Marvel’s worried about their new movie opening slightly lower than their last movie, which will be one of the biggest of all time?

Not to mention (I refuse to reply to OP) that by driving them underground, it also makes them harder to recruit new people. I’m copy-pasting a comment I read and really enjoyed from a Polygon article about Discord shutting down white supremacist servers, but it’s applicable here too:
So are you saying that we (people that are opposed to the alt-right) would be better served by having alt-right people exist on mainstream platforms?
It’s better than the prequels, but not by much. Most of its individual scenes actually work, putting it above the prequels, but its superstructure doesn’t, putting it below the original trilogy.
There are deleted scenes of him hanging out in a cave, doing Force stuff and building his green lightsaber.
They knew that they couldn’t storm Jabba’s palace, so the plan was to get everyone inside the palace and take it down.
The tone of this piece is....weird. I didn’t read Bacon’s article as looking for credit for recognizing he was wrong. I saw it as basically admitting he was wrong, and analyzing the fairly obvious signs he missed that led him to be wrong, which you seem to largely think he correctly identifies. It almost seems like,…
Not snarky at all, and I asked; it’s just that the information provided in the article didn’t really provide insight into that (at least, not that I saw). After a quick Google search I found this NY Times article, detailing the members of Congress who have received the most in terms of NRA donations. https://www.nytime…
I agree that most gun owners in America are responsible. I don’t think they are being drowned out by the crazies though, they are being drowned about the NRA, the Republican Party and the gun manufacturers. Like most things in this country, this is about race and money. The gun manufactures use the NRA as their…
Last time I said we need to find a way to stop a nut with a gun—and that’s all I said—I get an email saying, “I’m saving my last bullet to put it right between your eyes.” Just another responsible gun owner in America.
If a Republican candidate was anti-abortion, conservative and in favor of common sense gun control, Republicans voters would still vote for them over the Democrat. The problem is, in primaries, the NRA gives money to pro-gun candidates, tilting the scales in their favor.
don’t receive it when somebody threatens you with ‘Everybody’s getting the flu!’
A hospital in my area set up an ED tent in their parking lot to triage the number of folks coming in with flu emergencies. This is an enormous hospital, one of those ones that spans blocks. My husband and I both had the flu this year (he got the shot early, I am getting it next week) and it was so miserable. I regret…
If it wasnt religion, it would be snake oil, or conspiracy theories, or something else. Or just general crazy. Religion didnt create people like this - its just that parts of it have gotten really good at harnessing their collective need to be idiotic for their own evil ends.
My question for evangelicals:
Nobody tell her about the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 which killed between 40 and 100 million people. And everyone knows 1918 was way before gay people existed, so it’s not like it was sent as a plague for our sinfulness like modern plagues.
My mother started to show signs of this. She’d send me insane chain emails she’d get from co-workers, and during discussions would reference some right-wing talking point as if it was common knowledge. I got pretty upset the evening she referenced “death panels” as a reason she was opposed to Obamacare as I harshly…
A filmmaker explores the radical change of her once Democratic father to an angry right-wing fanatic after his immersion in talk radio and Fox News. She discovers this to be a powerful phenomenon that has divided families across the nation.
Hell, Fox is for fucking cucks now.
