A look back: Donny D.A., COVID & the crab of reason
yup. also never said to drink bleach - believe it was something about ingesting disinfectant and exposing internal body surfaces to UV - but the idea was almost the same. (Vader never said "Luke I am your father"; Bogart "Play it again"...)
he did talk about oranges.
odd as he is/was there were six separate occasions where i had to check various sources to conceive myself that the reports were genuine.
the one about the oranges...the cabinet meeting where they took turns praising him...sharpie-gate...NRA/gun nuts assassinating Hillary...drinking bleach...and not knowing Pearl Habor's history.
couldn't be.
'tho the orange thing is just too odd. kept thinking about the strawberries...
Be fair….he never really said that.
He said Washington manned the air, rammed the ramparts, and took over the airports….he never said he had any planes…maybe he thinks Washington just catapulted soldiers at the airports (and rams at the ramparts).
GOP Purging Anyone Who Won't Embrace Trump's Election Lies
like lesions that won't heal.
the goofiness of hearing the goldfish and his crackers spouting 'rhino' referring to a decades-long officeholder is too rich - or in ditzy don's case - too poor to be believed.
when Vader's daughter (no offense to the 'real' Leia) is the moral conscience of the party, it's truly beyond the pale. and the GOP is as pale as it gets.
bk33 has to be baiting (or just jim jones'ing)*. to t.t.'s bleat - what is he going on about? find it impenetrable (ala lead-lined).
* 'tho from his lips to GOD's ears. would love to witness the demise of the NRA and GOP in this lifetime.

Sexual Assault of Men Played for Laughs
I understand. I'll grant that it seems a little "helicopter-parent" like to worry about this sort of thing. However, I do not agree that the transgressions are as harmful OR harmless as you suggest.
The Toy Story Examples again.
The one from Sid is itself an allusion to Star Wars where Darth Vader is torturing a soldier for information about the rebel base locations. If I'm not mistaken, that person is force-choked to death after his mind betrays him and gives Vader the info he needs.
Buzz approaches Woody after Sid steps out and commends him after the fact. "A lesser man would have talked under such torture."
Here is the encouragement. It doesn't matter if Sid is a good or a bad guy. Although, arguably, Sid isn't really a villain - just a kid who likes to play rough with his toys. But that's a different argument. I believe the encouragement is in the promotion of the idea that, put bluntly, torture is effective.
It's this idea, whatever the character motivation is at the time, nomatter who the character is, that encourages the use of torture as an acceptable means of extracting some kind of cooperation from the person being tortured- which is simply NOT true.
Why the pattern? why can't he be just ripping apart his toys like he did with the doll earlier?
I'm not fishing for 'micro agressions' - I'm against promoting the idea that torture works.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/12/08/world/does-torture-work-the-cias-claims-and-what-the-committee-found.html
"Time and time again, people with actual experience with interrogating terror suspects and actual experience and knowledge about the effectiveness of torture techniques have come out to explain that they are ineffective and that their use threatens national security more than it helps."
https://www.outsidethebeltway.com/an_fbi_interrogator_on_the_effectiveness_of_torture/
I argue that presenting torture as something that DOES work encourages policy decisions that allow for torture as a means to an end. When in reality it's simply just some kind of revenge driven harm propaganda.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/we-rsquo-ve-known-for-400-years-that-torture-doesn-rsquo-t-work/
I kind of swing the other way on this. We live in a cruel, violent, unjust world. Talking about that is not automatically an endorsement of it. Making jokes about it is part of talking about it and an important coping mechanism. Yes, talking and joking about it CAN be done in a way that encourages it, but it's NOT automatic.
As per your Toy Story examples, the ultimate take away for the young audience exposed to it is that the violence/torture was a clear cut bad thing. ...
... We need to relax a little bit about looking for micro-aggressions and 'bad' culture in every little thing that people say or joke about,
president trump announces a new and better national anthem
Trump is less Palpatine/Vader, and more Sideshow Bob.
If he were actually competent we'd all be in serious trouble. Then again, maybe if he were actually competent, other areas of his brain would work properly too, and he might actually care about other people, keeping the world alive, and all that shit.
Why George Lucas is NOT a bad director - A Visual Essay
I agree with everything he said... except for the last point.
The story of the prequels is boring and it's not directed in a visually interesting way.
Anakin's transformation into Vader is narratively clumsy and I'm not even sure you can entirely blame Christensen for his portrayal of Anakin, given the clunkiness of the script (blindingly obvious tip: if you're creating the guy who will become Space-Hitler, don't let people call him "Ani").
Lusas is undoubtedly a technical visionary, and he's certainly not a "bad" director, he's just not really good enough to be directing the biggest movies on the planet.
GIANT LEGO Star Destroyer with Full Interior
I just loved the fact that he put Vader in the canteen (and yes, I know that was the Death Star)!
*related=https://videosift.com/video/Eddie-Izzard-and-the-Death-Star-Canteen-done-with-Legos
Awesome build, very impressive. My kid's 15, but you know I'm going into the attic to get his laundry basket full of Lego's out just one more time...
p.s. Just to get it out of the way, let me be the asshat who misses the point and says ".... but those characters inside are not to scale!" There. Now carry on.

Nerdwriter: What Made Darth Vader Visually Iconic
He forgot things like the mask itself, the look and design of it.
He didn't mention the control panel on his chest, that made us wonder if he was human or machine or how much of each.
He didn't mention the Imperial March which framed the dark presence of Vader when he came on screen. Star Wars was the first movie to use a full Soundtrack to emote the feel of everything and control the viewers emotions as they watched...
(Jaws was the first to use the sound in this way, but Star Wars was the first to use the Orchestra.
