I mean, a certain amount of anger and disgust at this potentially terrible (personally, I'm keeping my hopes up that it'll be good) is just because it might potentially be just yet another unnecessary, mediocre remake…

Not gonna lie - in the original Spider-Man, when he lands on that flagpole next to the American flag, I always got choked up.

I don't particularly care for the inserted cut-aways to Cloud City/Coruscant/Mos Eisley in the Special Editions (what, are those the only inhabited planets in the galaxy? I doubt the citizens of Tatooine would be affected by or care about the fall of the Empire one way or another), but replacing "Yub-Nub" with the…

The problem is, if we allow the government to hang men like Davis who commit treason for unjust reasons, we risk the government hanging those who commit treason for just reasons (and who are caught or unsuccessful in their revolutions).

Speaking of Buzzy: it's pretty obvious that the guy looks like a human caricature, but I realized that he looks very specifically like a John Kricfalusi caricature: https://www.google.com/sear…

I fucked up on the first Misdirection question, and then I proceeded to fuck up on every single other Misdirection question as well. I knew it wasn't supposed to be the "obvious" answer, but it's like those brain teasers where the name of one color is written in a different color: you know what answer you're supposed…

Interestingly, in "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory," Burton felt that CGI squirrels wouldn't be convincing enough, so he actually trained a bunch of real squirrels to sit on those little stools and crack those nuts.

"Sweeney Todd" was as great as it was almost entirely because of the brilliance of Stephen Sondheim in much the same way that Snyder's "Watchmen" owes the fact that it's a film with some pretty incredibly ideas to Alan Moore having conceived them.

The worst part of the the Alt-Right is ….

In fairness to her, a straightforward reading of the lyrics and tone of the song completely belies this interpretation.

Ron Pearlman has said that the reason he's gotten so many "make-up and latex" roles is because he's good at and willing to put up with sitting in the make-up chair for four hours every morning, which makes him the go-to guy for a lot of those characters (also the voice and physical stature and character).

Not at all relevant to this review, but every time I hear the title "Wayward Pines," I keep visualizing some kind of spinoff of "Gravity Falls."

In the Donald Duck comics (y'know, those ones that are/were so popular in Europe), there's a story where the anthropomorphic ducks encounter, uh, "real" ducks, and a distinction was made between the two. I can't find any of the panels, but it was very odd.

To me, none of the other books in the series even come close to recreating the magic of "The Gunslinger." THAT'S King's magnum opus, as far as I'm concerned.

It's an entire book's worth of The Scourging of the Shire.

I was in Paris when Spain won the World Cup. At every stop, they'd pop into the metro car once the doors opened and treat us all to a nice bit of celebratory vuvuzela honking. They had the them hooked up to airhorns.

All the way to hell.

I disagree, but that's a hell of a neat theory.

My mother's gotten into those Korean dramas, and that parody is hilariously spot-on.

"Every candidate in this election is abysmal."
Did you forget about Bernie?
