I think they’re referring to this piece right here: https://io9.gizmodo.com/im-already-sick-of-this-1832783715

Stewart Copeland’s side project Klark Kent had an oddly cheery end credits song for Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. I’ve got money Stranger Things will use it eventually

Fun to witness the manufacture of preemptive outrage in real time.

So was his mother African American? I doubt the current royal Wakandan bloodline contains victims of slavery; especially if it’s in Western Africa thousands of miles from the Eastern coast

That may have been the inspiration (just as the spice was inspired by oil) but they descended from “Zensunni Wanderers”, a new sect of Islam with some Buddhist ideas tossed in.  They were variously massacred or run off from planet to planet until they found Dune, which no one cared about much until the spice was…

Love Devo, and the scores from those films are amazing, but everything after Rushmore from Anderson seemed like “Rushmore-but”: Rushmore-but-underwater, Rushmore-but-on a train, Rushmore-but-in a hotel. He’s like the Dave Mathews of film

Man always gets little rush out of telling people John Lennon beat his wife

The cover was definitively on the nose for sure, but I got a kick out of it. Odd that this article rants about misdirected adolescent angst by bemoaning the fact that something is popular that the author doesn’t like. Sounds awfully... adolescent. It’s either unintentional irony or a brilliant meta-statement

How about a little love for TROMA? My wife got me this for our anniversary, signed by Kaufman and Hertz

Was going to post this myself if I didn’t find it here. Indeed.

Well, if we’re to believe the little hints, there’s a big twist to this that will change the canon. I forget where I read that, might have been a tweet from Hidalgo

Perhaps a bit of Ironic Process Theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironic_process_theory

There’s a paradox, though: If you try to make it appealing and accessible to everyone, you make it appealing and accessible to no one. I agree that specialty shops of any kind can be off-putting to the novice but navigating and penetrating that layer is a part of the culture

You just described “confirmation bias”.

Aye, bless the maker and his water

Wonderful! I went with this meme...

There’s a motivated forgetting about what progress has been made. Last year, ST:D was given the distinction for having the first black lead in a Star Trek series. Elsewhere, student activists have been taking credit for marriage equality in the U.S., when they are the beneficiaries of almost a half century of work by…

I agree somewhat, but that’s the kind of depth you get with a novel or long comic series that you don’t necessarily get with an adventure film.

Whitewashing! (is that what we’re supposed to be mad at here?) /s

I have called ahead about whether a game/channel would be available, but only because I didn’t have television at my home at the time and going to a local sports bar was (gasp) a fun way to catch the game in a setting where others might also be enjoying it. Also, I’d rather do that than walk all the way there for no…
