I haven't seen Stewart in a lot, but I did like her in UNDERWATER, but it was kind of an actor-proof role.

New thread:

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(?).

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...

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.

I was just using the quote I quoted, this just illustrates how limiting the ruling is.

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.

Which means the assurance is worthless, as legally it becomes his word against theirs that those assurances were provided.

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,"

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.

Old thread: Last few posts:

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?

Because the trailer looked awful and I didn't like that RUNAWAYS arc?

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.

GA in addition to their recent voter stuff also passed a finance reform that allows incumbents to raise unlimited money, while same party challengers and the opposing party candidates through the primaries are still required to cap at the old limits (and allegedly rules independent parties as legally non-entities if a local libertarian candidates is to be believed...)

As I recall, the DiC dubbing sessions were long, and the original VA Tracey Moore was contractually obligated to a production that was going to limit her availability for recording, so DiC went with a different VA, Terri Hawkes, who wouldn't have any scheduling conflicts. Moore had replaced Hawkes on a different show DiC did, so they may have thought they'd ended up sounding similar, but I think the VA director may have changed as well.

Marvel comics side was pushing Inhumans (to spite Fox over X-Men) and Perlmuter forced Marvel films to add Inhumans. When Feige got pulled from reporting to Perlmuter, they allegedly dropped Inhumans in favor of Eternals. Marvel TV, still under Perlmuter's control, then announced the Inhumans-IMAX deal, where the pilot for the TV show would be shot for IMAX and premire theatrically, since Perlmuter felt they'd promised an Inhumans movie (naturally, it bombed in all formats, and I say that as someone who likes the Inhumans, comic book version).

The comics are from the 70s, with additional runs in the 80s and then a few revivals (including one by Neil Gaiman) starting in the late 2000s. In the comics, Mentor (the father of Starfox and Thanos), is a second generation Eternal, and the Celestials (briefly seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy film) are tied to the Eternals (essentially, the Eternals are experiments of the Celestials in the same way the Inhumans were experiments of the Kree (and the Kree were also experiments of the Celestials). This teaser trailer, IMO, is pretty tepid, there's no character beats to grab onto, and so there is no real tease about things that the viewer might like, like an interesting character or story point. There seems to be an emphasis on possibly a romance, but even that is so under represented that I'm not 100% sure that's the case. It is just a teaser, so maybe a full trailer will make me feel more interested.

Re: education, I think the studies showing how much money graduates make over their lifetime makes some people think its a magic bullet and go to college not really sure what they plan to do there or how much it might cost or what their post education goals. Back when I was a College advisor, I regularly saw students whose goal (quick degree then job because they needed skills to earn more money to support their family) would have been better served by a tech/voc school. If they wanted a liberal arts degree, they could always come back later when they were better positioned financially. There's really no right path, and coming to a liberal arts program because you want to is always going to be better than because you feel you have to, or worse because someone is 'making' you.

TNG Man of the People More like Dorian Gray of the People, amirite? It was...okay, but the Enterprise crew are kinda...oblivious.

That's just what THEY want you to think!
