In my area the local Fox News affiliate dropped the name ‘Fox News’ from their name because they did not want to be associated with... Fox News.

‘Alt-right’ is the name they tried to give themselves. Their real name is ‘Emo Boyband Nazis’. Their primary claim to fame is taking juvenile daddy issues much much too far.

They should start the season with Victoria Principle walking in on Bobby Ewing in the shower and realizing last season was only a dream.

Is it a coincidence that Streep had earlier crossed swords with Donald Trump? Usually the Trumpanzees resort to anonymous death threats but they also do character assassination as well.

This just in, the Emo Boyband Nazi cult (otherwise calling themselves the ‘alt-right’) are now claiming they’re the source of this absurd Star War whine-fest.

Lucas was all about the ‘hero’s journey’ spouted by Joseph Campbell (who was himself using Star Wars to make his esoteric theories ‘hip’).

Only a Star Wars groupie would be upset by no Gar Jar Binks in the latest film.

After waiting a week for Fox to unlock the darned episode for viewing I soon got bored and turned it off halfway through. Which is NOT my usual reaction to Bob’s Burgers episodes.

Partisans like to rave about Fox being #1. What they’re talking about is cable TV. That’s like bragging about winning the world’s tallest dwarf contest. NPR’s Morning Edition radio broadcast consistently pulls in about 800% the listenership on a daily basis than Fox has viewers on its best day.

If 0.01% of the US populace is clinically insane that number leaves us 32,000 insane people we’d  to contend with. And they all have internet access.

They spent all that money, went through all that effort, then the 3rd act involved Billy Zane trying to shoot DeCaprio as the boat sinks under their feet. Which was the single stupidest scene I’ve ever seen in a big-budget movie (LOTR franchise excepted).

Jumanji: Palin Family Christmas.

I recall a Buffy fan some years ago going on about how hot Willow was. Yeh, nothing says ‘hot’ like a short skinny girl in knitwear and sensible shoes. Hotness is a function of the viewer’s libido more than the viewee. On a good day everyone looks ‘hot’ , on a bad day nobody does.

I think the point is the character IS a video game sexist stereotype the same way Johnson’s character is too. You don’t get imported into an early ‘90s video game to find yourself a noted female corporate lawyer. She’s basically Laura Croft.

What’s the target audience for this film. Thirteen year olds? In that case bland brainless fun sprinkled with slightly ‘naughty’ humor is all you really want from the film.

I’m reminded of the tour bus episode of “the Good Wife” (just a year ago) where the candidate was compelled to choke down a ‘loose meat sandwich’ for the press at every rural Iowa campaign stop until he just couldn’t take it anymore. The American ideal used to be egalitarian, especially on the heels of the Great…

Milana Vayntrub just nabbed the role of ‘Squirrel Girl’. What about Bruce Willis and Vin Diesel? One problem with the image of the ass-kicking stereotypical ‘ethic action hero’ is reality tends to creep into the fantasy. Watch a gun-wielding Israeli commando movie and your mind drifts back to the American teenager…

I recall when he was starting out Spike Lee would sometimes be referred to as ‘the black Woody Allen’ by critics. Back then it was considered a compliment. Now it describes a calcified fossil whose worst story telling tendencies have come to dominate everything he does.

Sorry, the distances between stars is simply unbridegible.

Since it would take roughly 80-90,000 years to travel too-or-from the nearest* star (physics is real, y’all) may I suggest we instead consider these to be manifestations of fairies or gods or Cthulhu to be investigated. Because they’re just as likely as space men.
