I was a sailor for ten years and visited 55 cities in 29 countries...you need to travel more and hang out less in bars that feature tapas on the menu.

I’ve seen two unprovoked stabbings and we bloodied a dude in Jamaica who attempted sexual assault on a Canadian college girl in the same 3 month period.

You have good friends!

I unabashedly love this movie. My Dad took me to see it in the theater three times, after we bumped into my Orthodontist in the mall and he excitedly recommended it to us.

I wish more word of mouth had gone around as it deserved to do better at the box office.

I respectfully disagree with you.

It was telegraphed, trite, but gorgeous behold on screen.

I know it’s crazy talk, but I’m actually hoping Rey is, somehow, a Kenobi.

It might explain why she’s just good with melee weapons even without the Force.

Having read both novels I don’t see your comparison as being valid, besides the fact they are both set on the Moon and there is industry present.

Not even close, in fact. Did you just want to take a quick pit stop and bust Heinlein’s chops and Libertarian outlook?

Considering the age of the Heinlein novels already and the fact they are still discussed and relevant, I have to disagree with you.

I get that you don’t like Heinlein, loud and clear.

Do you want to buy some deathsticks?

Maybe it’s a dead, giant brain world similar to those in, “Midnight at the Well of Souls” but a digital one...with a silicon...structure?

Yes, yes. I’m sure of it.

Up to your old Excalibur tricks again, eh, Centauri?

I realize this doesn’t play to many, but the ships are characters too in these stories, all the way from C.S. Forester to Star Trek.

She has a soul and life given her by her builders and the sailors on her, for ill or for good.

Killing them off means something to sailors. It’s like a gut-punch. It pulls at you when…

Didn’t Shatner-Kirk go his entire career without getting the Enterprise shot out from underneath him?

If I recall, she was decommissioned and he was an Admiral and not a ship driver any longer when she blown up in a self-destruct and immolated?

Hot, wet, nasty garbage.

Sick motorcycle jumps and the Beastie Boys. Yeah.

No.

The only reason I didn’t walk out of Into Dumbness was because my buddy paid for my ticket.

I don’t even have to waste anyone’s time or money with this one.

R.I.P. Star Trek

Ah yes. I remember the “Battle Short” toggle switch on the UYK-7 computer!

“Who cares if it burns, it just has to work long enough for us to get a ballistic solution!”

(I was an FC as well)

The old Conch houses in Key West are over a century old, wooden, and assembled with foot-long wooden pegs instead of nails.

They stand through every hurricane, even as modern condos and buildings crumble, fall over, or implode.

THERE IS NO DANA, ONLY ZUUL.

I am of the opinion that the Emperor is going to kill her with force lightning, in front of Vader...who later on, uses it for fuel to save his son from the same fate.

Ugh. He’s just so....fast!

There is precedent for Hawkman to be a jerkface in the comics.

I recall Oliver Queen, who gravitates to the Left in the comics, haranguing Hawkman and his conservative, almost jack-booted outlook and actions.

Of course, Oliver called cops “blue pigs” and “fascists” as well.

Although I skew slightly conservative, it was…

Part 3 is a fantastic Western and features a conclusion to a trilogy that is both excellent with closure and features a hopeful and fun future, off-screen, for the beloved characters.

I have to disagree with you.
