blue cities where a UN delegation found 3rd world levels of poverty.  It was in dumb fuck red Alabama.

I grew up in the Ozarks and this makes me weirdly defensive of the term ‘hillbilly.’ Ohio, north of Cincinatti? You’re too flat! You can’t be a hillbilly on flatland you’re just white trash.

The show has a very thin spine that “justifies” his wandering. But, yeah, I just wish the show actually tried harder.

The worst part is how *everyone* deserves love. It would be nice if they stopped hitting us while they were looking for it...

Don’t care. At least the reboot told jokes.

Yeah I agree with the counterpoint. No fucking for Trump voters.

However, it would be disheartening to believe that every single last one of the people who voted for Trump is a shitty person because *gasp* that would be a frighteningly high percentage of all Americans that are shitty and ‘deplorable’.
