Anyone else see the Mandalorian pass the Gonk droid and expected him to get a reload? I was dissapointed he did not even get a single blaster charge.

Semenya is indeed a unique example, I agree. I am curious, though, wouldn’t there be a legitimate reason (i.e. to create a level playing field) to write rules that state that xx athletes and xy athletes should compete in their own categories? This would not cover Semenya, and such cases could be considered…

Well, if you are going to go there, I don’t want chasing; I want a full on torching and BBQ and full-feeding all of the stray rats of NYC.

Did I miss something, or does nothing about Ramirez line up with anything? Was he a doppleganger, in prison AND wake-die-repeating at Redwood? Did he slip away in between deaths to pop up at the Cortez every Halloween since 2013 (when he died in prison irl of cancer. b/c you can’t kill Satan’s homey with a knife, but…

Sometime in the future, I think Cult will be seen as the best TV (and possibly film) metaphor for our current political moment.

I thought Asylum, in my opinion, jumped all over the most of all the series. Nazis, serial killers, monsters, insane asylum, AND ALIENS? Coven was much tighter, as everything was pretty clearly tied to witchcraft folklore.

Freak Show is easily in my top 3. The themes of alienation and discrimination (in the 50s for good measure) worked well for me.

AHS, and horror in general, is never really about the horror - not if done properly. Horror films, at their best, are always about a larger theme or social critique. AHS is definately a mixed batch, and this season was primarily about the nature of memory and the hold that the past can have on us. Granted, this season…

This is an interesting point. How can Murphy et. al. borrow deeply and heavily from precisely one-half of Christianity and completely ignore the corresponding half? Did he only watch oddly edited versions of every Omen and Exorcist film?

Wow. Now I have to rewatch. I thought of Speed, but such a thing would be so Bob’s. Good catch.

Never even thought of this as a regional thing. Grew up in Arizona, and always loved this.

Is that how the French do it?

who you might not recognize unless he’s holding his arm up in a way that would signal he’s waiting to catch a frisbee on the quad

This is the same genius who said on Daddy’s Propaganda Machine (tm), “When you’re the father, and your son’s entire career is dependent on that, they own you.” He apparently thought he was talking about Hunter Biden. 

Ashley should be front row at THAT book signing.

All the stars:

Just imagine the sacrifice it took to be excused from the draft because of money bone spurs, and having to endure the heartache of not having died in a pointless folly of American Cold War Policy.

The Trumps are only reflective of a larger sub-culture. How many times do you hear, “Christians are being so persecuted in this country. People are being forced to do things against their beliefs!” Those things being, you know, doing the fucking job you were hired to do like issue public documents, bake cakes, and…

He had to...PICK UP HIS OWN ROOM! The horror...

This. Oh so much this. I am convinced that alot of these idiots participate in ths racket for the money. Conservative outrage pays well. Fox News get this, and now they have a subscription service, Fox Nation, to rake in more money. “Don’t get enough racist and pro-Trump paranoid ranting on Fox News? Pay even more…
