It seems like it’s pretty early in the history of the park and Ford was actually trying to bring Arnold back much like William attempted with Delos. Apparently he was unsuccessful so he instead made Bernard. OR it’s the most present, uh... present we’re seeing, after the rebellion is successful, and Dolores is trying…

I love how much of a matter-of-fact bitch he’s being to Dolores for changing him and then treating him just like Old Teddy.

“Freeze all motor functions”

It’s actually pretty awesome to have him acting against a human and not a host. Katja Herbers is very good and a good hire since her stint on The Leftovers.

I, as someone who also doesn’t understand the appeal of James Franco, live for a good ol’ Iggy takedown. Everything you need to know is in that first line’s relative clause: “whose résumé as a director is as extensive as it is undistinguished”.

The A.V. Club

This is flat bullshit, and it’s shocking how successful the Lost Cause mythologists have been in injecting this narrative into the popular understanding of Grant over the last century. Go read some accounts of Grant’s funeral to get an appreciation for just how revered Grant was when he died.

Edgy

His reputation was savaged by the proliferation of Southern historians in the early 20th century. The same people who said the civil war was about states rights say he was a bad president. He’s on the rebound.

From reading the Chernow bio, I get the impression that President Grant may be severely underrated by history. It’s true his administration had numerous failings and eventually succumbed to that era’s pervasive cronyism and graft (due largely, Chernow thinks, to Grant’s utter naivete). But Grant was more progressive…

Dropping the trailer during the Cannes premiere is a rather smart move. Film Twitter is filling up with reactions to the trailer and film itself simultaneously.

The weapons are next to the empty grave in back of the church.

Sure, but the slit wrists wouldn’t leave room for any “accident” interpretation. That’s the contradiction.

In a real world example, sure. In a plotted, mystery-box TV show, however, the discrepancy between the story told and the story shown almost certainly means something.

Maeve in Shogunworld. AKA the best DLC you can ask for. Thanks based not-Rockstar.

Surprised no mention of William at the cantina......that was Sergio Leone level Western myth making, the brief silent montage in the middle, the rain, the excruciating tension, the explosive ending and then that wonderful aerial shot of riders on horses at full gallop across the plains.

Fallon does not deserve Michael Shannon.

Welcome back to the narrative, Felix and Sylvester!

ARMIN IS BACK!!! WOO!!! And she kept the OG techies safe and whole the entire time, too. Thank you Armistice, now we got the crew back. This RPG just got even more interesting. BANZAI!!!
