Part of the job of the government is to protect the vulnerable. That includes people with low health literacy, like these people clearly have. Trump’s statements about the effectiveness of these drugs is irresponsible and encourages people to do dumb things. He is not wholly responsible, but he certainly didn’t help

I don’t get this idea that a 30 hour experience isn’t worth $60 when people regularly spend $20 on a 2 hour movie.

so it wasn’t the price, the notch, the fact that there are no buttons or the fact that face recognition blows? it was screenshots? ok lol

You mean the price?

“Nice hat”

Sadly, unless the Resistance really builds up its navy quickly, I don’t think we’ll see a huge space battle in episode 9 either.

Dude, no. Lots of countries expressly, legally guarantee a right to free speech.

I find it amusing that there are so manny sad little dudes still trying to drive down the audience score, get a hobby!

Yes. At around 1:14 in the director’s commentary, Rian Johnson explains that every choice was made specifically to ruin your personal childhood.

Hopefully there will be a backlash against the backlash.

Even with nothing but music, TLJ haters will still whine, moan, complain and act as if they’re personally being persecuted by a movie just because they didn’t like it.

I’m not sure you understand what a “twist ending” is.

Yeah, I don’t remember any twists in The Cloverfield Paradox.

that you just got tricked into watching another Netflix original to spawn even more Netflix originals and then it’s invasion of the Netflix snatchers

I’ve never seen “The Village”. But in elementary school our class had read “Running Out of Time”, the premise of which is that a young girl finds out that it’s not actually the 1840s, it’s the 1990s and she basically lives in a museum expedition. When “The Village” came out and I saw the commercials for it, the twist

Luke’s thing with the blast shield where he deflects the laser bolts with a lightsaber, after learning about The Force 10 seconds earlier, is kinda similar. In ESB he can barely nudge the lightsaber in the snow, which is a more natural first step in Force ability. But he doesn’t really do it in order.

Does the force teach people who have never even seen an ocean how to swim?
