“Lucasfilm sources have confirmed that, per Rian Johnson’s suggestion, Lando will now be an incarcerated child molester. He will appear during one scene, in which DJ will strangle him as he sleeps.”

And this is premium Barsanti right here. You’d think if your job consisted only of ripping off other people’s work and reposting it that a modicum of reading comprehension would be a basic requirement. At no point in the stuff he links to does Sollima say that it was “his decision” to exclude Blunt, much less does he “…

Thats true and obvious, but Barsanti is going to Barsanti.  

Blunt is a brilliant actress and a welcome addition to pretty much anything but this explanation seems reasonable to me.  How would you include her character without having her either completely abandon any remaining morality or making her the antagonist?  

It makes perfect sense to not bring her back. I mean, no one liked Sicario 2, but her arc was pretty much done. It’s not like she’s going to go “hey, guy who I accidentally helped kill some innocent children, you want to partner up again?”, she doesn’t need to always be there.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

To me, one of the issues is Rey. If Luke is the cynical, old man, then Rey is the idealistic activist...continuing the same arc that Luke experienced as a young man. What is different about Rey to give us hope that she won’t fall victim to the same naivety that apparently undid Luke? An interesting interplay between…

The very first trailer I saw left little doubt that this was going to be a brainless, “look at this cool shot” action movie. The first film was all about moral ambiguities, how far the good guys should be willing to go to get the bad guys. This one looked at subtle as a 12-car pile-up. Though I loved the original so…

At this point, just replace “LGBT” with “ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ+”, and you’ll be fine.

To start, there’s already huge chasm between L and G. And the chasms get bigger and bigger the further you go down. Its not a community, its something article writers can wield.

Also, someone please take me out of the greys, I’ve been commenting here for years and this is bogus, thank you very much in advance. :)

“Basically, if this report is true, Star Wars is simply letting the past die and killing it, if they have to.”

Mick is underused? The genius Dr. Ray Palmer would like a word...

How about no more children fighting, no children given crime-fighting outfits, etc.? Child soldiering is no joke. KThx.

“there are a couple others eager to take the reigns.”

Because, AV Club articles notwithstanding, Kylo Ren is dull as a dishrag?

If you are talking about the “manbabies” only, then yes, diversity seems to be the main problem that they had with TLJ (and the other new Star Wars films).

Or how about we don’t attack anybody? For fuck’s sake, I hated the movie quite a lot, didn’t really like Rian Johnson’s attitude in some bits I’ve seen, but I don’t think we need to start stalking him online and yelling at him. He made a bad movie (in my opinion) and I dislike the direction a series I liked is moving…

So have there been any allegations that Clinton in any way pressured Lewinski? There’s a whole lot of implying it with the suggestion that this is a #MeToo issue, but it all has a very “when did you stop beating your wife” smell to it. Additionally, the thing he was charged with was lying under oath, so it’s easy to…

“Keiynan Lonsdale’s Kid Flash has always been tragically underused” - stop right there, because, no, he hasn’t. He’s a middling actor (judging from this role) who brought very little new to The Flash either personality-wise (oh, wow, another quippy, carefree genius youngun) or powers-wise, once he actually got them.…
