Yeah, I’ve been low-key mulling how to fix the plot of this film, and while I can’t exactly see the film without the bear, the best thing I can come up with is to delete the incompetent witch, have the curse come from the tearing of the tapestry alone, turn the King into the bear instead of the Queen, and have the

But if they are corrupting the symbols of our country, you don’t just toss the synbol aside - you reclaim it. You don’t just say “that asshole abused an important symbol so I never can use it again”.

One would indeed, consulting only the historical record, think so.

The Captain Ron classic blunder . . .

It’s been a while since I last consulted a “Don’t Tread On Me” flag, but I’d swear there’s no asterisk on them that exempts parody. The message is pretty clear-cut, and these guys definitely seem like the kind of people to fly said flags.

I admit I haven’t seen the film in some time; it’s one of those “classics” I made sure to watch when I was in my early 20's and trying to become something of a film buff. But it didn’t grab me the way that Casablanca did, and I haven’t ever revisited it.

. . . No conversation about sleds with President Zod then, I see.

I’m in the minority, but I honestly loved the heck out of the film, even though the seams in the film are fairly evident. The “plot”, such as it, is needlessly convoluted, because Act 2 is basically a big plot snarl to hide the ball from Merida about the very-obviously-symbolic way to remove the curse, so that there

It even has the Pixar Tears moment (at least for me - when the cart gets smashed up. Well, sniffles rather than tears).

Ball shots may be low comedy, but even so, I have rarely seen low comedy executed as well as Presto!

“I built ten ships, but do they call me Seamus the shipbuilder? No!

Yeah, I haven’t actually seen the film, largely because even I could not work up the courage to face the clerk at Blockbusters with Showgirls in hand. But I have seen much of Vorhoeven’s work, and I’ve seen his most comparable satire Starship Troopers many times over the years. Which makes me very certain that

And they did that when the title Jinglier all the Way was right there, too . . .

. . . If those came with a noose that you bolted to the inside roof of the car, that might improve the safety function of the seats.

I personally like to think of them as pretzels that decided to settle after two years of college didn’t work out for them.

It pretty much goes without saying at this point, but if we could turn cognitive dissonance into a fuel source, and keep Trump locked up in perpetuity, we wouldn’t need a sun any more. Regardless, this is just another case of how if Trump is talking, Trump is finding some way to resolve the mess of contradictions that

The paper’s controversial top opinion editor James Bennet issued a mea culpa, claiming he let his section be “stampeded by the news cycle,” and confessed that the backlash had inspired him to rethink the op-ed section entirely.

Strictly speaking, both Man of Steel and Captain America: The First Avenger are origin stories, so it’s not that. It’s that origin story or no, you have to give the audience a reason to believe in the what the hero is trying to do. It’s not enough to just say “Hey, they like the IP, or they wouldn’t be here”.

Working my way through Witcher 3 myself. Once I’m done, on to Red Dead Redemption, then Red Dead Redemption 2.

“Nobody’s ever done for the black community what President Trump has done,” Trump said, boasting investment into historically black colleges and dubious opportunity zones that act as more of a boon to predatory developers than working-class black people.
