I wonder if Ted Cruz is up here today celebrating Canada Day with us.

Post-modern ironic comics are my favorite, right next to slow-burn acoustic covers of high energy pop and metal songs.

I haven't read comics in years and that first picture is just ridiculous. Do women in comics have no body type variation? They all look approximately the same height, same waist circumference, and have giant tits. This just seems supremely lazy.

So you're all just gonna sit there and act like Dawes didn't BLOW THEIR MINDS!!!!!

The AVClub has picked up a lot of readership in the last few years and the things they post really reflects that. It's all clickbait, all the time. I'm sure in five years it will be exclusively targeted at the 18 and under crowd and basically be unreadable. Thank god by that time most of our brains will be uploaded

No one is asked to give it away for free. They can sell it and make money. Your point doesn't stand at all, there is no comparison between not getting paid for a product you expected to be paid for in a circumstance completely beyond your control and having an exclusive photo opportunity to take a product you can

It's not hypocritical at all because the photographer is getting consideration out of the bargain. She uses the photos for free, he gets a product he can sell on the market and, ostensibly, use in his portfolio (I'm using male gender pronouns arbitrarily). The songwriter who is not getting paid a dime because Apple

I see your point, but I still don't think the analogy is equivalent. In this arrangement there is something of value going both ways - the artist gets premium access and permission to create a product of value they can sell for personal gain; Swift gets some free promo shots. While someone as wealthy as her should be

This argument is nonsensical - he's being paid a fee to take pictures she can use for her own purposes in perpetuity. In theory a similar contract could exist in the music industry (there kind of is - we used to call it buying a physical album) but that's not the way it's done.

The teenagers felt like a plot placeholder - something to keep the stakes inflated for Bryce Howard's character. It's a Spielberg film so a necessary evil I suppose.

NEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRD! GET HIM!

That dino gavemeasaurus.

For me Interstellar and the much maligned Prometheus fall into that category as well. I enjoyed the fuck out of those films while I was watching, even though they both have scads of things that made no sense.

I was pretty amused by how they showed a world in which dinosaurs were just another boring attraction in an insufferably crowded amusement park. The dino petting zoo and the older brother's dismissive reaction to it was a perfect example and a nice touch. It was a nuance in the writing I didn't expect - I'm not saying

I don't think it's any worse than the first one.

When I saw Chris Pratt riding a motorcycle with a pack of raptors in the trailer I had no expectations that this would be anything other than an absolute piece of garbage. And when that scene arrived in the movie it…it made sense. I could understand why Chris Pratt was in a raptor motorcycle party. I still don't quite

I'm still enjoying Pratt since he's in enjoyable movies and hasn't oversaturated the studio action films yet so I'd hate to see him in this - I think it would expedite the shark jump.

Isn't there a Batman story where he's basically Keaton's age and retired and has to come out of retirement or some such thing? Keep it away from Burton and that could be interesting.

I can name two - Sinclair because she's in that Coke commercial they air every three seconds, and Foligno (it's probably wrong that I only remember Foligno because I noticed how pretty she is when she was subbed in. High energy player too).

Not Necessarily a Great Job, Internet
