That’s not just sparkle, the Carters are an entire 4th of July fireworks finale display.

Word. My grandpa definitely is making himself a martini and watching this on a loop.

In this case? Yes.

Are you in the Northeast? Get RCN — I switched over and knocked $80 off my bill for TV and internet combined. Their UX is kind of shitty, and they don’t have as many movies on demand, but for my tv-addict viewing habits its a fantastic deal. My total bill is $117, including the two premium channel bundles I added…

I don’t see any reason to make kids movies that actually insult the intelligence of kids.

I saw the trailer for MONSTER TRUCKS this weekend (at a showing of HIDDEN FIGURES — don’t they usually tailor the trailers to the audience for the movie they precede?) and it was so astoundingly dumb I was actually angry and mildly offended by it. The fact that someone got paid money for that pitch and script really…

YES! I went and looked her up, I knew I’d seen her in at least two other things.

The lady in the tan jacket keep showing up in Stephen Chow movies.

This is moderately irksome. What REALLY gets up my nose?

So basically they’re all massive Robert Anton Wilson fans?

I can dig that, I was too when I was in my teens and 20s. Good fun!

No, they didn’t. The “average” life-span is skewed very low due to huge numbers of people dying before the age of 5 due to viral infections now prevented with vaccines. If you lived to be six years old, you had a very good chance of living into your 60s and 70s.

I’m not sure why you should feel anything, or feel in any way compelled to talk about it other than to say “congratulations!” if you feel you must say something. Unless you are either Serena Williams or Alexis Ohanian, their engagement is not about you in any way.

Grief is a heavy thing indeed, grief over the loss of a child perhaps the heaviest. It is possible to die of a broken heart.

You do it better than that, for God’s sake. I don’t know what “kys” means, I’m too old for all these acronyms, and I’m a grown woman so no “fanboi” here.

I’m talking about the CGI recreation of both Tarkin and Leia.

Aesthetically, I thought both instances were terrible decisions. They reeked of more-clever-than-thou grandstanding, and really sucked the air out of the narrative, since the audience’s focus is immediately drawn to the CGI-ness of it all.

Watch the last 3 episodes of S2, then never watch it again.

I’m a better person in nearly every other aspect of my life. I’m going to keep this pettiness.

Gal, and yes you may. I would still have had her in it, but it would have been just a handoff in the distance, to a familiar figure in a white gown, but you’d never see a closeup, maybe just her turning away to R2 and taking that pose that we all know from the holograph, then cut away to something else, then end.

I feel like that time is rapidly approaching. Churning these things out one after another takes all the “special”-ness out of them, and it won’t be long before they run out of characters that anyone gives a shit about. There’s really something to be said for having to wait three years for the next installment of a…
