I get that distilling a long-winded celebrity sililoquoy into a punchy version of its base message is a pretty witty way of exposing the underlying absurdity or hypocrisy of the statement, but where it’s just a fairly straightforward and facially earnest apology, it just comes across as “I don’t like X, so I’m going…

Imagine if there was a comedian who genuinely had the Transatlantic accent in this day and age....

That reminds me of a story. A friend of mine was with some of his buddies at an amusement park circa 2002. When they left the park, they found an unmarked video cassette on the hood of his car. They took it home and later, while hanging out, they popped it into the VCR. It proceeded to play the minute-long horror…

In truth, Deadpool 2 definitely could have used bit more of Negasonic’s trademark deadpan one-liners and it would have been fantastic if Yukio was given more character development.

On behalf of everyone here, let me thank you for sharing that gripping tale of sarcastic confusion and smug rejection of something mildly out of sync with your expectations. The fact that many people profess to enjoy a thing only serves to underline the heroism inherent in your casual apathy towards it. Bravo.

That’s the exact example I was thinking of..

I don’t think he was “new and different.” I think that, even at that time, he was just a shittier version of Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio and any number of other Marvel artists that eventually jumped ship with him. As I recall, the market ultimately got flooded by artists with vaguely similar styles (e.g., Dale Keown,…

But it’s such a blatant use of the trope...

No guide to X-Force would be complete without noting that, like Deadpool, the team was created by Rob Liefeld, an artist who exemplified not only the worst excesses of 90s-era comic book art, but also the levels of success one could achieve in the field at that time with little or no discernible talent.

How did he take it when you told him? Was he heartbroken? I bet he was...

Melissa Mccarthy’s surprise turn as Michael Che’s doting stepmom was the strongest—and warmest . . .

Pan is still a male, so that would just make her heterosexual.

I think you missed the joke.

My guess? If they’re being at all faithful to the book, they’re going to have to use a fuck-ton of flashbacks. Otherwise, it’s just going to be a big expository chyron at the beginning, followed by a lot of increasingly disheveled dudes talking to one another.

As long as I’m checked in, I’m “in” the room. Once I’m checked out, I’m “out” of the room. Beyond taking reasonable steps to prohibit damage, theft, excessive noise, health hazards, illegal activity or blatant violations of clearly posted “house rules,” the hotel is out of bounds in any efforts to prescribe how I use…

Okay,

If I knew that’s how they operated, I would — without a doubt — upon leaving the hotel room, promptly turn around, swipe my key card, open the door and close it again, in the hopes that it would fool the computer into thinking that I had taken a brief stroll out into the hallway and returned to my room.

Four hours? Why would you pay to stay in a room where you have to endure four hours at a less-than-decent temperature? I can see doing that if you’re a guest in someone else’s home, but for a hotel, the climate control needs to be at least as good as the places you typically live, work and dine. Otherwise, it’s just…

...or because they leave for the day and want to find their room cool when they arrive even if it’s half a day later...
