At first i thought he was just projecting there, but given how it ended up going, maybe he's actually really perceptive.

I can't believe Tea Leoni is 89!

I never got truly stuck on it, but it's the sort of thing that, even once you know how to do it, is still tedious. It's just a bunch of fucking flipping switches and watching water level animation rather than i dunno, anything about zelda i actually enjoyed.

Clone Scalia is appointed to the supreme court, where he rules against his own status as a US citizen when a democrat waits until the next presidential inauguration to bring a suit challenging his eligibility for the position. The writers of the 14th amendment clearly didn't include cloning in their idea of "birth."

I always lose my punch card after just 3 or 4 Lennons :(

I don't really have any problem with this type of show (I watched this one and thought it was mediocre, couldn't stand "happyish," and almost certainly actually liked a few others). That said, i'm having a lot of trouble connecting Review to them.

It's also a real weird song lyrically that i'm not sure fits its usage that well if you process it as anything but its tone. Which is fine, the feelings the actual music produce are certainly the biggest element, but it's weird trying to reconcile any lyric after the first few lines with the characters and their…

Yeah that thing's a real pile of shit. Don't be fooled by the production value and stars, it perfectly sinks down to the standards of the most amateurish fanfiction sequels to popular work.

Look, it's important to maintain an internally consistent line of play, even if that means doubling down on something stupid that won't help you. At least, that's what the voice in my head keeps telling me.

Aw, Fast Times at least deserves more chances. The others…i doubt you missed anything there.

It kind of stinks how all these deconstructionist anti-rom-coms need to also be conventional rom coms in a lot of ways, either to get made, or to find an audience, or i suspect in some cases, because the true source of their anger isn't so much the shallow artifice of rom coms so much as who it rewards and how they're…

This is something Rocky suffers real badly from as well. It's possible but difficult to attack Rocky for its cliches despite its quality, and then incredibly easy to attack the fuzzy sense of "Rocky movies" you get from having seen the vastly inferior sequels lumped in with it.

I had a pretty similar reaction to that movie itself. It's hard to sell people on the idea that that thing is about how he never had a good sense of her or their relationship at all, because HE doesn't learn that lesson in any way whatsoever, but it was still how i felt watching it.

It seems kind of reasonable that might be able to design an interface that allows a trained dog to maneuver a plane in flight to indicated destinations. Or you could do whatever this is.

It's hard to be certain how it plays when it's surprising, since i knew about it going in, but the twist also didn't particularly resonate with me as one of the better parts of the movie. "Rosebud" is what sets him on his investigation, but said investigation is drastically more thorough than answering the question…

Well, it's almost circular to say that a piece of art widely hailed as amazing is going to have a broad range of people who it speaks to in various ways. That consensus is the result of a big percentage of the people who gave it a chance finding something in it for them, including people who are insanely different…

It would even be nice if he only did a couple of those things, and then wasn't unusually terrible regarding everything else. Like, if he spoke credibly about campaign finance issues and still had the standard bad republican economic and foreign policy positions rather than something as odious as his immigration…

Were people who attacked cops not being punished enough? Ok sorry i can't even pretend that was a genuine question.

It has always struck me as a little weird that state employees are some of the most unionized positions. Unlike almost every other employer, the government is actually automatically beholden to your demands to some degree, and you can actually promote your interests with them even without organizing (although it's…

Is he even making another movie yet? Their main threat aside from that vague, ominous statement above that could mean anything was that they wouldn't provide security for his future films. So we kind of have to just wait and see if they stand by their fit or if they've cooled off once the time comes.
