The Final Countdown I think it was made in 1980. I've seen it before, but not for a long, long time. It still holds up. It's an interesting potential alt-history flick that backs off at the last minute to let history play out as it was "meant to." A modern aircraft carrier passes through...

And it won't matter. I'm talking about end results. Trump, McConnell, Hannity*, they can all say whatever they want. The world is their blank page to write upon and their fictions will render them no ill consequences. No past or current acts, no proof of dishonesty and self-dealing will bring...

No it won't. He'll just say some stuff and that'll be that. There's no argument he's going to have to make about factual matters or anything else having to do with reality. He won't have to answer for what he says. He could say for example, "A fire demon swept through Barr's office and done...

I don't think it matters. Trump/GOP/Trumptards got the first shot of "No Collusion!" out of the cannon. Removal via the impeachment process is essentially hopeless, and any prosecution of Trump for his crimes is going to have to wait until at least late January of 2021 (e.g. by the State of...

He's still the biggest piece of shit to have ever been elected* POTUS. We still have obstruction, at least two felonies committed in connection with Michael Cohen/campaign finance, at least two emoluments cases winding their way through the courts, human rights abuses at our southern border...

Well, if Trump is somehow not guilty of conspiring with the Russians (in multiple instances), and if his actions didn't rise to the level of obstruction, then nobody could've planned any better to make it look like that shit did happen. It took either: 1. A highly sophisticated plot to make...

Because it really hurts. Often, men will go from living in a house to a small apartment because that's all they can afford. They see a significant portion of their paycheck going to the ex and understandably feel screwed. However, what they'll often forget to mention is that the order is...

If the Democratic party wants to show the world they've grown a pair, they'll put her front and center at the 2020 convention. She should be featured second only to the Presidential nominee (and possibly the VP choice). For fucking decades, they've allowed the GOP/Fox to dictate who was a safe...

It won't really matter. Unless some health issues arise, it looks like Bernie is going to cut a wide swath through the rest of the field. All the people who wanted him in 2016 still want him, and everyone who voted for Hillary will be glad to cast their vote for Bernie. Everyone else coming...

Let me tell you, and the press won't tell you this ladies and gentlemen, but hamberders are good for you. My uncle, who knew about the nuclear, and nobody knew how dangerous the nuclear was back then, you have all these people, and they all said, "No, you can't do that" but we did it. Better...

Boyhood I watched an actual good movie! I need to do more of this. There's no traditional plot in this movie. It simply covers a mother, her two children, and the father over the course of 11 years. One remarkable thing is that the movie was shot over 11 years using all of the same actors, so...

I found that to be the saddest/most infuriating part of the whole thing. They didn't ask a single question about Trump. I had held out a somewhat dim hope that when the time came, the Senate could be backed into enough of a corner to remove Trump from office. That's clearly not going to...

The OP began in lost territory and has only managed to become more lost since then.

I can't believe adults say things like this. It's the reasoning of a toddler--and a disingenuous toddler at that.

Bohemian Rhapsody It was okay. I understand that artistic license is often a necessary thing, but there were so many things in this movie that were wrong for no good reason. For example, the timeline of when albums came out, the phony breakup of the band, when Mercury knew that he'd been...
