What I’ve found that is a bit interesting, is the motivation aside from the hoax. He did it in part as a joke, but you also look at his place in life - he had graduated high school but struggled with several false starts at college and by 30 had flunked out and felt like his life had hit a dead end, and he says he’d…

“King Elrond” I don’t think Elrond is really a king of anything.

The last one also included Jerod Carmichael, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Quentin Tarantino. Sounds like they might have a regular game night!

I’m a Star Wars fan who would be excited to talk about The Bad Batch. I didn’t know there was more negativity towards this show, people I interact with seem to like it. :( 

Hey HEY!!

Yeah, it is really starting to feel that way to me too. We’re 2-2 on recent MCU movies featuring TV actors in their role. (And even before that, there was also James D’Arcy as Jarvis in Endgame - it’s like they’re seeding them in.)

His list also included LGBTQ+ people and minority activists (like Paul Robeson, who he deemed “anti-white”).

Yes, the first movie literally opens with him having already finished his manuscript for the book. That was the most disappointing part to me at the time.

He also dated a 19-year-old for a while while he was 32.

It’s because the showrunner is Julian Fellowes, a Tory peer in the House of Lords. So this is an openly conservative take on the Gilded Age. Which is somewhat maddening, because class-based oppression is kind of the whole story of the era. A show like this would kind of need to be Succession like to be any good.

I feel like unfortunately the only country with those kind of balls would be China, and I don’t think they care too much about what goes on in other countries (outside of their B+R thing), and if they did the USA would never take it seriously, and the media would never portray it in a positive light.

Bobbi had also been an agent for quite some time by her first appearance though. For example, she was already an agent before her divorce with Lance (and I think before they were even married).

No one is going to comment that this seems to be like the original Hamlet story? The main character is named Amleth, it’s set in Denmark, and he wants to “save” his mother from the man who murdered his father (probably because she’s married to him).

Technically, he’s only a capitalist if he owns capital and profits from it.

The weirdest thing in this movie is Desi Arnaz claiming that the communists took his family’s land, imprisoned his father, drove his family out of the country... in a movie set in 1952, 7 years before the Cuban Revolution.

Arnaz’s family was fleeing the 1933 Sergeants’ Revolt, not communists.

She’s also homophobic and transphobic, but that tends to get glossed over for the antivax stuff. She had followed some “pray away the gay” accounts on Twitter and liked some eyebrow raising tweets. She was never as public about that though, and the receipts are kind of gone since she nuked her Twitter.

That’s what I think “remake” means in this sense, as opposed to remaster. It sounds like this is going to be more in line with Final Fantasy VII Remake or Resident Evil 2 than the Shadow of the Colossus remake (although that game is also excellent).

Bad Batch is largely built off prequel-era worldbuilding, I would argue.

What I’ve always said is that they might never reach Empire, but they consistently turn out Jedi. 

They’re addressing the study thing too actually! A new regulation for schools bans exams in grades 1 and 2, allows for final exams only until grade 6, and midterms and final exams thereafter. It also says that tests cannot be given weekly. There are also new strict regulations for private tutors, and regulations on…
