You had like the only kid in the history of the world who was actually interested in documentaries and now you'll never get her to watch another one.

I came to see the movie for the humans getting intense with each other underground, which seemed especially interesting as a way to go with a sequel to a kaiju movie, but I'm pretty pleased with the ending. I was rather dreading that they'd end it with Michelle exiting the bunker and then an immediate cut to credits…

Oh man, imagine if someone combined them into one thing!

This article says "statue of limitations" twice.

Daily's character in Streets of Fire is fascinating to me because there doesn't seem to be any reason whatsoever for her character to be in the movie. She shows up, she sticks around doing nothing and having no effect on the plot or anyone's character development until she's asked "What are you still doing here?" at…

Can you give an example from a PKD story of a character "mak[ing] arbitrary or incoherent decisions, solely for the purpose of putting them into situations that can propel the narrative where it needs to go"? Dick's characters don't always behave reasonably but that often makes them feel more human to me. I mean, his…

Jason Segel said in an NPR interview that the Jim Henson Studios crew objected to using the word "fart", suggesting "whoopie" instead but he pushed for it because it felt to him like such a Fozzie thing. Does Dan Caffrey's dad have a secret identity?

Mickey Mouse's copyright really is quite likely invalid (Anyone who isn't familiar with the specifics of how this was determined, look it up, it's a fascinating and sad story). It was very satisfying to finally see "Happy Birthday" put in its place but god would Mickey Mouse being established as public domain make my…

I enjoyed watching the episode for the most part but I'm really missing the Moffat who excelled at meticulous plot structure. He did it practically every episode of everything he wrote from Press Gang through Davies-era Doctor Who whether he was writing for a drama or a sitcom. His structure seems to be getting looser…

I haven't seen this since it came out, but wasn't there that whole thing about how death in the fantasy world meant death in the real world? So I mean, those fantasy creatures who got killed were actually killed? I remember it being weird to me that Bender outright ordered one (or more? I don't remember) of the little…

I read sooo much Crichton in elementary school. I wanted to read Jurassic Park because I loved the movies and dinosaurs in general. My mom thought the baby-eating stuff in Jurassic Park might upset me as a second grader so I started with The Lost World. Then I read as much of his stuff as I could through Next, which…

I really enjoyed this story too but I just gotta respond to this paragraph:

He's got a degree in baloney!

Well I… loved it. I only went because I was invited, wasn't expecting much, thought "This is OK" at first, which gradually changed to "I actually like this" and then to "I love this."

This episode was almost too far up my alley. The banal portrayal of the lives of celestial beings, like no matter how high or low you are on the existential ladder life is more or less the same; the originality of the specifics of how the Owl's job works, and the way we just get glimpses into it with no exposition and…

Now's a better time though because Creator is on Netflix and can be watched however one wants.

I watched Electric Dreams for the first time last year after importing the UK DVD. (My discovery of it actually has nothing to do with Her; it was a complete coincidence.)

And Perfect Hair Forever predates all of them with Uncle Grandfather.

I don't know about SoundOfRainOnTheRoof but when I complain about selfies I'm 100% serious.

This episode had another likely Evangelion reference, with the pod filling up with breathable fluid and Steven reacting similarly to Shinji the first time he got into Eva Unit 01 and breathed in LCL. There's a lot of focus in this episode on Steven being his own mother and in Evangelion the pilots… Well to be as…
