but did it have the same wow factor as the first Avengers movie? Did fans have the same unabashed passion? I’d argue no.

....“justice porn”??

“she’ll never get married looking/acting like that”

pushback =! outright rejection

Achilles scene was... I rebuked it. REBUKE.

I don’t get it. the fatality is one of the most endearing examples of completely absurd violence that everyone understands. If you’re going to film these “realistically”, there’s no hot sauce too hot for it. This is awesome for a homemade bit, but we’re nowhere near the “pause the vid” line.

I hate the final theory because it comes from the same brain that does clickbait “dark” interpretations of children’s cartoons and the ending is always some kind of illusion or forever loop. It’s a meme at this point and completely boring. it’s what Mass Effect fans resorted to when they couldn’t handle the outrage of…

As a non-Clevelander who loves Cleveland, yet remains mostly unaffected by the Browns’ perennial loserdom, yet has a soft spot for the team so that their loserdom grates nonetheless: don’t do this.

You’re lamenting how it broke its simplicity promise, having invited the very things that complicated things in the first place. I said no to Apple Music right off the bat and nothing has changed for me. I didn’t need this garbage and I never will.

I think I’ve found someone to fill the Caity Weaver-shaped hole in my life, determined by doing the “wondering who the hell wrote this midway through the column” maneuver three times in rapid succession. The Bill Simmons warmed me up, The Superman made me bang my desk with a mostly internal whoop, and now this…

I had a friend from Seattle come visit over the weekend and he talked about how they wanted their Supersonics back so bad, as I looked at a semi-rundown-but-not-tragic house thinking how it was gonna get condo-scrubbed because this city had to fight to hang on to a team that has sucked for 90% of 30 years.

That episode now threatens to blight the one thing about his mayoral reign that most townies agreed was a positive.

hee hee hee

I’ve been hollering this argument with varying degrees of articulation that fell well short of the smackdown gifted to me this morning (Goth Winklevoss, Darth Zimmerman!), and I thank you.

You tried, I commend you, and these animals are indeed delightful and cool, but don’t you ever come for dinosaurs in this manner again. I will not have this.

This is sad and weird and the best excuse going for it is “Oh yeah, like the rich deserve any personal dignity!!”

as someone who used to be at least semi-defensive about what dubstep originally was, it warms the cockles that they've labeled how people generally know it today as 'dubstep product'

"Star Trek," which started out campy and then, especially with the J.J. Abrams stuff, became legit somehow

Most of these sound like Batman knock-offs, sure, but they also sound like they're not trying to get to the point of batman at all, but to remix it using things that are distinctly non-batman. It's no crime to not be a proper batman rip-off if you're just using the gritty springboard (which, to be fair, shouldn't be…

I get asked sometimes why I'm not loud&proud about it and I tell them it's because male feminists don't say that shit out loud if they're not either creepy or vaguely pathetic. Like:
