Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

We’re not going back!

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

“woke” is the new caravan.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

You cannot shame the shameless.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

    Batman looks pretty damn good. At any rate, NOTHING could be worse than Arnold as Mr. Freeze… Scarecrow is one of the most underrated villains around too…

    I was *very* disappointed. I’ve already hashed it out elsewhere, but I will say my expectations were not very high and I still thought it bit.

    I liked it quite a bit, much better than the “The Clone Wars” one. It was also much, much better than the other movie I saw this week. Madagascar. I thought Madagascar was incredibly tedious. (My 10 year old son liked it though)

    I loved Revenge of the Sith, and I just got back from Batman. Go see it. It is easily the best comic movie ever, and I’m a fan of comic movies.

    Go! Go to this movie! It’s fantastic! It’s intelligent, respectful of not only Batman but of the other characters, and actually grounds the mythos in something recognizibly human.

    I didn’t think anyone could be as good a Batman as Keaton (who was a revelation in the role) but Bale does one hell of a job. And the other characters are a treat to see in action. Freedman, Oldman, Neeson, Watanabe (who I wished had had a bigger role), Hauer (ditto) – oh, Nolan had some prime actors, and he used them really well. Murphy as Dr. Crane is a revelation, too: so pretty, and so creepily evil.

    Go. You’ll like it.

    Sin City is the best comic movie evrer. This is a close second. Entirely differing approaches, but still, outlining the essential qualities we like within.

    Saw Batman lasr night.

    Good movie(better than SW3). It is not campy.
    It is not non-stop action.

    Word to parents, the PG-13 is well earned.

    The worst part of SW3 was the “NOOOOOOOO” part at the end.

    It just seemed too “small” for the significance of the event. It fell flat.

    After all that volcanic backdrop action, this seminal event happens in a little room that appears to be a storage closet.

    It kinda had the feeling of a TV commercial set. As if Palpatine was telling Vader that the store was out of Mountain Dew or Double Stuffs.

    “NOOOOOO!”

    It is going to be the best Batman movie by far. Definitely see it.

    BTW, that “NOOOOOOO!” scene in Star Wars was physically painful for me to watch. So bad.

    I have to say, though, that a really kickass movie could have been made, of Obi-Wan’s adventures with Kit Fisto.

    I was left wishing Ewan Macgregor had been allowed to inhabit the role in a better film.

    I loved the 3rd Star Wars, but still… If Yoda was in a Prison relationship, his green ass would be the bitch.

    Really in all of the Star Wars… he didn’t fight Darth Maul, He couldn’t beat Douku, and he couldn’t beat Darth Sidious, and he never fought Vader.

    Hell, Sam Jackson beat the Sidious, it was only with an Illegal tag from Anakin that Sidious won that battle.

    I hate saying it. But Yoda is useless.

    Sure his jumping around looked cool, but you have to account for effectiveness, and Yoda was completely ineffective.

    Thank god he went to that Swamp planet, if he had tried to right any wrongs, he would have been smashed like Frogger.
