Last night Minnesota's Griffin Jax became the first graduate of the United States Air Force Academy to play in the major leagues.

Next thing you will suggest people on the internet would actually READ what you wrote before reacting to their assumption of what you wrote. Sheesh. 🙄

I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath.

Thanks.
 
I try to present my thoughts in a way that they are understandable without be perceived as antagonistic.  I don't know if I succeed, but I hope so.
 
Understanding does not equal agreement, which is why I am puzzled sometimes by reactions.

Hell yes! Every Sunday night from 6-10, on KMET Los Angeles. Followed by "Harrison's Mike", a talk show with host Mike Harrison.

“Star Trekkin’ ‘cross the universe!”     Is anybody else so old they actually used to listen to Dr. Demento?

I saw the 'she's got help' scene in Endgame for what it was.  A fan-service moment for female fans in a movie full of fan service moments.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like Thor is wearing Jack Burton's shirt?
 
 

Man, they should make Contortion its own Olympic sport so all the effort some straight white men go to explain how media spotlighting women or minorities isn't actually successful or popular despite all evidence to the contrary doesn't go to waste. 🤣

I read these words as an English sentence but they don't make sense. Everything is made for me and I'm a middle-aged White man who used to buy comics thirty years ago, so clearly Captain Marvel was made for middle-aged White men who used to buy comics thirty years ago.
 
Or maybe it was forty? Anyway, point is, I paid my dues back when comics cost a buck and a quarter every issue, and now I'm entitled!

Carol didn't flinch, didn't take her eyes off Thor's as he stared her down, even started to smirk a bit toward the end of their eye-lock. It wasn't the calling of Stormbreaker alone that made the difference, that was only one element of their interaction. Thor was reading her, one seasoned warrior to another. Confidence, self-discipline, are as important as courage.

Thor respects courage.

I thought, when they showed the flashbacks of Carol in movie she did seem to be enjoying herself and having fun, especially with her friend. Her time with the Kree was spent being beaten down and told to control her emotions, constantly, because they knew that she had this power and were afraid of it.
As for Maverick, saving everyone doing what everyone the whole time said he was best at, did not make him no longer a jerk. The fact we don't really see him after that point, iirc as has been awhile since I saw movie, does not show a change in him, other then the feeling of loss he had for his friend dying.

Besides scripts, which were bad, the other problem Dalton had (and he, like Craig really played a lot closer to the personality of the books Bond), was that after Moore, there was a big hype over the potential casting of Brosnan, coming off a successful run on Remington Steele, being cast as Bond. Then, because of the hype, the RS showrunners decided to renew for another season blocking Pierce from actually playing Bond. I liked Brosnan as Bond and would love to have seen him start that run 8 years younger, like it appeared he would. On the other hand, the scripts were so bad that it may have been better for him to wait until Goldeneye.

Compare Danvers to Maverick in Top Gun. There's a lot of similarities in their arrogance and confidence. But it's okay for Maverick because he's a guy and not okay for Danvers?
