They're way over 60.  2 Daredevil, Jessica, Cage, Fist, and Punisher would be 78, and then Defenders would be 86.

Where's Leslie Nielsen when you need him?

National Security discussion held during a party at Trump's golf course.  Great idea!

Haven't used in them in ages.  It's pretty much nonstop vitriol against the actors, and usually for really ridiculous things.

Trump is a joke.  He's already LOST his "who pays for the wall" tiff with the President of Mexico, and yesterday didn't have the balls to stand up to the drug companies over prescription drug pricing.  Pretty soon he'll understand why and how Obama was unable to move on many of these issues.  He's a total buffoon, and it's clear his central "team" as expected have no clue what "finesse" is required in that office.  They've done nothing but make gaffes and alienate tons of people, and again, this is less than 2 weeks in. 

Even my dog, who by dog standards I will freely admit, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, would have realized the country is highly polarized.  How about I begin with a proposal that will get bipartisan support?  How about we fix our damn infrastructure????  Democrats would have gone along with this, as would Governors and CEO's everywhere.  Instead this moron has freaked or flat pissed off Democrats, Republicans, Governors, CEO's, and whoever else, in just TWO WEEKS!  His scorched earth policy simply will not work.

Definitely a good one, felt like one of the old cartoons.

Obama executive orders were done so, and implemented, over a period of time so that the government could adjust and educate in a timely manner.  This allowed time to object to them, before implementation.  Trump on the other hand is acting like a dictator, issuing edicts without consultation, that are causing people and government to meltdown.  His approach is a disaster, and nearly everything he does now will be protested and subject to law suits, because he is doing it unilaterally like a strong man. 

On immigration, the problem is Trump is picking and choosing.  He absurdly said Syrian Christians were welcome, an outrageous statement, and honestly, how can you prove someone's true religion?  He also conveniently left off Saudi Arabia and Egypt, where Trump has business in, but who have exported several terrorists.  Secondly, we are already vetting, in most cases it takes YEARS to get into the United States, refugee or not, legally.  These people had done their due diligence, and Trump blocked them at the door, really for no good reason.  He has no clue how government operates.  As for best interest, most with experience feel that the ban will ultimately HARM US interests.  Regardless, the vetting process now is about as good as it can be.  To expect POOR refugees to even HAVE cellphones let alone to turn over the contacts and browsing history is pretty hilarious.  Who is this going to catch?  ROFL!  These people are not just dumped onto the street, they are sponsored by relatives, as well as often religious groups, same as probably most Americans' ancestors were years ago.  The vetting is extreme, unlike obtaining a gun, which is a hilariously easy thing to do, and has cost far more lives than "refugee terrorism."  The point though, why couldn't this have been discussed first? 

His moves on national security are frankly, frightening.  He placed self-professed LENINIST (aka anarchist) Steve Bannon on the National Security Council, while limiting the participation of the UN Ambassador, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Director of National Intelligence.  Here again, come the accusations that Trump doesn't give a damn about the facts on the ground OR diplomacy.  Sorry, but this is unbelievably insane shit. 

As for Obamacare, the Democrats made a calculation.  Perhaps it was wrong, but the GOP were unwilling to agree to much of anything in healthcare.  They decided that something HAD to be done about the system.  They did it.  Pre-existing conditions, loss of employment, kids aging but without work, and financial ruin from healthcare costs were ALL dealt with.  No the solution wasn't perfect, but here again, Trump's demolish and "rebuild" approach is objected to by even many Republicans.  Governors certainly don't want to blow up the system overnight the way he does. 

Once more, the protests, which have been largely peaceful, will continue, because Trump's approach has been so awful.  He won't change of course.  He'll just fire people who tell him to.

Scott missed one key ingredient though!  THE ICE HAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regardless of who was in charge, the United States has played a major role in causing millions of deaths and refugees in Syria.  Russia probably even more so, with a vicious, probably criminal, bombing campaign.  Do we bore some responsibility for this?  Trump clearly doesn't think so.  Don't forget, he's in favor of the USA defaulting on debt payments, so I doubt he cares about refugees. 

