Ugh...they tried that shit with the Emperor and Vader and Boba Fett and learning their backstories made them ALL weaker as villains. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Star Wars it’s STOP TELLING THE VILLAINS’ BACKSTORIES. No way is it better than what you imagine it is. LET THE PAST DIE.

This film made me agree with that.whatever snokes origin was would be disappointing, like palpatine being named sheev

Don’t let people know you still have a working VCR. When they move or clean out a storage space, they will drop off 50 VHS tapes at your house as “gift”.

I think Mystique might have involved a little more makeup than Gandalf’s makeup and wardrobe combined.

The Video Vortex, along with its much-hyped collection of rare VHS tapes, will open early next year.

Frederick Crane (son of Frasier & Lilith) was born in 1989. I sure he would be quite a character now.

Dwight would start the new series only appearing in cameos, having somehow gotten a Trump White House gig. Short-lived, of course.

Fraser’s son Frederick and Niles and Daphne’s son David as an alt-right blogger and a gay advice columnist (a la Dan Savage), respectively. They meet once a week for coffee at Cafe Nervosa.

Rainn Wilson: “OK, I accept!”

I legit think that a Frasier spinoff about Niles and Daphne’s family would be amazing. Their first kid (born in the series finale) would be the perfect age for teenage hijinks now.

Fuck yes, we are on pace for Frasier 2020 soon!

Didn’t The BBC employ a pedo for decades?

Well, it depends on the work, no? I don’t know how McKellan feels about, say, Magneto, but I think it’s been widely intimated that Jennifer Lawrence looked at coming back to do Mystique as a chore. And if I were an actor handed the sides for Gandalf from Jackson’s LOTR vs. Obi Wan from the Star Wars movies, it…

I swear it feels like half of DC/Marvel’s time is spent fixing what some past writer broke, and the other half is fucking with things to be “edgy”.

There was a time that was true, but I feel like these days, actors who sign onto these things realize they’re not merely playing silly roles where they spout nonsense words, but creating beloved worlds that connect and resonate through generations. Everyone involved in the PJ trilogy seemed to understand that were…

Right, but there’s a difference between “everyone could be special” and “only Skywalkers can be special”.

I’m real real tired already of these “Last Jedi says FUCK YOU to ____!!!” narratives.

They didn’t work on it together, but Abrams never gave Johnson direction on who Rey’s parents were, and independently they claim they had the same answer anyways.

I loved this reveal. Of all the gripes people have about The Last Jedi, this is the one I most disagree with. Honestly, how could anything else have been satisfying?

Ok, do we really need shit-stirring headlines acting like there’s some kind of war between Abrams and Johnson? Especially since they’re both on record as working on Rey’s backstory together.
