That's a nice thought, but everyone needs role models and positive examples they can relate to. I think it's very reasonable for women, minorities, etc. etc. to see positive representations of themselves and their identities in the media. There has been a lot of fighting for this lately, and I support it. I really…

It looks like the boxers were, too.

My favorite line reading came early on. Steven asks Peridot "Are you gonna be ok?" to which she replies, sounding absolutely demented/delighted, "No!"

That was my first thought, but the character holding it was talking about how they couldn't be together because the other one was on the "yellow team," so I thought maybe that was the flag for the green team.

Nailed it!

A possibility for what that crystal is for: communication. If Peridot can flag a ride, then she can betray the gems without committing suicide.

For me it was Fighting that sold me on Chatum Tanning (I always call him that by accident, probably because none of those words are actual names). See it if you haven't; it's a fun underground boxing movie that lotsa people missed.

I'm not sure if they mention this in the article, but I think one reason for Avatar's lack of staying power is that so much of what made it special was the use of 3D. Since we didn't all go out to get 3D TVs because we aren't all morons, Avatar's life on home video was bound to be limited. Ironically, any movie that…

I feel like this is something Ben Carson could have posted shortly after waking up. Especially the edit.

I won't pick on the grade, but I am surprised, given the very positive tone of the review, to see this given a "B." That sounded like a B+/A-, which is pretty much how I felt about it. I'm just really enjoying this series. The chemistry of the three leads is totally delightful, and the plot and mythology are nice…

Do they need to be compared? I think that implies that we have to pick one - racism or excessive self-righteousness. There may be SOME trade-off, but I'd like to minimize them both. Racism is obviously far worse, but the stridency of anti-racists can be self-defeating at times. Sometimes these two goals are in…

I too have a dysfunctional friend in gamergate. We were buddies in college. Now he's a rage-filled guy who is disabled by Crohn's disease. It's actually quite sad. He insists that it's about ethics in game journalism.

This, and Ash vs. Evil Dead, are probably the most interesting and exciting "reboots" of all time. I called them reboots, but they are actually unexpected continuations.

I think they just accidentally interviewed a guy named "Mike."

I knew a guy whose parents were both doctors, and insisted on being addressed as "doctor"…even by their own children. I never actually met them, but I can only assume that they are the world's most insufferable assholes.

You mention how Steven has "half of Beach City wrapped around his little finger"…I have a theory about future plot developments. What I think will make Steven uniquely important are two things: his ability to earn people's trust and affection, and his ability to fuse with humans. Humans may not be very powerful…

Unlikely.

Yeah, holy crap I guess he's back from the Dissolve, which recently lived up to its name (sorry).
