Disney's stock value is currently sitting lower than it was during the pandemic. I'm genuinely considering grabbing some to pop off when they inevitably get bought out or otherwise restored.

I'm old enough to remember the movie existed, but not old enough to remember any controversy surrounding it. Besides the obvious, at least.

My pastor dad theorizes that God would have been completely cool with the Israelites sparing their enemies if it had been done for the right reasons, eg, because they're humans too. But the only reason they ever spared the peoples God told them to wipe out was because they wanted slaves and wives, and the end results of them integrating barbarians consistently came back to bite them culturally and spiritually.

Abuse is another one of those words that's been used improperly to the point that it no longer holds the weight or meaning it once did.

It's almost like its been... Hm.... I know there's a word for it, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

It's genuinely sad. A whole subculture of Don Quixotes tilting at white windmills. The scary part is how many people have a vested interest in feeding these delusions.

"The force is an energy field that binds all living things. Ones who are naturally in tune with the force naturally harbor many of these microscopic creatures who thrive on the connection."

You could even have a chicken or the egg sort of deal. Are Midichlorians the source of force sensitivity, or are they merely drawn to it? Or are they spawned from the Force itself? Having mysteries in-universe that people in and out of story can debate over is good storytelling in of itself.

Midichlorians work perfectly well as a symptom of Force Sensitivity. People way overreacted.

I picked up Spark The Electric Jester 3. I haven't played the full version yet, but I really enjoyed the demo. It really does feel like the Sonic Adventure 3 we never got. I really appreciated the way the levels were designed to accommodate multiple styles of play. You wanna speedrun straight for the goal? There's a reward for that. You wanna explore and look for secrets? There are rewards for that. You wanna combo enemies and rack up a high score? There's a reward for that.

In The Last Battle, Narnia falls because Calormen is literally invited in to conquer them by pretenders falsely invoking the name of Aslan. Just something to think about.

It was a terrible adaptation. That's the long and short of it. Prince Caspian wasn't great either, but Dawn Treader had no idea what it was doing.

My cousin and I have been looking into getting some streaming going. Maybe once we've gotten something going we can network with you. Right now, I'm trying not to count my chickens before they hatch.

Megaman Battle Network 4 sold amazingly on the tail of 3's success. It being a stinker of a game utterly killed 5 and 6's sales.

African Americans are white because they live in America. I don't make the rules.

Depressing, but it sounds like he did it to himself.

What? There are only two options, and answering yes is just saying "Yes, I am Male or Female."

The first one is using the Mathematician's Yes. Technically, you can answer yes to "Are you a boy or a girl?" and be correct. Of course, doing so is admitting that you fall under the binary one way or the other, so they really just played themselves.

I'll stand by Luca as a wholesome classic that had no business coming out in the current year. Inside Out was pretty good too. I'd have no qualms putting it on for family night.

As for the rest, they were either mediocre or I didn't even bother watching them. And that's not even getting into the mediocre-to-bad sequels like Incredibles 2 or Toy Story 4.

Sure, but they weren't responsible for the predator/prey divide. They were just stoking and taking advantage of it.

Zootopia was at least clever enough to make everyone the bad guy instead of pinning all of society's ills on one faction.

Speaking as someone who generally prefers non-human characters in most things, the designs just aren't appealing. They're all so samey and generic looking. And they're all constantly fluctuating, making it hard to really nail down anyone's design.
