I only get to the theater maybe 5-6 times per year, and that's almost always with my spouse, so the movie is secondary to the experience.

I do watch a lot on streaming, and between the summary, genre, actors, director, and reviews, both professional and word-of-mouth...I can usually pick out what I will enjoy. If it turns out bad, it's one button to turn it off.

I will watch good movies, and skip terrible movies. Whether they are in a franchise or not has no bearing on it, for me.

So go ahead and make more. I may see it. I may not. But I'm not going to begrudge anyone who wants to see more of that character no matter what.

Your link doesn't mention Clinton at all, but starts with this:

Federal law does not allow national referendums in the United States where the general population gets to vote on an issue.

It happens at the State level regularly (in states where it's used), but it's not something a President can initiate.

Can you be more specific? The US doesn't have any mechanism for a national referendum on a specific issue. Usually when people use that term, they're talking about mid-term elections (and reelection bids) being a "referendum" on a President's total popularity.

I'm not aware of any top-tier professional team sports league that says "women can't play on the men's team."

Some individual sports are totally segregated, but there are no rules that say Premiere League* teams or NHL teams can't have a woman. The fact that no "mens" teams do play women says quite a bit about the level of physical separation at that top level. Even if it happens one day, and I think it will, it will be single digits per year, max, for a long, long time.

If women want to have a chance to play those sports at the top level, they need their own league.

* Maybe a bad example, I'm not actually familiar with those rules, but sub in any of dozens of other pro leagues around the world that aren't segregated by rule, but are by pragmatism.

First game I specifically asked for from my parents: Stunt Driver. Must have been in the first half of 1990.

First game I saved up for and bought myself: Super Mario Bros 3. Much of the money I saved came in the summer of 1990, so that would have been in late summer of that year.
