So I guess that first Haim song is going to be the next massive, inescapable hit that drives me fucking crazy, huh? It's basically a weaponized earworm that consists of one goddamn line repeated over and over. Ugh.

Steve Moore is Alan Moore with a fake beard over his real beard.

The angel thing felt like they left a lot of good jokes on the table. It was pretty clever but they introduced it and then never commented on it or took it any further than any of the other animals.

The whole "Come see Prometheus to find out if its an Alien movie or not" marketing strategy was really dumb and practically baiting the audience for disappointment. I watched it again a few days ago and it's a not bad run-through of the Alien formula, only with different monsters. If they had just been upfront that

Quick reminder everybody, you just go to the triangle at the top right of the comment click "flag as inappropriate" and then for good measure click "block user". ::the more you know rainbow::

The good republican narrative blew up when so many of them cast votes for Trump even though they knew he was an awful person who would be a terrible president. I can give more of a pass to the true believers/dum-dums who fell for the charlatan act than I can the people who knew better, but cynically voted for him just

This weekend I saw a grand opening sale for a tar and feather emporium that just opened up in the strip mall next to the Sports Cuts.

OK, that was a million times funnier than the sketch. Weird choice to parody something that old and obscure and already absurd. Seems pointless, like doing a sketch to parody the Room.

"If you can't find fault with policy"

I refuse to be shamed out of my cargo shorts by a dipshit wearing tight capri pants.

I distinctly remember after Obama's first inauguration checking my email that had been stuffed with pleas for money and action during the campaign and… nothing. Tons of people were stoked to hit the streets, volunteer, be mobilized or whatever and all that energy was squandered. As shitty as it is, this last election

On Twitter it took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize that him live-tweeting professional golf wasn't him doing a bit, but that he was totally sincerely live-tweeting professional golf.

Maybe we've got a Family Circus situation going on here and Trump has an invisible friend named Nobody who knows how complicated health care is, has more respect for women and is less racist than Trump. He's been telling us all along!

Their Jeff Sessions is also oddly toothless and way off the mark. There's plenty of angles to take on him, but they stopped at "from Alabama" and made him a wide-eyed hayseed which not only totally incorrect for Sessions, but plays into the whole "big city liberal disdain for flyover country" narrative that (quite

I'm in a weird place now where I'm not sure if it's just me getting old or if Millennials really do as a generation just have the shittiest taste in music.

If you stick around long enough it becomes classic. Or a joke that hardly anybody gets. Like a username referring to a not-particularly-well-known SCTV sketch.

Foreign Language nomination is not gonna happen - South Korea's already submitted a different movie. Apparently, the government blacklisted Chan-wook for speaking out against their handling of the ferry accident from a few years ago.

Ha. If I had to choose, 90% of the time I would name Park Chan-Wook as my favorite current director, but I've also had an unwatched copy of I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK just sitting there taunting me, for now what, nearly 10 years? 10 years in which I have probably rewatched each of his other movies at least once.

Ghostwatch is pretty cool, but out of its original context it really doesn't live up to it's reputation as being terrifying to the point of trauma. I can see how it shocked unsuspecting people since it was originally presented as a typical BBC special, with actual trusted tv hosts, never really making any overt winks

I'm finally about to finish The Name of the Wind which I like okay, but I don't think I've read a book that's so long with so little happening. I don't really read fantasy very often, so maybe a lack of succinctness is just a trope of the genre. It's also got a little more Mary Sue-ing than I tend to care for in a
