Not really news, and it aligns with what you might expect, but Rian Johnson's longtime producing partner Ram Bergman thinks that Rian's trilogy won't start for at least 2 years. With episode 9 due in 2019, it would make some sense to go right to another trilogy the following year, but I think a 2 year gap would make sense as well.

And then when will the double Ds start their series?

Would the governor be able to immediately pick someone new or would there have to be a special election?

Similar to Franken's, uhh, "retirement", the governor would select somebody to fill his seat, yes. That actually might be a blessing come to think of it. Governor Herbert isn't as insane as Senator Lee. Still not worth having him on SCOTUS though.

Mike Lee... The only man more detestable in the Senate is Ted Cruz. And then just barely.

I'd love to see a show about Spartans. From when they're brought in as children, and the progression through to fighting the Covenant. Just thinking about it makes me want to re-read The Fall of Reach. This is one of the few, very few, times I'd actually be ok with prequel material.

This. It's hard to believe such an incredible sci-fi novel is a prequel to a video game. I was so disappointed in the half-assed animated adaption of it that MS made when Halo 5 released. Blech.

Or, ok, make jokes. That too.

I think nobody has a true opinion because who he is under the helmet really doesn't matter. That armor and his relationship with Cortana are his character and persona. I legit try to think of whose face I want to see when the helmet is taken off and I draw a blank.

Chaos Chaos - Committed to the Crime (2014) - 7/10

Yeah I discovered this group via Rick and Morty like everybody else. Before now, I really only listened to the song "Do You Feel It?" from the "Auto Erotic Assimilation" episode. I decided to give the whole album a go. I appreciate underground and self-produced pop music, but most of it suffers from the same thing mainstream pop does: one or two songs on an album that had some thought put into them to try and be catchy and get some radio play while the rest seem like they were written all in one day for the sake of saying you made an album.

I'm happy to say that such definitely does not seem to be the case with these ladies. Even though this is just an EP I was anticipating a slog. But before I knew it I had looped back to the first track. I genuinely enjoyed every song except for one ("Monsters", which isn't bad, just seems generic compared to the rest of the album). I think my favorite track on the album turned out to be "Breaker", a sunny synth heavy L.A. pop 'love you but we're through' break-up tune. Another track I love is the closing track "Better", but the thing I love about it makes me slightly disappointed in the other songs on the album. Turns out one of the sisters in this group is actually the drummer and she's phenomenal on this track. Why was she hiding behind generic electronic drums on the rest of the album? The album is still great though.

Let the past die.

Apt for me because their Star Wars merchandise was always overpriced and less well-stocked than Target or Walmart. Despised TRU for that.

Can we make a "Shooting" tag?

Google is a really good resource. 

 

But if you're that lazy, then it's intersex and asexual

I thought it was for iSexual. For people who love Apple products and only Apple products.

Once you get past four or five letters in an acronym my level of concern/care drops exponentially.

And it's Kevin Hart. 

I hope Master Chief is a transgender black man so all the pasty white kids that supposedly fuck my mom get upset.

I thought this was one of the perks of being a high school graduate with a small man complex. And he's getting fired for it? Now who's going to want to be a police officer?

That's a hell of a showrunner/writer in Kyle Killen. Awake was incredibly good (never saw the other two shows he created, Lone Star or Mind Games). He also wrote the films The Beaver and Scenic Route, for what that's worth. Rupert Wyatt as pilot director is pretty great too (The Escapist, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Gambler). I'm tired of Halo games and that convoluted backstory/mythology it's created since Halo 4, but this has a lot of potential. I'm intrigued. 

I'm sure they will, but the show really needs to focus on the pre Halo CE era starting out IMO. Fall of Reach and all that. And while I don't want them to remake the games in show form it would be a travesty not to touch on the story in the first three games of the trilogy.

I'm halfway through The Great Hunt (Wheel of Time book 2). Enjoying it very much so far.

In all seriousness, I've been dealing with depression for the last few months or so.  Shit news like this is the last thing I need.

Are you seeing anybody to help with that? Your D1P fam loves you and we want to help how we can.

He's going to pick Cohen. Or Avenatti for looking good on TV.

Oh cool cops can do "enhanced interrogation" too.

I've said it before and I'll just repeat it here. The Last Jedi is helping Star Wars shed fans it needs to get rid of. The franchise will be better for it.

Also, thinking about it, Jurassic Kingdom has all the dumb things that morons wanted in TLJ: clones linking important characters as family, Incels being justified in their disdain towards women that don't like them, over explanation of the machinations and origins of the villain, etc. And Jurassic Kingdom fucking sucked.

I was reading stuff about X-Men and numerous times came across people who didnt find her attractive anymore because she "white-washed" herself and in the process messed up her face. Idk dude, I cant explain how some people on the internet think. 

Her in the Psylocke outfit was the hottest she's ever been. People are nuts.

I would also like to voice my support for the tag system against the thousand sub forums.

Let me see what else is possible, that thread was definitely meant as a starting point to drive discussion not an end point. 

For sure. I appreciate it.
