If you're from Yakima, I guess you've got two choices: write about humorous children's foibles (Beverly Cleary) or write about gruesome murders (Ann Rule)

I'm gonna be the brave one here and admit that I did not realize that until now.

That'll be good for Rogue One.

Those things are nice but I think I'd rather have a game that has a quarter of the features that the prequel from ten years ago had.

That's fair. But I'd also like to point out that it's especially easy to see resemblances in movies that share characters, props and overarching narratives. Plus, the movies that moved the farthest away from that structure are not exactly looked upon kindly.

He's having his training completed, that's what's going to happen . . .

Yeah. I personally enjoyed all the trial testimony but they could definitely have cut lots of it.

Well, Steven Avery wasn't convicted because of a confession. Plus I doubt that kid was going to remember something like that. Even normally functioning people don't usually grasp that they can tell the cops that they don't want to talk to them anymore.

It's worth remembering that the crime took place in the middle of nowhere ten years ago. I really doubt there was a cell tower anywhere nearby, much less any useable evidence from one.

Plus the victim's family is usually surrounded by cops and prosecutors that will tell them all about how they've "got the right guy." You really can't blame a family for not going against that.

I preface this by saying I have a cat and a dog and I love them more than most humans I know, but I'm going to be the bad guy here and say that cats are not people. Different cultures attach different values to different animals. Poor, undereducated people tend to not value impractical "pet" animals very much. It's…

Well, the two lawyers probably didn't have the opportunity to hire a forensic team to go through the third burn pile, since it was probably already scoured by the Manitowoc cops by the time the lawyers arrived on the scene.

I would want those dudes defending me. Buting's acerbic, tough questioning of witnesses and his attention to detail and Sprang's more philosophical and emotional monologues — I'd watch a TV show about those guys.

My wife marathoned his Five Nights at Freddy's reviews, and I was also very confused as to why he's a "big deal." He seems like the most generic LPer I've ever seen. My only praise for him is that he's not Pewdiepie.

Also it's not sixty, I just picked it up for 40. I think it's a Christmas sale thing though.

Adam Driver's not bad, but he's no Oscar Isaac. LORDY

If it was a prequel or a (new) Star Trek movie, they would've gotten him to say that something was a trap. Thank God that restraint won out and it came off as a fun, nostalgic cameo and not as, you know, suck.

I'm bisexual, how much of a vote do I get?

It was pretty silly I agree, but it was worth it for Han's tossed off remark about blowing it up. Plus the fact that it sets the stage for the actual, emotional climax of the movie instead of muscling in on your attention too much.

Same here. I was too excited about seeing interesting, relatable and entertaining characters in a blockbuster to worry about the fan service. I've SEEN too much fan service: I saw Terminator: Genisys.
