it would probably be sort of...uh, awkward if she wrote about young Black women.

she is a great writer and her most compelling stuff is when she’s most honest about the unlikeable parts of being a human.

I like Rogue One specifically because all the characters don’t get much of a backstory, they were “forgotten” heroes of the Rebellion who did a crucial thing, and then all died. Too many times Star Wars doesn’t just let a character’s story end. I would’ve had Ezra die too in Rebels. 

Somewhere in the multiverse, this has already happened.

and even the Disney one is actually so terrifying and that’s the tidied up version?!? This gonna be a freak film.

I will add that I thoroughly appreciated The Card Counter, one of Schrader’s most recent films that I watched for Oscar Isaac and found to be very well done.

I mean, it makes sense if he just wanted to hit on this woman and needed a barely plausible pretext.

Idiomatically, we use the word “like” to mean in the manner of which is not always a simile.

Agreed. Again, she’s fine in small doses but I often find myself skipping some episodes on rewatch that rely too heavily on her. Same with episodes where Linda is acting especially crazy and irrational, to the point of it being frustrating to watch.

Comedians don’t age well.

The actress who plays Adult Deja is tremendous, too. She sounds just like younger Deja, it’s uncanny. 

Agreed that there’s no way he doesn’t show up there, or at least get mentioned specifically.  That said, here’s my longshot take for a possible cameo - he shows up in Wakanda Forever, since we know from the first movie that the Wakandans also worship a member of the Egyptian pantheon.  Makes sense.

First Class should have been good but it’s just so generic and predictable that I find it boring. I’m gonna say DoFP is probably the best one.

I’ll take as much Days of Future Past as possible meself, even the Rogue Cut which adds, y’know, Rogue! and she gets to connect with Logan again, awwwww. Also has this great bit when Peter’s kid sister ask Logan “Who are you?” *super melodramatic push in on Logan for no reason* “I’m The Wolverine. Where’s your brother”…

100% agree about Kevin and Sophie, no thank you!

I was like, “Oh, crap, now Miguel has Parkinson’s.”

The thing is that Dumbledore’s story as a young man is really depressing. He wastes his romantic energies on an evil wizard and never gets over him. His family is destroyed and a lot of it is his fault. The third films evidently (I am not paying money for this after the second film) ends with him walking away…

JK revealing herself has made me re-examine a lot of stuff that bothered me in the original Harry Potter books, but from a narrative stand-point I feel Deathly Hallows is when issues started to really pile up.

End of the day, Harry’s journey is not acknowledged. We’re not shown how he’s grown, how being a wizard has…

If you read about what happened with Jamie Lynn when she got pregnant and how she was treated by her parents (mostly her father) you can see that she is also a victim of abuse. It’s sad that they’re now attacking eachother instead of the people that were at fault.
