The joke is that they are unrelated topics, and his yarn doesn’t really tie them together at all, except in his status conscious mind.

My vote is for the former list rather than the latter. I would also add Panic Room.

Daddy Longlegs was nothing like Openly Gay Oompa Loompa; one was a flamboyant child, the other a previously closeted adult.

“What makes you think you know Zola’s agenda?” IE he’s weird and dangerous, but he’s not Ultron.

It’s got sexier FX. It’s thrilling in that way. The first film has charming stop-motion robots though!

Y&R is very loyal to recurring often, though. Tessa’s been there awhile, and Tracy has been recurring for years and still gets swept into major stories. No, not perfect, but I felt a strong commitment to the couple, and love how they’re accepted by Mariah’s extended family. I’m not a Days watcher, but I do plan to…

The main storyline I remember about Ashley is the feud she had with Jack over who is the real biological child of their father John Abbot, the patriarch who passed away. So painful, and so much antipathy and pain conjured up between two great actors. I like it so much better when Ashley, Tracey and Jack all get along.

Not at all true. Y&R has Mariah and Tessa as a long term, mostly happy couple; Tessa works for the media business run by lead character Devon, and Mariah is the long-lost daughter of lead character Sharon. Mariah just escaped kidnapping while serving as a surrogate mom for the baby conceived by the daughter of the…

Or one particular Harry Potter book?

Didn’t he say he has been called Master Khan?

Actually he’s going by the name of Shaun. While I agree Yeoh is largely wasted, she’s there to give us a taste of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Avenger. And the movie keeps meandering away from the plot mechanics into interesting, beautiful or funny moments of whimsy and even lyricism, enough to allay boredom at the formula.

They didn’t know the name. But when they heard it, they laughed.

It’s also part of the joke, that everyone accepts that as an appropriate name for him, while Peter Quill was more or less demanding his own nickname.

They didn’t.

They make it clear she didn’t write it, they mention Redding by name, but she clearly arranges it with her sisters in a moment of feminist inspiration.

Give it time.

A very lucky nobody.

He’s an Elder of the Universe. Like Ego or the Grandmaster. They’re a step above the Titans, and only just below Galactus. If he feels like fighting, I’m sure he can.

Not all Disney castles house princesses.

I took the avatar look to be a deliberate attempt at making a cartoonish Lara Croft / Jill Valentine type player character. “Is icon the right word?”
