  • Conservative super pacs have been running ads against him for months. He still doesn’t have a running mate. No one showed up to support him outside his trial. Rich shareholders have cooled on him, because an erratic president will hurt stocks far more than any tax breaks or slashed regulations will help

    His supporters are leaving his events because he just looks weak and incoherent - he’s not even “incoherent sprinkled with buzzwords”, he now just rants about himself like an old man

    Mainstream media is owned by a few billionaires - regardless if they want Trump or Biden, selling Trump as a threat kept people focused where they wanted them. They’ve been showing as little unedited footage as possible, but even his softest softball interviews have so little that makes him look good.

    I think it’s ok to be optimistic, I don’t think I can sit through the debate tonight, but I think the clips will be interesting




  • The bad batch is apparently also great, along with the latest clone war seasons (according to my friend at least)

    I’m just not ready… Seeing Star wars just fills me with negative feelings. I hope I’ll get there one day - I loved the EU and the more they accept back into cannon the more I want to get back into it… But I just can’t give it another chance yet


  • No, the writing was just bad.

    I strongly prefer strong female leads (and my tastes only get more LGBT when it comes to novels), but those movies were terrible. Just horrendous. I still can’t bring myself to watch episode 9, or anything star wars since then

    I’m not even that big a star wars fan. I love sci-fi and fantasy, because I love the new ideas they contain - star wars was never special to me, it was just good

    I’ll never forget leaving the theater after episode 7, my whole department took off to see it on release. I just remember everyone being relatively satisfied, even the extreme star wars nerds, but I just looked at my team lead who I shared an office with. .

    We used to talk about Star wars all the time, especially the extended universe, but we looked at each other and I saw pain in his expression, and I knew I shared the same look. I don’t think we ever spoke about Star wars again

    And after episode 8, I now just feel dread when I see a blaster.

    It wasn’t that nostalgic for me, it wasn’t that my standards were unreachable - they were just bad movies.
