I love this. Where’s the bar?

I have seen an abundance of reviews trashing Borderlands. What I haven’t seen are criticisms with observations or judgements I agree are the sign of a bad movie. So I’m ambivalent. I want to see Deadpool and Wolverine more, and the new Alien movie more, but I love the idea of a Guardians style...

This is going to seem horribly out of place, but I’m putting it here because it’s a series of fabulous observations about the process of adaptation and the issue of respecting the source. One of the great observations here, is that modern screen writing often approaches a property with the...

Make Star Wars Great Again! I dunno, but a kids series might be just the thing at this point. Something wholesome everyone can get behind. George always wanted to be kid oriented and I can’t think of a better formula than “Goonies in space”. View: https://youtu.be/-bSoHjSzxEg?si=YWm8P_YTGvNqPaXv

It’s being called both the best movie of the year, and the best movie of the franchise. Astonishing! View: https://youtu.be/hDlv6BUEK8k?si=4M9eW3toMqQUQgPQ

How do we know the writers never played a video game? Was there a press release to that effect? This had a $100M budget so would be in the black if it grosses $200M. I don’t think it’s out yet, so a little early to say it failed.

They’re saying bad writing. View: https://youtu.be/_CVc6Pkh9QE?si=LpPLCpio6XM99y9W

I was so surprised by this I went and looked it up on my own. View: https://youtu.be/Ez5jRMVMozk?si=qsQmnwOGRnVf5bqa Turns out what they’re saying is true. You’d think Disney stock would be up with Deadpool and Wolverine just breaking the $1B mark, but no. It is down. It’s down to its lowest...

Looks like Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, in space. View: https://youtu.be/Icnysn53neU?si=5oUKsMMO86-tbcWt

As with most reviews of reviews, this is mostly nameless people sharing their judgements without any real substance concerning what they liked or didn’t. One substantive claim is that this is a Guardians of the Galaxy rip-off. Well that’s what it looked like from the trailer, and why I’m...

That would be a first. Yes, discrimination is unAmerican. Real Americans like Martin Luther King fought so his kids would be judged by their character (merit) rather than by the color of their skin.

Naff if you’ll recall, our first blow up happened when you were lying through your teeth and gaslighting everyone, telling them to believe what their eyes tell them is not so. We have been through this plenty enough. If you want to understand what is wrong with the notion of equity as opposed...

No Naff, you argued from the dictionary. No philosopher is stupid enough to do such a thing. I can multiply the examples. I’m making a positive claim. DEI is discrimination that replaces merit with grievance identification. You are making a negative claim. You are saying this doesn’t happen. I...

My friend is a Process Engineer in aerospace. He was thrilled his daughter wanted to go to school close to home, at UC Davis, but since she couldn’t get in, he sent her to Penn State with her two older sisters. The point remains, she was denied access to a school she was very overqualified for...
