    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to quit royal family, possibly move to Canada

    Maybe the point I’m making is unclear, but what exactly is Harry going to do to make a living that is separate from the fact that he’s part of the royal family? I can’t imagine he’s going to take an entry level 8-5 job. He is inextricably linked to his royal heritage, and it will continue to be what allows him to live the life style he is accustomed to. His source of income remains the same, he just won’t have to do the things a Royal is expected to do.

    North American's are almost as enthralled with the Royals as the Brits. They'll just release some sort of themed product line (clothes, makeup, whatever) and be the next set of 'self made' billionaires.

    This was obviously an American op intended to implicate Iran in the murder of citizens of NATO allies, thus garnering support for future escalation. An EMP was used to knock out power so that the pilots couldn't communicate that they were taking fire from an F-35. Without power the 737 was unable to safely land with one engine. (I don't believe any of this, but I'll watch the movie if Harrison Ford is in it)

    I don't even know. She just...annoys me. Don't you ever see an actor and just think "fuck, this person is annoying"? That and I sometimes hate on people's faces, like someone's facial expression just perpetually annoys me. Somehow she's one of them and I have no logical explanation. 

     

    Lost in Translation though was an excellent movie all around and I did really like her there. She also works in Ghost World. 

    John Malkovich.... if he is onscreen it's a hard pass

    And 80% aren't. Plus despite the fact that those guys are vetrans, Cops are trained differently with a lot less trigger discipline than Soldiers have. And there are less protections for soldiers than for cops who have a very powerful union that prebvents them from being held accountable... you want me to keep going? Again... SON.OF. A. COP. Most military guys who become cops think cops who weren't military are jokes and dangerous.

    I have no idea... why?

    I'm not Nolan, but I'm assuming he would have had some version of the joker in that movie. When Ledger died, they had to reimagine the entire movie. They did a remarkable job, all things considered. There was probably an insane amount of studio pressure to get it out by a certain date as well. The fact that the movie is even watchable is a testament to Nolan's ability.

    6 Underground 

    It's beyond goofy, and rarely makes any sense. This will probably be one that audiences love, and critics will overthink. It's a Michael Bay film so it has lots of stuff blowing up that shouldn't even be able to, Ryan Reynolds doing Ryan Reynolds things, and a cheat code towards the end that had me crying from laughter. I thought it was great, but I certainly wouldn't try to convince anyone who thought otherwise.

    The only thing that promo really says is that he's influenced Ben all along, not that he had anything to do with Snoke.

     

    Also, they've really been keeping the Emperor's looks hidden despite seeing him in every trilogy. I've been quite curious how a Sequel Trilogy Emperor is going to look since he's not 1:1 from Episode 3 to Episode 6. I keep thinking he's going to be in a jar a la Futurama.

    It's really just Boba Fett throwing his voice from the Sarlacc Pit.

    I would worry that a guy who was just OK before coming to the Astros school of pitching witchcraft and wizardry will regress to the mean. 2019 will likely be the greatest season of Coke’s career, but I hope he pitches well for years to come. Loved watching him here in Houston. I like grumpy pitchers :) 

    I'm pretty sure that the world series winning Astros are just an amalgamation of the Braves from the last decade.
