It was a genuinely interesting twist that challenged Rey’s character. She put a lot of stock in the idea that her parents were somebody special, so to have that shattered is dramatically interesting in the same way that Luke discovering that his father is not as virtuous as he thought he was is. It also had the nice…

It’s pretty clear the movie was thrown together at the last second after Trevorrow was fired. “It was a last minute decision that we didn’t think about the implications of,” could have been the marketing tagline for the whole movie. The strange thing is that I think Abrahams probably had this planned to some degree…

Honestly, making Rey related to Palpatine at all robs her of her agency as a character.

I Have No Pullstring and I Must Scream

Eh, naturalism is a form of stylization like any other. Nothing about an Apatow movie is realistic, even if they’re truthful and funny. It’s like saying that I see my penis multiple times a day, so a movie that captures real life should include regular shots of a penises. That would improve some movies, but it’s not…

Do we really deserve to be fucked? All of us? I didn’t vote for the orange shit stain in the white house and I’ve been following nearly every protocol extensively to limit my potential exposure. I sacrificed a relationship because of this.

Religion is basically a truth serum for the soul. That you follow it says nothing about your character. How you interpret it does.

i really hate when people use “third world country” as an insult. third world countries exist because of continuous looting and economic and political bullying by the so-called first world.

actually it’s like bragging about network numbers during a fucking pandemic.

Then remind them that the Americans elected this guy president.

I would say America has predictably approached the COVID-19 pandemic the same way we’ve approached gun violence, skyrocketing health care costs, immigration, declining education, any pretty much every crisis this nation is facing: by letting a minority of incredibly stupid, ignorant, short-sighted, selfish amoral…

“Seths Rogan”, surely?

I think this may cause us to reassess how Americans define freedom. We tend to prize individualism to the extent that giving up some individual freedom for the common good is seen as a slippery slope toward tyranny, and I think this crisis is showing just how misguided that kind of thinking can be.

I could think of a few alternate titles for Rise of Skywalker, but I don’t think any of them would be MPAA-approved.

We all know Rosebud turned out to be a sled. But what this article posits is that the sled actually represents Charles Kane’s lost childhood innocence. The twenty-eight-minute youtube video goes in depth to back up this notion with several carefully hidden easter eggs which unintentionally confirm this theory.

This is true. The real title of Episode IX is actually “Star Wars Episode IX: Palpatine Fucks”.

To “EconomicAnxiety” in true MAGA chicken shit wuss fashion who dismissed my reply, you’re pathetic since my comment was-

It would have been some pretty impressive foresight if it was.

just that she was “hostile” and “fostered a toxic workplace”, which, wtfff does that even mean?
