    Having learned precisely zero lessons from the Capitol riot, the troubled congressman whipped up a Georgia crowd on Thursday night.

    Also, I’ll say again…

     

    All you need to know about JJ as a storyteller you can get from watching Into Darkness.

     

    It relies completely on nostalgia and knowledge from outside the movie to work at all.

    New Spock has a conversation with Old Spock in which Old Spock says that Khan was their most dangerous enemy (no) and tells New Spock the secret to defeating Khan and then they cut away from the conversation… then to win the fight, New Spock just hits Khan in the head with a blunt object.

     

    JJ is really very good at selling the drama and emotion in scenes, I just wish it was tied to stories that didn’t consistently blow ass.

     

    One of the worst parts about how Into Darkness relies on existing knowledge from outside the movie is that if you do have that existing knowledge then it makes no sense that Khan is now a pasty scrawny British guy given when the timeline diverges.

     

    Plus remember all the denials that Cucumberpatch was Khan...and then they just reveal that everything is exactly what everyone suspected in a series of gigantic exposition dumps. Just ugh.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again... Mitch McConnel is one of the biggest pieces of shit in Washington. He has single handedly ground the Senata to a HALT for the better part of a decade. How much has congress actuallt accomplished with him there?

     

    All of the GOP wants the Senate to grinds to a halt, he's the just the guy they send out to take the heat for it.
