Just reading this made me laugh out loud. Picturing it, though…I don't know how to feel about that.

Goddamn you. God. Damn. You.

Solid list. Unsurprised that all four of Edgar Wright's films made it, they're all pretty much untouchable in terms of quality. Generally happy with all of these, even if, by the intro paragraph's own parameters, Ocean's Eleven and Punch-Drunk Love probably shouldn't be on here (despite being two incredible films in…

Been refreshing on Mr. Robot by re-watching the first season before the season 2 premiere on Wednesday. I've been salivating over the return of this show and going back through season 1 is reminding me why. Especially after knowing [REDACTED], it makes viewing the early episodes a completely different experience.

Really, they should have just called it Pet Story and at least been honest about what they were doing. I've never seen such an obvious cynical palette-swap in my life. Worst part is, nobody seems to notice, or if they do then they don't seem to care. I know plenty of people dying to see this movie who should really…

That's true, as far as I know. I also don't know for sure though.

That would be interesting. I mean, I just hope they don't kick her to the curb when they inevitably decide to bring Stark back. Kind of makes it all for nothing if that happens, right?

Yeah, the likely impermanence of this move kind of undercuts the gesture of adding more diversity to the comics. It's like "Here, you can have her for a little while but don't get too comfortable with her because we'll be replacing her in a year or so." Same thing with Sam Wilson's Captain America, and he wasn't even…

Twitter is also rife with (justifiable) complaints about the writer. But yeah I've still seen those comments, I'm just sort of commenting on how the complaints have shifted to include people who should be happy about the change but still aren't, not just people who irrationally lash out at it for whatever reasons they…

Man, I saw this news and excitedly hit the internet ready to entertain myself at people complaining that they replaced Tony Stark with a black teenage girl, and instead I was disappointed because all I saw were people complaining about the fact that it's written by a white guy.

I mean, nobody is disputing that. I'm just trying to explain why Jason isn't a bad character.

"Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders' views are totally opposite?"
"Right."
"What about Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump's views?"
"Okay."
"Okay what?…Are they totally opposite?"
::Idiot makes painful grimace::
"Hellllllllllll Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh…"

Couldn't agree more with this. Just because certain people grew up and now view themselves as "above" the things they liked when they were younger doesn't mean that applies to everyone else. At 25, I still listen to blink's entire catalogue and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

Damn, what have I been doing wrong for eleven years, then?

Hey, that's fine too. It's ok to dislike a villain or want them to fail. What isn't ok is to have a boring villain. For as bewilderingly dumb as Jason is, he's a well-constructed character with clear motivations and a backstory that informs his thinking. I think the show deserves more credit than it gets for this.

Yeah, he'll definitely wind up sacrificing himself in some way to save the town. With the requisite last words being something to the effect of "Theresa, I love you" or whatever.

Is it that the show wants us to root for him or is it that the show just doesn't want a boring, mustache-twirling, pure evil villain? I don't think we're supposed to root for him, but we aren't supposed to think he's a flat character with no motivation beyond "being the bad guy." I actually think, considering his…

Make that 8.

"It’s pure assholery masquerading as hipper-than-thou elitism…"

Well, you can cook bacon on the barrel…after you shoot it, of course.