We're not even close to discussing the ban and vetting process, in my view.  We're STILL at the point of whether or not the Trump camp have once again overpromised ridiculous overnight decisions?  Implementing plans that are not properly thought through, and will be shredded via legal challenges.  I have said since day one, my biggest issue with Trump was that he has zero respect for the people who work in government, not to mention for the law.  His ego, stubbornness, and ignorance will quickly do him in.

Turnout was pretty bad, but again, Trump is (per polling), very unpopular.  Look I don't think Trump will "get us all killed," and I think Ivanka and Jared roles are being understated.  They'll have a LOT of influence, and both are I'm sure what conservatives would call a RINO.  My main opposition to Trump remains that he will be a daily embarrassment to the office, and to the United States.  If they simply took away his twitter account I think he'd be far more tolerable.  That won't happen.  His ego wont allow.

It really depends on whether the director changes.  Most of the ones cited involve different directors, writers, etc.  In some cases, a film went from lower budget to blockbuster (Terminator).  I actually prefer it when sequels involve different production teams, as a new light can be shown on them.  Sometimes that works out very badly.

The board of directors do not care, I agree with you, but why make a film that fans will revolt again?

Firstly the Walker CGI was plain weird, because Paul never really spoke.  And the movie was shot, minus that ending, which was reshot mainly to close his character off from future movies. 

Second, they can't use Carrie's image without approval, and while I can see Billie (who might be given a larger role who knows) giving permission for a short CGI, between her and Carrie's friends like Hamill as well as studio heads, to put a large role in with CGI and a voice actor, that's in poor taste.  You're basically saying the actor was irrelevant, which is unfair.  I cannot see how a valid performance could be gleemed off of old audio recordings.  As someone who podcasts and edits spoken audio quite a bit, it's nearly impossible to do that with anything more than short meaningless phrases.  It's one thing if Carrie did audio for say a Star Wars book, but I don't think she did.

I saw it during a screening as part of the "Star Trek Mission New York" convention last September.  Loved it, but Leonard Nimoy is one of my idols.  Adam was on hand, and did a panel or two.  I stopped him for a photo ironically while I was waiting in line for his girlfriend, Terry Farrell!  I then mentioned to her that he'd directed some great Sliders episodes, and she was like, "wow, I didn't know that."

Anyhow, I think Nimoy decided during the 1980s that he was never going to get work outside Spock, so he might as well direct.  He was a great man, and had a passion for Star Trek unlike any other actor.  He was arguably the 2nd most influential figure in Trek production history, after Gene Roddenberry, in terms of where the TOS went.  Brought many ideas from his life and background.

I would assume the best quality remains the first issue Universal DVDs, which are dirt cheap on Ebay.  Granted they will take up a lot of shelf space, but if you're on this forum, odds are this is a key show for you.

The media are just the worst of all, that's for sure, which is why I no longer watch ANY political television!  The economy is actually very strong, but the way of the world is automation and robotics, the latter we spend no money on in this country.  It's all over seas technology.  It sucks, but at some point we have to realize that pumping oil is a thing of the past.  Digging for coal is a thing of the past.  We should be investing in renewables much more, because the Chinese will run laps around us while Trump is stacking his cabinet with oil industry billionaires.  Xenophobia was very critical for Trump, just as it is for the right in Europe.  The problem is they blame globalization which is not the cause.  If anything "sharing" the wealth has helped more out of poverty AND kept them in their home countries.  No, what's done it is destabilizing regimes.  Bush, Obama, Clinton, they're all guilty of this.  But they are controlled by the war machine, and good luck to Donald on that account.  Also guilty is his new buddy Vlad Putin, who has destabilized Syria, assisted in a likely genocide there, etc.  Again, I think Trump has the potential to bring believably uneducated policies that can wreak havoc on the economy as well as the environment.   Climate Change, which brought on massive droughts, was the match that lit the Syrian war.  It will happen again, and in more places.  To deny it is simply insane.

Suicide Squad is a good example, because almost immediately word got out that Jared Leto's role was basically evaporated in the editing room.  This angered a lot of prospective movie goers.  Also, I kind of feel "cheated" by these things.  It's one thing to be Ridley Scott, who always seems to have a "director's cut," because I feel like his movies are complete as they are.  In many cases, they are his own edits, not the studio meddling.  Even as good a movie as Rogue One is, you hear about all these reshoots and edits, and wonder what it looked like originally?  Personally I hope we DON'T see those, because I just feel like those weren't the movie.  George Lucas butchered his films multiple times over.

