This looks bad, but the last time Jared Hess and Jack Black teamed up we got Nacho Libre, which was good.

It was nowhere near as bad as the reviews suggest. Manny Jacinto was honestly great. The Stranger's helmet design with the metal cables looking like a deranged smile was cool, as was his ability to temporarily disable lightsabers. The new king fu element to the fight scenes was interesting.

He was in a tough situation. We need to remember the extent of right wing vitriol and hate. Anyone who speaks out against Trump gets death threats. Their concerts would have had protestors outside. Continuing the tour could have been a safety risk for their fans. I'm not saying cancelling everything was the right move, but it's not as simple as "dick riding for Donald Trump."

Why is a website restricted to certain browsers? This isn't 2005.

I'm super excited for the mobile version but also worried about my future productivity

They definitely deserve this. Still, I hope their fab business works out because we need another high end fab (especially a US based one). It's exorbitantly expensive, too much for anyone but an established player to enter the market.

I went through an scientology phase (academic interest, not a follower) and have seen a ton of documentaries on the topic. This one is by far the best, and really just a well made documentary in general.

Wild Wild Country

A bit overlong (typical for Netflix), but it has that irresistible "Surely this won't get any crazier" thing going for it. It's also a bit unique among cult documentaries in that the cult leader (technically second in command I think, but the de facto leader for a time) is interviewed and is remarkably candid about everything.

When I was in school the kids with the weird names were either picked on or they were super cool and popular. Their parents had no idea which one they were going to be when they chose the name.

Your friend has the benefit of knowing who she is already. If she knows she's going rock it, then go Mildred.

So your solution is to give up and throw your vote away? I'm glad you didn't want my respect because you didn't get it.

A literal corpse being paraded around for four years like Weekend at Bernie's would still be a better choice than Trump. He attempted a coup to invalidate the will of the people and maintain power, sent a mob to attack the Capitol building, and has been charged with 91 felony counts in four jurisdictions just for stuff he did while in office and as a candidate (convicted of 34 and counting).

But democracy died when an old man showed signs of being old? Not all that other stuff? Yeah, I'm voting for Biden. Easiest decision of my life. You should too.

The building where I work is decorated exclusively with art donated by local artists. I think this one is super cool.
