I saw this show in LA. It was awesome, not mansplain-y in the slightest. FAR AND AWAY though the best part was all the stoned dude-bros who'd obviously driven in from the 'bu who were pretty fucking baffled - if good-naturedly so - by the change in pace from his earlier shows.

Face it, Manhattan just isn't dense or rich enough for the free market to provide good internet. Only wealthy, tightly packed cities like Kansas City and Knoxville can have gigabit internet.

If you don't have FiOS in your Manhattan building, talk to the building. In the large majority of cases, it's the building that's the barrier, Verizon wants to do it, but they need to get in there, run verticals (involves drilling through floors), run drops on the individual floors (involves pulling down moldings in…

I just found out that a "David A. Angar" will be in an upcoming episode of Agents of SHIELD. I hope he still dresses like this:

Fun fact: I actually work across three time zones. io9's mainsite runs on Pacific, Toybox runs on Eastern, and I'm actually based in England so we're on GMT right now (we won't swap over to BST, our DST equivalent, for a couple more weeks).

Everybody has been predicting that an Avenger will die in Avengers: Age of Ultron. And the smart money has been on Hawkeye, for various reasons. But now, the smart money has been proved wrong. Turns out that Jeremy Renner is already on board to reprise his role as Hawkeye in Captain America 3.

I think I have a full face picture of the new Joker:

I really like the idea of eight episodes a shot for Agent Cater. Hopefully that will keep both the depth and quality of the story telling up there. Oh, and more Howling Commandos please.

Sounds like that picture going around of Kylo Renn was the real deal, if LR is right about the trailer. Which, is a disappointing look compared to Vader. But admittedly that look is so iconic it might be unbeatable.. But, more and more it seems the spoilers have been on point, for Force Awakens. That makes me…

It literally would've taken less time to type "jamoke" into a Google search than to type out your comment. Don't be a tool.

Looking things up might do you good. "Jamoke" is decades old. It's been in use since at least the 40's to mean sucker/loser/chump/idiot.

Guys, this movie is about getting high and watching the final act while listening to a synched-up playing of "Echoes" by Pink Floyd.

Brad Pitt's character in Ocean's 11 ate or drank in every scene.

I've noticed this decline over the past 5 years. I saw it in the Port Authority and in bus service in general. I think there are 3 things going on here:

where another monolith awaits, looming like a giant diner menu in space.

The food compartments on these dinner trays are Monolith-shaped, too.

I managed to see it again on the big screen recently. One thing that struck me—the interview the astronauts and HAL give to the BBC reporter is about 5-10 minutes long in the film, but probably would have included 2 or 3 hours of waiting for the signal to travel between Earth and the Discovery between every question…

My God! It's full of lunch!

Even though you've never met someone, there is the sense that, for a time we traveled together through this world, bound together by our humanity and common experiences, and now one of us is gone, and the other has to keep going. All we can do for the dead is remember them.
