Long time no see as well.  Of course, call me traditional, I personally think that these things should remain private.  Of course, the only time that I indulged in this trend was when I was a stupid 15-year-old who was pressured by the (ex)
boyfriend and thankfully it did not go further than his phone.  We mutually broke it off with each other and we are on good terms (he's recently become engaged to his girlfriend of 4 years that he started seeing right after we broke up.  Of course dear friend, there are much worse things kids can be doing these days and for you (since you've seen A LOT of things let's just say that) it does not seem that bad with this stuff, but today's parents who have kids my age and younger are terrified about this because nowadays people have become more malicious with this stuff.  

Of course, you and I are both all about the titillation but it is taking a personal risk to send risque photos of yourself to somebody else, and in some countries (like mine) you can get into big trouble for sending them, but the shmuck who decides to post them everywhere without one's consent gets little to no punishment from the law.  I believe that we should not put everything out there for risk of retaliation and to save some of the bits and pieces for that special someone, but one thing to know is that when you tell kids not to do something, it's pretty much gonna mean that they're going to do it (it's the forbidden fruit effect).  Of course, that one time I did an Asselfie, I was wearing a couture sparkly dress that I got for a gala that was being held by a state politician so pretty much everything was covered, but you could see all my curves in the gown.  But I would not recommend women to do Asselfies, even if it's just for one person, because you don't know if that shmuck is going to let his friends see it lmao.

Seems like, if you wanted it so much, you shouldn't have lost it in the first place! It might have saved a lot of silly bother. Besides, we've been working very hard on not being a country for 300+ years! Well, not the *SAME* country. I'm sure if things carry on the way they are, we'll be back to warring nation states in a few generations. Which is when the Danes will have *right* where they want us and will launch the LEGO longboats.

I've seen a lot of people who had the initial reaction to the She-Hulk series as "ONOES! SJWs have ruined it!" When the only thing we knew was that it was a thing Disney was doing. I understand not wanting to build it up but gosh, you'll never get to wear your big boy trousers if you're going to impotently piss your pants at the mere theoretical possibility a thing might not be the exact thing you want it to be.

The art for it was great - even if I find the mucus membrane kind of distracting - the writing was... well, pure Lindelof. The best part is, the guy took... over three years to write what should have been done in six months.

Maybe he was saving his creative juices for Star Trek Into Darkness?!

He's a Hollywood hack who had the good fortune to nail his colours to the mast of JJ Abrams. There's not much more that needs to be said of him.

I honestly think Wonder Woman was praised so loudly because it was the first DCU film that didn't suck *AND* it was the first female superhero film that didn't suck. It was... OK but what does anyone really remember from it, other than maybe the "No Man's Land" bit? DC/WB weren't expecting much of it because it had vanishingly little promotion and then Justice League clearly got significant WW content added because... well, she was popular and they had to shine the turd.

Captain Marvel... I'm not sure I've seen that actress before but not a great first impression. Especially from a film franchise based around quirky, likeable characters. We do need to get away from the generic Marvel formula but gosh, that was not how to do it. I think we were in the last 20-30 minutes when my wife and I both laughed and said "OK, now it's a Marvel movie." I guess that's what happens when you spend the budget on digitally de-aging Samuel L. Jackson, rather than the script.

I remember a "Spitting Image" joking about Clinton spinning a globe and invading Wales... Some might see that as prescient of future foreign policy but I think it was more proscriptive. The USA is a young nation, still full of piss and vinegar, keen to prove itself to any and all comers by bombing them back to the stone age or overthrowing governments they don't like.

Trump is certainly an outlier though, I doubt we can comprehend how many scripts and screenplays have been penned before he's even finished his first term. I'm guessing there are forests the size of Wales being used to print them all.

Anyway, back to that She-Hulk show...

Given the topic of a live action She-Hulk has been a perennial topic of discussion... the fact she'll meet it in a TV show... I think that's interesting. Hopefully we don't need to do her origins in under 90 minutes. Having to use Jen Walters more and She-Hulk sparingly? Art from adversity but it's best to wait for the finished project.

Someone lighting her fire would be good though. Oh, now I'm just hoping now that someone sneaks that in.
