I think seeing your own death will change you.

He was still a bitter asshole in the first Thor movie though. And he mellowed a little in Thor 2 (especially after Frigga died) but he was still a selfish trickster and willing to banish Odin off to an old folks home on earth and pretend to be Odin on the throne. In Ragnarok he tried to double-cross Thor as they were…

I’ve really really liked Loki, for all the fun TVA multiversal weirdness and everything, and I liked how the last few episodes worked out...

I find it weird that as they’re talking about where people want to be, it never seems to cross Loki’s mind to want to be anywhere other than earth, or the earth-centric TVA. The review noted that the TVA is made up of earth-folks, but didn’t point out that Loki never even seems to consider that he’s an…

Really?

I probably need to give it another shot. I thought it was hillarious when it came out, watched it like 3 times in the theater, and more on VHS. Then a few years later as a young married adult I tried to watch it with my wife and didn’t finish it. I felt compelled to apologize to her for ever liking it.

Thank you for validating my feelings on this. I only ever saw it once, in the theater (so 32 years ago), when I was a young teenager. I’ve never heard this movie mentioned by anyone else, EVER. I sometimes wonder if I imagined the whole thing, like a fever dream. I occasionally think about it and wonder if there’s…

I used to work for a company that made luxury home automation systems. It was cool, but very very expensive. Our products were not something a homeowner would ever install or configure themselves — we weren’t using Zigbee or Z-Wave (although we did have at least one employee who would go to conferences or meetings for…

I hate that things like Apple Music features are even an OS-level update. I spent a lot of years in the Android world, where even a lot of what you’d assume was legit system level stuff could be updated via Google Play Services even on very old versions of the OS, and all the Google apps could installed and updated…

I thought the same thing, plus Batman Begins, Thor, Breath of the Wild, Avatar, John Carter, Prisoner of Azkaban. But mostly Star Wars.

It’s never a bad day to roast a tip-yip.

As far as Taika goes, I feel like it’s a little harsh to say it’s “unfortunate” he’d be coming back. I feel like he got so much positive feedback for Ragnarok that he went totally out of control on L&T, and likely he’d dial it back an appropriate amount were he to return for the 5th.

I’m still kinda pissed about Willow. I mean, it wasn’t an amazing show, but it was interesting, and funny in what felt like a self-aware kind of way, and I liked it way more than Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, and almost all of the MCU series from the past couple of years (Moon Knight excepted).

I feel like the balance was off for L&T because Taika got so much love for Ragnarok, in particular for making it funny and fun, and it went to his head so he decided to go balls to the wall with that, and be absolutely crazy, like he thought that whatever he did could never be too wild... But it was just too much.

If you have the “Chromecast with Google TV” (the one that has a remote and you can download apps to it) then you can download the AppleTV+ app on it.

He was also great in Under the Banner of Heaven. I haven’t watched Black Mirror or really anything else he’s in so I can’t speak to that, but he definitely seems to be great at playing insufferable assholes that think they deserve more than they’re entitled to more than they have. Out of the shows I’ve seen him in,…

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE

She also didn’t look like her 90's self in the Wimpy Kid movie she did (#notmyrodrick), she looked like a regular, middle-aged mom. Which I think is actually great, even if the movie sucked.

Nothing to really add to the discussion about how many chocolate chips to use (although any way to sneak more in sounds good to me, and I’m going to try this mini chips suggestion), but after years of trying everyone’s ultra special grandma’s centuries old secret best recipe ever, the one that really worked for me was…

I keep seeing criticism of things that the critic thinks is sloppy, when I’m pretty sure those things are intentional. The thing this show seems to do more than anything else is subvert expectations. There was some of that in the original, partly with the idea of a little person being told he’d be a great sorcerer…
