This is great news. The more types of safe sexual devices, the better. The more choices, the better. The more that empower women to take the lead, the better. I was fine with the old model, but, yeah it wasn’t the greatest. It worked, but it had such a small foothold in the market, I didn’t experience them all too…

I was fine with Charlie’s death. Or at least with the idea of her dying. The stakes on Supernatural have been so, so low for so many seasons now that it’s hard to pay attention. The emotional beats have had essentially no payoff because the stakes are basically zero. So killing a fan favorite actually hit me, and it…

I read it this morning, then read this article, saw the comment above, and couldn’t resist.

Maybe we’ll finally get a show that demands the viewers individually to “play along” with the episode by having to do a same-time alt reality gaming experience on a second screen to actually understand the show in a deep and meaningful way. I can still dream.

All about that Ace

I came out of the theater today thinking exactly that also. In terms of AI, I asked myself: “Did this movie do anything Blade Runner didn’t?” Not really. It was really about the oppression and objectification of women.

Well said.

It is weird to imagine Bird and Lindelof on this topic. All I can think about is Ben Linus’s father once he finally arrives on the Island on “Lost.” It’s a magical place full of “special” people, and he gets handed a uniform that says “janitor” and is stuck there until he dies, a non-special in a magic land of…

How do I apply for said job?

I’m still wondering what happened to the Thals (the humanoids who lived on Skaro alongside the Daleks). Did they all die in the devastation? Did the Doctor save them? Or were they exterminated before he could intervene?

Doctor Who Movie... in Eight Years?

I thought it was because the trailer leaked (from a screening in Brazil?), so they had to get out in front of it with an official HD version. I imagine they felt the pressure to get the trailer out to compete with the hype and media blitz surrounding Avengers 2. The demographic for Avengers and this are the same, and…

It would be cool to see a Jedi use the Force to manipulate the flame-thrower's fire into a ball and throw it back at the enemy.

I hope it's not a given, but given how little use the show runners have made of Glenn's character and his marriage (the only marriage in the group), I think they probably have made up their minds. His character has languished for at least two seasons. He had one good episode this last season. Daryl and Carol, on the…

It's in Schrodinger's box. Meow.

That’s Mr. Game and Watch to you. Seriously, though, this movement could really help Nintendo in a fairly substantial way. They have said they’re going to move into the mobile platform software-based market (instead of just their own hardware), so a relatively easy start for the company would be to re-release all of…

There's something very "What's in the box?" going on with that photograph.

On reflection, Joss Whedon's biggest asset to the MU (now that Avengers 2 is in the can) is his ability to recognize skills in up-and-coming directors and writers and handing off the Marvel jobs to them.

After running small, complex universes in television and film over the last two decades, and proving himself to be one of the few capable of such narrative and visual feats, Joss Whedon understandably probably does not want to stay on in a directorial role with Marvel. He helped to stabilize and launch that universe,…
