EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A VHS INTO THE SLOT. ITS FIFTTY SHADES OF GREY AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTERS, CHRISTIAN. I DO EVERY MOVE AND I DO EVERY MOVE HARD. MAKIN WHOOSHING SOUNDS WHEN I SLAM DOWN ON ANASTASIA’S INNER GODDESS OR EVEN WHEN I MESS UP…

Yeah I hope there’s an article about it soon. I came to check.

Dunning Kruger explains a lot of this. Faster-maturing girls would be less likely to be overconfident.

Waiting for Google?

Not to say that superhero movies are bad, or that they can’t be well written. But I understand what Ridley Scott is saying. “Magical dudes in personalized themed costumes fist-fighting” is a weird thing to anchor multiple blockbusters per year around.

Believe it or not, I’m actually in favour of retaining the present system, at least as long as the Queen and or Charles are monarchs (William is a lazy idiot). I just want people to understand that the money is ours, not theirs.

Not too surprised, I mean, when you look at his directing choices, none of them require the suspension of disbelief that a superhero movie does, with the lone exception of Batman.

Captain America is a modern myth, a person turned into a demi-god or god fighting monsters. Alien is basically about truckers getting into trouble at a pitstop and fighting to survive.

let’s put it another way, for american superhero movie fans - do you think los luchadores should be taken seriously? no! your knee-jerk reaction is “what the fuck, no, that’s ridiculous, my american superheroes are so much more grounded and psychologically real than los luchadores!” but, well, except, y’know, they’re…

Yeah, I decided not to rely on the numbers in that paragraph because of the last sentence — “This is a great contrast with normal genes, which can only spread in large populations if they are beneficial.” — that’s not quite accurate, thanks to genetic drift. (And because I was too lazy to check the reference. Genetics …

I hope the Catalan Tió de Nadal will be the next one. I mean, a log with a happy face that literally shits candy if you spank it, those Catalans are geniuses!

Came on to point out The Colony. Really bad low budget film that nonetheless managed to get a decent cast...even though whoever wrote the damn thing appears to have never experienced really cold weather.

posting to bump this post.

But could it be a good thing? It felt like Lost and True Detective tied themselves in knots just to make sure the nerds weren’t right. I could see the appeal of a show that’s actually guessable. The suspense may be gone a bit, but fan engagement might be higher. Not sure, tbh, just thinking out loud.

I know. It is damn near ruining GOT for me. I am having to rely on purposely not remembering things I see (or general senility) to not spoiler the whole damn thing months before the next season starts!

The most evil of all. He doesn’t even think of hammocks!

Or bad sitcoms where the star goes to a hynotist nightclub show and gets on stage and thinks he can’t be hypnotized but later every time a bell rights he farts or something.

I think they addressed some of the issue a couple weeks ago when the two techs were talking, they are assigned jobs based on personality and aptitude so I don’t think turnover would be a problem. As far as wondering if you’re a host, they kinda covered that as well. If I worked there, i would have my work friend try…

It’s amazing how the people who say shit like, “This is America, speak English!” typically have a loose at best grasp of the language themselves.

He makes me [sic] to my stomach.
