Getting blow from Mon Mothma? I'm not surprised that 3PO was a cokehead, but Mon was his dealer?!? She seemed so wholesome.

I stopped watching around season 5. I gather Lorelei and Luke didn't ultimately end up together…

Oh i found it, and I vaguely remember it now. I remember the actual line from Finding Forrester, too. Still made me feel old.

I had to Google YTMND. I'm not hip. I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was.

Me, too. I didn't think the finale of Seinfeld was particularly funny. It's a two-parter, I believe, and neither episode was really that funny to me. But I did like the No Exit overtones and the circular nature of them starting to talk about some absurd thing, even while having just been sentenced to prison. That all…

Is the last line in Revenge of the Sith Vaderstein yelling "Nooooooooo" while Dr. Palpatine cackles or was there more after that? Cuz my brain had a fatal error at that point, and that line would seem to be a good candidate for the most disappointing last line in Star Wars.

Well there are memorable examples of disappointing series finales. Seinfeld and The Sopranos ("Don't stop—") both come to mind, though actually I'm a fan of both of those endings.

Marvel has a villain—or they used to, anyway—called Zzzax. He usually went up against the Hulk.

Whatever Bill Murray said at the end of Lost in Translation.

Is it every so often or all.the.time.!!! Which is it Matt?

No you're a self-appointed message board policeman. What's good for the goose…

And there's always the ONE person who goes up and down various threads trying to "zing" people for fake Internet points/upvotes/likes and you appear to be one of those people.

Eh. I was responding to a thread in which Atlas Shrugged was already being discussed, as was Rand's views; and as I write this there are 13 community grades and they're averaging an A-, so stranger things are happening.

Again, it was a joke. I saw Beals's face with that click bait title for the umpteenth time this week and I said something about it using the message I was replying to as a segue. I'm not actually asking for help in getting rid of ads or even bitching about ads at all… the point was the absurdity of using a picture of…

Exactly. I don't think most of them have read it, and I don't blame them—it's a slog; but if the one idea they want to take away from it is "selfishness is a virtue" then there are all sorts of less problematic (for them) works that they could appropriate.

It doesn't bother me so much that they don't agree 100% with what she believed so much as they kind of willfully ignore some of the central-most ideas. Along with the pro-choice stance (which makes sense given her overall skepticism towards government coercion), she was deeply skeptical of religion and championed…

Seems fitting. Most conservatives who rally behind objectivism have no problem ignoring much of what Rand said and did otherwise. Like how she was very vocally pro-choice. Or how, after a two-packs-a-day smoking habit left her riddled with cancer, she took advantage of the same entitlement programs and other…

Yeah I thought I might be falling prey to presentism by thinking the same thing, but then I went back and watched that performance of "Seasons" and how Letterman and the audience (and then people on social media) reacted, and I think it's a legit response. That was a performance for the ages.

Zevon's final episode-long appearance should have definitely been on such a list, and even really recent performances would challenge some of the ones that made the cut. Future Islands' performance of "Seasons" from last year was not only fantastic, it noticeably blew away Letterman, and it was cited again and again…

I was more just going for a joke about how silly using her photo is, but thanks for the tip.
