That’s the problem with democracy. You can leave it up to the masses, but the masses are asses.

Which is legal but frowned upon. Thanks, Obama.

Although it may be tempting to call this movie a Groundhog Day ripoff, I’m not sure that’s entirely accurate.

Rachel Bloom is in this episode! (Yay!)

That would require the show to actually have continuity and for its characters to have long-term memory.

Four years under Trump feels like a bullshit sentence.

Or his looks, personality, athleticism, sense of humor, common interests, or penis size.

Riddick 3 opened domestically during a slow weekend and did well enough internationally. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a fourth one. The demand for it isn’t really there, but Universal wants to keep their star happy.

True... Though among their various crimes is the one where they steal items from Best Buy by buying them, returning them for a refund, and walking out with them using the stickers they put on returns.

Han Seoul-Oh... Gotta love that name.

One of the best things to happen to the franchise was to lose the idea that Brian O’Connor was any sort of law enforcement officer. We never do learn how in the hell the FBI wanted anything to do with him.

He’s kind of like Stallone in that way: An action star whose only major success has been in franchises to which he keeps returning. They even have three each: Rocky/Rambo/Expendables vs. Fast/xXx/Riddick.

I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, so I love “Free Fallin’” for its representation of the 818 (though I should point out that the freeways technically do not run through Reseda).

I do love the LA transit future this movie presents. You never see anyone driving a car, and Ted gets off the subway and is right at Santa Monica Beach! (We do currently have a slow-ass light rail train going there, but a subway would be way faster, and the extension we’re building will only go as far as Westwood.)

Hey! When Santa asks a question about guns, you shut up and let Tom Brokaw respond to it!

Why, oh why must my name be attached to crap like this?

“My motorcycle got towed for being parked too awesome.”

Or Clubber Lang.

Whooooooooooooooop! (applause)

I think the issue going forward is that, having achieved such fantastic success with The Force Awakens, Lucasfilm wants all subsequent Star Wars movies to look and feel like it, and will be hiring middle-of-the-road directors like Howard to make that happen. So no, I doubt it will be as bad as a George Lucas
