Redmond Washington? One of those looks like my Uncles house.

This was the most unrealistic scene. Most kids I knew in the 90s would have thought the neon-tron-laser tag scheme was badass.  ;P

I noticed the same thing about the Nirvana drop. If I wanted to let it bother me, I’m sure I could work myself up to it, but I wanted to like the movie, (and I did,) so I didn’t mind.

I have a theory about “Avengers: Endgame;” Flerken have pocket universes in their bodies as well as (messy) teleportation abilities. What if GOOSE is the key to undoing the snap? 

I feel like Captain Marvel is the first Marvel film where everyone is all over the place on the scale on what they liked and what they thought worked and what didn’t.

“Jill: The cat is not in the movie enough.”

Good movie, not great. A little bit fractured in the beginning, but once it got going it was much better. The supporting cast was delightful. Loved the twist and the ending, too.

Yes, but a $500,000 gift to a fund to build a new building would easily get you on the “look at this kid’s application extra generously” list. Frankly, a $100,000 gift would get you on that list. At the very least, it implies you have even more where that came from. Source: I am a former college fundraiser at one…

Do you think they’d already tried the cheap route - $5,000 for a neuropsych indicating a need for extra time, plus 30 sessions at $500 an hour for a crazy great tutor?

There are no bootstraps on penny loafers.

Exactly. We’re talking about Aunt Becky here-- she doesn’t have the kind of money it took the Kushners to get Jared into Harvard. 

I thought these people knew that they were supposed to pay for a new building or buy the Dean a new car?

USC is a private school. You’re thinking of the UC system of state schools, but some of them are just as competitive (UCLA and UC Berkeley have a 16% admit rate).

As rslwn pointed out “ne” is a gender-neutral pronoun that doesn’t have the (relatively rare) plural trickiness that “they” has, nor inspires the ‘how do I pronounce it’ fits that “xe” does.

I’m from a small population rural state so forgive my ignorance, but is getting into a state school as a CA resident really that difficult? Or is USC not part of the state system? Sorry, in Maine USM is part of the UMaine system.

I recall a previous interview where Smith was very clear about not trying to emulate Williams. Which is a good thing.

This should have casted Alexander Siddig as Jafar, and the current Jafar actor should have been Aladdin. Such a missed opportunity.

I have two problems with Jafar: he’s too young, and his voice is not deep enough.

Look, no one is going to be Lea Salonga — they’re just not — so rather than focusing on “not as good” why not focus on “hey, it’s good but different!”

I’ve never thought about it before, because it’s such a staple of Sci-Fi, but I can see why the name is somewhat misleading. Lightspeed engines [in Sci-Fi] are a form of FTL— propelling or otherwise moving a ship many times faster than the speed of light.

The “light speed” part doesn’t refer to the speed cap, but…
