I always get the movie confused with "Steel Magnolias" — southern women showing their inner strength and all.

Not really. I assume you mean the ones with a Latino background. There's a reason that the forms go "White, non Latino", "Latino", "Black", "Asian", "Other". Because otherwise Latinos would pick, you, know, "White".

"It's correct phonetically!"

film’s 1909 Midwestern setting. Many of the creators who worked on the project—including Walt Disney himself—grew up around that time period, and the film is brimming with nostalgia for a simpler era (which, ironically, is now much the same way we feel about the 1950s).

Actually not true. While you don't see anybody using them, they are there in some maps. In Pokemon X you even find the "Echoed Voice" pokemon next to a toilet in Luminose City.

Some day I should get into GoT (just like I should watch "The Wire"). Meanwhile, Peter Dinklage is just the actor playing the main character in "The Station Agent" to me. Probably he doesn't make art movies any more.

Actually I hated her appearance in JW even more than in Tomorrowland. Not because I don't like Judy (she's awesome), but I thought the scene where she says goodbye to her kids in the airport was going to *lead* somewhere. Like she finds out the kids are in danger and parachutes onto the island to save them or

Yeah, but it was implied that the lead singer had genuine feelings for her (even though he was "breaking her heart" by sleeping with other groupies) so it wasn't quite as callous as the real groupie situation where the only thing the singer would have been probably worried about had she died would be the legal

I like the movie, but you are right on the lack of skeezy. I remember a review at the time that basically said "I was there in the rock scene in the 1970s and Kate Hudson's character wouldn't have *survived*. They treated groupies like shit back then."

Yeah. The early Mac and Windows interfaces were entirely flat, and then (probably influenced by Jobs' NeXT) in the late 1980s and into the 1990s, "3D" buttons and skeuomorphic elements became all the rage. Now we're back to flat UIs. It's not progress, just fashion, like how ties and lapels alternate between thin and

Of course not. She's Mad Men's Allison Brie.

Batman. He's a DC property. Iron Man, Captain America, and um. naked woman without a head (she's obscure, sure, but so were the Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man before their movies) are Marvel properties.

Yeah, but did your high school put on a production of 2001 or Rosemary's Baby? It's one of those musicals like "The Music Man" and "Oklahoma!" that seem to have an infinite life in the HS drama scene.

The Venture Bros Reed Richards analog (voiced by Stephen Colbert!) plays this part up and has the Susan Storm analog finally leave him.

Nectar. They don't live long in their adult phase (a week or so) and basically just need energy for flying. Females need blood to get the protein they need for their eggs.

Outside Salinger’s bike shop, a mosquito sits with presumably his girlfriend while she reads a book, only the mosquito is drinking the girl’s blood while she happily watches.

Cf. the Rick and Morty episode "Raising Gazorpazorp".

But isn't the main reason why it is icky in the real world the fact that animals can't give consent? In the Bojack universe it really wouldn't be any different than couples from different ethnic backgrounds.

If anything, the series should have been about the 1970s when personal computers were invented. That's when the real revolution happened.

Slavery kind of explains the last names of African-Americans, at least. Any European last name is totally normal because of it. Not sure I've met a Black Nordstrom, but I have a Jensen.
