Wasn’t this, like, just a movie about a bunch of Highlanders?

I’m not saying that people can’t learn and grow in terms of taste, but people seem to forget how much people loved Ready Player One when it came out, including The AV Club, which gave the book an “A.” I feel like that evolution is way more interesting as a phenomenon than talking about how good or bad the first book…

RP1 really is just Snow Crash but Stupid and Badly Written.

All I want for Christmas each year is to not have to deal with Christmas each year.

A little disappointed the Green Arrow & the Canaries spinoff didn’t get picked up. Oliver’s son William and Diggle’s son JJ in particular were great characters, and of course the Canaries. 

Real life has become absurdist, that’s high art if I’ve ever seen it.

So the thing is, most fast food itself doesn’t smell to bad when its fresh.

When the said the Democrats needed a big tent, I didn’t think they meant to fumigate the White House! HEYO!

All J. J. Abrams movies are entertaining spectacles that don’t stand up to logical analysis. It’s who he is.

Looking at it right now, Biden’s pulling ahead in Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Arizona. If he can hold onto those, he wins. Though, it’ll be the first time since 1960 that the President was elected without winning Ohio

So this is the fate of the one they call Olyphant, to roam the great television landscape from show to show to play a role simply known as: Marshal.

To echo a sentiment I saw on another board: Favreau’s boldest choice may have been not titling this episode “Krayt Expectations.” 

I'm so excited! And yet, I am so scared.

There’s a video of him performing it in studio, and it’s amazing to see about a dozen other guests sat around in awe like he’s The Comedian’s Comedian

The way Wiger draws out and soaks in every “fuck” in “Monster Fuck” gets me every single time.  It’s somehow both contemptuous and delighted.

The last episode was the best Star Trek movie since Undiscovered Country, and they managed to pull that off in under 30 min. 

There were a couple decent episodes of Voyager about them, too. Although those were Federation Time Travel Police from the future.

Mariner grated on me most of the first season. Especially as she was such of a perfect Mary Sue who always had the solution and knew everything, and her own flaw (she was demoted) was a big plus in her eyes. And even when the captain crossed a line to discipline her, it was the captain who ended up apologizing.

A great example of that is the episode where Mariner creates a Trek movie on the holodeck. It began with the trumpet-forward score playing over credits on a starfield, featured full-on phaser disintegrations in a way the films only do and had the minute long ship flyby.
