Seriously asking: is anti-fascism really at the top of what anyone thinks of when they think of Cobain?

Exactly. The only other on set gun related fatalities I’ve seen mentioned involved poor maintenance (The Crow) and misuse (Eric Hexum, who put a gun to own his temple, not understanding how blanks work) of guns using blanks and/or dummy rounds. Someone getting killed because there was an actual live bullet in the gun…

Taking your questions seriously:

Not just hooking up (did she and Obi Wan ever hook up on that show, or did they just flirt so hard it seemed they must have?) but outright falling in love, and turning out to be a better romantic partner for a Jedi than Padme was...

I think the last Ventress story (Dark Disciple) is post-Disney acquisition, based on an unproduced Clone Wars story arc, and so canon. It has her dying at Count Dooku’s hands. If I remember right, however, the book does have a tease suggesting that the Night Sisters might somehow manage to bring her back from the dead.

Must be fun, thinking we can say anything with 110% certainty...

I guess it depends what you mean by terrible character. I mean, under any circumstances Anakin’s terrible, in that he’s tragically doomed to eventually betray his friends and his order and become a cold blooded murderer. But in the prequels he’s a terrible character in a different sense because his motivations are…

Yeah, that’s a great double feature. Both films feature career-best performances by maligned young actors of the era (Christensen in Shattered Glass, Ryan Philippe in Breach). Even though Hanssen’s in many ways the opposite of Glass, the stories are very similar. In both cases, the information that Billy Ray gives us…

IIRC, the Hulk in Wakanda thing was probably still in the movie at the point when they made that trailer. They cut a subplot in Infinity War where Banner becomes Smart Hulk during the movie.

And Ahsoka was clearly drawn as South Asian. So maybe?

The facts you state are true, and yet Lanter is still the better Anakin, by a mile.

Dude was, what, 20 when he shot Attack of the Clones? That’s a long while waiting for your balls to drop.

I think what made it work IRL was the combination between that projected weakness and the confidence he had in spinning his stories. You don’t expect the pathetic eager-to-please guy you kind of pity to be able to lie right to your face.

It’s a shame they already cast Sabine, because looking at Winstead with (I’m guessing) her Kate hair, that would’ve been a great fit for her, and would capitalize on the solid chemistry she and Dawson had in Death Proof. Aphra’s probably the next best thing, a character they’re likely to spin off with her own show…

I don’t care about the age nearly as much as I do about Anakin not being the best Anakin (and more importantly, Ahsoka’s Anakin), Matt Lanter.

It’s why ESB is entirely beloved and TLJ is, at best, wildly divisive.

As a piece of music, it’s no great shakes and the lyrics of that rap are kind of ridiculous. As a brief audio cue that tells you “Get excited—great TV show incoming!” it worked really well.

I hate it when TV shows continue past their prime, and I wouldn’t be for Justified getting a revival as a continuing series (has any of the recent series revivals been worth a damn? The Roseanne one is the most successful one I recall, and even then it wasn’t acclaimed as really great TV), but I’m guardedly optimistic…

Kind of wish when he saw them speed dialing Mark Addy’s agent, he’d gotten to scream “THERE ARE NO ANSWERS THAT WAY, BENIOFF AND WHATEVER THE FUCK THE OTHER GUY’S NAME IS!”

Casting Cox and Gleeson as brothers in Troy was inspired, even if (as Cox points out in the article) it kind of ended up with Gleeson taking Cox’s corner.
