looks like Godzilla has been hitting the snack isle I bit to hard

they were apparently ok with his tweets when they hired him for the first 2 movies. There is no way you get 200+ million for a movie without the mouse crawling ALL the way up your ass.

as I recall season 2 of psycho-pass was bad

Shameless Season 1

I having a hard time deciding what to make of this series. Frank is probably the biggest piece of shit character I have ever seen on television surpassing the Always Sunny crew because they are played as over the top monsters while Frank Gallagher is a more plausible drunk waste of human flesh though as the season went on he got more over the top IMO. Fiona is great, Lip and Ian's relationship is good everything else is take it or leave it. This series has a rather shocking amount of under age sex scenes, lot of 15 and 16 year olds getting it on often times with adults.

6.5/10

you know what is scary, I had forgotten that Bolton was the national security advisor 

this is probably his only real play hoping everyone will accept that he is a dumbass that misspoke, since he is a dumbass and often can't string together 5 word sentences and everyone knows it he may as well use it to his advantage

I was asking why it wouldn't be the case that other sellers would keep prices low to take the market. I think I may be confused about which actors are being referenced in that quote. They raise a few: "American sellers, American buyers, Chinese sellers, Chinese buyers, and finally other countries selling.

They don't raise the prices to match the tariff priced goods but they do raise them. Lets say 100lbs of tariffed fish costs $150 from the US, country B was selling at $130 now they can raise their price to $145 and make more money while still undercut the tariffed goods. 

Tariffs are often a huge win for countries not directly involved with them

12 Strong

generic military movie

5.5/10

Unsane

solid acting and decent enough writing I have no idea why directors choose to shoot with smart phones

6.5/10

neat 

would be nice if they could indict a hacker they have greater than 0% of actually arresting 

Westworld season 2

Reading online I see a lot of people complaining about the jumping around timeline but I never had an issue following, it was all fairly clear when things were taking place at least until the very last scene. Strong performances as expected. It is going to be real interesting to see where they go next season "westworld" is essentially done at this point.

8.5/10

apparently and it wasn't 200,000 in credit card debt it was 60,000-200,000 in credit debt and loan debt 

It kind of is silliness. He group bought a bunch of tickets which racked up debt and then he paid that debt off presumably once all of his friends gave him the money for the tickets, not really much of a story.

Looks like old school Fallout.  I might be tempted. 

the original Wasteland was the precursor to Fallout 

This is actually a good 1st amendment ruling. I would equate it to a modern Anarchist's Cookbook

Isn't it completely normal for justices to indicate a preference for their successor?

I think it is not uncommon but just because it has been done in the past doesn't mean it should be considered ok

Did either of you watch Resolution? The Endless was the sequel. It all makes a bit more sense having seen Resolution first. 

I have not seen that one

what a shocking turn of events 

The Expanse -  season 3

I have not read the books but it is pretty clear that this season pulls from two separate books of differing quality. The first half is excellent, second half has a really interesting premise but just never really hit stride. The next season on amazon should be very interesting especially if they give it the budget it needs which honestly this show has always looked good for a show on syfy, I'm fairly surprised they built all those new sets this year.

1st half is 9.5/10 

2nd half is 7/10

overall lets call it a 8/10

It will show a lot of concern, and a surprising amount of guile, by Trump if she is actually the pick.

 

It would signal Trump and his allies are genuinely concerned with the optics of killing Roe.

 

My understanding is that no matter how conservative they are, a female justice is seen in conservative circles inherently as a danger to "Go Souter" on Roe.

 

That all said, I think it's a typical pump fake and he'll go with someone else. I find myself over thinking, "If I were faced with the complicated balancing act of pleasing my base, nominating a justice, and finally actually killing Roe and redefining the rights of women for the next 50 years it would make sense to throw down a little cover to say the swing vote on that curtailing was, herself, a woman that I nominated". But then I have to remind myself, Trump doesn't care!

Barrett has 7 kids and is a devote catholic so I wouldn't bet on her being a woman as enough for her to be automatically for Roe

The Endless

Small indie movie about a couple of brothers that return to a cult they got away from. The first quarter is just kind of there but then it goes into some great wtf is going territory

8/10

The Darkest Hour

Gary Oldman in maximum Gary Oldman chameleon mode, the rest of the film other than his performance is just ok.

6.5/10

Doesn’t Harvard already represent a ridiculously high percentage of justices past and present? I’m pretty sure Yale is #2. But yes, absurd indeed.

if you count Kennedy all 9 justices have gone to either Harvard or Yale for some level of education 

word is that Trump will announce his choice on July 9th 

I'm not sure what rules you expect senate democrats to break since they are in minority position, they have no power to alter the rules and republicans just need to vote together to get a justice appointed. What exactly are people expecting them to do? 

Well this is going to be the big political event of the summer
