If there’s one thing I know about sugar free candy, eating this stuff will probably turn your butt into a turd printer.

I feel like this lays bare a lot of the foolishness with this whole fiasco on Fisher’s part:

I was in complete agreement with everything you wrote, but you lost me with your disgusting taste in book covers. The only true Star Wars book is the one that recognizes Lobot as one of the main protagonists.

I cover all that in the article I link to in my sentence that you quoted.

He also hid the death of thousands and aggressively tried to convince people to cover it up. Is that enough?

Or what happened to journalists and the practice of journalism over the past twenty odd years as the media landscape got stripmined and reclaimed into whatever it is now. Integrated marketing communications? 

I am also a Gen Xer who saw the movie in the cinema when it was released — and, as a kid then (I would have been either 9 or 10 depending on time of year), I hated it too. Although it has been almost 40 years, I still have no desire to watch it again (or to have my kids watch it).

My jam that summer was The Thing, which I went to see five times.

Gen X here and I also hated ET, but mainly because I was expecting Star Wars level action...shoot, even Star CRASH level excitement. My mom and sister were both crying and I can remember being incredulous.

Yet Coupland’s blindspots are then attributed to the Generation as a whole, and then those blindspots are linked to the failure of political…

Should have gone with a driver.

Whats crazy is he voiced a redneck on The Cleveland Show

schrodinger says if they don’t watch the video, it’s both.

Also:

I think they may actually be making Agatha a villain in the MCU. Before the show even aired everyone predicted Agnes was Agatha. The showrunners were pretty open about which comics they were taking inspiration from and they’d likely predict everyone with knowledge of the comics would deduce Agnes was Agatha. By making…

That’s right! That might be the “Darkhold” an ancient book of spells from Marvel Comics. Good call.

Just so you know, when most people hear the term ‘gun grabber’ used unironically, they assume you’ve been indoctrinated, because no one outside of specific circles talks like this and aren’t an actual 13 year old making up names for the bad guys.

We have lobsters here... 

Oh no! you’ve exposed my master plan of seducing an actress by questioning some bullshit in the comments section of a dying entertainment news sight.
