I've been on the wait list to see an adult autism specialist for over a year and I really want that appointment to go through soon because since 1993, people have been accusing me online of taking positions I don't believe and arguing them and I can't even begin to wonder why anybody would ever do that and it's clear they're projecting and that's thing one on a list of a million things I can't understand about ways people behave.

I was born three months premature and was deaf through my early childhood and god drat do I wish I had those development times back because poo poo geta super confusing.

I saw Star Wars. I enjoyed it. But it's real dumb lol. But I love the actors hanging out together. You can't convince me that Rey, Finn and Poe aren't in a bi poly relationship living their best life at the end.

Cobi: DEAR SWEET BUDDHA THAT MOVIE WAS loving AWFUL!

I get the message they're trying to send, but they surrounded it with a horrible film that has little to do with Christmas, let alone either the original Black Christmas or the 2006 remake. Cliche situations, predictable writing, death by being off-screen, the utter lack of blood, a "twist" and explanation that would have made JJ Abrams' head explode, and a "girl power" ending that saw me turn to my wife and say, "did that sorority just commit mass murder?"

Avoid. Avoid like the plague. To quote one of my wife's students, "I saw this movie for free and I want my money back."

The first time I saw the trailer I thought the movie would be hot garbage so I'm honestly not sure what you were expecting going into it.

It's probably just a pinched nerve, it'll most likely work itself free over a couple months. If not then hey you got a numb finger, I got one too and you get used to it.

I've slept on it. It was a dumb movie held up by nostolgia and the wonderful interactions with the main cast. I love them. More than any of the characters in any of the other Star Wars movies. But good lord that movie doesn't make much sense. I def enjoyed The Last Jedi more and I've seen some of the same critics who tore it apart defend this movie with "can't we come together and just enjoy this movie without worrying about all the parts that don't make sense?"

My biggest gripe: How does she have Anakin's lightsaber back? Didn't it get ripped in half?

Better than what I loving got. Even the cheesiest horror movie have SOMETHING redeemable or worthwhile, even if it's something you can point at and laugh. It's incredibly rare I've felt like I wasted my time and energy going to the movies with my wife. Even when we disagree (Get Out is an all-time suspense classic to me, she thought it was average, she loved the Tom Cruise Mummy while I hated it from the very first line), we end up with an inside joke or something we can needle each other with.

This one? Nothing. We couldn't even make fun of it. The only other movie we both felt ripped off about seeing was mother! That movie made us immediately go back to the box office and buy a ticket for Wind River...

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

I thought the two she had at the end were Luke’s and Leia’s. Now that I think about it I don’t remember when she would have gotten Luke’s though.

In Empire Luke lost his father's lightsaber. In Return of the Jedi he had made a new one that was Green.

Super 8 is fine or whatever and that’s still somehow the best movie he’s ever made.

Mission Impossible 3 is the worst one because it’s not even fun bad like MI2. People are always like “but it has the best villain of any Mission Impossible” oh wow, the greatest actor of his generation gave a good performance. JJ really nailed it!

can you rate a nightmare? can you accurately convey the crushing despair felt by a lone moviegoer as he sinks deeper into a hell he has only created for himself? can you review a piece of tedious ennui that bores deeply within the soul, acting as a reverse bildungsroman as it strips away your education, your knowledge of the world?

You guys know what is good?

Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

Poirot is some good poo poo. Little Belgian man loving up the lives of English snobs. That is good stuff.
This is pages back and I'm getting caught up but I wanna stop and say I love Poirot. He's loving great. He's got CLASS. He's likeable, charismatic in a cute way.

I also really like Columbo. I like when a detective isn't, you know, overbearing or a super genius. Classy and/or humble.

Though I haven't watched the latter in a while so if he does problematic poo poo I missed it. Kinda feel like it might be that kinda show.

I got that vibe kinda at the end.

I hated that movie but still enjoyed it. It was bad in a way that felt dedicated to being bad. It doesn't just eat curb it facefucks the entire street with dumb.
