She dated Seth MacFarlane.

io9 made a great point about how when they actually had to describe Genisys, they said it was an app that connected your social media accounts to your bank account. 1) That sounds terribly unsafe 2) 13 year old Kyle got Genisys as a birthday gift and was super excited about it. Why the fuck would a 13 year old be…

Casting Beef McLargehuge was the worst decision in the whole movie. The original Kyle Reece looked like a crackhead. That's what made him interesting. He wasn't some muscular action hero cliche, that part was played by Arnold, that was the guy he was fighting AGAINST.

Honestly, she got a little more fit for T2 but I think 90% of aesthetic different between T1 and T2 was that in T2 she had a pony tail.

I imagine it being really anachronistic now. "Quick, connect to AOL so we can upload this floppy disk to the Terminator's hard drive!"

His SECOND run is one my favorite runs of all time. His FIRST run, which this film is a pretty damn close adaptation of, not so much.

I will say this, I didn't realize they were the same guys who did Chuck Testa and all those other weird commercials. I particularly like the one about where Black people and White people buy furniture. That one guy's new hair aside, they seem like decent human beings and I am glad they found success. It's just…

People aren't sure what to say about it because there's really not a lot to say about it. It's…fine? I guess the best thing I can say for it is that the origin story of Wonder Woman isn't quite as overused as the origin story of Batman or Superman. It's still not really that interesting of an origin story though. I…

There was a joke on The Simpsons just this season that I shocked how right-wing it was and no one seemed to notice it. I guess maybe no one was watching. Someone says something about going to the courthouse and Homer responds "We can't today, the judge is becoming a citizen".

On one hand, the comic doesn't explicitly say she was raped. On the other hand, it was written by Alan Moore.

The politics of the original are going to make the sequels very awkward. It came out in 2009, before "privilege checking" and "cultural appropriation" and "problematic" had entered the everyday lexicon. It was mostly non-controversial back then but now it represents a type of liberalism which no longer exists/people…

I could give that same sarcastic response to the fact that a White actress is starring in a film in a 70% White country.

I think mockery of other races is generally frowned upon whoever does it. Only "people with privilege" (White people) get shit for enjoying other cultures earnestly and sincerely.

Isn't the reason people get upset about appropriation supposed to be because of fucked up power dynamics? People get mad about White people with dreadlocks because White people enslaved Black people in the past. No one gets upset about a Black person dressing as an anime character though because there was never any…

Young, college educated White people hate themselves and Lena Dunham is their ultimate avatar.

All their fights seem to be totally contrived and illogical and they get along too well otherwise for me to believe they are the type of characters who would get into those type of fights. It really feels to me like the show was boxed into a corner by naming it Catastrophe. Like they feel like they have to make it a…

PIRA was definitely Marxist early on. Sinn Fein is still Marxist. You can find old accounts of Gerry Adams praising the Viet Cong and the Khmer Rouge. Since the Good Friday Agreement, it's been hard to discern any ideology beyond drug dealing (and I guess Irish nationalism) on the part of the IRA. They never official…

Nowhere near as good as Neil Cicierega's Imagine All Star People: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Very few people involved in The Troubles were religious. I don't mean "They weren't good Christians because they were killing people!" either. I mean, they didn't even really claim to be good Christians. The IRA was a Marxist organization that was downright hostile towards religion and the British government, while…

The Lenin area Soviet Union, while it certainly had a horrible human rights record towards its opponents, was surprisingly modern on the matter of social issues. Homosexuality and abortion were legalized. Women's rights were championed. Then when Stalin came to power he reversed all that. His justification was that…
