Support thread for folks who found both Force Awakens and TLJ boring and realized you’ll never love Star Wars as much as you did as a child and that’s ok

Came for the Sneaker Pimps, got Michael Bay. Leaving dejected.

ah the power of wishing

He plays Churchill on The Crown.

Jay Roach has been doing this type of movie longer than Adam McKay, but always for HBO before this.

Academy voters? Maybe?

I will remind the world at every opportunity: the woman with whom Newt Gingrich committed adultery, while impeaching Bill Clinton for sexual misdeeds, is now the actual US Ambassador to the Vatican.

Yeah, being accused of a terrible crime when you’re innocent is just something you shrug off, it’s no big deal. Also he died at just 44.

At the risk of sounding ageist, most 89 year olds are lucky to have one good bowel movement left in them, let alone a transcendent work of art.

I actually knew Jewell a bit, through some high school friends who worked summer jobs in (this will be shocking) a store security department that he ran years before the events here. He was just a nice, mild-mannered guy and anyone who knew him at all could have told you he was not single-handedly outwitting the FBI.…

Eastwood may be conservative but that’s just a ridiculous statement.  Are you suggesting he’s supportive of domestic terrorism??

His lawsuit against the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was dismissed, but NBC and the NY Post paid him at least half a million dollars in settlements.

The more I learn about Sully, the less I like his version of it. They could have easily turned it into Sully reflecting on all of this without adding in the inquiry establishment “bad guys”. From what I understand the inquiry was largely a “we love Sully” love fest.

I was a reporter in Washington during the Clinton Administration, and that was an actual witch hunt. Newt Gingrich leading a moral crusade? Clinton was impeached for lying about a blow job. That would be the 12,445th worst thing Trump did today, and I haven’t even had lunch. It just shows how little dirt they actually…

I’m old enough to remember. Various media outlets painted him as either a dangerous right-wing terrorist (as far as we know now, he wasn't particularly political), or as a pathetic wannabe warrior. There was a lot of brutal punching down., and the fat jokes were rampant.

I agree. Our media often acts as stenographers for law enforcement before any legal process actually begins. Things like police blotters, can damage a name without any verification of the suspect’s guilt or innocence. The media should be better and failed to be so in the case of Jewell. Further it punished the man for…

Did Eastwood ever endorse Trump?

Piedmon College settled with Jewell the libel case he filled against them.

Janet Reno publicly apologized for what the FBI did to him.

The contempt, even after all these years, that journalists have for Richard Jewell is just extraordinary.  If you read the passages IV wrote about him in this review, you’d think this pathetic cretin of a man deserved everything that was heaped upon him.
