You know, I'd almost forgotten how outrageous the Death Panel bullshit was. Having an employee of an insurance provider your pre-existing condition precluded you from getting coverage was totally, 100% fine, even if it resulted in your bankruptcy and/or death. But GOD FUCKING FORBID that the government step in to

Not to be a hipster about it, but he was an abrasive asshole on a reality show before it was cool.

Ahhhh, Claremont-isms. Gotta love 'em.

Well what else are you gonna call it? "Comic book" implies that they're funny, and that so-called joke proves that certainly ain't the case.

Spitball is one of my favorite X-Men.

The logic here being that the Conservative Political Action Conference watched Bill Maher's show, and thus were convinced not to let Milo Yiannananananapolis speak?

That's the thing about Star Wars: even the coolest guy has serious breathing problems.

There is also a second trilogy about a young Han Solo that came out in the 90s, that both precedes and follows up on that 80s trilogy.

Harrelson.

Yeah. The Sith in the Expanded Universe intrigued me more - they were more cult-like, instead of being just the Evil Jedi Club. One could be a dark Jedi without being Sith, and one could be Sith without any of the Jedi trappings at all.

Yeah, and ughhhh, even the name Darth Maul … like, Darth is a title now? All the bad guys are called Darth Something? Dumb.

The fandom for both him and Boba Fett, and the indulgence of it by writers, brings out the worst parts of Star Wars, IMO. They are cool-looking bad guys whose only purpose was to be defeated by our heroes.

I can see that, but ohhhhh do I enjoy it regardless. In a trilogy with almost no passion among any of the characters, it was very cathartic to see someone dive fully into "evil and loving it" territory.

The scene where the Aliens were swimming was pretty cool. And I have vague memories of liking Ron Perlman and Winona Ryder.

I know it probably seemed like too much back in 2002, but it's not like the helmet seems practical either. Just hand-wave it with "something something advanced polymer face mask, something something goblin serum, something something molded to his face," and voila! We've got the actual Green Goblin.

Why go to the trouble of casting the most goblin-looking human in the world only to put him behind a big plastic helmet?

IDGAF that Green Goblin screen test looks rad.

In fairness, "psyche!" uses more characters, so it's less Twitter-friendly.

"The moon? Terrible. Awful place. No air there at all. None. And you can't trust it. Honestly. Wait a few weeks, it's different. I like satellites that don't wane."

It's best to just move on with your life - as my German grandmother would say, "I'm over it."
