There might be a couple of extra parsecs between future Star Wars films.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed there will be a 'slowdown' of its Star Wars output, following disappointing returns on the Solo standalone.

'I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast,' he admitted to The Hollywood Reporter.

Two dozen people. Not one of them even has a clue.

There is that.

It was a death mission and yet they went anyway.

There was no "Deus ex machina" to save them. While I like a happy ending as much the next person complete self sacrifice can be the perfect way to end a chapter.

The new Predator movie would say hold my beer. Even worse because it’s meant to be a horror film about an alien that hunts humans like wild game, but it makes the hunter alien dumb and forces comedy into the whole thing.

I was fine with watching Sarah Connor in terminator 2 as a young man, because she actually had a struggle and solid motivations as a character. Rey has neither of those in SJWars. What’s more funny is that how at least I’m Aliens and The Terminator movies, James Cameron gave us female characters who were interesting and not with cheat codes on to high heaven.

Look again at that photo, and see if you can make the connection between what you said they did to the women in the film and their own appearances.

It brings us back to Rush Limbaugh's long-ago observation: "Feminism Was Established So As To Allow Unattractive Women Easier Access To The Mainstream Of Society".

Feminists despise women who can get guys.

We don’t need any new movies made, at all. We would survive and arguably be better off without it at this point.

Agreed. Ditto for music. All the good music has already been made.
