I wonder how the “Earff” thing began and spread so consistently as a meme pre-internet. Maybe I’m crazy, but I remember playfully reciting the line as “Earff” not long after the movie came out in ‘94. Maybe there was some cross-over effect from a line Smith delivered in Fresh Prince of Bell-Air, which was still fresh…

Let’s see, that must be absurdly-stupid-line #967 in that movie.

Looks pretty damn neat. That in no-way justifies the shit-show realities of the project. But it’ll look pretty freaking awesome in the movies for next few decades, at least. Can’t wait to build my own scale model version.

Dear lord. You think we’re intelligent enough to? ... I mean, suppose such a thing were used in a place where life already exists...

And most of those were garbage.

Right, especially when all of the major Superhero storylines have already been covered. 15 years from now, today’s toddlers will associate Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Chris Evans as Captain America, and they’ll react to attempts to reboot those movies about as well as my generation (post X’er, pre-Millenial) has…

Very optimistic of you, but you’re not taking into account the fickle nature of the general population. The crowds of Average-Joes who keep these franchises in business could very easily start to tire of this endless parade of comic-book movies, and goofy fantasy movies in general. Just because it has become “cool” to…

Jesus, thanks for that. Now I’m bummed out too. I’ll be half-way into 37 by the time Infinity War part 2 comes out. I can only hope I’ve somehow made peace with my aging by then.

Yeah, I’m with you. I’m less of a “comics fan” than a “Superhero movie fan,” and I rarely haul my ass to the theater more than a couple of times a year anyway. I doubt I’m going to see even a quarter of these, with most movies I’m content to read the bad reviews and catch pirated snippets on Youtube. I’ll probably go…

That is a beautifully well-preserved skull.

All I know is that Fallout 4’s dog better be marked as Essential or something. Fallout 3’s original Dogmeat was practically useless as a companion due to his lack of HP and the fact that aggro’ed enemies prioritize him as a target. Then Broken Steel DLC turned him into a Godly immortal beast that laughs off swipes…

In addition to bugs, I also love frogs, and amphians in general. It’s a shame we’re helping to wipe out their habitats worldwide. Unfortunately, in many cases, they are such fragile creatures adapted to fragile ecosystems to begin with, it seems like merely continuing to exist is a struggle for most of them, even…

Protoceratops absolutely existed, it’s one of the most well-established species of dinosaur known. You’re thinking Torosaurus being absorbed into the Triceratops family.

When I lived near, and went to high school on, an AF base, I remember the fighter jets were always the loudest planes when they took off and landed. The F-16s and F-15’s were definitely loud. But I vaguely remember some FA-18s landed one day, and they seemed even louder. The loudest of all, however, were the F-111s,…

I thought that Black Widow and Hulk’s romance was pretty charming in Age of Ultron, but I can’t imagine a more awful relationship. They would be that miserable married couple that spreads their unhappiness everywhere they go, in a matter of a few weeks. They’re both so damaged, and while sharing that kind of headspace…

I’ve gone back and tried to play NES games as an adult. If anything, they’re even harder now, since I’ve gotten used to current games that pretty much hold one’s hand every step of the way. I’m sure Top Gun is no different.

I could never beat that level. I think it’s the first one.

Yeah, definitely the people. The first time I played through Halo was a co-op game with someone who isn’t the most technically proficient fps-player, and was absolutely terrified of the Flood, but knew the level layouts pretty well. So here I am, trying to keep up with this player, constantly freaking out and yelling…

Saw Eternal Sunshine with an ex the first night we got back together in an attempt to recapture the old magic after having been broken up a couple of years. It was incredibly fitting, and somehow neither of us got the irony at the time. Of course the relationship was a bitter failure the second time around. And even…

For me, the dated tech of Alien is a feature, not a bug. Of course, as geeky sci-fi technology speculation, it looks ridiculously dated even by the standards of 80s sci-fi movies, but it’s not about that. It’s about that really cool, legitimately ‘gritty’ visual style of late 70s film-making. I can’t really describe…
