I disagree. Intention is absolutely relevant. There’s a big difference between being an asshole because you WANT to be an asshole and doing something assholish and not recognizing it. The end result might be the same, but the ability of someone to alter their behavior is SUPER different. There’s no excuse for…

You go to your favorite restaurant and order your favorite dish. When the food comes out, it’s not what you ordered. You got something else, because the cooks and waiters are protesting abortion. What does your food order have to do with abortion? So you stop going to the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant sees…

I want my 5 minutes back.

Yes! It’s my most hated trope of movies, TV, and comics. When you start tying everything together, especially in a vast, expansive setting like Star Wars, you actually make the whole thing seem smaller and less epic. That was one of the major problems with the prequels.

Tying everyone in the universe together would have been the lazy route.

For a large number of Star Wars fans, nothing is ever good enough.

Rey’s parentage reveal in TLJ is fantastic. Exactly the kind of message SW should send in this day and age: “Doesn’t matter where you come from. That’s not who you are or the limit of your potential. You decide what to make of yourself.”

I’m just telling you what the law is. MSU would have lost that case. They literally had a 0% chance of prevailing. They would have wasted a bunch of money, and in the end Spencer still would have been able to speak on campus.

Okay so here’s what actually happened: The movie was announced, and more people decided to read the source material. The source material is absolute trash and so more people are going to hate it and voice their opinions.

“The book ends with (slight spoiler) a record of Halliday explicitly warning people not to repeat his mistakes, and withdraw into entertainment to avoid a world he was too meek to face.”

Yeah, but that’s kind of like ending The Expendables with a coda in which Stallone says violence is not the answer to anyone’s…

I think my main problem with the pop culture references as plot in the book is that none of it is really hyper specific enough to make it feel like the author is just filling the story with things he loves personally but more throwing in things just about everyone will recognize on a basic level, thereby coming across…

Ugh. Even a good review makes this sound fucking unendurable. Gaze in awe at the imaginative mindscape of these daring young dreamers, who steal meaningless fragments of other people’s coherent work and mash them together in the most thoughtless way possible!

Its not a revelation, and very few people are treating it as such.

Come on, the Cards are actually better than the Yankees when you count honor, tradition, and playing the right way. Tell us how.

And meanwhile most of Mia’s surviving children are a mess, and she and Ronan are both basically giggling in public about her having an affair and fathering Ronan with Sinatra while still involved with Allen - mother of the year!

I would assume it’s because, like a lot of other celebrities that know Allen (and Farrow) well, like Diane Keaton, as well as Mia Farrow’s OWN SON Moses, they believe Mia planted the idea of abuse by Allen in that poor kid Dylan’s mind. Her own son believes this, and Dylan did claim that no abuse occurred in her…

I don’t care. Vin Scully is the voice of God and always will be. He can be wrong occasionally.

I’m usually very middle-ground in my opinions regarding society, but this is one of those cases where I ask, “Why should the sneezing person care whether or not someone says ‘bless you?’” Most folks know if someone is having a sneezing fit, wait for a few moments for it to subside and extend the blessing. Likewise…

Really, it’s come to this?
