That’s ... odd. A middling horror sequel needs all the attention it can get, your questions were reasonable ones, and Mad Men had/has a much bigger audience than the Strangers does. This seems like it would be good for the movie to have people reading what Hendricks has to say about #MeToo as possible.

I’m thinking…

Yeah, I suspect we haven’t heard the end of the LA Weekly debacle.

Your post makes it sound like only Gothamist is coming back. LAist is back as well. In a bleak local media year in SoCal, LAist coming back is a bright spot.

(Even if everyone they employed is rehired, though, that’s still a drop in the bucket to the number of folks laid off by the Southern California News Group —…

Gaiman has always said that people make the mistake of thinking he wrote the serious bits. Working with Pratchett was likely a (relatively) early chance for Pratchett to subvert expectations in what he’d write.

Yeah, that’s what made me give up on the comics. I get that comics have an unlimited budget, but stay true to what the themes, etc., of the show.

None of what I said should be construed as a rousing defense of Cloverfield Paradox, which was a hot mess. ;)

That anyone thought it was necessary to explain the first to Cloverfield movies at all is my issue.

Biathlon is completely badass.

Other sports, like baseball, are split into two different activities, but only in biathlon are the two diametrically opposed. The harder you ski — and cross-country is exhausting — the harder it is to shoot accurately. And you have a limited supply of bullets, so if you miss more than a…

I love the Cloverfield movies and this was deeply mediocre and performed the completely pointless task of explaining how they all fit together. That said, my wife and I still watched the whole thing and enjoyed it, even as I mentally noted problem after problem (the centrifugal force “artificial gravity” wouldn’t work…

I’d say about 4'10".

I would say it’s because Americans have developed good taste and judgement in the past few years — I mean, you can get better Mexican food even in Minnesota — but all the evidences suggests _that’s_ not true.

Neil Gaiman is not your bitch.

The show’s ultimate arc is going to be sending them to the actual Good Place and possibly beyond it (any afterlife that sends more than 99 percent of souls to the Bad Place isn’t going to have a Good Place we would recognize as Heaven).

So next season, they’re in the Good Place, or some place adjacent to it and…

Nope, sorry. I know too many people who’ve suffered traumatic abuse and worse. They all have to make a choice after that, and most of them choose to be better people than the ones who victimized them.

Since the Tonight Show, I think, used to regularly do it with video clips of news anchors, I think there must be some software that can search through transcripts and instantly find the related clip in a video archive.

Gotham as a Detroit analogue is a lot more interesting than it being yet another comic book version of New York City. I like.

In the first episode, he made fun of the only person who’d been decent to him in New York, to his face. (The homeless guy in the park who was bonding with him.) That’s not a matter of not knowing how Western civilization works (which, given that he was raised in the West as a child, he does know), that’s him being a…

Who hurt you?

Which of these synch with iOS devices? I’d love to use a better client than iTunes, but I still need to manage what gets synched to my devices.
