"Hey hey, listen up everybody! I was such a cool and reckless badass in high school!"

Nope. "Tolerance" means standing up for beliefs that have been historically marginalized.

That's why I used Hakeem as a comparison. Granted, the the first of the Rockets' 2 championships was in '94 was when Jordan "retired," but still, the Dream was the only NBA superstar (not on the Bulls) who won a championship while MJ was in his prime.

But Karl Malone never won a championship. At least Cristiano Ronaldo's won a CL title, along with several league titles.

Watch out! This is actually Robin Thicke in disguise.

Pshaw! Terry Crews... What a mangina! Obviously not a manly man like me.

By that logic, LeBron James should have 5+ titles by now since he's been playing in the putrid Eastern Conference as well.

Oh god no. I think Hakeem is a stand-up guy. Didn't mean to imply that he was a douchebag.

Lionel Messi: Michael Jordan :: Cristiano Ronaldo: Hakeem Olajuwon

I find John Oliver very informative, but he is not funny. He seems more like a pundit who's (occasionally) funny, rather than a comedian who plays a pundit.

I liked how the original lightsabers looked more like katanas. We have this (probably erroneous) idea that the samurai were more graceful and agile than your typical Crusader knight, and the Jedi seemed to be more of the former than the latter.

Lando was nowhere near the central figure in the Star Wars movies. In contrast, "Black Stormtrooper" is the first living thing you see in the Episode VII trailer, which strongly implies that he may be a protagonist.

"Actually, it's about ethics in casting and preserving canon. It's totally not about me and other straight white guys being upset that we no longer have a monopoly on being seen as heroic, cool, and interesting enough to be at the center of a story." - A racist

Having your "group" portrayed in a positive and idealized light is a great privilege that's mainly been afforded to straight white dudes for most of American history. Many women and minorities, due to the culture we are raised in and media we're fed, grow up thinking that straight white men are the default role models

Key takeaways...

I think it's fine to have some general ideas of what you want for a day as important as your wedding. I daydream about far less important things, such as what I would do if I ever travelled to Eastern Europe. I don't plan out an imaginary detail-filled itinerary, though.

I love the idea of these little punks thinking they're so tough because they use words like "c*nt" and "gang rape," but when their mad-as-hell mommies come storming through the door, they probably fall on their knees and offer their asses on a plate.

Racist Fanboy: "OMG, why is there a BLACK guy in the trailer? This is such PC bullshit! J.J. is just catering to the SJW crowd!"

I'm sure there'll be a "gritty reboot" soon in about 10 years that'll satisfy your jaded middle-aged self, haha.

Star Wars was always meant for young teens. Sorry that you're old now, but the franchise isn't obligated to cater to you as you age.
