Kyle Kinane does a whole bit about it. It's makes a certain degree of sense from a functioning alcoholic's perspective.

DC had a version of Thor as well, at least in Sandman. And Ares is also a character in Marvel comics. Basically, if a character comes from mythology, a comic publisher can do their own spin on it and make it a character, but they can't keep rival publishers from doing the exact same thing.

The description of chicken feet in the article ("a slurpable vehicle for chicken skin, fat, tendons, and sauce") made me sick to my stomach. I'm more than willing to admit that they may be delicious, but that doesn't sound like it's for me.

I doubt we'll be flooded with new information.

I tend to agree, though there are other possibilities where time travel could create branching alternate realities without affecting the main timeline. And all that means is that there are some happy, relived versions of ourselves in an adjacent, but inaccessible, timeline.

I'll have to consider it on a case-by-case basis.

"Nigel took the soft, sweaty member into his mouth as the smooth saxophone of Kenny G washed over the darkened, intimate room. 'This might as well happen,' he thought as he felt a deep stirring on the back of his tongue.

I would have thought that was abundantly obvious at this point.

Nah. Scripted network TV is alive and well; it's just surviving in some very weird places. ABC still has some good sitcoms and The Good Place is the best network show I've seen in years.

I agree that 80s movies were, in general, full of unpleasant stereotypes, especially Asian stereotypes (Eastern in the case of Gremlins, Southern in the case of Temple of Doom, etc.).

It's right there, in a first person POV shot that is literally in the beginning of the movie.

I would be a little disappointed if she weren't.

I would be fine with them recasting a lot of the roles. Stuff happens, we get it. Just tell the story you wanted to tell.

Mulholland Drive wasn't nonsense at all. Once you understand its psychological perspective, it's one of Lynch's most straightforward films.

It's never enough.

It is incredible what the original Twin Peaks series got away with on prime time network TV. Maddie's murder is hard-R, shocking violence that comes out of nowhere. All I can think of is that the censors must have been asleep at the switch.

It was a particularly good question for this interviewee as well.

Good interview. Gaffigan manages to create intelligent humor about mundane family existence, which is so much harder than it looks. And he seems like a pretty genuine guy.

It's almost as though criticism were some kind of subjective practice, and not everyone has to agree about it.

Wow. Somebody didn't like the book.
