Didn't care for the pilot at all. PKD's book has, among other things, a smart, nuanced take on how a Japanese occupation would affect Americans and the Japanese themselves that's miles ahead of most of the dopey alt-history books that have been collecting on the bookstore shelves for awhile now.
The pilot is more in

Drug War is a very cold and tense procedural - a police thriller in the general vein of the first Infernal Affairs film - and very good at being a procedural and towards the end there's a hellacious shootout that blows the roof of the dump.

See my idea for a more "adult" Muppets would involve, among other projects, making John Wick 2 a Muppet movie.
:Kermit pivots and riddles a vaguely villainous looking Muppet with a four-round burst that tears through him, the bullets exiting out his back with puffs of felt and stuffing, is grabbed from behind by a

To be followed by another short entitled "Anime Was A Mistake: It's Nothing But Trash"

It wasn't very compelling, you might as well be reading a second-grader's book report, "And then this happened and then this happened and then this happened" only it's mixed up with "Ha ha, remember Ghostbusters? Ha ha, remember videogames?"

The book didn't make much sense - the government's reaction and clampdown after the terrorist attack is either ridiculously heavyhanded or ridiculously light as it needs to be, whichever is more convenient to the plot for Mr. Smarter Than the Normalz hacker protagonist and his coterie of "HANDS OFF MY X-BOX MR. NSA"

Though of course certain popculture websites with names similar to the "AC DUB" or "AG Glub" will have writers who, whenever the Dredd film gets mentioned in a news item, be unable to restrain themselves from weakly snarking about how the movie is about like, a guy who kills people and so, it's you know, bad and

Speaking of practical effecs, that dismal "The Thing" prequel/remake/whatever originally the studio was going to feature practical effects for the mutations. And they were pretty far into the process of making them: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
when these were shelved, who knows why, in favor of mid-2000s Xbox game

Next season, they bring in The Barefoot Executive.

I knew some people back in the day who loved those shows, and even more so now. Not too long ago I got into an argument with a friend who loves those corny 90s sitcoms unironically and she accused me of being unable to find the humor in the antics of a character like a Steve Urkel because I apparently only enjoy

I read those Batman prose anthologies edited by Martin Greenberg. The Joker story anthology also had an F. Paul Wilson tale about a newly arrived doctor at Arkham being put in charge of trying to diagnose The Joker, and a Joe R. Lansdale story "Belly Laugh or the Joker's Trick or Treat" told in the form of Batman's

As Master Yoda used to tell Luke, "Eating already from the trash can all the time I am; ideology is name of trash can, it is."

You'd have to work hard to come up with a less compelling concept or castthan this Ghostbusters reboot. I mean, I'm sure it could be done but this is what has been assembled, here.
Still, it will probably be not good, but not as bad as the Ghostbusters III Ackroyd kept trying (and failing) to get off the ground

The thing about Jared as Subway pitchman is that even after he lost weight he still looked unhealthy and flabby—his face looks like it's made out of bread dough. He's never looked particularly fit despite supposedly having a normal BMI.

I came across something posted to Imgur, a whiny rant about FREE JARED, it and the comments amounted to a group of nerds insisting that Jared Did Nothing Wrong and perhaps more importantly, people are way too judgemental about child porn.

Greg Proops did a bit on the short album "Proops Digs In" on the whole Ed Hardy aesthetic, noting among other things that Ed Hardy t-shirts had replaced tuxedo t-shirts as the uniform of the irredeemable douchebag and that the style could be boiled down to "here's a poorly drawn skull and here's a rose and here's some

He described his new album as a “musical journey that takes in reggae, rock, country, the blues, and dark notes from songs in long forgotten languages that were never sung by men, and summon forth energies from things that lurk in the darkest, most distant forests of cosmic night that empower this otherwise feeble

how did this one parody of Fireflies I heard about it, oh yes:
