Confession time. 45 year old math teacher who has printed for forever since writing ended as a grade requirement in 5th grade (I always got Cs in that class and As in everything else, and I was so thrilled when I learned I didn’t have to have graded writing any more in 6th grade).
I would be the first to tell you that

Agreed. It wasn’t perfect, but nobody really worries about the stop motion creatures from Clash of the Titans (1981 version), and many still consider it a fun (albeit silly) movie. We are in a time when blending CGI and reality is still not perfect, but getting better.

I actually though that Tarkin’s reflection was

I think at one point, there were actually 4-6 droids from the IG-88 line (an upgrade from the IG-78 line). When the first was awakened, he was “insane”, killed his creators, and downloaded himself into the other prototypes.
This was used to explain the junk parts on Cloud City—it was another IG-88 (as well as the

I think the release date hurt it also. I saw it, and I thought it was a nice addition to the SW universe (like I thought AntMan was a nice addition to Marvel, but I loved AntMan and Wasp). But Solo was just a few months after The Last Jedi, which was ok also, but nothing that excited me much.
Also, Avengers was already

I still hang on, and I still get some enjoyment from them. I do believe they have pretty much put to bed of the “keeping secrets” trope and shown a little character growth.
But I am hoping this season is the last...

When I was younger and first heard Rush Limbaugh, I thought the same thing as well about him.
Oh what a naive fool I was...

Thank you. This is what I thought. I get it—they don’t want us bingeing Young Justice and then dropping the service.
Perhaps in a few months they will have more content.

They could probably get me to subscribe now if their comic selection wasn’t so flakey (from what I have heard).

Would you fill me in on some info on the service, please?
I know they release episodes weekly. Are the episodes left on for later viewing? If I were to subscribe in January, would I still be able to binge all of Titans, or would that content most likely be taken down?

Those are good points. Perhaps DC is now able to move past all the darkness and seriousness and move on to something more enjoyable. I really think I would enjoy a (well written) Flash movie with Ezra Miller, but I don’t know how much a retread of some of the themes from the Flash tv show.

I do think Marvel to the

I agree. Also, I think it would have been better to have JL form against a tough, but not quite so formidable villain in the first movie, and then set up Darkseid once the JL has been established.

JL is not exactly the movie I would have wanted, but it was OK in my opinion. It is a serviceable introduction to those

While I agree, saying what he thinks about it and actually doing something about it are two different things. He would lock Hillary up if he could, and I am sure he knows (or has been told several times) that he can’t.
So he will cry foul, he will bluff and threaten, but should he lose in 2020 (please, please, please),

Personally, I believe this is the same reason for so many anti-vaxxers. People forget our history. It has been so long since so many people routinely died due to infections and diseases that we have forgotten the real struggles and the miracles that modern medicine really is.


This is the best argument I have heard so far, even though my lazy butt would probably waste it in the evening too...

I had a iPhone 6 with small storage, and I deleted the app this last summer to make space. I still use FB, but now just through the browser, and it really has limited my time on FB. Of course, idiotic political posts have made FB a lot less fun now too—I have hidden so many family members it is not even funny.

I got mine at 34. I figured I had enough to decide what fit my life then. It is mathematical, and I still don’t regret it.
My wife wanted to know why it wasn’t her name. I plan to be with her until the end (its been 22+ years now), but I still wasn’t going to go that route..

I can’t believe how old they look. It makes me feel SO old.
Of course, I am pretty sure they have partied a lot and earned those life mark.s

LOL. I tell my students all the time to get on the Snapbook or Facegram something and post it. They look at me like I’m a dinosaur (and at 45, I am to them), until they realize I am joking.

Yeah, I know. My wife and I are pretty frugal, however, and I just don’t do too many monthly subscriptions. That might make a nice Christmas family gift to all 3 of us.

Any suggestions for collected trades of Spiderman to read? I am more of a DC guy, but I read Spidey quite a bit when I was younger (I think I still have a Spiderman 300?!? somewhere with Venom and the wedding, as well as a few issues of the Kraven “kills” Spidey and takes his place saga in which Kraven shot himself at

I actually like Acevedo as well. I didn’t think his character was really a believable challenge for team Arrow, and I was ready to move on.
