I don’t know what was going on in George’s head, but I can make something up real quick.

WARNING: COMPLICATED AND STUPID MENTAL GYMNASTICS AHEAD

(ignoring the PT entirely)

1. Anakin’s last name was originally Lars, but being “the best star pilot in the galaxy,” he earned the nickname/title Skywalker.

2. Luke, not appreciating his nickname of Wormie, took the nickname he heard associated with his father because it’s much cooler.

Besides, he’s not called Doctor Man anyway.

Ryan Johnson’s excellent fan-made Dr Who films from the 1980s featured a superb Doctor played by a woman. No problem AFAIK.

Huh. Where can I find these?

I was trying to avoid the new Doctor announcement to be somewhat surprised at the reveal, but okay then.

Nothing comes after ‘thrice’.

That’s not how the fource works.

This post didn’t get enough recognition.

Thanks

Is that a turd in the bottom left corner?

Even worse, it’s a turd voiced by Sir Patrick Stewart.

On the one hand, you don’t want to control children’s media diet so much that you’re basically deciding what they like. They should be their own person with their own interests.

On the other hand, you don’t want children to like crappy stuff. I can argue for both sides.

Disclaimer: I am not a parent.

Even if they saw and enjoyed it, they’d forget it fairly quickly. I’ve forgotten almost every non-Disney(/Pixar) movie I saw in theaters when I was little, and some of those I’m not even sure if I saw in theaters or if we waited for home releases.

I really liked the end credits in Homecoming. Not the credit scenes, which were just standard Marvel credit scenes, but the actual first segment of credits was pretty cool.

Could be worse. They could have picked The Angry Birds movie. 😉

At least someone had to buy the rights for that IP, which required some kind of effort put into it, and is more than I can say for Sing, and movies like it.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

It was pretty good. I had fun.

I’m in church and, for some God-forsaken reason, the sermon today is based on a bad, innocuous kids movie called Sing. Someone shoot me in the face please.

These are neat little shorts. The animation is fine, Daisy’s voice work is fine (the Leia actress, less so) and I liked the sandworm on Jakku — dune — desert planet.

Daisy isn’t a great voice actor in this but it was still a fun little story. I wonder if she had done VO work before.

She voiced the main character in the dub of Studio Ghibli’s ‘Only Yesterday’

The only possible reason watch this trash in any version.

FTFM

I have decades ago but I honestly couldn’t tell you which version. Great entirely fictional anthology series.

Perhaps today is the day I should try watching Independence Day: Independencier.

Nah.

FTFM

Star Wars: Tales from the New Republic by lots of people

Someday I’ll try to read through the entire Bible. Someday…

Everyone?

I don’t even know what the post-Frank Miller age is, but I certainly don’t care either.

Don’t lie, I saw you visiting the First Millerian Church of Batman on Sunday.

Everyone worships Batman in the post-Frank Miller age, but I think almost every DC hero could beat him, but “muh prep time.”

Side note: someone stop me from continually using “muh”

Nice, thanks for sharing. I had not heard about this and my girls enjoyed it. Here’s a trailer:

It’s great to see Disney continue to focus on female characters. One of the best things about their purchase of Lucasfilm.

B-b-b-but muh Mary Sues!

Woohoo happy 4th! I gripe sometimes, but I still think we’re the best country in the world, warts and all. Here’s to US, pun intended!

So, lame youngster problems below:

I went on a tour of a university campus today, and was accompanied by my crippling fears of screwing everything up in college and in life. I almost cried multiple times today. I’m exhausted.

You have both opinions and punctuation that I disagree with.

Don’t forget the capitalization.
