Please don’t mistake the loudest assholes on the internet for “nerd culture” (ugh) at large. I haven’t loved every change to the comic stories that the MCU movies have made up to this point, but I also understand that stories told in different media are, by necessity, told differently, and every other nerdlinger I… Read more

I just can’t imagine being so against the idea of Spielberg remaking West Side Story that your ears and totally closed to the chorus of praise ringing out. Read more
It’s interesting to see how many people are down on the entire concept of a remake of West Side Story considering how inherent adaption is to the stage musical. It sounds like Spielberg succeeded in finding a reason for the production to exist, which is exciting.

Beck Bennett leaving is a huge problem for SNL because he's the best straight man that they've got. Like he's a super underrated member of the team. As long as Kyle Mooney stays then that's all that matters. As soon as he leaves then there's shoot no reason to continue watching SNL. Read more

God, this guy is great. Even in a bad season of a series with some *amazing* performances (and some stinkers), Sobotka stands out as one of the best-acted characters of the entire run. Read more

Anyway, Feige’s two-stepping around controversy continued as he said he’s “all for amicable solutions” when it came to the ScarJo suit. Giving a milquetoast soundbite is Feige’s superpower. Read more
“But, unfortunately, there is that aforementioned stumble. Hold on while I get real nerdy with this: In Captain America: The First Avenger, the Tesseract that the Red Skull initially finds in the church is a fake, and the real one is hidden nearby. In this episode, (and maybe this is just me missing it) the sequence… Read more
I stand by my assertion that the finale of The Office stuck the landing incredibly well. Read more
