Everyone is Ringo Starr in the DC movies.

Technically you are correct. In practice, especially in the 90's, it rarely turned out that prosecutors would be penalized for racial profiling. Even today, you have to have give beyond the pale, such as writing notes indicating juror race is a factor you are looking at. And even then, those notes need to be

I think Travelers is excellent. I've seen the first 9 so far, and it's the best new sci-fi series in a long while. I only hung with 12 Monkeys for a few episodes, so if it got better, I didn't see it. But Travelers works from the jump, and by the second episode is far more focused on the characters and the world

Women who looked like Henson couldn't vote until the sixties in many states. Not if they valued their lives. It was legal, but legal didn't mean practical.

We should all feel uncomfortable with humanity. I think that's the point of examining the darker parts of our history.

It will never stop shocking me that the two best books about the space program that I've ever read, Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff and Andy Chaiken's A Man on the Moon, never mention these women. Wolfe was hyper focused on the astronauts, so it's understandable. But Chaikin was writing a comprehensive history that did go

Must be 80's guys named Richard. Richard Lewis took down a roided out hillbilly on my bus trip from Albany to El Paso last week. The guy was just sleeping, but Richard took him down all the same. Guy never knew what hit him.

If you're going to be humorless pedant, you should really know the minutes and the seconds.

Didn't Joe Gideon already do that?

Bradley Cooper is 46 years older than her, but people seemed to really dig that one. And it didn't even have robots or space rape.

I'd much rather have another Pandorum than an ode to the joys of rape.

Spapist.

The last three movies to focus on Darth Vader didn't work out so well.

Be fun if Rust Cole moved to SanFran and became a tech billionaire who drinks lattes made from the crushed dreams of the doomed.

Your welcome. Also, Soylent Green is people.

I just found out that Pratt's character in Passengers is a stalker/rapist/sociopath, and he's the hero. Did everyone but me know this?

I think this also describes many A/V Club articles.
