This is great news. I now have a new exhibit for my Museum Of Kids Who Were Constantly Told They Were Very Clever And Funny Throughout Their Childhoods

I'm enjoying the show, and tonight's episode was pleasingly bonkers, but I think I might be done with it? For reasons that aren't really the show's fault:

-Hot take thesis, free of charge: RIVERDALE HAS AN ARCHIE PROBLEM (brb, calling Buzzfeed)

Spin!?

[defeated sigh] "Can we please talk about LOGAN now?"

It's the only aggravating—as opposed to intriguing—ambiguity on the show, but there's a way it makes sense. Shout-out to SilentSpy for explaining it in last week's comments.

-I have to say this: all the other visuals on the show are phenomenal, but geez louise the man with the yellow eyes looks crummy, like something from a direct-to-DVD horror film from a decade ago.

Ha, yes. When I made this account years ago I named it after a joke in this classic Onion article, and then figured there was no better image for "professor" + "boredom" than a character in a Holmes-themed holodeck episode.

Interviewer: Would you do another Matrix movie?
Reeves: Uh…sure? I guess?
Internet pop culture news sites: BREAKING: Keanu Reeves Confirms New Matrix Movie

Well, I don't like to brag, but I am a professor…

On-topic: it's easy to be cynical about the Internet, especially lately, but stuff like this is so cool and enheartening. The fact that I can stream Out 1 on freakin' Netflix just continues to blow my mind.

So……what are these "digital back channels frequented by obscure movie enthusiasts"? I would basically do anything to have access to a film version of what.cd

That can't be right…a certain pop culture site recently reported that "The Batman Has Its New Director"! Sure, the article itself didn't remotely confirm that, but why would they choose a headline like that if it wasn't a sure thing!?

Ah, okay…that's an explanation that makes sense. Thank you.

Okay, maybe I'm being dense, but I don't see how Event C and Event D jibe. The crew grab David's body with Syd inside. But then they swap back and Syd's body is now in the car. Because otherwise, how would Syd be with them later?

I thought I had my head wrapped around the body swap after thinking it over last week, but now I'm confused again:

(The funniest part is that my original comment apparently WAS downvoted a couple times. People take these skits serious, man!)

Traditionally this request is accompanied by smashing a coffee mug on the ground, I believe.

Hmm, the last one was funny because Thor was clueless, but he was still earnest. He could be arrogant, but it felt more like unexamined self-confidence run amuck than actual dickishness.

Another groundbreaking study from the researchers at the No Shit Sherlock Review.
