If you mentally separate it into its own thing, it's not all that bad.

But as an adaptation of Asimov's Foundation Series? It may be the worst adaptation I've ever seen. Its more accurate to say it's inspired by Foundation.

"Based on" wouldn't be the right term. That would require some knowing intention to make a new version of an old story. I'm saying even if you try to make a new story, it'll either suck, or be very much like another story written thousands of years ago.

That's irrelevant to my actual argument.

If you're going to oversimplify a story that much, remember there are only a couple dozen or so different stories, and they were all written thousands of years ago.

In this case, Mickey 17 would more accurately be Moses in Space, just like Snowpiecer is Moses on a Train. And since neither are original, neither are that great.

It bugs me when people say corporations enable people to take risks. They don't. They eliminate risk. They allow people to do risky things without any personal accountability. Then they just shut down one corp, start another, and do it again.

They're there almost exclusively for the cameras. It's essentially a TV set.

I really want to setup a museum of all the crazy crap Trump has sold, or put his name on. Steaks, sneakers, diplomas, deeds to apartments in his buildings, those stimulus checks with his fake signature on them, everything.

It would be crazy to see it all next to each other. Along with how much he made or lost. It'll be the most perfect museum in the country. Some say even the world maybe.

Hillary did win the popular vote. By a lot.
People aren't remotely as sexiest as you think. It's just that 2% is all it takes to lock in an election pretty well

An educated guess.
Even during a session, the room is mostly empty. They don't bother listening to each others speeches most of the time. I'm sure nobody is bothering at 2am

I don't say things without thinking them through.

You came up with the construction worker metaphor. Maybe you didn't put any thought into that, I don't know.

I asked about if construction worker was working alone in the middle of the night. Just like Booker is talking to an empty room in the middle of the night.

To me they both seem strange, and unlikely to be helping much.

One guy.
Alone.
In the middle of the night.

That would be very strange. Just like this guy speaking to an empty room in the middle of the night.

It's nearly as strange, that you don't think it's strange at all.

What if they're doing it alone, in the middle of the night?
I'd hope you think that was strange at least.
