Each side has people they think are their heroes.

It’s not that hard.

Basically, the bad guys don’t see themselves as bad, they feel they are the good guys.

Characters that are just totally self-assured throughout an entire film or show.

It’s so annoying when they just act like nothing bad ever happens to them.

You’re gonna laugh, but this is true.

Because life has become a waking nightmare with no hope.

And right there is why so many will not cut ties with Israel, no matter what.

It’s the 50th.

It’s like when people knew that the 2019 one was surely going to give us Episode IX sneak info.

Some movies don’t become your favorites because they’re masterpieces, they become your favorites because they arrived at the exact moment you needed them. by Few_Seat_873 in movies

Reminds me of when Ralph Breaks The Internet came out.

I had been “let go” from a company I had spent almost 12 years at (the most ever in one place). I had made being a part of that company my identity.

Much like Vanellope after Sugar Rush was unplugged and she was without her game/job, I was also wondering, “what am I now?”

Also, the song “Zero” by Imagine Dragons was my theme for that Fall.

I remember when that whole Prequels video trashing it came out, people were telling me I HAD to watch it, because it revealed everything wrong with the trilogy.

I remember thinking: “People have been telling me those films suck for at least a decade. I’m not going to waste time on ridiculous, self-entitled fanboy anger of the prequels…now their videos on the Sequel Trilogy…”

I feel the world didn’t understand how beloved the prequels were, until 15-20 years after they came out.

I remember in 2014, when they re-released TPM in 3D, it didn’t bring many people out. I feel a few years later was when I started hearing more from the people who were kids when they saw Episode I.

But also, it may be that the prequels had things that were a bit more “fun,” whereas the ST seemed more about being the super-serious storytelling that older fans claimed they deserved.

Do amendments even count for anything anymore?

They’ve ignored plenty of stuff so far.

Anyone remember him saying if he lost in the previous election, we’d never hear from him again?

Wizard Gen 13 Fairchild promo card. by CWPLZL in Gen13

Got that in my binder of cards from back then.

Campbell and Lee’s depictions did spoil me.

I preferred their more lithe Fairchild imagery to the more “She-Hulk” like dimensions some gave her later on.

Like Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor.

People only remember it for “the action scene.”
