I think it’s a physics thing that I assume they’ll explain in the movie. Something like for every barbie there is an equal and opposite anti-barbie. 

I’m not saying the movie is gonna be bad! I like Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach. I’m sure that it will be fun, and probably smarter than a toy commercial ought to be.  But I also think that the hype for it is largely internet-driven and probably in a bubble. 

The most egregious snub to me: Ginger Snaps, the greatest feminist werewolf movie! And one of the best horror movies of the last 25 years. Directed by John Fawcett (also the co-creator of Orphan Black)

Barbie is almost certainly gonna be a likably fun, disposable movie that does a *very* modest box office and once again prove that what is hyped on the internet does not in any way reflect the real world.

Recognizable I.P. is what people crave? No. Brawndo™ is what people (and plants) crave. It's got electrolytes. 

Everything was going just great until the avalanche.

The word is bearish. Bullish means you support. And who the fuck is Dickson?

I don’t wish ill on Edward Packard, but it’ll be a small failure of the universe if his death isn’t the result of a benign, safe choice.

I prefer the old Superfriends cartoon Lex Luthor backstory. He was a friend of Superboy’s who was trying to develop a cure for his weakness to kryptonite until a fire broke out in his lab and Superboy callously put it out with his superbreath. Which caused hot vapors to blow onto Lex and cost him his lovely head of…

Personally I think Lois’ character could only be improved with the addition of a solid gold arm.

Indeed, Dave Cornsweat playing a Kansas famer.

This seems like a bad idea on its face (I’d be more interested in seeing the first Hunger Games if they’re going to revisit it) but trying to shoehorn Lawrence into it would be a bad AND stupid idea. You want an ancestor, get Haley Bennett.

What? I can agree the term gets thrown around a bit too much, and I’d agree that Black Widow doesn’t really count, but this feels like a pretty straightforward case. Prominent female character gets killed as a plot device to motivate the protagonist. Unless Hill comes back fairly quickly (not at the very end of the…

If anything I think comedians are more susceptible to becoming reactionary cranks, precisely because humor is so rooted in the here and now, and they feel all the more disoriented when culture passes them by.

Would that we all had that excuse for being late for work.

If no one has told you this, you come off as a dick.

Got it. Abusive workplaces are fine because a lot of workplaces do it.
