LOL, what story? I’ve been reading all these recaps, and I don’t see much story being told. In seven episodes, two groups have skirmished a bit, to no real result, and traveled to another galaxy, where the bad guys have spent two episodes loading cargo. Also, the main character had a very long, weird dream, which…

The real burning question is, is this showing getting watched (and earning subscriptions) at anywhere near a reasonable rate? Or is it a big hit in anywhere near the same way that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was a $383m worldwide smash? Or is it a roaring success like Willow S1, which was removed from D+…

Look, I’m certainly no fan of Barsanti, but even he seems to appreciate that just because people are pew-pew!-ing and swoosh-swoosh!-ing at each other doesn’t mean the story is meaningfully advancing.

Citation?

- Before Sunset/Before Midnight are arguable the GOAT. (On the documentary side, there’s the Up series.)

What about Interstellar, an extraordinarily stupid movie that thinks it’s smart? IANAP (I Am Not a Physicist), but, if a planet is close enough to a black hole that an hour on the surface equals six years or whatever in regular space, then A) that same time dilation would apply to being anywhere near the black hole,not…

Before the TWS reveal, the writers faced an extremely difficult task: come up with threats significant enough to put the team in credible danger, but not significant enough to justify bringing in Cap and the rest of the SHIELD cavalry. (And make the threats far-out enough to justify SHIELD’s involvement, but not so…

Dang it, I meant 32.

“No; unlike most Imperial commanders he used it COMPETENTLY.”

But did he do anything clever in the cartoon, or did he just use the Empire’s overwhelming firepower as pretty much anyone else would have?

^ And modern-day Spiner, not TNG-era Spiner, at that!

So Thrawn finally appears in live action, 22 years after his introduction in print, five years after his last cartoon appearance, and nearly three years after he was teased in The Mandalorian, and, in a 50-minute episode, the only thing this terrifying strategic genius (who never did anything particularly clever in…

IANAL, but it seems to me there’s a clear and obvious difference between customers specifically requesting female staff, one request at a time (especially in circumstances where the staff is expected to touch the customer), and any given company offering to preemptively discriminate on said customers’ behalf.

It sounds like the point of the season is to produce a season-long prelude to Thrawn’s return to the galaxy, which will then play out over the next season, Mando S4, and the Filoni movie.

Perhaps the real foolishness is to not realize that anyone can write a book, but very few/zero male actors could have played, say, Erin Brokovich, and very few women actors could have played, say, Johnny Cash.

I don’t know if we *should* have age-specific categories, but I don’t think it'd be an injustice or irrational if we did. Age and gender are both very real distinctions, and they do limit casting, so it's really just a question of how many awards an organization wants to give.

The simple and obvious fact of the matter is that male actors don’t compete with female actors for female roles, and female actors don’t compete with male actors for male roles. (Well, they might compete for “Unnamed Nurse” or “Judge Smith,” but those roles don’t lead to awards nominations.) Ergo, different categories…

I’m starting to think Kutcher’s role in Vengeance was pretty close to the real him (albeit much more articulate, probably).

The point is, don't assault people, sexually or otherwise.
