I hope your optimism carries.

It’s like an episode of How It’s Made, but without showing how it’s made.

I was one of the doubters, but having relented, I find Rebels to be just about my favorite Star Wars project. It’s so well-executed.

I apologize, I wasn’t replying TO your sentiment, just splicing onto it. There’s entire legions who will white knight for a talented director (Polanski?) because of the integrity of their art, but wouldn’t think twice about telling a guy at an open mic that he sucks. And if I ever find that guy, I’m doing 5 minutes of…

I dunno, they used to make a big deal about Hitchcock, etc. But they didn’t do press junkets and interviews to 35 million media outlets where every single day for months (years?) ordinary people got ever more insight into the development process, what was left behind and why, what was considered and never done, and so…

You think not? I’ve got all the figures, recording equipment and editing software. Access to kids, even. This shit is completely unregulated.

I like how it’s an affront to art to voice displeasure with what a director has done with a film, but it’s perfectly alright to boo a comedian, a musician, a mime.

Yeah, I work for Minor League Baseball. I know exactly what the numbers mean. That’s still more TICKETS DISTRIBUTED than any other game; whether people used the tickets or not, they still took the tickets. The narrative is still hollow as shit.

Let’s see if this tracks.

Kris Kross. Color Me Badd. Atlantic Starr.

Good tip, I’ll be sure to tell every teacher my kids have had since they were 4 and see if they stop sending these little snowflake grenades back with their students every year.

Oh man, how did this not happen? And as a broader question, if nobody replied to Leia’s call for help... doesn’t that pretty much mean the entire Resistance is crammed into one ship? At that point, they aren’t a Resistance so much as they are a rowdy group of protesters.

Reverse thrusters! Damage control!

I liked how TLJ showed just how badly the previous generation has failed the current generation, and that’s why there are so many problems. It’s not Kylo Ren’s fault that he killed a bunch of kids and his Dad and a bunch of other people, it’s Luke’s for not having an insurance program that would cover psychological…

So... where do you think the word ‘fan’ comes from?

That’s the other thing that bothered me about Holdo’s plan: no matter what happened, she was ultimately going to die, so why not pull the ram much, much sooner?

Holding the Rebellion or the Resistance to the standard of how a ‘real military’ would handle a situation is kind of an insult to actual military forces. The capital ship is the first to come out of hyperspace? Their massive shielded bunker only has one (known) entrance? The defenses to that single entrance are…

“Fire in the hole! Uh... hopefully!”

I dunno, an in-home basketball arcade game may be just the thing to kick my heart attack into gear and usher in sweet release.

But why the hell would there be ANY social media sharing option on porn? Who would share porn? “Hey, here’s a picture of the kids getting ready for soccer. Here’s a photo of a pumpkin we carved. Here’s what I jerked off to last night. Here’s my thoughts on the Bears’ QB situation.”
