The Empire is working with me on the Vibranium Plan!

Agreed. I thought the background for his character in TFA was easily the most original and compelling, and Boyega brought energy and charm to that character. And then instead of being about something new Star Wars was just about the same two families of people it had always been about, which I should’ve seen coming…

Something had to give. If they’d given more time to satisfyingly develop Finn’s arc, there’d be less time to resolve that of the dude who’d been dead for two films and was only resurrected due to Abrams’ bullshit whims. If a gun doesn’t even exist in the first two films of the trilogy, it has to go off by the third. …

So would In the Lake of the Woods.

“Going After Caccaiato” would make a better movie. 

I love this book, but so much of its power is in the prose and internal dialogue of the characters, and I really have doubts that it can be effectively translated to the screen. But I am excited at the prospect of them showing the fantasy sequence at the end of “On The Rainy River.”

Spoken like someone who's never been discriminated against in their life. Stay the course master race, stay the course.

Y’know, I want to say fuck Trey Parker. He’s played a major role in promoting brainless ‘fuck everything’ nihilism to this country for 23 years. South Park had been part of the ‘hip ironic bigotry’ wave at the start of the millennium. Comics thought they could shame bigots by mirroring their beliefs back at them. All…

Seems unnecessarily harsh. Guy says reshoots were a nightmare, dealing with “blowups, threats, coercion, taunting, unsafe work conditions, belittling, and gaslighting.” I agree that he hasn’t proven his case that Whedon was that kind of jerk beyond a reasonable doubt, but I also think there isn’t enough evidence to…

Watch real cinema rather than a theme park ride and they both lose!

There are enough allegations piling up that I think it’s pretty safe to say that he’s almost certainly at least a dick. Between Fisher, his stunt coordinator (Jeff Pruitt), a stunt double (Sophia Crawford), Charisma Carpenter, and his ex-wife (Kai Cole), there’s a pretty clear picture emerging of a petty, vindictive…

The irony is that, considering that he’s a follower of Objectivism, his political views likely lean center-right. Hell, the Lincoln Project is made up of a bunch of Bush-era Republicans who are voicing support for Biden so that they can grift money from naive Democrats. And even Ayn Rand spent the last years of her…

I’d say that, in that narrative, it was Bush. The Republicans. The “real men” who “have the guts” to go bomb the “assholes” in order to protect the “pussies”. Basically, the world-scale vigilante (anti)heroes, who may be brutal and, well, dick-ish, but “get the job done”, collateral damage or not. Our action movies…

Not sure, but it may be a reference to the South Park movies which, for all its america fuck yeah irony, still explicitly pushed that idea of “dicks” as a necessary evil to protect “pussies” against “assholes”. 

I cannot emphasize enough that Parker and Stone, who endorsed George W Bush and who were unironic cheerleaders for the “war on terror” can, should and indeed must go fuck themselves.

i quit facebook this year but i’ve seen them posted in earnest. never underestimate how much people want to believe what they see.

Really? I’m already using it to replace myself in Zoom meetings. Granted, I still have to be there to provide the movement and audio, but at least my heart’s in the wrong place!

People who watch Fox News also watch South Park, and they are the ones who need to learn about computer stuff the most. I love this idea.

Donald Trump. Haven’t you been paying attention?

And most of these questions weren’t that hard. They weren’t exactly softballs, but they were mainly asking for elaborations on his own policies. Any remotely competent politician would have seen these coming and had some sort of answer prepared. Biden has been asked questions like this, and he at least has an answer…
