How... accurate was the Will Smith costume?

Not very. However, that same year, I portrayed Crispus Attucks in a play about the Boston Massacre, and a student suggested painting me in blackface, a prospect which the teacher earnestly considered and dismissed due to the effort involved. I was also supposed to have my lifeless body dragged offstage, but I was too fat.

Please tell me more about how Aliens was groundbreaking.

I can't tell if this post was sarcastic or not but here we go: John D'Amico put it best when he said that Aliens is the only space marine script, and every other one is a rearrangement of Aliens. Contrary to what SMG said earlier, it really is an iconic script with lots of great little lines and character moments. The character archetypes Aliens uses has also become a go-to for action films, including the Vasquez character. The pacing and structure of the action scenes, along with how they're shot and edited, changed the landscape for how it's done. Look at Doom, self-described by id as "Aliens meets Evil Dead 2," and Jurassic World, which features two action scenes ripped straight from Aliens, and Starcraft, and you start to get a sense of just how wide-reaching Aliens' influence is.

i think I did what I always do when I go off my meds, which is feel like I'm in a good place and have done sufficient "work on myself" that I don't need the meds anymore. I've just always had a hard time swallowing that it's bio-chemical issue and not an ontological one that can be overcome with enough meditation and behavior modification. :(

I'm seeing a counselor for ADHD problems right now, and I'm impressed how much a behavioral approach has helped, but it's definitely not enough, and they're stepping me up to medications now.

There's an upcoming movie or documentary about the Superman radio show writer who infiltrated the KKK for a story that hosed up the KKK in real life.

Technically it wasn't KKK because they were founded after the civil war and Django Unchained takes place before the war started.

Man the Comey thing is confusing and hosed even for Trump. I mean on the one hand it's hosed to be able to fire someone that was heading an investigation of you. On the other hand Comey was only considered by the left to be a threat to Trump when he got fired yesterday and up until then hr was a Trump stooge that shouldn't have been heading the investigation especially given his announcement about the Clinton emails that some think (but probably didn't actually) win Trump the election. In fact the reason sited for his firing was his handling of the Clinton case which would be fine if Trump hadn't spent the last year up until like a week ago praising Comey, specifically mentioning his handling of Clinton and the emails multiple times. It's a situation where nobody is being genuine in how they feel and something hosed is going on but it's hard to even determine exactly what through all the absurdly blatant lies and postering

God...it hasn't even been six months.

It seems clear that Comey was sniffing too close to Trump's people with the Russia investigation (especially since McConnell is now saying that it would be pointless to appoint a special prosecutor) and Trump decided to get rid of him.

Comey's already been invited to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee next week, so if he accepts, that could be ... well, something.

I just don't know how clear that is because that is the opposite if the narrative the left has been trying to push for months now and I'm not really comfortable pretending that isn't the case.

I can see what your saying easily being true but I'm right now I'm not willing to make even safe assumption without actual facts to back them up. Believing things just because they feel right is partially how we got in this mess to begin with

Comey was getting too close to the truth, or Trump was upset at how damaging just the publicity of the Russia investigation is to him, or both.

Thing is I was fairly sure- and to a certain extent and still inclined to think- that Russia tried to influence the election but it wasn't a grand master plan. It was just "Okay, let's help leak some bad info on the candidate we don't like", and they were probably as surprised as anyone that Trump won.

So now they've got an administration that is very friendly to them, but I'm not sure they really planned on doing anything with this, and Trump is so freaking mercurial at times they can't count on him to do any one thing.
