The first 5-10 minutes or so of Rogue One > The entire PT.

Metropolis (1927) (Whichever restoration was available on Netflix)

I Don’t Feel at Home in this World Anymore (2017)

Any movie that features Elijah Wood throwing ninja stars like a dork is a win in my book.

For the first six or so years of my life my family for whatever reason didn’t buy a DVD player and all we had was a VCR, and I’ve still got all my copies of the Star Wars films on VHS up on my shelf. Still looking for that Revenge of the Sith VHS though…

Now I want to watch Revenge of the Sith on a worn-out copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a pan and scan tape.

Not really from the time that he would have lived, but this more apt for the religion thread.

I think historians agree that Jesus did exist, whether he was the son of God and could perform miracles and rise from the dead is of course debated.

Whether he existed in a form resembling the biblical narrative is debated. Him being the song of God and performing miracles is debated but not really by historians.

I don’t think anyone believes he is the song of God.

Well, if he is the Word, and the Word was with God and the word was God and all as John 1 says, who’s to say God didn’t sing His Word?

Trump voter panelist: “If Jesus Christ gets down off the cross and told me Trump is with Russia, I would tell him, ‘Hold on a second. I need to check with the President if it’s true.’” https://twitter.com/NewDay/status/932579767202844672/video/1

That assumes he’s still on the cross…?!?

Did you know that Jesus has been nailed to that cross since 1973?

The Fifth Element (1997)

It’s fun.

The Eyes of Heisenberg by Frank Herbert.

Meh. It’s not nearly as engaging as his Dune work, and the biology technobabble makes it hard to follow.

CinemaWins > CinemaSins

^Agreed.

All the sabers should be green because green is the best color (especially when in lightsabers).

Since there’s a female The Doctor, why not a male The Rani?

RayRogers said:

So if the current Doctor is a woman, can The Rani be a man now? What about Romana?
Change it up a bit. TBH not even bothered by the news, just indifferent.

George Takei responds to allegations made against him…

Oof. Even Spacey’s response was better than this.

How so? The consensus seems to be Spacey outed himself as an excuse.

While that consensus is correct, he also, iirc, admitted that it was at least possible he committed the assault while drunk. Takei gave a flat denial. While looking into some of these claims, I stumbled upon this clip, which seems pretty terrible, almost damning, now.

The Stranger by Albert Camus (English translation, as I unfortunately don’t know French)

I read it as an assignment for my AP Literature class. I went ahead and read the whole thing tonight because it’s short, and found it occasionally amusing, but philisophically worthless.
