Every time I try to defend Man of Steel I realize that I really just like the way Snyder directed it. It's great to look at. But the dialogue is pretty inconsequential and/or bad.

Snyder's Watchmen is pretty fantastic. I avoided for YEARS because I just assumed it would be horseshit, but I gotta say, I was damn impressed. It's not perfect, but I would defy anyone to do a better job. I think there's only so much you can do with a Watchmen movie, considering the original book is so dependent on…

Fucknugget. That seems fair.
Look, a lot of people don't like those movies, that's fine. I'm just saying: those are technically well crafted movies. They look great, they're well-paced, the actors give dedicated performances, they make some sort of sense. Now, if you think they're cynical, studio-assembled BS full of…

I mean the guys in the band, yes.

That movie is fine. It's a well-crafted blockbuster that couldn't live up to the hype of the first movie, which was only as successful as it was because nobody expected it to be any good. There's absolutely nothing to apologize for. But these days, anything that's mildly disappointing is THE WORST SHIT EVERRRRRR

Jesus Christ. Jurassic World and Star Trek Into Darkness? I'm sick of this trend of "mildly disappointing blockbusters that were never going to live up to the hype of the masses, and most trendy/hipstery people sort of hated the movie before seeing it anyway" movies being labeled as the worst movies of ALL TIME.

I thought Captain America: The First Avenger felt like more of a Superman movie than Man of Steel did. (Disclaimer: I like MoS)

Hey now. I was in no way looking forward to Ant Man, but that ended up being a fun-ass movie. And because it had Evangeline Lilly in it, it was also a fun ass-movie.

I refuse to believe this perfectly reasonable explanation.

I can't explain my thing with Modest Mouse. They're a very good band, and I like all their albums, and they've written some of my favorite songs, but I hate *those guys* in the band, you know? And everything I've heard from their new record sounds pretty meh.

I also forgot that *that* album existed.

But their lyrics are so deep! Like, they're super cool lyrics because the dude says shit and other good swears, but also? They don't believe in God and even call him an asshole in a song about a writer!

Finally, the album that nobody bought or knew about will once again be made available for us to continue to not remember.

Maybe they'll go to SNL and teach them how to write sketch comedy? Seriously, I can't think of a sketch comedy in the past decade that has had as consistently great sketch writing as this show (The Birthday Boys is a close second). These guys actually know how to find the game of a scene and build upon it. Their…

It's funny because they're friends, which reminds me that I have friends too and having friends is good and fun.

Kendrick fucking killllllllllled it on Colbert.
That medley was too good. I got no bones to pick.

The position of the girl's head in that second cover makes no earthly sense. It's giving me art-nausea.

A little off topic, but this always bothers me: Why does nobody talk about the fact that Mario PUNCHES YOSHI'S HEAD to make his tongue pop out in Super Mario World? Seriously, watch closely. It's weird.
Yet somehow? Still cute and charming. That's how great Miyamoto is.

Our tastes are the same! My favorite 2D Mario is World, and my favorite 3D one is Sunshine.
