Certainly not a paper throne of pages...

Say more about that...

How? With what messaging? And with what ultimate purpose in mind? If the “her” you’re talking about is Marjorie Taylor Greene, she’s in a bright red district. She won her general election race with almost 66% of the vote in 2022. She won her primary with almost 70% of the vote. (She actually…

“There’s ALSO nothing wrong with an audience wanting closure.”

A couple of issues with the framing here:

1) I can’t go so far as to say that there’s literally nothing wrong with an audience wanting closure. Closure isn’t inherent to the human experience as a thing that we always get, so wanting it is somewhat…

People on the Internet can be kinda stupid.

I love how, on the one hand his themes are obvious and his dialogue is stupid and expository, and on the other hand, people struggle to articulate his themes and complain about the elements of his films that they don’t understand. Different perspectives from different people, mostly, but I find it entertaining. I love…

So, based upon your larger point (the GOP is good at messaging bullshit into scandals)... and the solution that you seem to be proposing (Dems should be holding investigations, and talking about them on TV all the time), the only other question I’d ask is: At what cost?

Here’s the reality as I see it: Everything…

It’s really easy to talk about values when you don’t have to put any effort into modeling them. Easier still when you don’t have to worry about consistency. Easy still when you operate under the expectation that everyone else will conform to whatever you articulate as your values, but you never have to examine or…

Nobody is making “us” read anything. 

Thank you!

Perhaps the authorities are saving a stamp and plan to hand over the allegations of her alleged fraud during the trial they’ve scheduled for her... other alleged fraud... Perhaps Pique turned her in. Perhaps the taxman ate her jelly...

Fair question, but probably not best asked in the context of this film... Hahahaha

“Why do Dems sit on the sidelines and refuse to fight back? Drives me crazy.”

Just curious: What, specifically, do you want “Dems” to do about Marjorie Taylor Greene displaying nude stills from private videos during a committee hearing?

You’re right. He’s a total hack. I’m a shill. And I’m literally the only person that has ever pretended that he’s a talented filmmaker.

We’re obviously weighing different factors. Or weighing the same factors differently. I wasn’t there, but I’m inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to the performer. If she felt that telling them to tuck their summer in was a better choice to protect everyone else’s experience than letting it happen, I’m inclined…

She wasn’t talking to “those not there” though. She wasn’t trying to preserve the experience she worked to create for “those not there.” They weren’t selfishly disrupting the experience of “those not there.” She was speaking up for those who WERE there, whose experiences WERE disrupted. I’m inclined to trust the…

What?!?! What the fuck kind of logic is this?!?! By percentage, everyone else was there to pay attention to her. Literally no one else bought a ticket hoping that the people in the front row would disrupt the show by drawing attention to themselves.

“Her own fans were the ones asserting their entitlement to filming her concerts: they paid for the privilege to be there, so they should be able to do what they want. There’s truth to that, -”

Nah. There isn’t any truth to that. Your ticket doesn’t entitle you to disrupt a performance. Your ticket doesn’t entitle you…

Yeah. That’s actually the best description. Literally anything is more likely than the supposition floating around that Filoni is going to make an intentionally inscrutable show with no audience prep whatsoever, and then make some popcorn, fire up Safari, and point & laugh at people’s confused reviews! HAHAHAHA

That might be part of it; I don’t know her contract.

I think part of it is probably that she’s proud of the work (she should be) and wants it to be more widely experienced. I also think part of it is just that, for people who enjoy the larger body of work, the Clone Wars and Rebels series actually do a lot of lifting…

“If you watch Ahsoka and decide you want to dive deep into Clone Wars and learn more about her history, that’s awesome! But it should not be a prerequisite for understanding the new show.”

I articulated this elsewhere, but ultimately:

1) I think all of the discussion about the importance of the source material is premature.

Ahsoka isn’t out yet, so we don’t actually know if this is actually going to be an issue for folks who haven’t done what they call “homework” (and I call “watching TV”). Disney almost…
