Er, did you see the previous season? We all needed the break from them. If all we missed out on was another season of the kinds of scripts done by pretty much everyone but Jamie Mathieson, we did fine.

I wonder if anyone is going to go to the effort to try to make a better movie out of this with a fan edit.

An “awesome competent female lead” who is only part of the events of the movie because of being abandoned by her father, abandoned by her father figure, her relationship to her father, carrying information based on her father’s work...

That’s nothing. Just wait a century until the human brain is mapped even more finely and we can have programs to just push all the right neurochemical buttons, accurately, precisely and repeatedly.

Still 12 days left to the already murderous 2016, perhaps it has a few celebrities left on its list. Knock off some easy stuff before it goes, you know?

Yet another distraction. Don’t fall for it. Ignore and stay focused on the real harm, the real damage the incoming administration can do.

Could we put together a kickstarter to get Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham all contractually obligated to do no more tv, movies, voice work or other projects until or unless they complete a movie together, then get that movie stranded in development hell indefinitely?

No gender-swapping needed, just make both of them gay or asexual.

I would really love to hear your thoughts and have a - private - conversation about it.

So I’ve been meaning to binge Sense8 for some time and just hadn’t gotten around to it. Which is criminal, because I adore Babylon 5.

I’m sure a very strongly worded letter is being drafted at this very moment.

And more to the point, what kind of vetting happened to ensure Hamilton wasn’t just being emailed by any random yahoo who could sound military enough?

Bring back the draft. Let’s get a lot more families’ skin in the game. Then we’ll see how much the military will put up with from Trump.

Absolutely agree. I had this same insight while finishing my christmas shopping on Amazon, on the same day that I’d read the umpteenth article about Amazon’s treatment of their warehouse staff.

Let rural America die quick.

Articles like this are part of why Hillary lost.

From the article:

What comfort should we take when a monopolist - who built a multi-billion dollar empire to dominate an industry with knockoffs of other people’s ideas and aggressive, predatory pricing and marketing - likes what they hear when they hear Trump talk about his goals and vision for the country?

Michelle Yeoh is in this? Does this mean the chance of some sweet Captain-kicking-ass sequences with a real martial artist doing her own stunts?
