Yes, I believe Gilliam’s entire rationale was to tell a story from a child’s point-of-view. In fact, the camera is rarely more than four feet off the ground.

the leads may not be Little People, but blink and you miss it later...

I always assumed having the Time Bandits be little people provided the advantage of Kevin being on their level and not physically overshadowed by his fellow adventurers, similar to Elliot and E.T. the following year.

I’d be interested in the narrative behind that, especially for someone who has been mostly invisible for the past few years. At the very least, I’m not convinced that outright excluding her is a more positive step.

I expect there’s also the frustration that Biden now has the same hammerlock on the party that Trump does with Republicans. He won’t quit and they won’t forcibly remove him.  So we have...

Maybe they weren’t lying and he really was still jetlagged after 12 days. Which is a more terrifying thought. 

Those of us who’ve been paying attention saw the issue, sure, but after having the problem literally waved in front of their faces even Democratic voters who aren’t politically engaged can’t help but notice. Maybe not you or I but plenty of people swallow messaging hook, line and sinker. Now they’re spitting out the…

Yeah it’s a damn shame that we don’t have a duly elected, Constitutionally sanctioned office-holder whose entire job is to take over from the President in case of physical or mental incapacity. Like some sort of Assistant or "Vice" President. Quite the oversight if you ask me.

I agree about the “we’re so boned” feeling, but I felt that back in 2016 too. Though I have a skewed view since I live in the heart of the South so I basically never feel confident in a Democrat victory until it's evident it's a landslide on election night. 

Unfortunately that’s just the way prime time TV works (though yeah, 7 is a valid option). And also unfortunately, it’s gonna do nothing against allegations if they come out and say “hey can we move this up? Grandpa is worn out”

Lol, you clearly didn’t’ watch the clip and sound exactly like one of the people in Congress and the media that Stewart was making fun of. 

The bigger problem I see is that the White House has gaslit the American people for essentially two years. Saying this was “a bad night” doesn’t explain the dozens and dozens of mistakes, flubs, bizarre comments, and just lack of awareness that Biden clearly has at times. When the Hur report came out the White House…

Here’s the thing: reassuring your nervous supporters that the debate was “one bad night” shouldn’t be complicated at all. Just get the candidate in as many live, unscripted situations as possible to prove that he can still think on his feet and still has the stamina to campaign. Schedule a live, one-hour town hall…

I think The Shield comes closest, for me

The original wasn’t a hit. It lost money at the box office*, but will have made money back on video. So a sequel is far from a guaranteed earner.

So...

Hey, you never know. The last time Kripke tried to do a 5-season plan for a show, it wound up going 15. 

“I think everyone wants to go out on a strong note, and I think there’s nothing worse—and I’ve been involved in a show that did this, it was fucking horrible—you do that last season and it’s shit. And you get remembered very poorly and you have to kind of wear that,” Starr continued.

I think things might be different if not for the fact that we’ve known for a year and a half now that Trump would be the nominee, once it became clear DeSantis was all hype. I think there might’ve been more consideration to opening up the Democratic field if we weren’t assured well in advance that the GOP would…

I think your attitude is pretty reasonable.
