Yes, Deadspin, that classic TV site.

Maybe it was cross-posted to a Sports website, Headline when you load the page.

WTF with the spoiler? Thanks for ruining it. I get that most people (me included) don’t care about this show like we used to, but that’s just a dick move.

Well, fuck. No spoiler alert?

But David Brooks said we need to reach out to these people. He couldn’t possibly be wrong!

Remarkably stupid comment, thank you.

It’s best to actually read articles before commenting on them.

No, they’re about “chivalry”, as well as Nazism.

i don’t know if ‘parenting’ ever stops. i guess it depends on your definition. i’m in my 40's and am recently divorced, and the best advice i got was from my mom. at some point ‘parenting’ turns into passing down prior experience. i never would have gotten through it without my mom. sometimes criticism stems from them

The mark of adulthood isn’t being married or having kids or having a 401(k), it’s accepting (even embracing!) that not everything is supposed to be tailored to you in particular.

It would really help readers if you put up an actual photo of the goddamned tree.

This is weird, but: I kind of think that, by shutting down the possibility that The Force Awakens’s plotlines would lead to a trilogy-long rehashing of the entire original trilogy, and spinning off in surprising and new directions with the characters and their adventures, The Last Jedi retroactively made The Force

I think movie time made it seem longer than it was. It doesn’t take very long to fire at transports. Meanwhile, we’re checking in on Canto Bight, the transport gang, Kylo and Rey, etc. I don’t think it took her more than a few minutes to make the decision. (And kamikaze tactics aren’t arrived at lightly.)

I think it’s reasonable to assume that, as this has probably never been done before, it took her some time to come up with it.

Let’s start a female led “Die Hard” rumor. Because nothing is sacred, fellas.

Reluctance to kill EVERYONE on the 1st Order ships? There had to be some innocents that died.

This I actually understand, though. My GP is a woman. My OBGYN is a woman. My dentist? A woman. Notably, all those offices I just mentioned are staffed entirely (I think) with women.

I don’t know, I could imagine women not wanting to be around men when they’re seeing a doc about breast enlargement or labiaplasty. These people are obviously insecure about how they appear to the opposite sex and going to a plastic surgery clinic would kind of bring that to a point.

The plotting itself in Act 2 was pointless. What Rian Johnson was trying to do (I’m not sure I totally agree with his decisions) was take the usual harebrained Star Wars convoluted Hail Mary hero plan and make it fail. And fail spectacularly.

I stand by my “Excellent review” comment, though I guess this is also, perhaps, more in line with a critical analysis than a review. FWIW, I don’t think Ackbar would have been as effective as Holdo in both the sacrifice—it’s cool to see a non-legend do something legendary—and, as you say, in Johnson’s goal of fooling
