Last Man on Earth was a funny, original show, but I think was creatively out of gas.

The thing that bugs me about this is, if you are with other people in a theater, you’ve gotta be mindful that their experience could be different than yours. You mock a movie in a theater that others are (trying) to enjoy, and you are mocking them as well. You are disrespecting their experience.

Someone already mentioned Lego Batman. I feel like Spy with Melissa McCarthy could qualify as a spoof movie and that one was quite funny imo. If nothing else, Jason Statham’s character is 100% spoof.

Speaking of actors, we got our first Cylon in The Expanse, good ol’ Aaron “Number Five” Doral. Still as unimaginative and a bit buffoonish as ever.

That’s how it was for me with Tree of Life... I didn’t 100% get it and yet there are people who love that movie. So for these types of movies I’m like, “It’s not for me” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Leave it to Dre to stirrup controversy.

So Univision is going to force its sites to emphasize video news by the end of June, eh? This site and every other under Univision’s umbrella is fucked, you say? Univision is incompetently run, really? Gosh, never could’ve seen that coming.

I’m sure it will prove entertaining to Farouk. I disagree though, upsetting Oliver was a worse mistake. David’s a weapon for sure that you don’t want pointed at you, but Oliver has a better idea of how to manipulate the Astral plane right now.

This was an excellent read and is a prime example of why I still come to this site. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Sean O’Neal.

Also, an obligatory “Hi, Sam [guitar twang]”

“You know what would make a great movie? One where the hero sits with his friends and they talk about their emotions.”

So....breakfast club?

So I work at an after school program where I tutor kids and help with their homework, and KSP has literally helped me keep up with the guys who have actual physics degrees. I’m actually even *better* at explaining conics and ellipses and harmonic motion than they are. 

“Celestials”

Dan, you need to update this article! Blankenship really took it up to 11 and when he responded to a reporter about his idiotic, racist ad, he actually used the word “negroes.”

I would’ve been 12 when this came out but already I thought Carrey was a bad choice for the Riddler, who (and I was basing a lot of this judgment on B:TAS) was always a bit more intellectual and reserved, he wanted to prove he was smarter than everyone, but wasn’t manic. That was more the Joker’s schtick.
Also, why

As I mentioned in the last gaming thread, I was gifted a copy of Kerbal Space Program last week, so I’ve been going through the training missions of that, and I get the sense that it’s going to be very complex when I move on from stuff like this:

In retrospect it’s so obvious that Schumacher really, really wanted to do a full-on Batman ‘66 riff but was constrained by the established Burton aesthetic. We end up in a weird middle ground where, as Tom points out in the article, everything is dark and gloomy yet still lit in garish neon. The villains are mincing,

No, the star power helped, especially Jim Carrey, who could do no wrong at that point, but the movie didn’t need it. What hooked ticket sales was it was the next Batman movie, and maybe wouldn’t make us as uncomfortable as the more Gothic elements of Batman Returns, which we liked, but only just. Plus the ads showed

I’m ok with this. You can sometimes tell Conan gets a little bored with the really structured interviews and monologues. He’s got a really good production team and writers so hopefully this turns out well. He’s my favorite late night host since Craig Ferguson left.

I thought Kaitlyn Dever was straight-up fantastic on Justified. I thought she pretty much stole the series finale, even though she hardly had any dialogue in it, but the whole sequence where she was kidnapped and Raylan rescued her was great.
