Honestly, all the multiversal cameos in DS2 felt kinda mean-spirited in a childhood bully way. I’m fine with the characters dying, it was the execution that felt off. Instead of using familiarity as a shortcut to make us feel the impact of their deaths, they just dangled some fanservice then shit all over it. It was…

It’s interesting. It’s called Superman Legacy, and fittingly every other character so far is part of a superhero legacy - Guy’s the third Green Lantern of Earth, Hawkgirl’s the latest reincarnation of an ancient (sometimes alien) warrior queen, Mr Terrific’s the inheritor of a Golden Age Mystery Man moniker - but then…

That shootout does serve an important narrative purpose, though. Without it, there’s always going to be some nagging possibility that one of them is lying about their love. The shootout establishes that both of them are willing to die on the chance that the other loves them enough to miss. This sets up some stakes - Fu…

My main question is “Can you actually hear the dialogue?” I quit seeing Nolan movies at the theatre some time back because I need the fucking subtitles to actually make out what characters are saying.

Kids do dumb shit. That’s part of being a kid. You’d have to be a real dumb piece of shit to blame kids for adults taking advantage of their childishness.

Since this article doesn’t actually describe the debunking:

Spot on. The version of the ad on the Paramount+ Twitter is all about how the anomaly has left him completely human, physically and emotionally. Human DNA, normal ears, wavy hair, and no Vulcan emotional suppression.

Strange World also got fuck-all marketing. A lot of people only knew it even existed after it was released. Disney seems happy to invest in making these films (or in Nimona’s case, not so much), but doesn’t want to invest in actually marketing the damned things.

Fieri seems like a case of “Stay polite with the fuckwit so I don’t alienate that part of my base”. I’d be very surprised if the other three aren’t genuine Trump supporters, even if Bro Grogan likes to feign neutrality and centrism.

It would be parody if it featured characters like “Catman” and “the Jokester”. This is just unauthorized use.

You chose the pay rate of a principal player on an hour show. Most SAG members aren’t principal players. They’re getting far lower rates that work out to be close to minimum wage for being on hand for fourteen hours a day, in jobs that don’t last all year and have no PTO, which require you to spend weeks auditioning…

Her “level-headed way” of responding tipped her hand. A normal person would have used at least one pronoun in that response. Cameron-Bure avoided them altogether, making a grammatically clunky statement by using Miss Benny’s full name every time to avoid saying “she” and “her”.

How a normal person would write that:

Fingers crossed the country stars start picking up on “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution”.

I’ve been finding it useful as a kind of interactive Refresh Your Knowledge tool. Used it to brush up on PowerShell and Python, and for figuring out how to reword things to make them easier for students to understand. But of course that relies on me having that knowledge to begin with, and with it the ability to see…

But Superman is fundamentally about the immigrant experience in America, and seeing the world that he lost is a huge part of the character.

“Innocent until proven guilty” is a standard for determining if the State has the power to deprive you of liberty. It is not a standard for people to decide their personal opinions or how to exercise their freedom of association.

Mythbusters did an episode where the tested the effects of the pressure 300ft below the surface on a “human” body:

Cage match. Weld the cage shut.

I was kinda surprised they made the “spook” joke. Figured that term was so far out of use it’d sail right past their target demos.
