**runs in excitedly** I have facts to share!

The cow you sleep with is trained in martial arts? Unexpected.

And for those ladies who can walk with a switch and talk with street slang, LL loves when a woman ain't afraid to do her thang.

Such amazing phrasing - "To believe that such talk really ever came out of people's mouths would be to believe that there was a time when time was of no value to a person who thought he had something to say; when it was the custom to spread a two-minute remark out to ten; when a man's mouth was a rolling-mill, and…

He has a knack for describing big supernatural battles in a way that not only do you understand what is happening but also so if feels like the magic/superpowers are limited in such a way that the action has weight and the characters are in peril. It's like the opposite of an action scene in a Transformers movie, in…

The Portals were written by people who understand that a good video game will tell you the story through the gameplay, not by treating the player as a spectator. It's an entirely different mindset. And part of that mindset is that the game itself has to be playable. *AHEM! - glances sideways at Unity*

Be4 This One Will: The Prequel

I didn't even recognize her, but just the thumbnail on the front page was astonishing.

I'm sad that they didn't keep building the backstory of the Shy Fellas. On one level, having the camera focus on a curtain while Ferguson and the voice of Jeff pretend that there's an actual house band that is ostensibly hiding behind it is an insane premise for a recurring bit, but I was really pulling for Alfredo…

One of the most damning, scathing, brutal things I've ever seen done in a review is when the RLM asks people to describe the characters in the originals and prequels without using physical characteristics or their role in the movies. Excited, laughing descriptions of Han Solo's rogue-ishness and C-3PO's prissiness,…

I'd never even heard of the Pixies until 1992 or so, when a girl in my high school gave me a mixtape filled with their albums, which I thought was odd. Much much later, it dawned on me that (1) said girl had had a crush on me and (2) she was probably the coolest girl in school. Really missed the boat on that one.

Maybe we'll finally get something that does justice to the subject. Nina Simone is my answer to "who is your favorite musician/singer/music act of all time?" So much talent and technique and sensuality and personality and political awareness!

I was shocked that the marketing department let the first image of the new Star Wars movie be the face of John Boyega. Relatively few people will recognize him from Attack the Block, so he'll be Generic Black Man to the audience. I'm impressed they were willing to do it, and kinda embarrassed that I'm impressed.

Terry Gross has the sexiest damn voice. The things I would do to Terry Gross's voice. Yeah, you know what I mean!

I could spend all day trying to figure out what exact number would be described as "like a little bit more than less than half of a decade."

If by "light" you mean "Hawking radiation".

Hells yeah. There was nothing "cinematic" about that fight; just fists and knees traveling the most direct route to do maximum damage. The miracle is that such a brutal fight scene fits in such a fun romp of a movie.
