I’m sure Disney has a few thousand ChatGPT bots primed and ready whenever they put up a YouTube video at this point. I wouldn’t blame them one bit, God knows I would!

To this day (regarding “Deep Space Homer”) I believe “In Rod We Trust” is the single best 30 minute callback joke ever written. As absolutely bonkers as the entire episode is, it’s like the whole thing was written just to bring it full circle. I am still in absolute awe of that gag.

Interesting, a few minutes on google and it looks like the answer varies between about 2.67 acres per person (USDA) for a extremely varied diet, to around 0.1 acres if you could live completely off corn (about the same of potatoes). The general consensus seems to be if you really tried you could get a decent fruit and…

At this point how many Jedi were running around during the original Star Wars Trilogy? Even putting that aside why didn’t any of them help Luke when he tried to start up the Jedi academy again, or come out of hiding when the Empire was defeated?

Pullo!

I enjoyed the books, but I’d love to read a paper trying to figure out just how big on an enclosed space you’d need per thousand people to make something actually self-sufficient. I’m guessing the answer is pretty shockingly large.

Have to admit, he has aged remarkably well!

This movie wouldn’t have made a fraction of the money it did if it wasn’t branded with The Joker.

The only problem with LOTR was Amazon got caught up in a ridiculous bidding war and unfortunately won. Whoever won that bidding war was going to lose.

I loved the Expanse, but they really gave it every chance they could.  It’s not a great example of what is going wrong.  It was a show that you, I, and a very small number of other people loved.

The difficulty difference between the normal combat and the bosses was huge. I got to the point where normal combat was simple and bosses were still basically impossible. I think there was something I just fundamentally did not understand about combat (I finished Elden Ring without too much difficulty). I had to…

DCU should just fully embrace the pre-teen demographic with movies like this and Shazam.  There is plenty of money there.

Generally agree, although I already dread every moment they waste with Keeley’s new company. It is a complete waste of time. I’d much rather they just had Keeley stay working for the club and give that time to the rich set of characters they already have.

In an act of box office desperation, Tony Stark and Captain America will be revealed to have been Skrulls so they can bring him back from the dead.

Charming!

They really have to do a MCU multiverse thing where Chris Pine is Captain America (Maybe universe 1701 in Secret Wars or something). We’d all get a huge kick out of it!

The movie was a cultural moment that we all agreed was a great time at the moment.  But yes, you are exactly right.

The show is great, but a lot is already getting a little old.  Much better to end on top.

In the real world:

Reading the dialogue here made me think, it could be a metaphor in the end “mother of the team” blah blah blah...
