Does she explain why the new record doesn’t rise to the level of “mid” or did they run out of biscuits?

Did you think it was anything other than a coincidence? If so, why?

Broadly: Aegon isn’t given a lot of character shading as a deep-thinking planner who would lay a trap for someone...

Specifically: In the scene where the idea is presented to him, it literally seems like if he’d been told “We’re going to take him to…

“I haven’t actually heard a third of the songs on the list, which generally makes it difficult to evaluate covers...”

Is there a reason why you can’t... listen to the originals? Hell, I’d argue that it’s more fun to “evaluate” the cover on its own terms and THEN listen to the original since they’re effectively both new…

Who’s the “she” you’re talking about here?

Fuck you, buddy! Nicole Kidman is right:  We go to that place to experience confusion, hallucinations, other people’s fecal matter, and a host of other things! Because MAGIC!

All that is true, but my 65", 5.1 surround setup still isn’t as good as a theater.

You have a right to your opinion. This is even an opinion I share. But I also recognize that there are plenty of people for which this isn’t true, for a variety of reasons. They don’t love it the way we do. They may have less disposable…

To your point, human behavior in theaters is also a factor for people who love the theatrical experience. I have a better time watching a movie in my own home than I would in the first 2-3 weeks of most releases because Me and Mrs. Munners are both more respectful movie viewers in our own home than the average…

I agree with a lot of what you wrote, but this is your strongest point:

“also, and i’ve beaten this drum a lot, streaming fucked the MARKETING of movies more than anything. you do not see movie trailers during commercial breaks on tv shows anymore.”

I grew up going to movies and LOVING the entire experience. Some of it…

He got run over by a supertractor. I don’t know what you learned from your last experience at urgent care, but disaintdat and datintdis.

I think people are really shitting on Hawkeye and phrasing it as directed at Renner.

“And if you’re condemning whole geographical areas, you have Washington DC right there.”

Even this example doesn’t make sense. If you’re pointing the finger at politicians, most of the people in Washington, DC are not elected officials, employed by them, etc. And many of the elected officials don’t even have secondary…

“Leno with Kevin Eubanks wasn’t so great either.”

To be fair:  Leno with the fucking Beatles wouldn’t have been great. Leno, live from Woodstock, minus all the mud, wouldn’t have been great.

And let’s be honest:  That was disjointed trash. It just so happens that SHE was good in it.

I don’t think the actual experience is like what you’re imagining. First, assuming you’re right about “the whole point,” you’re in the middle of the ocean, so you’re definitely “away from the city.” The cruise I took wasn’t on a ship this big, but it was an pretty big RC cruise ship and I also almost never felt like I…

If Ryan Reynolds finds himself in mid-air, do you think he looks down for a shark these days? I really wanna like the guy and I legitimately think his heart is in the right place, but...

He moved from the suburbs to the city to be closer to Black culture and ended up appropriating Confederate culture instead.

Also, Kid Rock grew up in a Detroit suburb and moved to DJ to be closer to B-boy culture. Let that sink in:

Rich, suburban midwestern kid moved to Detroit to be closer to Black culture and ended up proudly minstrel-showing his way to riches in front of a Confederate Battle Flag.

“I think everyone should view the confederate flag as a 100% racist symbol, and people have no excuses to ignore this.”

Do yourself a favor: Stand on that. The rest of what you typed was just “some stuff” to allow space for some of the people who were in your life growing up to not be thaaaaaat racist.

We’re not closer…

Messy, sure. The galaxy far, far away seems small if everyone’s motivation is that of an NPC.

Inconsistent? You’re not as convincing on that point. One can’t extol the powers of cinema on one hand and also suggest that it’s a good thing that someone with incredible clout and power within an industry made shitty choices…

Yawn. If they’re a sisterhood... as long as the show isn’t called “Dune: Brotherhood,” I don’t really see this as the issue you think it is. It’s a show about the origins of a sisterhood. They didn’t need “sisterhood” in the title and they also didn’t need to edit the dialogue to de-emphasize the focus on the…
