Yeah. And I've reigned in my expectations enough to say that the new Pearl Jam record will be as good as Vitalogy

But are you voting in favor of the proposed Ghostbusters Cinematic Universe?

I would legit be more interested in a Louis Tully standalone movie than I would be for a young Han Solo one.

So the 7 little dwarves had a limited partnership in a small mining operation. And one day a beautiful princess came to live with them. And they bartered housekeeping services for room and board, which was a real good deal for them because they didn't have to withhold social security or income tax or nothin', which you're really not supposed to do, you see, but for the purpose of the story, I think it's okay.

Is it too late to invest in this George Lucas guy? He seems like he might have a few good ideas.

This is an unconfirmed rumor, but interesting, regarding Maz Kanata's role being reduced in the final cut of the film.

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Star-War ... 97787.html
Spoiler: show
In all of the trailers and TV spots, there hasn’t been much seen from Nyong’o’s character, one of the few completely CGI creations in the film named Maz Kanata. We’ve heard her voice, but aside from one quick glimpse in an ad (which has pretty well be scrubbed from the internet) and appearing on a poster, she’s remained relatively hidden.

According to a new report from the Sun, she had trouble with the motion capture process, and her role may have been reduced as a result. A source tells the tabloid:
The CGI seemed to be what Lupita struggled with, perhaps because it meant she felt less of a connection to the character.

There was a general sense that something wasn’t working so a lot of her scenes ended up being either re-worked or cut. Unfortunately she just didn’t end up delivering.
