But for reasons scientists don’t understand, about 20 percent of people get severely ill.

I will leave the goddamn presidential slot blank in November.

The Straight Story is great — I saw it on DVD a while ago and found it Lynchian while also heartwarming. Plus, that pun in the title — since it’s about Alvin Straight and is literally Lynch’s most straightforward film.

From the NY Times article you linked:

With a smartphone and some wi-fi, all drinking is online drinking. Never drink alone again! I have all my friensss on twitzler to tak toooooooo

I had been wondering where this recap was all day (I need my fix) and when it finally appeared, man, it did not disappoint.

But when will we get the Sweet Valley High series we deserve?

But Netflix officially canceled Punisher more than a year ago, so by the time it would hit theaters, the two years should be up.

You have any citation for that? Because according to the Netflix contracts, Marvel has to wait two years before they can use those characters in other things.

Nah, he has to stay as the Punisher. Just put on a low-budget R-rated film that would easily make it’s budget back. (Of course, Disney is probably averse to doing either of those things — R-rated or low budget.)

Hey, The Shape of Pasta is actually about a woman fucking a sentient piece of pasta! Don’t kinkshame!

“No good deed remains unpunished” is just the truth. He was saying don’t do it (because, again, Riker would never try to dissuade Picard from doing anything), he was saying that doing it would get Picard into a lot of trouble, which it did.

When did he advise against the aid? Riker never said he advised against it, only that he told Picard he would be “ass-deep in Romulans.” You are assuming things that were never stated.

This isn’t an Enterprise show. And they aren’t Starfleet officers anymore.

Riker didn’t tell him not to go — he just asked if he wanted to be up to his ass in Romulans. Which I guess he did.

I mean, technically, Marvel’s Ruins had a floating Galactus corpse before anyone else did:

This reminds me of xkcd:

Lemire’s run on the book was okay, although it always felt like a cheap knock-off of the Fantastic Four (complete with cheap knock-off of Doctor Doom). From what I’ve seen of Yang’s run, however, he’s taken it in a much more interesting direction, while still keeping the “explorers and super scientists” part that…

It’s a television show, not a documentary. There also was not a group of Nazi hunters in 1970s New York.

but that scene is schlocky as hell and represents nothing remotely real.
