Not while he has a strangle-hold on their base.

I think so. Caring about her at all pretty much undermined the entire reason for his quest. If other life is worth caring about, his mission is wrong. Also, he's an egoist. He probably doesn't like the idea of her existing without him.

Ego also killed thousands. And they were his own kids.

I thought the villain was great. Fitted the theme and blending both grand scale and personal stakes. And well-acted.

From your mouth to God's ears…

There's a psychological concept that our brains are wired to assume that other people's brains are like ours. This works to our advantage in myriad ways, but also probably causes things like projection and the amusing fact that stupid, ignorant people overestimate their own intelligence ("I'm just as smart as most…

With such a big gap in ages, they probably got rid of most of their baby stuff. Made sense to have a shower then.

I don't know. The Romans did it successfully. Of course one side ended up descending into misery and barbarism for a while.

The emperors knew their stuff. Bread and circuses yes? Maybe we should all just hope for a benevolent, intelligent despot.

Americans pronounce tons of things differently because: (1) Americans retain an old-fashioned regional version of English that you guys abandoned centuries ago (this is why we say "fall" instead of "autumn" for example) and (2) America has had immigrants from all over the world constantly changing how we talk.

Well apparently beer is good for digestion so maybe all those big thoughts gave us stomach-churning anxiety.

Domesticated grains, legumes, and veggies. Invented beer…

Yeah. They can't all be winners. And I bet Caveperson-inventor's half-domesticated experiments pee'd everywhere and bit people…

Our ancestors turned the wolf into a dog, taking its amazing sense of smell and hearing for our own use. They invented culture replacing a huge part of physical evolution with cultural adaption (we didn't evolve fur, we killed animals who'd done it already and took their fur). They did a lot with their huge human…

It would be weird if the American character pronounced it like a British one though.

Yeah. I mean the first 100 calls were hilarious, but after that, frankly, it was diminishing returns.

I don't think I'm obligated to answer phone calls, honestly.

Maybe legal gay marriage will influence practice and "husband," "wife," and "spouse" will become the norm. I tend to agree that "partner" just seems cold. I like "spouse" too if you're hunting for something gender-neutral.

Surely it's a legacy of when LGBT people could not legally marry but wanted to express a relationship that was deeper than boy/girlfriend?

Yeah, I thought Borat ended up being a testament to his victims' good manners rather than an indictment of their inaction.
