Spider-Man: Homecoming also hasn't yet opened in China.

Y'all are nuts haters; this song is awesome. I mean, legitimately, genuinely excellent. In my opinion. :)

"We need to find a way to translate this [business strategy] into an emotional concept."

"A London retirement home for actors"?! Sounds to me like there's a movie there! Or have I already seen it? With old folks putting on a production of Peter Pan? No, wait, that was an arc on Glee, I think.

As a movie, IIRC, it's tolerable to okay. Its ambivalence about the 21st century Wall Street culture, in comparison to the condemnatory spirit of the original, was simultaneously a huge missed opportunity and kind of an interesting twist - but ultimately the whole thing is meaningless. It's probably most poignant now…

And how robust were those states' economies prior to then, compared with the rest of the US?

With the AC cranked all the way up, yeah. Which wasn't widely developed and distributed until around the time of WW2.

Define "winning". The CSA securing independence and peace with the rest of the Union, at least in the short run, was an entirely plausible outcome for much of the war.

No, it supposes that this region - a forbiddingly hot and humid region for most of the year, with limited natural resources and coastal ports - could be on an upswing, with the rest of the US in decline. Europe isn't even mentioned in the article. Reading comprehension you troubles having?

Hey, be fair! The Dakotas and Nebraska are pretty damn useless, too.

I'm not even saying those states are shitty per se. But they're a fairly small area, with no hugely significant natural resources that I know of, and a fairly limited coastline. Even if one posited a social utopia there, I just don't see them wildly prospering compared to the rest of the US. If they'd been given the…

Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, on a "global upswing", while the other 47 states (or how ever many they wind up with) are "in decline"? Uh… what?

Obergruppenführer John Smith is plagued by memories of his participation in the Holocaust - it's pretty much overtly discussed in that episode where his old war buddy talks about the horrible things they did, and Smith insists that, as painful as it all was, it left behind "a better world." The show doesn't hit one…

No, but the first season got a TV Review, IIRC.

We're missing Season Three reviews for Bloodline, but getting this? Please at least tell us The Last Ship will be getting reviews when it starts back up again in a few weeks!

The director of Zero Dark Thirty, a 90-minute grab bag of barely connected scenes followed by a tacked-on real-life ending that happened well into pre-production, made a "scattershot" film? *insert falling monocle joke here*

And some said the perfectly okay Spider-Man: Homecoming poster was an affront to good taste?!

"Hey, nerds! Are you frustrated by Agents of SHIELD sharing continuity with the MCU, but never being even slightly referenced by the movies? Well, have we got a treat for you - all the disadvantages of a show built around the universe's C-list characters, with not even a vague hope of a cameo from any of the movie…

I thought this universe's Dick Grayson was dead?

Yeah, what's the point of hiring a DJ instead of asking a friend to watch an iPod if she can't be bothered to make some judicious personal edits of overlong yet beloved standards?
