Comment on Here’s the thing about the debates. by Maxo

I used to consider myself a “moderate Democrat,” but with the polarization of both parties, I’m not sure it’s a thing that’s allowed anymore. Shockingly, while I am undeniably liberal in my politics, I don’t think all Republican ideas are crazy or evil or even wrong. I agree that when people agree to meet in the middle (or at least middle-ish), that empathy and intellectual openess can lead to actual progress. When did “progressive” become a dirty word, anyway?

I was actually glad when John Huntsman was still in the race. I think he is (or seems to be) a thoughtful, intelligent person with a broader view that isn’t limited to his own backyard. Unfortunately, he didn’t provide enough red meat for his own party and never had a chance. Which is a shame — he probably could have held his own with Obama, which could have only made the President rise to the occasion. Shouldn’t that be the least we expect from our elected leaders?

Outside of the fact that nobody would really want to watch a movie where the dad from Seventh Heaven runs around in space pajamas.

I dunno, I think I’d watch a movie where the guy who flew a tiny seaplane and kicked butt all over pre-WWII French Polynesia in “Tales of the Gold Monkey” runs around in space pajamas!

Seriously, great post, Kevin. Makes me think I should go back and watch TMP again since it’s been a few, um, decades.

Wow! I’ve had the wrong data about that in my head for the last twenty-something years, too! Thanks for the correction!

Sorry, man, but I had nothing whatsoever to do with the book version of the film. As far as I know, Roddenberry wrote it himself.

Comment on WHAT I’VE BEEN WATCHING: Magic Mike by Phil Rood

Sorry, I cut myself off.

Another point to make is on Olivia Munn. Not familiar with her, but on your point that she can’t act, I think that doesn’t matter so much to Soderbergh. Look back at Gina Carano in “Haywire” or Jennifer Lopez in “Out of Sight”. Not great actors but great for and in those movies. Soderbergh knows where people fit in a film and it’s more than whether or not they can read dialog convincingly.

I’ll likely see the movie, just because it is Soderbergh, but I’ll wait til it’s on video so I don’t have to deal with the bachelorette party atmosphere that is going on in the theaters. Soderbergh

I’m quite impressed that your involvement in this new venture has managed to go right under the radar of all the news reports I’ve seen about said venture. Guess no-one’s digging hard enough?

Love your Disco Potential sets. It helps those slow days at the office move a bit quicker.
