Having a temperature system for normal Earth humans that only ranges from -10 to 30 degrees makes no objective sense. Centigrade units is the only part of the metric system that I have serious problems with.

And I call it centigrade because it sounds cooler.

Yes, though 0 being freezing makes some good sense, I think.

Also, the weather you describe sounds like where I am. You in the northeast?

If you flip a map upside down, then, yes, I am in the northeast. Otherwise, no.

That area of the country does sound lovely, though.

It is usually quite nice at this time of the year in particular. Except it’s rained almost everyday of the week for the last four weeks or so.

How does one misspell “gray”? As someone from Georgia, is it implying the distinction between “gray” and “grey” cause I totally use either spelling.

Yeah it’s not based on how often it’s misspelled, just how often the spelling is looked up. So if one is wondering which it is, that’ll make them look it up (I believe the proper American one is “gray”).

Meh, the quality of the impression wasn’t what made me cringe so much as his overall vibe. He seemed really unduly pleased with himself. Anyway, to address the difference between impressions and acting, can you imagine if Chris Pine had done a Shatner impression for his Kirk? That’s what Ingruber as Han would amount to.

This Han Solo exists in same timeline as OT and is not a reboot of the entire franchise.

So that means that a young version needs to be an imitation?

I’m with joe. No thanks.

No, it is a generally bad idea to recast this character period.

Whoops my bad. Yeah they should have got Ford to play him with the CGI that de-aged Leia so convincingly.

Or I guess they shouldn’t have made the movie at all because there’s no possibility whatsoever that anyone could ever make a good Han - Solo movie period.
