Well I mean, you ARE, or have been accused of being, an Ewok.
I imagine Shatner has an aversion to all things Star Wars. Being superior to Trek in every way. But still, hells yes to another prominent (ish) individual fighting back. (And yes, nothing after Return of the Jedi exists, stop lying.) Posted by: What's a Seawolf? at July 27, 2017 04:58 PM (72PAC) 16

William Shatner had a short lived interview type show where each person got a bottle of wine.

"29 I seem to recall he and Sulu do NOT get along...
At all. Posted by: Brother Cavil," Takei believed that the characters were real people. In one of the last movies, Takei demanded the Mr. Sulu be made made a captain of his own ship and then got pissed when he had no screen time. In a hilarious interview on Howard Stern back in the day, Shatner said "I told George he could be captain of his own ship, but all the action takes place on the Enterprise."

Yeah I think they were trying to goof on offense-taking sjws and it didn't come across very effectively These days you need a picture, and maybe some scratch 'n' sniff to help the slower people in the public to get a joke.

Louis D'Ascoyne (nice name for a parody account, by the way) was a bit too subtle with his put down of SJW's, and it seems from his response that The Shat didn't get it. Louis would have been better off, I think, paraphrasing Voltaire and quipping that SJW's are neither social, nor just, nor, you know, actual warriors.

I re-read some of the fusion testimony and I'm still confused about what Ms. Lindsay said (that the Russians were behind the firm...).
Fusion is a US company run by former Wall Street Journal guys, and are guns for hire. They were hired by Russia on some projects and by Hugo Chavez's minions on another. But does that mean they were hired by the Russians to put together the pee pee dossier? I think I'm still missing a piece of the plot here. Posted by: LASue at July 27, 2017 05:10 PM (hZ+us) 107

Ok, we are over 100.
So the question of why would Putin look to influence or help Trump, I don't think he was trying to help him so much as cause confusion and exert influence. Per Browder's testimony today in the Senate, Putin's number one foreign policy goal was the removal of the Magnitsky Act, sanctions which were killing his personal finances by restricting his worldwide banking actions. So with that in mind, read this about Bill and Hill taking money from Putin right around the time Hillary gave a speech saying she was not in favor of the Magnitsky Act in 2015. http://tinyurl.com/y7tjhl4u He already owned Hillary.

170 It always annoyed me that Scotty didn't get more screen time, he was a favorite.
Not necessarily a good thing. Consider: Star Trek II, theatrical version: "He stood his ground when the trainees ran." Star Trek II, TV version: "He was my brother's son. He stood his ground when the trainees ran." A couple of seconds that turn Scotty from an engineer's engineer into an everyman worried about family.

Oh hell yes. The entire theme of Russia, Russia, Russia was that Putin wanted Trump to win because he could control him. Collusion. And of course Hillary would stand up to him. Why would he waste his time trying to help Trump when he already had what he wanted in his pocket and she had a much better chance of winning?

Can't say, pep, but viewed from a small distance there so many people who were basically assigned suicide missions in the war - just the nature of the way things were done. Probably as an over-reaction to Omaha Beach, planning estimates for the first waves in Olympic, on Kyushu, had some pretty stratospheric loss assumptions. Even if one toned them down by 250% (probably reasonable, given Japanese resources, the geography, and "preparation" that might have included up to 15 fission weapons), the loss estimates were sobering.
And there's Pelileu, and many other battles that at the time or later could be second- and triple-guessed. Posted by: rhomboid at July 27, 2017 05:27 PM (QDnY+) 206

You know how I got to be a starship captain while the other grads my age from the academy were still junior grade lieutenants filling out fecal disintegrator requisition forms on cargo carriers?
Got there fast by fine tuning the Kobyashu Maru test more to my liking. You know, where I win.

If half of this is true, Tony Mooch won't last week. If even half true, Mooch is what I feared: the worst combination of NYC Boro Italian AND Goldman Sachs. The leakers Mooch is going after from the WH staff, and are about palace intrigue. The leaks that the FBI AG are said to be involved with are quite different, and criminal. For the record I'm a Bannon guy. From the article: "Scaramucci also told me that, unlike other senior officials, he had no interest in media attention. "I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not trying to suck my own cock," he said, speaking of Trump's chief strategist. "I'm not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the President. I'm here to serve the country." If he actually said this, the Ds aren't the only ones with a projection problem. Posted by: Ignoramus at July 27, 2017 05:33 PM (+7/1f) 239

Wanna hear something wild? When you adjust for inflation TMP made more money than Star Trek 2.
Which is odd because the first film was considered a failure and the second a huge success that saved the franchise. The thing is, everyone and their pet goat wanted to see the first film because they were so desperate for Trek at that point. So it had HUGE numbers at first. But it was very expensive as well because all those somewhat cheesy-looking effects were really expensive back in the day. Cost $35 million to make, earned $82,258,456 (11 mill of that first weekend). Khan cost $11.2 and made only $78,912,963, (14 mill the first weekend) so... earned less total but cost a lot less to make. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at July 27, 2017 05:43 PM (39g3+) 277

If Scaramucci only lasts a few weeks, maybe then we can finally have a conversation that Trump may indeed be the problem, and not all of these people "failing" him?
I've been groping for an analogy today. Scaramucci will only last a few weeks. The problem is that he is Trump's kind of guy. He is many of the things I don't like about Trump. (Not all, there's way more that I don't like about Trump). The problem is that I get why we needed Trump. All the SJW's, the corrupt Clinton machine, the lockstep ideological media, the absolute inability of a reasoned argument to surface if it's from right of left-center. So we get Trump. I'm thinking it's something painful your Mom puts on a wound. "That looks nasty, we have to put some Trump on it". "But Mom, Trump hurts!"

Now Sessions is on the chopping block, and maybe Rex Tillerson as well. Now we have the Communications Director threatening the Chief of Staff with felony charges and all sorts of firings. In addition to Trump constantly bashing his own AG And Spicer was just let go just a few days ago. But I'm sure all of this chaos is some combination of fiction and/or 3rd dimensional chess. And because Trump beat the worst Democrat candidate in the history of politics, every move from here on out can't be criticized. Posted by: Maritime at July 27, 2017 05:53 PM (1+bvq) 314

The Shat strikes me as a guy who is probably moderately liberal, or at least would be moderately liberal if the SJWs would only stop harassing him. But them more they harass him, the closer he moves over to the Dark Side." On one episode of "Raw Nerve" Shatner had Rush Limbaugh as a guest. It was interesting just to see them in the same room together conversing with each other. Although I wouldn't say that the discussion was very deep, they did talk some politics and Shatner didn't give him a hard time.

So the Clark's County Sherriff's is advising the residents to relax and let the GNAMM happen. Their motto is "If you can't beat 'em GNAMM." It is going up on billboards and replacing the if you see something say something signs. May be replacing "To Protect and Serve" on squad cars.

Which is odd because the first film was considered a failure and the second a huge success that saved the franchise. The thing is, everyone and their pet goat wanted to see the first film because they were so desperate for Trek at that point. So it had HUGE numbers at first. But it was very expensive as well because all those somewhat cheesy-looking effects were really expensive back in the day. Cost $35 million to make, earned $82,258,456 (11 mill of that first weekend). Khan cost $11.2 and made only $78,912,963, (14 mill the first weekend) so... earned less total but cost a lot less to make.
