We can officially call this film part of the lexicon now: ‘John Wick’ has become a verb. Specifically, in multiplayer gaming - when one has to solo against teams of opponents. “Last night in Pub-gee my squad wiped in the first ten minutes, but I ended up John Wicking everyone and got my chicken dinner.”

I’d call it worth it for the Pigeon Shit Theatre restaging of Neo and Morpheus Enunciate Again.

Well, it seems apparent that Wick respects her in some sense (whether for her character, her station, or her family is unclear), and does not seem thrilled at all to be doing this particular job (even beyond wanting to be done with killing). And it’s also clear she accepts her death the second she sees it’s John Wick…

Something not mentioned in this article: in a poor-to-working class neighborhood like mine, our local library performs so many crucial child services - temporary day care, afterschool program, tutoring and mentoring, and perhaps most importantly in a crime-ridden city, providing a safe, nurturing environment run by…

My apologies for relying on the old prejudices of my community, in hindsight perhaps the least reliable source of information. I defer to your informed perspective and if I could retract the comment I would.

Unfortunately, that’s an equivalence that seems logical, but doesn’t hold up to either history or current events: the people and governments of China, Japan, and Korea haaaaate each other, only slightly less now than they have for a long, long time. Shoot, you have tensions even between direct relations among them,…

I’m with you - The Martian just seemed so disappointingly like typical Hollywood product, with incredibly predictable beats without the emotional or psychological foundation to invigorate the cliches. And at the same time repackaging the ultratechnical edge the novel is famous for in a typical For Dummies manner. But…

I don’t think that’s right, either: The Martian features speculative tech that doesn’t exist yet (a manned mission to Mars is still fairly far down the road), whereas Gravity is very precisely real world tech, so The Martian qualifies as SF while Gravity doesn’t.

This seems, at least from the brief description given, much more like “I know the correct answer because I’m familiar with the source material, but this particular presentation seems convoluted and unclear, so let’s see if people who don’t know the source were able to figure it out without foreknowledge.” So, a test…

Holy fucking shit

I don't think you've read much Captain America. He hasn't been a moral or political conservative, in the modern sense, in nearly fifty years. Even as someone from another era, he's canonically a New Deal Democrat, a viewpoint at the very bedrock of 20th century progressivism. He's always been portrayed as an…

Okay, that's not bad, especially for Land, but c'mon - Sienkiewicz riffing on his own Bobby Digital in Stereo cover?? That's awesome. He even turned the Wu symbol into the SHIELD eagle!

It's tough waitin' for yer space girlfriend to get legal.

LET 'IM HAVE IT.

I'm totally in the bag for her superdorkiness, and can't wait for her to star in more sketches. She seems like a Nasim Pedrad character come to life.

Well, banh mi are already Vietnamese po'boys - they're made on scooped out French bread smeared with mayo just like po'boys, and dressed with Thai basil, onions, cilantro, and chiles like in the soup. (Along with carrots, sometimes sprouts, and if you're lucky, pate.) I have had fried shrimp and fried catfish banh…

Jenny Slate is inarguably one of the most successful SNL alumns of the past decade. She starred in a critically acclaimed indie darling and won a Critic's Choice; she's starred or guested in a slew of hit TV comedies, is a staple of the podcast/chat show circuit, is doing voice work in some of the biggest animated…

Put Merriam-Webster on notice: January isn't even over yet, and 'fucture' is already the Word of the Year.

"You can't come up with a greater buffoon than Donald Trump. The fact
that he thinks he can be president of the United States is one the best
jokes I've read in a long time. At least I hope."
