They just don’t make superheroes like bicycle repair man anymore:

Oh, well, I’m sure if you’d made clear earlier that you were a Michelin-Star-Eating-Motherfucker, everybody would have agreed that you were right and they were wrong and asked for forgiveness.

Counterpoint: a paying customer has the right to ask for a product that is normally served in an array of levels of being cooked and a cook worth his skill will know how to prepare it in such fashion and still be good. These chefs and the dregs of society known as steak snobs are they overgrown babies that constantly…

Yeah, totally! A properly cooked well done steak is plenty juicy and I have gotten good at cooking them. You have to switch up how you approach a steak to be cooked well done to better do it justice. I constantly see people bitching about cooking well done steak while cooking it like a steak you would cook to a…

My order is medium-rare because, like basically everyone you interviewed, I understand how fantastic a steak tastes when cooked to medium-rare. (By the way, someone should fire Kevin Pang for ruining a medium-rare ribeye with some steak sauce, and doubling-down on doing so by saying it wasn’t just for the assignment,…

I love Harry Potter as much as the next guy, but it’s full of ideas that would be extremely terrible in real life. The Sorting Hat and the tribalism associated with the Hogwarts Houses are two of them.

From some of the trailers I get the impression that Delevingne and... whoever the main guy is are supposed to be love interests but there is something about them that makes my brain go “well clearly they are siblings on an adventure!”

If he and everyone else treats casting PoCs like some kind of racial carbon offset then yeah, it counts for nothing.

Derrickson whitewashed the role but she didn’t have to take it. At bare minimum she could have walked away, and while some other white woman could have taken it her hands would’ve been clean. She could have even stood up and said to Derrickson “I’m not taking it because of x,y,z you should realize what you’re doing is…

For the record, They don’t like being called “horse people”. Centaur is the preferred nomenclature.

Unimpressed. The IOC should have Sepultura open the games with “Territory”. It feels oddly appropriate.

I work at an office with this freakishly tall dude. I’m average height, so I thought it would be funny if I acted like we were in the same height category. This guy has never laughed at my joke, and I realized that it really bothered him. I’ve been doing this for two years just to see how long it takes for him to…

Yeah, fuck jellyfish

Man, I love the conveyor belt grocery game - I’ll even rearrange items that I’ve already placed on the moving belt to achieve optimum bagging efficiency and grocery protection. I get moderately angry when the checker ignores my perfect placement and sequence, reaches back in the order, and puts the laundry detergent…

On the Gawker sites, anything DC is inherently bad unless it’s a TV show. But those TV shows are nothing compared to Marvel shows, which have nothing on Dr Who. Dr Who is the default standard of greatness in TV. The MCU is the default standard of greatness in movies and will never be held to any sort of standard like…

This spoilery review starts assuming MOS was bad, again saying Superman was just killing civilians in a place that was a war zone thanks to the world engine and it is now desolated. I loved that movie and I really starting to hate why the F! does a movie can only be good if it had jokes. I can enjoy Deadpool and I can…

this movie is relentlessly grim and gritty and resolutely No Fun Whatsoever

Either way, everyone is fucked when THANOSEID comes:

I have a real soft spot for Amalgam. Same with DC’s Elseworlds. I have a soft spot for high-concept experimentation, even if the results are uneven, at best. Amalgam was too prone to presenting as many characters as possible. They often contradicted each other, existing solely for the sake of existing.

Doctor Strangefate was my favorite.
