It’s definitely different though. It’s more like ‘One important event in your life happened because of this person, and that was 20+ years ago.’ Like, Calvin Klein didn’t organize their company baseball game and stack the team with professional ringers and he was never their boss.

“Couldn’t she save Anakin from a terrible choice, if only she were there to understand what he’s going through, a point she makes clear to Obi-Wan when she learns of Anakin’s task to spy on Palpatine?“

Your description of the Emperor’s motivations and actions are borderline spoilers, and while the Baron was definitely angling for the throne from the beginning, you’re absolutely underselling his generational blood-hatred of the Atreides, which itself forms the dramatic basis for some of Paul’s revelations about his…

A guide for the super lazy:

When the Emperor handed Arrakis to Duke Leto, Baron Harkonnen (who already loathed House Atreides) vowed to do anything to get it back.

I feel like Brosnan had a bunch of good qualities from all the other Bonds. He was a jack-of-all-Bonds - he could be suave and charming, cold-hearted and brutal, a little funny, etc. Like, if you ranked the Bonds on the various personality traits, Brosnan wouldn’t come in first for any of them, but he’d be second or…

In Disney related news, Abigail Disney continues to call the company out for their shitty practices.

Flight is all well and good, but I always wanted to teleport like Nightcrawler—and in a pandemic world, that power is even more attractive, if only for how it’d further limit one’s exposure to virus while in transit from place to place...

“I think you are way off base in thinking the Shuttle was a bad idea,” Roger Launius, former chief historian of NASA, told Gizmodo. “It was an idea that made sense at the time, but the technologies were insufficient to realize it fully.”

To be fair to Nedry, in the books he was seriously screwed over by Hammond and Ingen. After he was hired to do a specific job for a fixed price, they kept changing the specs and requirements but would not pay extra for the additional work and when he tried to walk away they got him fired from other jobs and…

Live look at OP.

I’ve had an Xbox as long as they’ve been a thing. Inevitably, at some point, I know I’ll get the newest version as well.

That’s some “freshman who just got high for the first time” logic you’ve got there, Mini-Malthus.  

I’d argue that you misspelled “Dallas”.

All the Dinosaurs died of loneliness 

No, his version is terrible, because it showed us this ultra-badass Grevious that was a legitimate horror movie villain and threat to Jedi, only for him to pop up on screen as a cowardly wheezing mess...

[T]he conservative squad idea wasn’t about me or any four people,” Mace told Roll Call. “It was about the growing number of conservative women who want a new kind of leadership in Congress; a group of female fighters to go against these socialists. There are hundreds of female candidates across the country who…
