Opinions Vary: Or How Opinions Can Conform when Book Covers Fly Out the Window of Tow Trucks Operated by Exceedingly Curious Drivers
In Opinions Vary, we deal in opinions that might be a bit off-beat or strange compared to ones held by non-frequenters of this site. But in truth, when it comes to our everyday lives in the real world, we oftentimes harbor conventional opinions that aren’t too far off from those of many people around us. In our own little ways, in our own little lives, we follow the cultural norms, retain common-sense beliefs, and exhibit etiquettes we’ve absorbed from family, friends, educators, and just about anyone else who give us the time of day. These opinions are the tried-and-true sentiments of our social souls; there’s little to nothing individual or unique about them, in and of themselves. What is individual and unique, however, is how we take these opinions on and how we solidify and reinforce them through personal experience. Even if we might ultimately conform to these popular sentiments, these opinions are genuine because how we get them and keep them is what gives each its own variation and an extra vitality that’s dependent on its holder, making it more meaningful and alive. After all, the tried-and-true has to be tried and found to be true in order for it to stay that way for each person.

RIAN JOHNSON writing and directing ‘EPISODE VIII’, writing ‘Episode IX’ treatment
Of course huge Star Wars news drops while I’m on my way to a wedding. And away from my computer for an entire day. Of course.
Elon Musk: HUMANS on MARS by 2026. Oh. Okay.
I feel like every time I turn around Elon Musk is saying or doing something fucking wonky. Like, is this dude just talking out his ass these days because we’re all tuned into him? I ask because frankly I don’t want this Rich Prick getting my Space Fanboy Dick up at attention for nothing. Don’t tell me we’re on the Red Planet in twelve years unless you can deliver, bro.
‘Better Call Saul’ Renewed For A Second Season. Before The First Has Even Aired~!@
Welluhokay! It appears that AMC has renewed Better Call Saul for a second season, before the first one has even aired. In fact, they’ve also pushed back the debut of said first season. So there’s that! What…what exactly is everyone expecting from this show? I’ve sort of written it off like every other spin-off that I’ve ever crossed paths with. But who knows. I hope I’m wrong.
‘Catlateral Damage’ becoming a full game. Amazing.
Somehow I missed out on Catlateral Damage earlier this year as it was pawing around (HA, fuck you) the Internet as a demo. But now the son of a bitch is becoming a full game, and you can bet your ass I’m onboard.

Rumor: ‘ANT-MAN’ Villain Revealed. (No, it’s not Kevin Feige.)

Paul Cornell: Worrying About Superhero Deaths Is “Pretty Meaningless.”
Wolverine writer Paul Cornell is weighing in on the source of one of comics’ eternal debates. The life, death, and resurrection of Capes. According to the guy who is going to have a hand in Killing Wolverine this Autumn, we shouldn’t sweat the death and resurrection cycle. Instead we should appreciate the story. What say you?
