How is it “subtle racism” if it’s a true story?

Home ownership?!?!?! New car ownership??!?! College?!??!?!

Debatable. Likely due to regional language differences. Where I’m from, a hot dog is distinct from a standard sausage in that it’s typically made with a soft, almost imperceptible casing and usually of lower quality ingredients. In contrast, a sausage’s casing has a snap to it and you can actually tell you’re eating…

All I know is, if the movie is set in New Orleans there will be alligators on every street corner, every room will be cooled by small 1950s metal fans instead of central air conditioning, it will be Mardi Gras even if the movie takes place in August, and everyone in New Orleans will have some mysterious connection to…

A terrible Cajun accent.

That’s where babies come from.

I go with the playing possum. His switch from simpering to electromacutin’ seemed effortless. And he was back on his feet faster than Jennifer Lawrence on a red carpet.

He wouldn’t have beaten Palpatine. Palatine knew exactly what he was doing. It was all just a ruse to get Anakin do something he couldn’t return from.

+1 As soon as it was announced that Harrison Ford would come back for TFA, my immediate reaction was, “They’re going to kill Solo,” since I couldn’t believe Ford would agree to do the role again unless that was part of the deal.

I think it was an “I told ya so” from Littlefinger, regarding their conversation in the woods over who would lead House Stark. He wants to plant the idea that John is taking what’s rightfully hers.

Corporations are not individuals and should not get to claim ownership over ideas in perpetuity, either.

You don’t have that right, and you shouldn’t have that right. Copyright exists to ensure that you don’t have that right. “Creative freedom” doesn’t mean you get to play with something that someone else owns. But you can be creative in other ways. That’s why copyright doesn’t stifle creativity.

I can agree with everything you just wrote and still think Paramount and CBS have done nothing wrong and Axanar really screwed up royally. Yes, copyright is kind of broken right now where the public domain is concerned, and it’s kind of broken because Disney and other large corporations have successfully lobbied for…

Actually? Yes. It’s a fantastic thing. Because think about the time before those types of shows dominated the networks. Where we now have things like Game of Thrones or Sons of Anarchy or Archer or The Walking Dead, or any of a hundred other awesome shows on cable... their equivalents used to be on network TV. And…

You can’t half-ass IP rights. Either you control it with an iron fist or you let the audience/fans have (some) control. Star Wars took the opposite approach of controlling it with an iron fist (depending on the medium/extent). And everyone accepted it for decades.

It doesn’t matter though! It is THERE IP not yours, not Anaxars.

GOOD.

That’s why Batman is thought to be a master detective: he has already met all of his villains, he’s just the only person in Gotham that remembers.

I worked in a gentleman’s club when I was younger. It’s amazing how quick the brain switches from pervy glee to boredom. It’s different for different people, but within three weeks it was just another job to me.

It also helps that all the sleazy behind the scenes shit really strips away the appeal.
