I don’t think the lactose intolerant need abstain from butter, as it is 100% butterfat, there shouldn’t be any lactose remaining.

It’s a damn shame The Girl With All the Gifts didn’t get a theatrical release stateside, as it absolutely belongs in the company of the films you named.

Even if it’s square it is also rectangular.

The whole point of the ‘basket of deplorables’ comment, in context, was that beyond the proud racists, anti-Semites and misogynists, there are other groups of Trump supporters that needed to be listened to and engaged with. The talking heads on cable news seized on the phrase and isolated it from that context.

There are shorts? And now, new ones?! Please tell me they will be collected after this theatrical run which will surely come nowhere near me.

I’m not a huge comics guy anymore, and haven’t been for a long time. I mostly buy graphic novel collections of well reviewed runs, but man am I thankful for you writing, Evan, on Kotaku and now io9/gizmodo, as not only does it direct me towards what runs I need to investigate, but provides a window into a different…

Not provable is not the same as not true. It is nearly certain Barrowman was referring to Moffat, and not mentioning his name simply allows people such as yourself to gaslight Moffat. This coming from someone who is way more of a Barrowman fan than a Moffat admirer, but who is agnostic about another series of…

I did not understand this either. From a comicsvine.gamespot post:

I felt and still feel that emo gun-giving and dancing Peter Parker was actually hilarious and not the problem with Spider-Man 3. It was a lack of focus. The script tried to do too many things, likely due to studio pressure, and the center did not hold. If Raimi had been able to focus on the symbiote without putting so…

Ugh. Unfortunately, that scene is the only remnant in the existing film of the experience we could have had. It really feels like it was studio pressure that excised the fun. This movie wasn’t a complete trainwreck, like BvS. You can see potential. Bryan Singer, DO. NOT. FUCK UP. DARK PHOENIX. If that is where you are…

It predates the downloadable only games you discuss, which I also love (shout-out to Shadow Complex, Pac Man CE, Super Meat Boy, Braid, Castle Crashers, Fat Princess, Splosion Man, Pixeljunk Shooter among many others), but I remember when Luigi’s Mansion was criticized for being too short, when it was in fact nearly…

I don’t know that there’s ever been a superhero film that was truly a remake. I’m sure someone will prove me wrong. The copyright issues would be more complex, I would imagine.

Fant4stic 4 got a sequel, but I would contend that as an adaption of a franchise with a lot of narrative history, the newer FF movie would have been a reboot even if there had been no sequel. Why? because it is restarting a storyline for an established franchise. It may or may not mirror the original film. To the…

I was literally chortling ‘Ho ho ho’ to myself as I glanced down and saw your comment.

The last two letters may not be necessary. Remember how Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade highlighted how the letter ‘J’ did not exist in Classical Latin? There are problems with this in the movie, but J and Q are more modern letters and may not be a part of the cypher in the new Zelda game.

The point of the slideshow you linked to is that she is NOT heavily retouched.

Thank you. I saw this article at work hours ago, and checked in just to make sure one of SF's biggest zero to hero transformations wasn't overlooked. Such a terrible character as initially written, and I never expected to like him.

One of my all-time favorite science-fiction movies that isn't really a science fiction movie at all. It's about the possibility that we never really know, understand or love anything external to ourselves. Psychological romantic horror, beautifully realized. The original story was much more focused on the likelihood…

The generous spirit of this statement, and its clear-eyed awareness and acknowledgement of the issues involved and not just the animus, as well as the seriousness given, recently, to the possibility of ethics violations, is truly impressive. In the past, there was a defensiveness in response to criticism that…
