A Quiet Place

Guardians 2 is way better than 1!

The Guardians third act has a bunch of really great beats (dancing, we are groot, Michael Rooker’s arrow thing) that are unfortunately sandwiched between a bunch of interminable fights against faceless grey guys and Lee Pace doing an impression of Christopher Eccleston’s performance in Thor 2.

Because we all just want them to skip this and go directly to making a Maximum Carnage movie

I can’t wait for some dragons to burn down a mcdonalds because it doesn’t have soy sauce mixed with ketchup or whatever in the next season of game of thrones. 

It feels very realistic that after it’s revealed that the president, the entire executive branch of the government, the president’s mistress, etc were all involved in a decades long abuse of power the only guy who suffers any real consequences is some random bureaucrat drawn from deep in the B613 org chart.

There was a scene like 5 episodes ago where he stared at a mask and then dramatically threw it into a fire.

Ahmed and Ward’s Black Bolt run is a masterpiece and I can’t believe I’m saying that about a comic book about Black Bolt.

Not everyone has the unique perspective that allows you to look at any premise and say “sounds good, but what if it was about cops.”

Let Adam Pally and Ben Schwartz host like once a month

Is The Grinder: New Orleans not part of the mcu?

I’m not sure anyone has been more right than Ben in Thursdays episode of Blank Check:

David: I think by biggest bounce you mean movie you took the absolute least pleasure in watching.
Ben: No also [James L Brooks] deserves to be in prison for this movie. It’s so bad. He should have never made a movie again. He should be…

Sorry, the conversation is over. Mods please delete this

I plan on watching this as it was meant to be seen; in a dark, dirty corner in way in the back of a pizza hut (a full parlor, not one of those shitty carryout only ones), on a screen that is tinted green and has that “winners don’t do drugs” message burned into it.

I liked how during Hickman avenger’s run, part of the premise was that Tony had expanded the avengers to this huge group that would easily be able to handle any threat (so he and his buddies could focus on destroying earths), and there were still somehow like 4 other avengers teams.

Dragon Age 2 is from the start a narrative about like whether or not you should still try to make things better through sort of RPG style heroism when the world’s institutions are all stacked against you. Hawke fails in every chapter, she tries to save her family from poverty by going on an adventure and in the end…

They just stopped this season (e.g. The most recent season of The Magicians was unbleeped)

There was an infuriating editorial in The Washington Post a few weeks ago that acted like

If you skip the like first 6 or so episodes of New Girl, it stops being a show about Zoey and is great.
