Said better than I ever could, and I have tried.

Wouldn’t a laser sword just be one big edge?

Skimming the headline, I assumed we were talking about a gritty Netflix reboot for this show that’s been off the air longer than I’ve been alive. TIL.

I would imagine that evolution on Hoth would select for the palest possible skin tones the better to camouflage against Wampa attacks, right?

There was a flashback scene of Ceresi getting a prophecy from a witch. There may be other examples, but I don’t recall any without researching.

Between this and finding out this weekend that Tom Holland has a British accent, I’m feeling pretty unmoored right now.

Doug Stanhope does a bit about how he’s had several really good points for improving the world in his standup, but people laugh at the jokes and nothing changes. “It’s like I had the ability, in a world full of starving people, to occasionally point out food that nobody had seen. ‘Didja ever notice...there’s a plate…

Perfectly said. I do love his standup specials, but his material is so much weaker than his pitch-perfect delivery of it.

Do you have a case to make for why this particular person should be given a seat at the table? What about her makes her worth listening to at all?

My 13 and 15 year old kids love it. They’re both pretty accomplished bakers, so they are literally screaming at the screen at points, it’s great.

Most of what happened to Sansa will never happen to anybody living today (being held hostage by a lord in a castle, etc). The rape maybe looms large in imagination because that’s something that could actually happen to a…

I also thought she might have been trying to be kind to the Hound. He looks very pained in that scene, and I wondered if maybe he felt that he had let Sansa down by “allowing” all that stuff to happen to her (whether that makes sense or not; guilt can play funny tricks). I wondered if Sansa was trying to reassure him…

My take on Good Time is similar to yours. Grimy, grim movie, great acting.

Considering Kip Thorne was actually born in 2475, I’d say we can take his word on that.

This but unironically

Can you tell me what you liked about it? I watched the first episode, and it just didn’t land with me. If I had to try to verbalize why, I would say the vibe is a little too “randomly surreal,” as opposed to, say, Bojack Horseman, which feels like it takes a surreal concept but then operates in a pretty…

Lol, I did the same thing, only I was 9. The perfect age to get very upset at small differences between a book and a movie.
