It’s not legal, but it’s the chilling effect that’s the point. Like you said, it’s holding people hostage...by the threat of massive inconvenience, loss of money, stress and anxiety, and precious time if you dare to disobey an unconstitutional law. (Put aside for the time that TX found a way to make the…

I think the crux of this particular argument going on is that there seem to be a lot of people invested in the idea that Well Actually, Paul is not a White Savior trope when Frank Herbert intentionally wrote him as a White Savior trope. All of Dune was supposed to be a subversion of many different science fiction…

This show wants to be Spring Breakers so bad but it’s like the failson that can’t ever live up to dad’s expectations or accomplishments.

As long as Mattel and the movie producers toe the line (aka don’t be “woke” about it) the response from the RWNJs is going to be muted. Why is that? Because Margot Robbie is an Aryan goddess that they’re all going to watch and fap off to later, that’s why.

I want to believe Hill dying in the first act is a callback to Winter Soldier. We’ll see her come in with the cavalry to save the day in the third act.

I think the real Ross is still in Wakanda.  He was probably duplicated a long time ago, and someone higher up then Contessa is duplicated as well, because that’s the only way a “traitor” like Ross who skips town with foreign nationals is getting forgiven and placed back on Agent duty after Black Panther 2.

Can’t wait for the movie 50 years from now about an underwater salvage team that ends up finding the Titan, and the old girlfriend of one of the dead billionaires tossing a giant diamond necklace into the ocean where they find them.

No kidding. Do you know who thought trenchcoats were cool when I was growing up? Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.  No one else after that, for good reason.

I think the difference is experience and attitude. Discounting the differences in voice between Eckstein and Dawson, Eckstein’s younger Ahsoka has always had a glass-is-going-to-be-full kind of optimism and youthful energy in it. Dawson’s Ahsoka has seen some shit, her stance says, “I used to ride-or-die with Anakin…

I must be the only commenter to love L&T.

Pancreatic cancer and liver failure certainly contributes to a unique odor!

“The guts”? or maybe the common sense to not create difficult to overturn precedent right now against using the 14th Amendment when the Supreme Court is stacked with Republicans 6-3.

Sanderson’s been working on a novel version of the story, as well as the second volume of the graphic novel.  I’m confused too, because this preview is years old.  I was expecting a chapter from the actual book.

After seeing Nick Hoult in The Menu and The Great, I can confirm that he would be a fantastic Lex Luthor.

Around here, I see a lot of Ridgelines bought by older folks that are empty nesters and do a lot of gardening or property work. It’s basically the new Element, with an open bed. Qualifications: Honda reliability, drives and rides like a Honda car, and can haul some dirt / plants / building materials / tools around.…

Kind of, yes, they do. Especially since they replaced all their cars with SUVs.

The sad thing is that they already just did that. Reintroducing EX/Elite Raids that have to be done in person, as special events one day a month with special rewards motivated players to get outside and participate in the special events in person. And no one is complaining about that. Mission accomplished! The last…

It’s a combo of him looking like a good-looking 40ish (compare to 40ish Robert Downey, Jr.) and she has always looked youthful like she’s 18.

YMMV, man. My personal example is my 2007 Tacoma in my driveway. 340,000 miles on it and it’s still the most reliable vehicle I’ve owned. No major powertrain issues, starts and runs every day, and no significant breakage outside of your normal wear and tear items (a worn-out alternator, belts, the A/C blower motor, an…
