You could, with the escalation in power of the last few movies, “Wold Newton” Fast & the Furious, John Wick, Mission Impossible, the Pierce Brosnan Bonds into one world.
Yes, the Brosnan Bonds. This Bond belongs with the Fast & the Furious. Not the dude trying to kill three guys in his dark wet family summer cabin and moping about it. (Bonus Michelle Yeoh hail to the Queen) via @YouTube
Oh, and welcome to Wold Newton, you young nerds.

These are the people this moral monster, and grifters like @benshapiro who howl “infanticide”, are lying about.

That the GOP stand by and lets this happen ... it’s beyond redemption.
If you don’t think the clock is ticking down on some wingnut killing a NICU nurse or doctor because they’re being conflated with abortion providers, then you don’t know prime grade-A US Wingnut.
Seriously, a guy went into a pizza joint with a gun looking for a child slavery ring in the basement. Our wingnuts will not let this slide.

BTW for 1st season LEVERAGE @downey and I read ~250 scripts. After that we had a CE narrow down to top dozen. Same CE/Producer @JenniferCourt12 runs my company now. For KINGKILLER she read literally hundreds of scripts and also drew on her giant database of previous meetings.
Look I think it’ll actually be nice to have good agents back, but the best an agent can do is get you pulled out of the slush pile and get you read (and even then probably not by the showrunner). Maybe get you a meeting, one of many, if they’re cashing a favor.
I *do not want to underplay that role* - that’s a big jump up the ladder, and you quickly learn what agents have good taste & also genuinely champion diversity. But this bizarre revisionist history by the agencies & H’wood media is embarrassing and offensive.

Is it ok to talk about Captain Marvel spoilers now? If not, mute this thread.

It's bugging me that the most constant criticism (but one I've literally only heard from men) is that Danvers has no arc. She's super powerful at the start and the end. No personal journey
You'd be surprised how much flew over heads. A male reporter asked Brie Larson if the "smile" scene was added because of complaints about her appearing stiff and how fans were photoshopping smiles onto her.

"That's just a depiction of the female experience", she had to say
People miss the point in a similar way when it comes to her personal journey. They seem to think you need to come from nothing and become ultra powerful to grow as a person. That's what the fans are used to seeing in these films

If you want to learn what goes on at your child's school, host lots of gatherings, feed the whole crew and listen non-judgmentally.

There's a lot of problem stuff happening. But this group of kids, they're good and trying to make things better.
They ROASTED today's "hip and relatable" assembly about drug abuse.

"Take an hour of sob stories and a middle-aged guy saying 'drugs are bad', add random snippets of popular music and laser lights. Apparently they think this is how to speak teenager."
I shared stories of similar assemblies from the 1990's. And that we laughed at the sad grownups too.

They are always so surprised to hear that some experiences transcend generations.

A case study of a vertically integrated #MoneyLaundry
The Kingstons: the polygamists that Big Love toned down to make them believeable for TV.
Also featuring Turkish and Russian costars.
(Thread. You been warned. Somebody throw Scalzi a distraction burrito.)
1 of many...
Terms:
Established Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: “LDS Church”.
Members of that church: “LDS”.
The shared mythos group including LDS, LDS before 1890, fundamentalist FLDS, & other polygamist groups: “Mormon” or “Mormondom.”
Individual schismatics: their name.
Mormon : LDS :: Christian : Protestant (or Catholic, or Baptist, or Jehovah’s Witness)

LDS and LDS Chruch try very hard to deny that they share holy texts & mythology, but they’re all related, from the same foundation.

On Honor

A Thread By: @LogoCentrifuge
An honorable man is the most powerful kind of man, because an honorable man does what it takes to maintain his self-respect and to serve the world around him.

Why?

Because an honorable man respects all that has contributed to his great fortune.

What fortune?

Being Alive.
It is a gift to be alive.

It is so improbable that after all the alleged billions of years of the universe, and all the alleged endless infinite space, that we should be here on this one rock asking ourselves what the point is.

Add to that the harshness of the game of life,

been thinking about this all day
if you identify as a libertarian i have three levels of response:
a) you probably aren't
b) you shouldn't
c) never ever talk to me or anyone ever again
the three levels are applied based on whether you double down at each step
