I’m glad I’m so old now that I won’t have to put up with the black screen Batman movie that’s coming up in the near term future for the rest of you. I hated the time I used to watch this one, and only glad that we watched it at night, because the blinds in our living room don’t do an adequate  job of blocking the…

Echoing the other sentiments here, I thought The Batman was just fine.

Spot-on casting, masterfully shot, drop-dead gorgeous cinematography, a Gotham that looked and felt like a real live place rather than just straight up boring ass Chicago like in Nolans films or some Gothic/Art-Deco nightmare like Burton and…

The Batman was fine I guess. I wasn’t amazed with it like I was when I first saw “Batman” or “Batman Begins”.

autogyros exist, using rotors as unpowered wings. In fact they’re a fascinating aircraft technology that’s largely been limited to recreational craft like the Wallis Autogyro but the technology has serious potential.

Auto-rotation maybe? Even then that doesn’t seem like something to plan for and is a far cry from “gliding” - more like marginally-controlled-crashing.

It’s really weird that people remember Aliens as this wall-to-wall action movie, when almost an entire hour goes by before a single shot is fired. And then there’s another forty-plus minutes before the big action finale kicks in, and even that has multiple stages. The rest is just waiting, and the movie does a…

Scott went and blew canon to shit with Covenant.  The timelines no longer match up, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

I hope the show doesn’t rely on the Prometheus canon. If so, I’ll pass on watching it.

with his co-host, ‘O’n’li Fanzz.

Tangentially related: Max Rebo has pulled his music from Spotify, so something is up. 

When Cad Bane talked about keeping the spice running, you just know the writers were weighing how much of the audience would smirk versus how much would roll their eyes.

That’s more on Comcast and probably the WWE than him.

Sometime you have to pick your battles. Know when to hold’em/fold’em. We all have to compromise sometimes. To do otherwise you’re basically Rorschach from Watchmen. And that may seem noble, when you’re young and dumb, but it has a habit of everyone being worse off by the end.

The way this season is going, the next episode could be all about Max Rebo! Also waiting for a Pyke to say, “The spice must flow!”

Calling it now: spinoff -> Rebo Jazz. A show that takes place in his one bedroom bunker under the sands of Tatooine. He essentially samples, spins!, and plays piano.

Right?  Like at first I figured it would be a light-hearted romp, but it’s SO MUCH MORE.

He’s like a modern day Leonardo da Vinci. He wrestles, he acts, he plays the piano, fluent in Mandarin. Before we know it, he’ll be designing spacecraft as a hobby or something.

At least we’d have a better health care system

Lucky for us that Vikings did not discover dynamite. Or maybe not: we would instead be Finns or Nowegians or Swedes or Danes...
