Yup, should close the border to the US, except for the movement of goods.

Went to Carne steakhouse restaurant on Saturday. Wow...that steak was damn good. Mushrooms, good. Potatoes, good. Brussel sprouts, good. The only thing that lacked was the Tiramisu. It was a little dry and didn't have enough coffee flavor in it. Until my wife poured some of her cappuccino into the dessert and we mixed it up. Then it tasted really good. Not cheap, but man was it amazing steak.
What I didn't like...the beef was corn or grain fed to get a certain marbling. I'd rather support businesses that have grass fed beef as it's healthier for you.

Which is weird to me as I would have said the Batfleck suit was all-armor which i liked.
Still think they need to protect the jawline 🤔
Reminds me of Nite Owl's outfit.
I'm talking about his Mesh/Material suit, not the armor he used to fight Superman.

The one thing I liked about Snyder was the Batman suit. And now they're going back to some stupid armor. Bleh.

so a 75 year old wiener place that's been at the forks for as long as I can remember is being replaced by a different wiener place
Skinners is garbage anyway.

Yeah it wasnt a ten. But I thought it was well acted, well produced etc. Their shining powers were a bit all over the place. If it didnt have the connection to The Shining I probably wouldnt have liked it. As a big Shining fan, I really enjoyed that aspect.
Im sure it was tough for the people making it for the reason you mentioned. King hated the Jack Nicholson film. And Dr Sleep novel was a sequel to The Shining novel not the film. But in making the film, they clearly made the Shining aspects look like the film. I think it would have been pretty cool to see Jack in it, de-aged. Or like I said, Christian Slater might have been an inspired choice lol. But otherwise, it was pretty neat.
Im surprised a Hollywood sequel hadnt been made already that has some stoner inheriting the hotel and taking his 20-something friends to re-open it for a weekend of drugs, drinking and sex only to awaken the spirits. Hi-jinx ensue.
Agree. All the actors did a good job. I would have liked to see the actors de-aged as well. Especially the Jack character. I mean they didn't even try to make it sound like him.

Saw Dr Sleep last night. Really likes it. Especially liked the scenes at the hotel. Would have preferred a different version of Jack though. He was okay. But get Nicholson and de-age. Or Christian Slater!
Really? I finished watching it last night and just thought it was meh. Just felt like the bad guys were taken out way too easily. And the story just felt like it didn't fit into the Shining universe. But then, the Shining wasn't really done the way King wanted it so...

Which Romulan wasn't a spy?

Finally was able to watch it. I really enjoyed it. I wonder how Data made his daughters without anyone else knowing about it. I guess what happened with Lal probably made him distrust wanting anyone to know he was doing it again.
I trust the Romulan's that are with Picard. Not sure about the rest of them.

Is it spoilers when its four days later? lol
Thats one thing that jumped out at me, they get attacked on earth at a public location that is related to Starfleet...where is security? Why are people able to beam in and out (should be a transporter restrictor over Earth, no?)
It is when I didn't even know it started yet. lol

You're lucky, I was kicked out of starfleet.

Generally TNG episodes did matter even though it was not serialized. Picard and crusher relationship (both crushers). Troi & Riker. Troi & Worf. Data’s exploration of humanity. “World events” etc. You didn’t really have to see every episode to understand but If you did, you could appreciate the evolution of the characters and show more.
Also the whole Q storyline went through the entire series from beginning to end.

Bottle episodes? Yikes. That was ST:NGs biggest faults. Too many episodes where everything started and finished in one shot. No longterm ramifications, no nothing, everything is forgotten, nothing takes more than seven days before the next thing happens.
The best thing about TV nowadays is that when things happen, they matter and carry forward.
Disagree. TNG was a great show and I loved the one hour episodes where I didn't have to watch the whole ******* series just to see what happens. If you want to watch an episode of Discovery, you can't just pick one random episode to watch. You have to watch the whole series. It's stupid.
But my point above was, it should be a mix of TNG and Discovery. Kind of like DS9, where there was a larger story arch behind all these mini ones.

Don't agree. With 10 episodes, they can't tell a proper story as they are rushed & details overlooked with multiple things going on at once which gets confusing. With a 22 episode season, things can s l o w... d o w n... & these stories can be told. To me, these short seasons & having to wait a year or more for the next is a major downfall. Star Trek was once known to be able to weave a story to the viewers. Now it's all about action sequences & special effects shock & awe.
I kind of agree. I think 13 episodes would actually be better, and also, I wish they would stop doing the "whole season is one big story arc" thing. I'd prefer if they had a larger story arc, but also had mini arcs in each episode so we could explore the galaxy more. It makes rewatching the episodes more enjoyable because you can just watch one episode. Whereas this whole season is one story is annoying since it's like on big long 10 hour movie. And they're doing that will all shows nowadays which is kind of annoying. And the long hiatus in between is even more irritating.

