It literally looks like they’re playing a game within the game, where the object is to throw the ball to one another while almost but not quite getting the opposite team out. It’s seemingly deliberate, and when I watch it through that lens I laugh even harder.

Haven’t seen this elsewhere, but Sean Astin was in season 5 of 24 as cranky (but--spoiler--self-sacrificing) good guy Lynn McGill. So the moment I saw him with the laptops, I kept waiting for Jack Bauer to crash through a window and bite Scully’s throat out.

The two gents in this story both have serious issues we should neither vilify nor glorify. If your life is bent on either a) enjoying casually spoiling movies for strangers, or b) building a false friendship only for the purposes of revenge because of said spoiling, you’ve been warped by internet culture and are both…

Something else to add to the near-impossible odds: someone pointed out that Scott may have actually been killed in the Snap himself if he hadn’t been in the Quantum Realm right when it happened—so a lot of what Doctor Strange did back on Titan (or didn’t do) ensured Thanos received the time stone at just the right…

I kinda sorta know how she feels ... not on the same level but arguably adjacent:

Even the rhino bows its head! Missed that before. :)

I noticed that too!

OMG a 1,000 times this. Gravity Falls was so much what Lost could have been.

I don’t know if Alex Hirsch learned from Lost’s failings (he may have said so in interviews? I dunno), but I know that Michael Schur has said as much when he made (and is still making) The Good Place. And wow does it ever show: every plot…

Once I read that the writers all were making it up as they went along--and that was the standard operation procedure pretty much the entire show--all of its narrative flaws clicked into place. They did the Steven-Moffat-as-Doctor-Who-showrunner thing of “Screw the plot! Let’s just make cool stuff happen!” with…

Let’s talk Quantum Leap for a moment.

First, IMHO, many episodes don’t hold up today. Its heart was in the right place, but it also raised troubling ethical questions (is Sam making choices for people? what happens when they go back to their lives?), and its serious topics (racism, abuse of the mentally ill, sexual…

I was thinking “It’s been 20+ years since the events of Captain Marvel in universe and she changes her look like any person would over time”?

Are you sure you gave this episode a B+? Cuz I read your review and...

We buy boxes of ugly produce, and we use all of it up! :)

This.... this better not be an elaborate April Fool’s Day fake trailer prank, like that “Dundee” trailer was just an Australia tourism stunt for the Super Bowl. I’m just sayin’.

“Let’s get milk-faced and hum like rabbits.”

No.

Currently standing at 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ignatiy’s in the minority on this one critic-wise. :)

Read more reviews than this one. Most I've seen are positively glowing. I think there's also an impossibly high bar to clear since Black Panther ascended to such critical and commercial acclaim, that anything less than it being one of the greatest superhero films ever would make it a disappointment. If it's weird and…

I remember he had a cameo in the first part of the 1994 miniseries version of The Stand. Seemed very apropos!

Thiiiiiisssss.

I’ve given up. My father, who in my childhood prided himself on logic and belief in the scientific method, slowly morphed into a Fox News-friendly doubter of any science that suggested humans were ruining the planet. I asked him point-blank if he thought that he knew more about climate science (not his…
