I genuinely appreciate the answer.  I hope you guys stick around for the long run.  

I think people who enjoyed TLJ just tend to be people who are a little more open to surprise and not being indulged. But people don’t like acknowledging that they’re basically having hissy fits about things, so none of them are gonna be like, “Yeah, Teddy, you’re right.”

In Empire Han, Leia and Chewy spend half the movie hiding on a rock. So it is nitpicking.

Can someone explain to me what Univision’s plan is for these sites after they let go the majority of people who produce articles? Is it just going to be a never ending series of “This Olympic Athletes Instagram is Breaking the Internet” and “Type Your Name in This Search Engine and Wait Nine Seconds--You Won’t Believe…

Goddamnit, my picture didn’t post so my comment looks stupid.

You seem to be projecting a lot of stuff onto folks that may not always be there.  Be well!  

And I’ll do it all while wearing this fabulous yarmulke bedazzled with a picture of Chairman Mao.  

I think it’s entirely defensible to like the movie because you thought it subverted expectations in interesting ways. I happen to think that it subverted expectations in not terribly interesting ways, and the story it told wasn’t very compelling (party as a result, and partly on its own).

That’s fair, but subverting expectations isn’t the same thing as “good,” either.  Tearing down a mythology is all well and good if you replace it with something as good or better, but tearing it down for the sake of it sometimes doesn’t lead to great stories.  

I dunno about that. I think plenty of people just didn’t think it was a very well structured or compelling story. Is it nitpicking to think that a slow-speed chase interrupted by a wholly unnecessary side plot that went nowhere didn’t make for a great movie? Leaving aside whether the character choices were “right” or…

C’mon, let’s be fair here.  There’s no reason to believe he’s racist--maybe he just really hates women.  

Steve Gutenberg has always had complicated opinions about Roe.

One less than it has.  

Et tu, Mahoney?  

It’s always puzzling when someone takes the time to have a strong opinion and leave a comment about something, but doesn’t bother to actually click a link provided right there in the article that explains at least some of the details they’re speculating about.

Milo Yiannopoulos as a callous British abortion doctor described in the script as “an Anglo-Jew from India, with an unusual habit of an awkward giggle at the end of every sentence.”

You should point that out to the guy who said “Buyouts are essentially people getting laid off with negotiated severance packages.” 

These are the people who have won and are in power at nearly every level of government and are reshaping our country in ways that seemed off the table just a few years ago. Goddamnit.  

I’m not sure if you think this contradicts what I said?

If your employer offers you a buyout with the understanding that if you don’t take it you’ll be laid off soon, is there any real difference?
