It really is a pretty good listen, especially if you're a SW fan. There is so much at the beginning that really goes in depth to set up the abrupt start the film has. Obviously, a lot has been retconned, since the whole setup with Leia meeting an Imperial dignitary and getting the plans was...

It's no secret that TESB is not only my favorite SW film, but my favorite film ever (well, tied with Casablanca). The story structure, the characters, the visuals, all amazing. The best thing George could have done is allowed others to play in his sandbox. We know the stories of how his original...

This is probably one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Mark Hamill is one of the coolest guys out there.

This movie had Darth Maul, and you say Jar Jar was the best part of it? Seeker, I'm worried about you. Are you sleeping well? Do you need a latte? Let's rap a while.

Margot Robbie is pretty. That's all I can say about this film that's positive.

This sounds so familiar, but I can't place it. I grew up on old B&W movies, and I'm certain I know this one. Gah, why do you vex me so?

I spent a year working for a company who runs industrial hog farms (I hated it, but when you have a kid, you do what you have to do to make cash). I was on a crew that went around to various lots, helped out with loading pigs in and out, basic maintenance, chores, vaccinations, and other basic...

Living in a rural area, I only personally know a couple of vegans, and they're pretty chill about their eating habits. It's only when I go online that I run into the fanatics who attack you for eating a delicious piece of grilled cow flesh, blood still dripping from it, so that it pools on your...

There were two things going against The Mummy. A) They tried to inorganically force a cinematic universe, which cannot be done. Marvel got it done through trial and error. WB and DC tried, and it didn't work because they rushed it. The original Universal monsters weren't meant to be a shared...

Honestly, I think this is the best way to go. Like MacFarlane said, it's a thankless job, and it doesn't matter if you do a good job or blow it. And while I still love watching the award shows, there are so many out there that just go on social media and bash them simply because they don't care...

I've never gotten the radical activists who truly believe that meat eaters should be put to death and that anyone who has ever harmed an animal should as well. I don't believe in torturing animals. And I have a grey-area stance on animal testing. Like, makeup and shampoo should never be tested...

Crazy update!!! This clown PM'd me again, and just went to town. I'm a horrible person because I could have just blocked seeing the post, I'm violent and apparently want to harm cats and dogs (WTF?!?!?), I can control what I post online and didn't need to be such a terrible person, tarantulas...

Like just about any internet community, it has its ups and downs. There are some really great blogs for everything I'm into. Politics, horror, movies, comic books, music, sci-fi/fantasy, Atheism, etc. (Alas, Tumblr has recently decided to shut down all porn blogs because of the influx of...

So, there was a thread on Tumblr with a story about a woman who found a cage and feared a pet had been abandoned, so she went to rescue it. Instead of an animal, she found a tarantula, and felt bad for it and helped it. The thread consisted of people admiring her actions. I reblogged it, saying...

It's been years since I have seen this serial, but I remember liking it simply for my unabashed love for vampires. The story, as I remember, was pretty lacking, but I was intrigued by the idea of the Time Lords fighting giant vampires and always wanted to see more about that.

As someone who is a history buff and coming from a musical background, I like it. Yes, it's a mess of a tune, but to me it's fascinating to hear something like this bringing history to life, in a way. It's the same as modern brewers using beer recipes from ancient Egypt or chefs remaking dishes...

At restaurants (at least fast food), pickle slices come in five gallon buckets, which sit in the walk-in cooler, where you go in and get the amount you need for the dressing station. There is an oft told urban legend of a disgruntled employee relieving themselves in the bucket. Welp, while it...

Yup. Like @The Seeker I, too, have worked in fast food, and she should have washed her hands before handling your food. That being said, I have Tales From Fast Food that you don't want to hear. (You remember the urban legend about the pickle bucket? Not an urban legend.)

I think this reflects more the idealized Hollywood storytelling, in which the villain always gets his comeuppance. It's more poetic to see Erik live unhappily and die alone, but more dramatic to see him killed, to even go out in his own blaze of glory (cue Jon Bon Jovi). This is certainly...

The movie isn't great, but it is beautiful to watch. I have long been a fan of the music, having a copy of the original Broadway soundtrack (Michael Crawford certainly does have the voice of an angel). Honestly, I don't ever expect Hollywood to do justice to a Broadway show (except for Fiddler...