Parasite is interesting as its on several best of "in recent memory" lists. So im going with that as not only Picture but Director.
DiCaprio/Pryce get BA nomination , Pitts/Hopkins get SA. Have not seen Popes movies but I thought Pitt was in OUaTiH more then Leo.
Phoenix lock for actor.
Renee should win but Oscar so white so put Cynthia Erivo for Harriet in as a stealer.
How is Tom Hanks for a A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood a SA?
BSA a total toss up.
Best Makeup and Hairstyling : Joker but no Star Wars?
Best Visual Effects: The Irishman ROTFLMAO
Oscars are a joke.
But yeah, the Irishman...watching that I couldn't even tell half the time if they were even using the de-aging CGI because they always looked old. I kept thinking through the movie going...so...aren't they supposed to be de-aged?

One has to be a Pike series
I would totally be down for a Pike series. I loved Pike and it wouldn't mess with the continuity as much as redoing the Kirk series.
I could care less about Section 31 though. I'm not a fan of how they used them in the last season. They're supposed to be secretive and yet they were making waves all over the place. They just didn't feel covert enough for me.

Reading this makes me cautiously optimistic. Saying all the right things anyway. From Latino review :
Since the last Star Trek movie didn’t perform that well at the box office, the future of the franchise on film has been sketchy at best. Setting the Quentin Tarantino aside, we have not had an idea of when we might see the next Trek movie appear, however, we learned back in November that Noah Hawley would be on writing/directing duties for the fourth modern Star Trek movie.
Nothing was known about whether this movie would be a sort of reboot, or whether the cast of the Bad Robot Star Trek movies would be making a return. Hawley recently spoke with Deadline about his upcoming projects and it’s still not clear how he will shape this new movie.
I have my own take on Star Trek,” said Hawley when asked if the sequel will feature the most recent film’s cast, “and going back to what I loved about the series Next Generation, when a lot of franchises focus on ‘might makes right’, Star Trek is about exploration and humanity at its best, and diversity and creative problem solving. There’s nothing better than that moment when William Shatner puts on his reading glasses and lowers Khan’s shields. It doesn’t cost anything. But it’s that triumphant feeling about smarting your enemy. For me it’s about to getting to those elements of the show. I don’t necessarily find action in and of itself interesting unless it’s story. So, it’s early days, I’m still talking with Paramount and I have a take and I gotta write a script.”
As to whether it will connect with the TV work of Alex Kurtzman,
“I should. I know Alex. There isn’t a mandate from Paramount to connect it. And on some levels, there’s a bit of the wall, the TV version and the film version. I have my own story and want to make sure as I did with Fargo and Legion that I’m respectful to the underlying material. That I’m not unintentionally changing things that people love or feel passionate about. So, it’s important to do that research as I go.”
Well it's always good when someone who is a faithful fan of the show does the work and talks the talk. Let's just hope he can walk the walk.

I don't think anyone is calling kevin Smith's movies art... but his older stuff anyway was at least good for laughs, which really is all I ask from a comedy.
I usually ask for a Ferrari from a comedy...but all it does is laugh at me. 😕

I like a few Kevin Smith movies, but his stuff is definitely overrated. Whenever I see him speak, whether on youtube or whatever, he comes off as fake and over hyped.

I will never understand the love for this movie. As someone who has never and will never read comic books, I did not get it at all. Was completely lost and it was WAY too nerdy. The live action ones I can handle, but a cartoon? No thanks.
It's ok, I read comics and I didn't really like it.

I saw Shazam again last week. Still like it.
As for Gal Gadot...
Not really. She's kind of skinny.
I did like Shazam, Aquaman and WW though.

Right, he sat on existing object. He did not move it there or pick it up.
Jedi get powerful with every movie. Jumping levels in 4-6, flying out of cars, in 1-3, physical-force transferring in 7-9.
But he was able to physically touch it. What's the difference between sitting on a physical object, or grabbing something physical out of the air? They're both touching the objects.
The physical force transfer is not something any force user can learn. It is because the two of them share a special bond. They are two halves of the same coin. They are a dyad, which is why they can do what they can do.
