  1. My mom also talked about the show when I was a kid. We eventually watched some episodes but I think my mom didn't think it held up as well 50+ years on. But we still enjoyed them. Someday I'll probably watch the whole series.
  2. Clarence Williams III, appeared in a lot of things, but may be still identified highly with his early role as Linc from the seminal 60's show THE MOD SQUAD.
  3. You have to have 5 posts (I think its 5), but posts in WOT don't count towards your post total.
  4. FWIW, I remember bloggy...
  5. I haven't seen Stewart in a lot, but I did like her in UNDERWATER, but it was kind of an actor-proof role.
  6. New thread:
  7. Old thread: Last few posts: The Lighthouse was an odd film. Not quite the slam-dunk of The VVitch, I thought, but still really good and in places quite Lovecraftean. I'll be interested in seeing Eggers' THE NORTHMAN when it comes out next year(?).
  8. I tried to cut my hair once. By the end of it I was sweating like I had been wrestling a mule, and my hair looked like the mule had been armed with particularly dull set of hedge-clippers...
  9. TNG Relics Scotty! But...why in the Star Trek universe are people being forced to retire? I liked the Engineer-by-choice vs Engineer-by-career-path between Scotty and Geordi, and the episode is a lot of fun. I do wish though that Guinan had been at the Bar rather than Data; I wish that they'd kept the Troi scene, and it's a shame that Worf and Scotty didn't get a scene.
  10. I was just using the quote I quoted, this just illustrates how limiting the ruling is.
  11. If he had the assurance, he wouldn't be breaking the court order. Essentially the court says that he can express his dissatisfaction with things provided he doesn't do it to the media or on a public forum (social media) and that anyone he tells assures him they will also not tell the media or a public forum. Yup. Person A assures the dad that he won't tell the media or social media what he says. Dad vents. Person A goes to the media and says "Dad says this". Dad is arrested and charged with contempt of court. He says "Person A assured me". Person A says "I did not". Without a document, its their word against one another. Because the court said "“This order should not restrict C.D.’s right to express his opinion in his private communications with family, close friends and close advisors," and yet, it practically does since he has no way to meet the criteria established by the court without the potential of it going south for him OTHER than not speaking OR getting family, close friends and close advisors to sign legal documents (also, its a false statement anyhow since he's barred from expressing his opinion to his child which would, by definition, be part of his family so the whole statement is a "look we're not infringing on any rights here, honest!" kind of statement). Do I think he should have been jailed? No. You can't legislate people to be nice or smart or empathetic.
  12. Which means the assurance is worthless, as legally it becomes his word against theirs that those assurances were provided.
  13. The assurance thing is from your quote: "and provided C.D. obtain assurances from those with whom he shares information or views that they will not share that information with others,"
  14. Numbers is a mod, he's asking for a justification as to why this needs a separate thread from the existing political thread, or if you prefer - why shouldn't this thread be merged with the existing one that covers this same area. I am curious about this as well. How does he prove that he had their assurance? Seems like anyone who wanted to, could set him up - assuring they will not share it then doing so. Also, if the 'public forum' include social media, he pretty much can't talk to anyone.
  15. Old thread: Last few posts:
  16. Because I'm not going to get HBO Max to watch it? ... And what isn't convincing about not wanting to watch something if the trailer doesn't look good and you didn't like a similar work from the same creator?
  17. Because the trailer looked awful and I didn't like that RUNAWAYS arc?
  18. No. I'm pretty sure its Joss Whedon trying to have a second go at the "Victorian-era women with superpowers" ideas he had for his messy and unsatisfying arc in Marvel's RUNAWAYS comic.
