I know some fans, of the movies in particular, will be disappointed. But I like this decision. Tolkien tried to create a version of mythology to rival the Nordic and Mediterranean legends. In Tolkien’s world Numenor is the Atlantis myth, fleshed out with details that overlapped and intertwined with Anglo-Saxon…

I don’t think it’s a sudden realization. Fox News highlights a huge faultline in liberal democracies like ours.

I have to say that I like this choice. And I would argue that rather than ill-conceived the DU was ill-executed.

What’s the over and under for Kushner breaking? Don Jr?

Not to be dissuaded from his drosiphilian ambitions, Eric Stoltz eventually did end up playing son of Brundelfly in the Fly II. Coincidentally, his character was named Martin Brundel.

For what it’s worth I think the casting is really encouraging. Not only do these actors have the chops but their agreeing to star speaks to the confidence they have in the director.

So now she thinks Vladimir Putin is god?  

It’s not correct that he doesn’t get feedback, or at least he should unless he figured out how to intentionally bypass it. The most recent updates to Autopilot nag the driver quite frequently, at about 30 second intervals. Simply holding your hand on the steering wheel is insufficient to prevent the nag- there has to…

It’s easy to jump to the conclusion from watching videos like this that the driver actually decided to take a nap versus just dozing off. In the latter case this could have happened in any car except the video would be a wreck instead of this idiotic scene.

The flip side of this is another layer of what irks me about the Snyder endeavor.This Superman was written with the depth of an MTV video, as were all the characters in the film. Like was pointed out in the article, Snyder doesn’t get what it is to make a human character.

I keep thinking that the punchline to this mess is going to be Sanders responding to a devastating Mueller report by stating that it was never Trump who conspired with Russians, committed treason to get elected, or was involved in the roughly 300 counts of obstructing justice (and climbing).

I’m not quite as negative but I can see where the disappointment is stemming from. Discovery does have a problem with it’s crew in that many of them have been very poorly fleshed out in the first season. It’s weird to be watching a Star Trek show and not know who is who at the consoles, especially since they are so…

If you want free groceries all you have to do is put on your MAGA hat.  It’s well known how philanthropic Trump’s supporters, and indeed Trump himself through his not so corrupt and unfairly persecuted charity, are to the people they’re screwing over.

I agree- I’ve been a vocal critic of a lot of his work for a long time, mostly because he seems to have a misplaced faith in his audience that leads him to choose cheap thrills over substance.

Big bonuses for Spanky is that federal prison comes with it’s own wall and that he gets free clothes in his favorite color.

Thanks for the review- I had been looking forward to this show and am disappointed to hear that it’s yet another promising story that may have been diluted into an incoherent loosely associated mess. These shows frequently seem to be made with what the show creators think (erroneously) what the audience may want…

I’ll modify on this idea and argue that a wall should be built around Trump and certain members of his administration. We give the occupants big, orange jump suits to honor Trump and take the sign off the building that reads “Federal Penitentiary.”  Problem solved- MAGA.

This may not be as out of the blue as it may appear. The Scepter was doodad that at the time was probably heavily heavily influenced by the popularity of the LoTR’s trilogy.

Nobody should give this guy a pass. Just yesterday he wrote that he believes it is right for Trump to appoint conservative judges. This is purely Nixonian and fundamentally misguided.

“We’re being deluged with resumes, really impressive resumes,” incoming House Intelligence Committee chair (and target of Trump’s ire) Rep. Adam Schiff told CNN.
