People should read more Dickens. He’s just fun to read.

LOL slightly off-topic, but relevant: one year in HS our teacher assigned Julius Caesar, Lord of the Flies, A Separate Peace, The Return of The Native, and a fifth I can’t remember, but pretty certain someone was killed as well. By the end we were convinced she was a serial killer.

I love the ChangesNowBowie version.

Not to be That Guy, but I feel the need to clarify one very important fact:

It’s somewhat like the Watchmen quandry: Rorschach is intended to be a completely repellent psychopath, but Jackie Earle Haley did such a fine job in the movie that it’s hard not to root for him at times. (I’ll admit that I stop at the “You’re locked in here with me” line if it’s on.)

This solves one of the two reasons why I avoid nude beaches.

I’ve always chalked that up to how they were trained — to ask for things in a certain order.

I’m sure she also signed some Disney/Marvel NDA with clauses like “give up your firstborn and/or left arm if you talk” etc.

I was wondering what was going to finally get me to sign up for Disney+.  Yup, Kathryn Hahn and Kitty Foreman will just about do it.

I... have no idea who you could be referring to

I was thinking more of the high-level “hey, heads-up, we’re re-introducing this guy who died six movies ago*, who we swore up and down was dead for sure, and we haven’t mentioned hardly at all in these new movies.” But get past that, and the scene itself was good.

Yeah I actually enjoyed Skywalker, and I don’t need articles like this harshing my buzz. :)

Obligatory

Unfortunately Chadwick’s story rings true. My mom died of cancer about two years ago after battling it for about three years. Was feeling fine* at Thanksgiving, so-so before Christmas, and passed away a few days after New Years.  So it can happen quickly.

This also brought a smile to my face

The punchy, Ariana Grande-wannabe track

“We’re thinking of a catsuit,” and I thought, “Okay, you can guys can keep thinking that way.”

I mean, he’s pretty much been a d*bag for... forever? Even in his racing days? I caught fragments of this Friday, but as usual with Twitter I had no idea what was going on.

Looking forward to those two and Chris Pine, too -- “that’s a trash can” from the first trailer.
