An album of his from the early 90s, maybe the Jurassic Park one, that I had on cassette, has a spirited medley including “Losing My Religion” which has some great start-stop moments in its section of the Polka.

To hop on the cynics’ train, the Halftime Show wins either way, because people will be watching either out of curiosity or fueled by anger.

I guess that voices would lessen the creepiness, but the film doesn’t really do much with the Death Troopers. I didn’t personally infer anything from their chirping communication, other than maybe that their radio channel was private.

“Dear AV Club, there are not enough pictures of the aforementioned space convertible. Please add three. I am not a crackpot.”

The director matters a great deal in this case. I wouldn’t think much of the premise alone, but because it’s PTA, I’m legitimately getting excited to see all of those sumptuous insert shots.

Was there an option for two of these such films, and no Trump presidency? Because that would be an easy choice.

The Star Wars prequels are a tricky thing to use as an example, since fan expectations were not the biggest thing working against their success.

It’s not necessary, no. I just don’t think that the new approach is all about product, is what I’m saying.

I’d say that Disney is actually focusing a bit more on films than we might be giving it credit for. If it were pure product, would they not be introducing tons of new spaceships and other bits of toy-fodder, a strategy which has worked marvelously well in the past?

That’s your answer to everything!

Just 20 years since Mmmbop.

With the disclaimer that I feel bad about finding this source material so entertaining, this story is odd enough in truth that a loose-with-facts drama doesn’t seem like much of a stretch.

Huh, that’s interesting. I wasn’t a fan yet at that point, so I don’t recall all of that.

I agree that “pulpy” and “questionable” are things Star Wars titles should aspire to; my meaning was more that there’s not much to criticize about this title for this film in particular (it’s not a typical Star Wars film in scope) and that it was probably unavoidable, so disappointment isn’t something that I feel,…

Did the Pumpkins ever have a song called “Splinter”?

I don’t consider it a poser-move to pick Mellon Collie.

They played “Cherub Rock” on SNL. It’s a great song but are you guys saying that it’s a deep or underrated track?

I’m slightly confused about the the tone of this writeup, because I think that it’s making fun of Twitter/Star Wars fans, but I’m not entirely sure on that.

A lot of people are passionate about what legitimately constitutes being punk.

I do. I’ve never watched it, but the poster made an impression on me.
