Yep, once the Death Star is ready, they dissolve the senate and feel that they can do whatever they want.

Fear of the Death Star will keep everyone in line.


While that makes some sense, the Empire at this point has already murdered all the Jedi and wiped out the Wookie planet so it seems like they are being too cautious.
Andor is currently annoying the crap out of me. It has some good moments, but now the Empire is trying to trick the Ghorman people into rioting so they have an excuse to quell the riot, kill a bunch of people, and then exploit the planet's resources (although that sounds ripped from today's headlines)? The same empire that destroyed an entire planet (Alderaan) just to test the capabilities of its new Death Star?

This one is on sale at Costco for $27. 225 5 gram pieces:

Trivia question: there are several times that stills from another movie appear as background with video continuing in a smaller box...name the other movie.

I don’t really understand why they remake movies like this. It’s not needed and it proves that we are at a cultural dead end.


I agree with your overall sentiment but The Running Man '87 was a campy cheesy masterpiece that was not close to what Stephen King wrote. The new version is an action drama that is faithful to the original story. This is exactly the kind of movie that should be remade as it will be very different from the '87 version.
I make a 20 oz thermos of pour over coffee with cream in the morning and don't drink any after 10:30 a.m. I never drink soda or energy drinks, as those are bad for you and cause all kinds of problems. I will occasionally drink kombucha, which has a small amount of caffeine. Pretty sure nothing else in my diet contains caffeine. Cutting sugar out of my diet has solved my energy crashes during the day.

The failed kamikazi plot line was fantastic. Carried incredible messages. And the ingenuity of the people of Japan to take down insurmountable odds and defeat Godzilla.



Agree that was a really cool part of the story. ***SPOILERS*** Especially, opening up with the pilot and his fellow soldiers getting attacked on the island and the pilot freezing up. Japan trying to fight this thing w/ limited military resources forced them to be creative. Not sure what kind of plot this one will have but i hope it is somewhat similar to the first. Godzilla simply fighting other monsters is beneath this writer/director imo. Maybe they include the Soviets and American military. Minus One ends three years before the Korean War starts with a big American presence in Japan.
I guess they are trying to recreate the magic (i.e., money) they had with Infinity War/Endgame.
I read the books, got pissed off when i realized the fat f*&$k would never finish them, started the series and just could never get into it. I'm not sure if it was from the let down of the books, knowing the plot, or the fact that the battle scenes were largely left off screen.

With it being such a weak draft I wonder if that is what's best for him


He would most likely be a third round or later pick. The NFL still likes physical quarterbacks, but shorter players from rpo single read offenses mean he would be risky with a lot of development necessary. Dart started out well but is far from being a successful nfl quarterback, and corral absolutely flopped hard.
Screw you. This is one of America's biggest enimies and friends of China and Russia. Start bombing those bastards this is revenge.

Discovery Chanel won't shut up about their Pole to Pole seeries with Will Smith. They must have signed him to a two series deal because the Welcome to Earf series he did with them was terrible. Oh snap! That is a wild looking animal! David Attenborough he is not. Absolutely terrible choice. He cries at one point though.

Make sure to eat three meals a day even if its just some fruit for breakfast. Completely cut sugar out of your diet. It would be best cut out sugar AND any processed foods. Get to bed early and establish a consistent sleep schedule. During the day, move. That can be a walk outside or just a quick yoga routine in your office. Exercise on a regular basis.
