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…

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.

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.

Dude, can we put together the crazy timeline of Kal Penn’s life...
- Penn stars in a stoner-comedy with Neil Patrick Harris
- That gets him a role on House M.D.
- He leaves that to work for the goddamn President
- And he falls in love with a man who’s cool with drinking beer and watching NASCAR on their first date

America having no equivalent to the angry, get-their-attention “Oy!” is a cultural shortcoming

I unapologetically love the character of Roy, every single thing Goldstein does as him works, there’s never a false moment even if the scripts are throwing ever more windy unnecessarily soap operatic moments at him and Keely.

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.

People spent a lot of time wondering about Cecily, Kate, Kenan, Aidy, but Beck leaving SNL is actually a sneaky big loss. He’s essentially been SNL’s glue guy during his tenure. A consistently solid performer that makes every sketch he’s in work. He was in the mold of Phil Hartman/Jason Sudekis where they may not be th…

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.

St Anger absolutely deserved a Grammy.

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.

“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…

I stand by my assertion that the finale of The Office stuck the landing incredibly well.

josie and the pussycats is one of my favorite teen movies from that time. it has an amazing cast, one of the best soundtracks, and you can’t go wrong with parker posey and alan cumming together.

Hopefully Paul Rudd pops in for one last Mac and Me clip

This needs to be copy-pasted as a reply to every article and comment, of any kind, anywhere, that complains about worldbuilding logic in fiction. If a story hits the right emotional beats, then whether the logic makes sense is irrelevant; if it doesn’t hit the right emotional beats, then what difference does the logic…

Speak for yourself; I’m STILL researching whether or not Shrek had a legal claim to that swamp in the first place, and if Far Far Away laws regarding squatter’s rights would have given him grounds to evict the other characters from said swamp.

If you start thinking too hard, you might start asking difficult questions.

“like why the U.S. government happily handed the shield over to a white guy rather than the Black man who deserved it”

Ted Lasso was much better than it had any right to be and Juno Temple was the best thing in a show full of best things.
