An astonishing video from CNN…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk99uQQGEok

Two members of the administration ranting at the press-core about the border wall and then CNN has the cheek to actually go off to the border and check the veracity of the rants.

It’s like the Trump administration believe they are living in a Stalinist regime where they control all the newspapers, radio and TV and can decide what is true and nobody will challenge them on it.

Fair play to the journalists who go out and check out lies told by politicians - the more investigative or fact-checking journalists the better - especially in the days of so many lies, mis-truths and misdirection proven to be continually coming out from those in power.

The fandom is more fractured now than before the new films.

I don’t think so. I think the vast majority are loving it. It’s just a very vocal minority who are unhappy.

It’s just a very loud minority, who must let their opinion be known be everyone.

Repeatedly so for some of them - whilst also trying to pass off their opinion as fact too.

‘President Trump’s first 100 days: The fact check tally’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/05/01/president-trumps-first-100-days-the-fact-check-tally/

exert from above article…

‘488: The number of false or misleading claims made by the president. That’s an average of 4.9 claims a day.
10: Number of days without a single false claim. (On six of those days, the president golfed at a Trump property.)
4: Number of days with 20 or more false claims. (Feb. 16, Feb. 28, March 20 and April 21.) He made 19 false claims on April 29th, his 100th day, though we did not include his interview with “Face the Nation,” since that aired April 30.’

How many of you have done a Rogue One - A New Hope back-to-back viewing? I very much want to do so sometime in May if i can find the time, but i am curious if those who have done so think it is worth it? (watching a movie is pretty easy to find time for, but watching two in a row takes a bit more ‘convincing’).

It’s great. I planned a big R1-OT-TFA marathon the weekend after the blu ray came out, but I didn’t have time for all of them and my ROTJ DE disc was scratched (it’s been replaced since then), so I only got those two. It was a lot of fun to watch those two back to back though, imagining Krennic belonging in one of those boardroom chairs, seeing Alderaan annihilated after the previous smaller blasts on Jedha and Scarif, things like that.

The more I watch Rogue one the more I notice little things like…

Game Of Thrones’ Ser Barristan Selmy (Ian McElhinney) playing General Dodanna

and Imperial General Hurst Romadi (the bald guy who is on Tarkin’s staff from Star Wars - sitting in one of those boardroom chairs) is also in Rogue one (played by a different actor obviously - Andy de la Tour 😃)

Seems she does a few con events and is well liked there too - apparently a sci-fi fan as well 😃

I thought she was great in Firelfly and later Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles (both had a lot of potential) - seems she did an episode of Castle not long ago too which sounds like fun.
