They make Lifetime quality D grade movies w/crap production values, terrible acting, and awful writing. That's why they're lame.


Go watch Young Washington and get back to us.

Recently rewatched Northern Exposure and they mention him several times.

Just got out. Surprisingly good. Theater was packed. It would be hilarious if it beat out Super Girl. Not sure they have it on enough screens though.

I felt like this was a great show until the other shows in the universe forced them to go into a more supernatural direction. When it was akin to Nolan’s Batman real world action it was in its stride. But the expanding universe knocked it off course.

re: To HELL with ACB......

I’ll get downvoted to hell but here it goes. I’ve come to the conclusion that if I always agree with the supreme court justices on my side of the isle then they are probably just hacks driven my ideology and not judging the law. The left leaning justices will almost always come to the conclusion that gives their side the outcomes they want. The justices that lean right will most often judge the law on constitutionality. They will let me down sometimes with the outcome but at least i know they tried to do their jobs. I disagree whole heartedly with the birthright decision. But that doesn’t mean ACB is a left wing turn goat. Give me a break.
I always felt like Family Man was an underrated performance. He played that part very well.
It really depends on if the role fits him. He can be terrible or incredible depending on if the part fits his quirkiness.
They did great on this last season. Got back to what originally made the show so good.
I just listened to a podcast with the creator. It is interesting that a bigger deal isn't being made about her being a woman. That is as it should be. When the work is superb, you don't need to prop it up with identity politics. It simply stands on its own. I appreciate more that fact that she is female when it is not being shoved down my throat. Also, she is pretty funny in person. I get why she has been successful as a comedy writer.

I’m sure it is quite expensive to have a car shipped to the island, and since most of the people can’t leave the island shopping for a new car is probably hard also.


Not to mention, if you can't leave a small Island, imagine how few miles you would put on a car.
Imagine the fatal flaw of trying to propagate an ideology that, at its very center, disdains reproduction. If conservatives could solve the problem of higher education indoctrination, the future would belong to them, and it wouldn't even be close.

Pam gets a lot of shite for being a bitch in the later seasons and rightfully so,


But the thing I never get about this criticism is that in the finale, she essentially realized that she had been being a bitch and corrected herself. It is called a character arc, and even though it was a comedy, the office was not afraid of more complicated character arcs.
I apologize in advance for this take. Something always hangs me up on SuperGirl. It seems her character always has pierced ears. How do they do that? Is there a special Kryptonite ear piercer? Seems like a lot of trouble.

Companies need to be about business and nothing more.


I call this the Tommy John’s approach. Turn on a right wing podcast and you’ll hear their advertisements. Turn on a left wing podcast and you’ll hear their advertisement. Try to get them to take a side and they shrug and say “We sell underwear, what do you want from us?” Then eventually everyone leaves you alone and lets you sell underwear. It’s not that hard.
I mean, I’ve certainly seen worse stuff put out by Disney.
I figured this happened a while back, so I don't really see it as breaking news. He will eventually land on being loosely associated with the Democrats.

Braveheart is a top 5 movie of all time


No. But it would be in the top 5 of my most beloved movies of all time. The top 5 movies of all time do not have to be the same list as one's personal favorite movies of all time. Those can be very different lists.
I think people assume too often that our enemies are like us. We actually care about having a working society and prefer that our nation should excel on every front. The people in charge of Iran care nothing about their society, they only care about power. Whether they sit in power of a functioning society or a pile of ashes and corpses of their people makes them no difference. It’s hard to make a group of thugs cry uncle when they are soulless and care about nothing. We fear losing a couple of soldiers, the don't bat an eye at thousands of their own countrymen dead. Bombing a country to hell only works with a rational enemy.

Is the book better than the movie? Because I absolutely LOVED the movie


The things that happen are very similar but you get more detailed science in the book. If you loved the movie you’ll feel the same about the book. It’s a particularly good audio book.
It seems these days when something comes out with an overwhelming positive reception it’s not too long before there is a turn and a lot of haters come out. It’s a strange phenomenon that I don’t remember happening in days gone by.
