How Can Star Wars Be So Good Even Though It’s So Deeply Flawed And Narratively Inconsistent And Was Created By A Dumbass
[picture of Marcia Lucas in the editing room]
Seriously, stop everything you’re doing for the next twenty minutes and watch this video:
Although “George Lucas” has become synonymous with “Star Wars,” it’s really his collaboration with – and occasionally intervention from – the creative team surrounding him that helped launch the first movie into the stratosphere.
As the video points out, the movie that won all those Academy Awards – including, critically, the one for editing – was sculpted into its best-known and deservingly praised form by the editing team of Marcia Lucas (seen above), Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew.
If you’re at all interested in filmmaking or specifically the making of Star Wars, I can’t recommend “How Star Wars was Saved in the Edit” enough.
If I could rise up and applaud I would. THIS! fucking THIS.
You know what bullied people do? they take it out on themselves. They go home and hang themselves, they don’t pick up a gun and think “i’ll show them!”, that’s anger, entitlement, resentment. That’s not bullying doing it, that’s being a fucking asshole.
the last shooting? He killed that girl because she fucking dumped him. How, just HOW is that not fucking entitlement right there?
“White men from prosperous families grow up with the expectation that our voices will be heard. We expect politicians and professors to listen to us and respond to our concerns. We expect public solutions to our problems. And when we’re hurting, the discrepancy between what we’ve been led to believe is our birthright and what we feel we’re receiving in terms of attention can be bewildering and infuriating. Every killer makes his pain another’s problem. But only those who’ve marinated in privilege can conclude that their private pain is the entire world’s problem with which to deal. This is why, while men of all races and classes murder their intimate partners, it is privileged young white dudes who are by far the likeliest to shoot up schools and movie theaters.”

Linda Brown, who as a little girl was at the center of the Brown v. Board of Education US Supreme Court case that ended segregation in schools, has died at the age of 76 (Feb. 20, 1942- March 26, 2018).
Brown was 9 years old when her father, Oliver Brown, tried to enroll her at Sumner Elementary School, then an all-white school in Topeka, Kansas. When the school blocked her enrollment her father sued the Topeka Board of Education.
The court’s landmark ruling in May 1954 – that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal” – led to the desegregation of the US education system. Thurgood Marshall, the NAACP’s special counsel and lead counsel for the plaintiffs, argued the case before the Supreme Court. [x]
While Pence and evangelicals have refrained from judging Trump’s personal immorality, they’ve backed the administration’s efforts to put average Americans at the mercy of the whims of people in positions of power based on claims of religious belief. A rule from the Department of Health and Human Services insists that your employer should be able to decide if you’re worthy of birth control coverage. Because your boss may have deeply held religious beliefs about whether your endometriosis should be treated. And another HHS policy would let health care workers decide whether they want to treat patients based on their religious or moral beliefs. The new policy could allow doctors and nurses to deny a wide array of services, from birth control prescriptions to basic care of children of gay parents. Oddly enough, these discussions of using religious objections to deny care rarely venture into, say, denying treatment of sexually transmitted diseases to serial adulterers. The right’s fixation on abortion and health care for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people —while ignoring the moral aspects of adultery — is especially baffling considering that Jesus actually mentions adultery, over and over, but never clearly states his views of gay marriage or the morning-after pill. This hypocrisy isn’t new but it’s never been more obvious.

Can we take a moment to celebrate Candice Patton?
Last night a racist ass Olicity/Snowbarry stan hopped on twitter and was spewing all manner of racial slurs and racist ideas at Candice, all of which she handled with her usual grace. This asshole even went so far as to say that interracial relationships were the result of loser white men who couldn’t get white women.
Today fans of Candice have been showing her love while also telling her their own “loser” love stories:
Go take a look. Show Candice some love and bask in some heartwarming feels.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump says he thinks it's great that China's president now holds that office for life and muses that maybe the U.S. will do the same someday. Trump's remarks were met with laughter and applause during a luncheon for Republican donors Saturday at his South Florida estate. CNN said it obtained a recording of the remarks. Chinese President Xi Jinping recently consolidated power. Trump told the gathering: "He's now president for life. President for life. And he's great." Trump added, "I think it's great. Maybe we'll give that a shot someday.
China just became a dictatorship and Trump literally said he thinks that’s a good idea for us (him)
Trump basically said “fuck due process” and “i wanna be a dictator” IN THE SAME WEEK. And republicans fuckin clapped…
Oh Jesus
It’s what they’ve always wanted tbh. Not just Trump but republicans in general. I feel this is the result of denying that they’ve been the Sugar Free Fascists party since Nixon (and before but it really tipped over, then)

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi dismantles the NRA’s frequent talking point that people are safer with more guns around: “Study after study empirically proves it’s just not true.”
"I have two words to leave with you tonight," the actress told the audience after winning her Oscar: "inclusion rider." But she didn't define those words on stage — so, here's a helpful primer.
“Simply put: It’s a stipulation that actors and actresses can ask (or demand) to have inserted into their contracts, which would require a certain level of diversity among a film’s cast and crew.”
Well if you want to work with more women or minorities than it seems there is a way to actually make it happen.
I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.
