And yet Prodigy handled him wonderfully!

But yeah, not sure lightning strikes twice, especially with the live action track record

Star Trek: Upper Decker

Mike “my son controls my” Johnson

So remind me, there was the big circus getting the collateral to put up just to make the appeal many months ago, but the appeal is now just being made? Or was the first appeal rejected by the judge and the verdict is now being appealed to a higher court? When will this buffoon run out of options to appeal?

Engoron sanctioned five Trump lawyers $7,500 each in September 2023 for “repeating these frivolous arguments” after they were rejected by courts multiple times.

Also what penalties are there for his lawyers gunning up the system with these endless, baseless appeals?

This one got me puzzled, so I googled it and the best I could find is

Some are as simple as claiming that the man in the comic is blind, explaining why the newspaper is blank and that he possibly mistook a bowl of meat for a bowl of fruit. Other theories are as deep as thinking that the comic is meant to symbolize the mistreatment and deterioration of the American middle class by the upper crust. Whichever theory is correct is still up in the air, but one thing is for certain is that no one truly knows what this strip is about.

I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel at Starfleet Academy!

Thank you! These are always fantastic. Please keep them up!

Finished season 2 yesterday: wow! Hands down the best run of trek we’ve had in 25 years. Hope Netflix bites on another season or 3

Do they not trust that we can remember it’s Star Wars without trotting out the same tired characters?

Poodoo!

Whoosh

But ANH came out 20 years before the prequels, and therefore it’s the prequels that are inconsistent with the established character?

I’ve had it up to here with these missing wigs!

I…have had…enough…of YOU!!

Yeah, oof indeed

Ass:The Final Frontier

I’m enamored with these old models and techniques. Light And Magic on D+ is a phenomenal retrospective of ILM. Through watching that, I learned recently that the Mandalorian’s ship was, in fact, a physical model. Presumably enhanced and composited using CGI.

Nevertheless, it was a weird realization. There is an old charm to the techniques of the 80s, matte lines and all. Even with the same approach (physical models and motion control), the shots in the Mandalorian just looked too clean, too smooth.

The moral is: it’ll never go back to what it was, and even if it does, it won’t be the same.

Sorry to say, but the “second coming” that is Dave Filoni is a pox on the franchise. He took the worst of Lucas’s indulgent tendencies (world building over character building, crappy dialogue, aiming solely at kids, elevating Campbellian mythology into quackery like midichlorians and space whales) and somehow managed to take over the whole franchise. I simply cannot fathom the loyalty of the fan base to this guy, barring those who grew up with cartoons and the typical misogynistic knee jerk to Kathleen Kennedy. He has churned out 4 series of pure shite

Andor and TLJ were bright spots but I’ve more or less moved on from Star Wars. Let them earn back my interest. In the interim, I’ll continue to slay in the fantastic Dark Forces remaster

She’s loaded with meat! She’s got more meat than a cow!

Leela: Space bandidos have been operating in this quadrant so you’ll each take 8-hour shifts guarding the safe. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Wait, hold on. I don’t like the sound of that. Let’s just go alphabetically

Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Wait, let’s go by rank.

Leela: OK. First Bender, then Flexo, then Fry.

Fry: Flexo outranks me?

Flexo: That’s “Flexo outranks me, sir”!

Pretty gutted at this news, but as others have pointed out, this move may cement LD as a classic without outstaying their welcome. And hopefully there is a desire for more animated Trek now

She’s built like a steakhouse but she handles like a Bistro!