Not for nothing, but if you can't make a good, complete movie in 110 minutes, you failed as director.  Wish someone had control like that over Peter Jackson, it *might* have made his movies watchable.  Snyder had 153 minutes and couldn't do it!  I don't know if I could bear a THREE hour cut!  Ha ha ha.  I suppose I'll have to give it a shot, though I loathe buying blu-ray's.

Firstly, Pelosi is in charge, yes.  The point though was that there was enough of a backlash that it's been suggested this is likely the last go around for her, Hoyer, and Clyburn.  They're all in their 70s anyway, and need to step aside.  As for corruption, I think it's more about the DNC at the highest level.  The entire party is not corrupt, it's just the central core which was stacked with Clinton loyalists.  Wasserman-Shultz should never have been in charge, she was absolutely heinous to then Sen. Obama in the media.  Donna Brazile is another crook, who's on the way out.

Now, as for performance, one thing to remember is that even though Republicans pulled out the Senate, most of those were very close races, which could have gone either way.  There's no doubt, the FBI much with Hillary plus the Russian's hacking the emails had a negative affect on the Dem results.  Similarly, Trump flipped four rust best states with very slim margins of 1 or 2%.  So again, it's not like Trump swayed massive of amounts of people.  He did NOT.  He has no mandate, he was preferred by less of the electorate.

I watched BvS the other day, it was terrible.  Zack Snyder is awful.  I really enjoyed Man of Steel, so this was a huge letdown.

As for Megan Fox, not a fan of her acting, but she's usually pretty nice to fans, so that's a plus in my book.

They cast Soniqua Martin-Green from The Walking Dead.  She's terrific on that show at least.

CIA says Putin interfered on behalf of Trump.

Wiki has her as the captain of a different ship, and only recurring.

Problem is the series is supposed to be show week by week, so the 30 day trial wouldn't help unless you waited for the completion.  They've casted 3 leads, namely veteran actors Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp, and Michelle Yeoh.  Very strange that the Captain of the vessel doesn't seem to be a lead.

Train wreck

Well Trump is taking credit for saving less than 1000 of the 2100 Carrier jobs they were moving to Mexico.  In response, the parent company will get regulatory favors, not to mention who knows how much $$$ from the state of Indiana.  Bravo, I guess?  Trump said he'd save ALL the jobs or Carrier would be paying a TAX for moving to Mexico!  Clearly Mike Pence is running this show, not some anti-establishment trade warrior.

I think there are some easy explanations.  First of all, many of SQ's questions probably get answered in some of the off-shoot novels, comics, games, etc that accompanied the film.  I don't bother with those though.  As for the Jedi/Empire, the old Expanded Universe pretty well established that ROTJ was not the end of the Empire.  It continued on, and was still very lethal.  Perhaps it will be fleshed out, but clearly it seems the "New Republic" failed in some fashion that hasn't been discussed. 

PS: On Marvel vs. DC fan reactions.....Marvel has never been held to a high standard, because they were an abject disaster for decades prior to Avi Arad's arrival.  DC has history that is constantly being compared to, whether in cinema or on television.  Also I think DC fans are more like Star Trek fans, they are very knowledgeable and picky.

96% of the audience has not and will not ask those questions of the film.  The film made billions of dollars, and so will the sequels.  JJ tried to recapture the "feeling" the original films gave the audience, and he achieved that pretty well.  I would agree that the people calling for the film to win awards were OUT OF THEIR MINDS!  But it was enjoyable nonetheless, and I look forward to Rogue One and the other films.

Ha ha!  It's possible the deadlines could be extended by a judge...

Honestly I don't know what the end game truly is for Jill Stein, who is not a Democrat.  She also wouldn't guarantee the money she raised would go to recounts.  I think Hillary's involvement was merely to "give it a blessing" or at most provide some legal advice.  Obama does NOT want the recount, they wish to work on the transition with what seems like an ever-bickering, inexperienced, and confusing Trump transition squad.

I think it's a bad precedent, whereby all future elections will have to go through costly recounts.  On the other hand you could argue that the goal is to force the state's to greatly improve their electoral systems in general.  That all said, it's tough to imagine a buffoon who claims millions of dead people have voted against me needs to be worried about an asterix from this process.
