    Original star wars was filmed in London with Union extras and actors from the area. There weren't many if any black actors in those unions back then. Lucas didn't realize till later that there were no black people, and became so dismayed that he hired James Earl Jones. He even created a black character Lando to rectify the error.

    Calling Lucas a racist is so silly. His only other directing credit post star wars, was a movie about black airmen. Btw, Lucas is also married to a black woman.

    She's been suffering sexism for a long time. When bill was fucking around and cheating on her in the 90s, people were straight up blaming her for it. They were also being horrible to Monica L, while giving bill a wink and a nod for being a dude. The problem is that she took that and instead of making herself a softer, sympathetic and likable politician, she just doubled down on being harsh and unlikable.

    What is with Japanese game devs acting proud of being technologically in the 80s? Japanese games used to look like anime, then this gen they just look like shitty live action models attempting to look like anime and it looks awful. You play Capcom games and they feel like you're playing Dreamcast, they're stiff, look like a bad live action and anime mix, and just feel old. Serieses like megaman have so much potential to have ratchet at Clank style, modern, AAA level open world, but instead they just release another shitty 80s style side scroller

    It's weird, when the prequels came out, we all knew they were bad, with great bits, but we knew they're bad movies. Then we started making jokes about how good those bad movies were, and somewhere along the years the joke was lost, and people now legit think the PT is good. It isn't, it's got great bones but it's a badly executed trilogy

    For anyone who thinks Canadian cops are nicer, I still remember the G20 in Toronto. The police designated a park as a free speech zone, surrounded it, took off their name tags and put on masks, and began to beat the protesters. They tore a disabled man's prosthetic leg off and dragged him around, they took people away from cameras and beat them. Not a single cop, including the chief in charge, suffered a single consequence. And they wonder why we no longer feel sad when one dies.

    It's not about self defense. As long as you match, and don't exceed the aggressor's energy, you're within your rights. If someone punches you, you can punch back but you can't pile drive the guy, but you can hit back just as hard.

    The punch the FedEx driver threw wasn't meant to be fatal and was an acceptable retaliation after being verbally abused, then physically assaulted. It's not his fault the aggressor was glass Joe.

    I'm confused. By all accounts Jerry and the entire cast came together to point out their hate for Trump and Republicans. But because he doesn't agree with one issue he's been labeled as a right winger? I'm so far left that young leftists think I'm too extreme, to the point where they call be right wing for disagreeing with every tiny thing they say. The young left have become the keepers of "right/wrong think"

    Edit: a lot of young people who call themselves left, are doing everything possible to push people away from the left, instead of making them allies.

    The food basics near me rips you off a different way. They purposely leave expired items on the shelf long past their date. Every single trip I find multiple items that are weeks past and they're still front and center. If you don't check the dates religiously, you end up with a few things that are expired. I've complained to the store and head office and they don't even respond, they couldn't care less.

    They also never clean the produce racks, I've been seeing the same muck and stains for months

    And they've been selling frozen/thawed bread as fresh. When I go buy English muffins or fresh bread. I find many of the bread packages are cold and half frozen

    I wonder if a general strike with teachers and students is incoming. If there's one place where protesting any issue is born and should always be allowed, is a college or university. If you're not allowed to protest there, no way you'll ever be allowed to in a public space. Trying to break their spirits before they get to be full adults.

    I had a couple of sick kids all week so I didn't get a chance to grab some essential groceries all week, now that I have a chance I look online and it seems only the whole foods and rabba are the ones that are open today. Those are the two I usually avoid because of their ridiculous prices, so I was wondering why the cheaper places don't open, and if it has anything to do with Ontario law.

    Ashton Kutcher is a hypocrite and his anti human trafficking persona is just a smoke screen about his guilt over Danny Masterson.

    Ashton Kutcher seems to have jumped full force into the beginning of the meetoo movement, like a person. Who was trying really hard to not be accused. I believe his entire anti human trafficking organization was built to deflect accusations and blame over what he knew about and Danny Masterson. Ashton has shown zero support for Danny's accusers, even though they are all women he personally knows. Even after his guilty verdict, Ashton refuses to shun Masterson and continues to say shit like "I can never know for sure" and uses that to continue to hang out with the rapist, at least before he was jailed. Ashton was being neutral and waiting for a verdict you say? Was he that neutral about all the people his organization arrested for human trafficking? Did he give all those arrested the benefit of the doubt and a "we can't know" before they were convicted? No, he only seems to have that wait and see attitude about his buddy Danny. These rapes occurred over a long time, to women Ashton knew, so imo there's no way he didn't know or at least hear the rumors. Ashton Kutcher is a hypocrite, and continues to back his rapist friend, while trying to act like he actually cares about victims, which he doesn't.

She has no acting ability or charisma and was luckily forgotten and vanished from the show after a few episodes.
