This shit is why I almost never talk about being vegan. Doing so means being either subject to all the standard mockery... or getting slammed for not being ideologically pure enough in one regard or another. Or getting hit from both sides at once. It’s not remotely worth it. So I spend most of my life just keeping my…

Aaron McGruder and company were the first ones on board the Oprah 2020 train with the “Return of the King” episode of The Boondocks twelve years ago.

Hasn’t she always called them by their names?

The Expanded Universe, for all its issues, had one thing that the current films don’t. Luke, Leia, and Han did suffer greatly in those stories, losing a big chunk of their family and many of their friends through years and years of continued conflict. But, generally speaking, they still had each other. They supported…

I’ve since looked up her death in the comics, and I find it slightly more plausible. Ezekiel was alone and (I think) weaponless, and his narration indicates that he believed she intentionally sacrificed herself as a distraction to give him time to escape. Now that’s quite the stretch, but the narration in comic *sort…

I knew she was dead in the comics, but I didn’t know how she’d been killed. I’d assumed it was due to something a little less random and nonsensical than that.

They don’t really understand how tigers work, huh? That was easily one of the least plausible deaths in the history of the show. A bunch of rotting muscle and sinew is going to a tear apart an animal as strong, fast, and agile as a tiger weighing several hundred pounds? It’s goofy enough when these decayed blobs can…

No hyperbole, that was one of the most beautiful endings to a series that I’ve ever seen. It will stick with me for a long time.

“Funny” is an interesting adjective to use for an episode that ends with a terrified child’s lifeblood pouring out of his slashed throat.

Well. Damn. I just spent most of today surrounded by the grief of my loved ones over the funeral of my sisters’ father (and my mother’s ex-husband). Like Katie with Gordon here, my mother found him at his home a few days ago - just as she found my own father several years ago. So those last moments, especially Donna…

Supposedly he wrote that review to amuse his “friend” Guillermo del Toro. I hope he realizes that none of his so-called friends (del Toro, Rodriguez, Tarantino, Jackson, etc.) are ever going to answer him again. He’s done, and if he actually cared about the survival of the site he would have immediately separated…

Everything about that quote is just sheer cruelty. It doesn’t even talk about his behavior or his personality, both of which have always been at least questionable. Maybe if they spent less time gawking and ridiculing his basic existence and more time paying attention to his actual words and deeds, they might have…

Dark Skies was a crappy NBC alien invasion show. Not to be confused with Falling Skies, a much crappier TNT alien invasion show.

Dark Horizons, you mean?

Pretty sure he’s fairly disabled beyond the obesity. I don’t think walking is really a thing he can do, most of the time? I remember reading years ago that his legs got somewhat crushed in an accident, so he’s spent most of his adult life on a wheelchair with stints of physical therapy and such to try to walk…

1. The Royal Tenenbaums

Me too! I might bave been the only person in the theater for Ghost in the Shell, and there was only two other people when I saw mother! this week. Valerian had a bit more of a crowd, but not by that much.

Even though it came out less than two months after 9/11?

I was actually saying that I was confident that there will be no season two of Inhumans. But Cloak & Dagger? That’s entirely possible.

Did Bos intentionally set Cameron up to play to her sympathies and get her to help fix Comet? I couldn’t tell if that was premeditated or entirely organic.
