I think the misdirect works in the context of Luke being at his lowest point and believing himself to be The Last Jedi and Yoda reminding him that the tradition will live on.

yep, Yoda’s messing with him (the most Yoda-y thing Yoda’s Yoda’d since the 80s). I still enjoy that scene for the symbolism of letting go of the books but remembering their meaning, and trusting your students to move forward with the tools you’ve given them.

lol that scene RULED

Stewart doesn’t outright call the courts the last bastion of truth, this article does, Stewart makes the point that it’s the court’s job to go backwards and look at the records, and the media has the job of speculation.

In court, Fox News has admitted there was no fraud, but on their own channel, they argue that there…

Do all movies for adults have to be anti-corporate criticisms? Or just the ones you want to watch?

It’s also worth noting that in this case, the story that has “mass appeal” is the one about the emotions of a white American girl, in contrast to some of the content of Pixar’s previous releases. (Turning Red’s protagonist was Chinese-Canadian; Lightyear featured the studio’s first same-sex kiss;

...what is this article? Of Pixar’s 28 films, 9 are sequels; that’s a third of ‘em. Looking at the roster, the bulk of the sequels came between 2010 and 2019 (which makes sense based on the age of the studio and the production timeline), followed by a spate of original stories whose release were hamstrung by the globa…

Since then, nothing. Absolutely nothing. But “riding coattails” implies he was coasting on other people’s success. NBC approached him to develop a sitcom, and he recruited Larry David to co-write the pilot. He wasn’t the most talented cast member or writer, but he hired people that were better than him. He would also…

Work in a school, asshole. 

I’m a little surprised about the absolute hatred of the movie. It’s nothing special, but hardly something to have a strong reaction to. It’s probably as bad as the _____ Movie series, but at least it’s only one and not a continuous rehashing of the same things.

Zionism; literally just the belief that Israel should exist. This might shock you, but most people probably fit the definition of zionist. Even Palestine supporters.

What’s especially weird is Seinfeld jumping on the “everything is too woke now and no one likes dudes being dudes” train considering none of that was ever inherent in his comedy. That stuff was for Ricky Gervais or Tim Allen or maybe Bill Maher and apparently Dave Chappelle, but Seinfeld’s comedy was always about as…

They’re dumb opinions, but it’s not like he’s shouting them at you on the street. He’s saying then on a podcast, that by definition, people are listening to because they want to hear his opinions. You clicked this link because you wanted to read his opinions.

Parents, teachers, friends, family, co-workers and bosses exist in your real life. You know where the line might be and the line for each of those people are probably different than it would be with any of the others.

It’s weird because his sitcom was one of the best television comedies of all time, and I often see it said that it’s because of Larry David and the other writers and Jerry doesn’t deserve all of the credit... And I often see it said that he’s the worst actor of the main four... But he is really funny playing “Jerry…

Podcast guests always think everyone wants to hear their opinion.

I don’t understand the point of this article, other than it being a swipe against someone who is past their prime but still largely regarded as a top tier comedian.  What is surprising about a 70 year old man pining for a world he understands?  Does that flush away his accomplishments?  Most of our parents probably…

I’d argue that being a dick has always been his thing. His humor has relied on sarcasm and a general dismissiveness toward other people’s feelings for a very long time. It just used to be on stage, directed at a straw man breaking the unwritten rules of society, so we tended to agree with him. There was more to it,…

I assume he was asked.
