And there's also a difference between ambiguity in the characters' motives, emotions, and grey area moral questions vs. ambiguity in the sense of "wtf just happened?"

Want to send this movie back in time to my 16-year-old Buffy-watching self.

It looks beautifully drawn. A nice change to the default superhero art style, which I couldn't be more bored by.

I've only ever made it 20 minutes into the movie Dune: the first 19 minutes are complete exposition…narrated over crappy *still-frame drawings* of planets and stuff. Then finally in minute 20 it starts, there's an alien in a jar, and then I fall asleep.

Hasn't stopped Arnie from playing the same non-aging robot across 30 years.

I like the idea of having Barney repeatedly go on and off the wagon…it's just like real life.

That "No Funeral" sign makes me laugh every time I see it. Also, it's so absurd that he'd tape it to his back. Gotta be the darkest scene the Simpsons has ever done that was actually played for laughs and not emotion.

Noticed that too. Finn used to come up to PB's stomach. Now they're almost the same height.

I did speed runs on Super Mario 2, Super Mario World, and Mega Man X before I even knew that speed runs were a "thing." But I never did research on finding the fastest method or tried to exploit bugs - I just picked the shortest obvious path and tried to beat my own personal best. I think after I saw true expert

The original Deus Ex isn't normally considered a puzzle game, but it kind of acts like one. I thought it was great how there were usually 5+ ways to get to any objective: Brute firepower, silent assassinating, computer hacking, lockpicking, sneaking around cameras, climbing through air vents. And even those methods

I think Cosby is guilty. But if I was a person that felt I was falsely accused, a sarcastic dismissal of what I felt were ludicrous claims would be appropriate commentary. It's like saying "I'm not even going to dignify that with a serious response." Note that I do believe he's guilty, but I'm not going to be

You misunderstood. I didn't mean that every song sounded like this. I meant that I don't like all the ones that sound like this.

I hate this song and every song from that era that sounds like this song.

I like the raw, unproduced, garage punk sound of that first album. It fit well with the anger of Grohl's lyrics and voice on those songs.

I always thought it was weird, when over the past 10 years, people joked about how NBC was in the toilet, when NBC had basically the only network TV shows I watched ever, at all. Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Community. No other air network had a sitcom I'd even consider watching. But I guess even that's over now.

Andy Samberg's line reading of "Oh Carl" is just like how he talked about a "Carl" in this old Lonely Island video: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

"This is 40"?

This is one of those movies that sucks me in whenever I happen to flip to it.

To me, those are both just New York, renamed.

Well to be fair, it was a big year culturally. Woodstock, moon landing, Vietnam, etc.
