It is never too late to talk to LeVar, AFAIC.

You know, you could come up with worse ideas for a movie than Malcolm
McDowell and Christopher Lloyd as rival time travelers vying to win the love of Mary Steenburgen.

Yes, the final scene was puzzling - it looks like the surviving characters are all having a “wrap” party on the Millennium Falcon. All the while, the viability of the Resistance itself is now in doubt. As in, had one First Order ship succeeded in catching up with the Falcon and blowing it up, the entire resistance…

The biggest whine in that regard was OH MY GOD, where did Snoke come from? And the answer is who gives a shit?

Part III is my favorite. After the madcap whiplash of II, it’s like a cool hangout steampunk western romantic comedy. Plus it’s got the beautiful Mary Steenburgen, who brings charm and class to everything. As to this last statement, I will fight any man who says different.

As for Poe’s subplot: Why the fuck would Holdo give top secret data to some maverick who pointlessly wasted badly needed bombers and personnel and got a demotion because of it?

Abrams had to shit all over it with his “don’t throw away your cool laser sword like I did hurr durr!” bullshit.

I have many gripes about Disney’s handling of this trilogy, but one of my biggest is the decision to dribble out the stories Luke, Han, and Leia over the course of one movie each. With Force Awakens they missed their golden opportunity to do what most fans probably wanted, which was to have at least one scene of Luke,…

That’s because most television and film companies tend to defer creative decisions to their marketing departments these days.

Upvoted for mentioning The New Show. Very much of a “noble failure,” that show. There are some sketches that have been uploaded to Youtube over the years, and while the quality of the video leaves much to be desired, they give a good glimpse of what that show could achieve. Very much of an original “Not Ready for…

Because they know they will never have more captive eyeballs than at that moment. And so it always has to be something topical/current events oriented so people will comment/talk about it the following Sunday-Monday.

Lorne Michaels also runs The Tonight Show and Late Night, plus he had one of NBC’s more successful sitcoms in recent years on their prime time lineup. Newsflash: Lorne Michaels IS an "NBC overlord." Heck, he's probably the longest tenured guy at NBC by this point.

The writers are not good at penning sketches for everyone in the cast and keep throwing in the same few characters/types over and over because they know the long haulers can fill those roles with no effort and the sketches will be approved. Right now, the sketches run too long. They need to cut them down and…

I’ve always had this suspicion that the older Lorne Michaels gets, and the more his sense of what’s hip, or edgy, or current by the standards of the moment wanes, he just tends to go for younger and prettier/handsomer, and above all else non-threatening. I mean, isn’t there always a market for a good looking face? Or…

Take a moment to look at the photo at the head of the article. Count the number of people in that photo. Now look at this one:

And there’s less variety to them, especially in terms of visuals (yes, comic movies also have plenty of sameness to them - but its not an entire sepia-tones genre).

For me, this was the most important part of the Politico story:

Oh, for those simpler days when I was just annoyed with Eric Clapton for constantly cranking out bland, tedious, commercial, white guy renditions of the Blues.

“Yeah, the market consolidation in radio is hideous... I think we’re down to two companies owning over 90% of the stations that are on the air.”
