Yeah, it seems Bernie’s argument that he will bring out a wave of new voters has yet to happen. He clearly inspires his own fans MUCH more than Biden does, or anybody except maybe Warren, and that means a lot, but there seems to be a limit on how many people will support him.

I thought Warren would be the nominee when things started, so what do I know, but I do think a majority of the party is moderate, and the fears of the last weeks of Bernie getting the nomination scared the hell out of moderates (both fears of him winning but more so his losing to Trump and costing Dems the House too).

Anti-choice decisions, plus ones that allow employers to fire LGBTQ employees at will for “religious reasons”, gerrymandering that insures minorities get little representation in government, and millions more without healthcare, are all coming our way if Democrats lose in November. The 5-4 majority is bad, imagine

Yeah, it’s a real waste. As Jen was one of the funnest Marvel characters. Writer Roger Stern came up with the idea when he wrote “The Avengers” that unlike most of the other heroes in the Marvel Universe, she LOVED having been transformed via a freak accident into a superhero. No angst, just good times (plus

Anyone know of a weekly review that is as detailed and well written but less, well, harsh? Zack is super knowledgeable and has strong views, which makes him a good critic, but as someone who is a Trek fan but maybe not as critical a fan, and who is actually enjoying the show for the most part (although Raffi doesn’t

Now playing

Shia doing Tarzan yells was terrible, but it made a lot more sense than when Chewie did it!

I definitely can appreciate that perspective, and still enjoyed a lot of the movie (for me it’s definitely the best of the new trilogy, even if Rogue One is the one I liked most of the new films overall.)

I agree the contracts don’t have to look identical as the issues are different (different number of games, different qualifying schedules, the men being able to rely on professional leagues for other income, etc.) but by all accounts the money spent has been pretty unevenly distributed even taking into account the

I did not know that so thank you.

I keep hearing Tal Shiar as Taha Yar, which adds a layer of interest!

While Luke losing his idealism and retreating to a life of solitude is better told, it never felt earned to me. Luke Skywalker is the heroic protagonist of a fantasy space opera. He’s the one ho saw the good in Darth Vader and risked his life to fight to bring him to the light, and in doing so saved the galaxy. That

The United States Soccer Federation is a non-profit, so how much revenue each team brings in should make no difference (I think the women have brought in more in recent years, in any case.)

Noah Hawley (“Fargo” TV series, “Legion”) wrote a “Doctor Doom” movie script that I would LOVE to read. And it would amazing if it barely has the FF in it.

How about Joe Keery (Steve Harrington on “Stranger Things”) for Johnny? He can play a good overly-confident but lovable, not always super bright guy.

Shout out to Ta-Nehisi Coates and his “The Case for Reparations” which Damon Lindelof read, and which he stated directly inspired him to spotlight the massacre in the new “Watchmen” (and actually inspired him to do the series all together).

I find him a little too goofy. Be a good Elastic Man!

I’d prefer David Tennant. He can do the light comedy the film(s) will likely have, but also make the sci-fi mumbo jumbo sound real enough and play a little arrogant, too. (I guess you’d have to overlook the fact that he played Killgrave of course, but that seems okay.)

I liked the segment overall but he makes a point of saying he’s not considering the politics of it, which is fine I guess, but makes a lot of the rest of what he’s saying less powerful. Shitting on the public option (which a majority of Americans like), while only supporting something that’s currently politically

It’s my favorite of the Dawn of X titles too, but I still don’t get how we finally have an X-Men pirate series but it’s without Kurt? Odd choice!

I think the name change to Kate is a nice nod to her using that name in the Days of Future Past storyline. So we knew she changed it at some point in the futre, and now we’ve reached that point. She’ll always be Kitty to those of us who grew up with her, but it fits the character to change it.
