Too many apocalypses, obviously. They should have designed a better calendar

That's a really good point. I feel like everybody is a geek about something, but, yeah, the clubs were way more exclusive before. I imagine being a Trekkie in the 80's was a hell of a commitment.

Multiple Mayan Apocalypses!

That reminds me, I have a VHS I need to show somebody quick. Anyone here have a VCR?

They have telepathic powers you know, because they use more than 10% of their brains

None of this will matter once next month's Super Moon pulls all of Earth's oceans into orbit.

I don't think that's necessarily limited to the shitty comic books. Sometimes, even what works well in one medium, is ridiculously stupid when it's forced to crossover into another. See: every Stephen King movie where he had significant input.

I love Roger Rabbit, but I've never read RP1. That's what it sounds like though. "Hey look! Bugs and Mickey! Together!"

Right! That's what I'm trying to say. The other aspect I've noticed is with how the sacred cows of geek culture have become, well, sacred. I remember when there was outrage over how LOTR cut out certain parts of the books that absolutely would not work in a movie version. Nowadays, I feel like those parts would have…

I don't think I'm honestly sure what I'm saying either. I'll die on this hill though!

Absolutely! Like I said before, the best have always been geeks. It's the geeks catering to geeks where it become detrimental I guess.

I think it's more than that though. I guess you could make the argument that it's always been geeks. Orson Wells was a geek, Scorsese, Spielberg, all geeks. This is more like the message board folks who would nitpick the minutia are now in charge.
Honestly, my beef is more with how it's affected music, but I decided to…

I didn't realize until too late that this was a really stupid place to ask that

Serious question: is anyone else annoyed that it seems like the people who would geek out obsessively over pop culture have taken over every aspect of it's creation? I mean, nerds have always been a big part of the equation, but it's so ridiculously mainstream now. To the point that people who aren't nerds pretend to…

So it's like the nostalgic nerd equivalent of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

It's sort of like when legislators offer up things that directly impact you as barter tools for bills. Like you should feel the same way about it as you do a trade in baseball or something. "It's only a game!"

"You're not from Russia, so [media, intelligence agencies, investigators] why are you rushin'?"

"We're bringing back all the Official Baby Barbecuer jobs. Obama treated them so unfairly. Just so unfairly. We're getting rid of all those regulations that put them out of work!"
CHEERS, APPLAUSE, CHANTING, ETC

"When asked where he had got his information, he replied, 'authentic sources—many authentic sources'".
He's perfect!!

I think it's still impossible. Whoever does it is going to end you being the object of ridicule since there's no possible way to keep up with Trump's messaging. And Trump's going to eventually get pissed because it's their fault he's getting mocked
