It’s not really making fun of Back to the Future, they just wanted to draw a hard line between that universe’s rules (in which there is exactly one timeline, changes to the past affect the future, and killing your past self can destroy all of existence), and this movie’s rules (in which time travel creates branching…

By avoiding the show as long as you have, you’ve given yourself a gift. You have been given a fair warning that none of us had. We watched for YEARS assuming that there was a grand design to the whole thing, we spent many hours thinking about the show and evaluating different theories for what it all meant and how it…

I wasn’t serious, but it appears my attempt at a joke that this is the most implausible thing about the movie really brought out the “my half-brother is 20 years older than me” explanations.

So my question is, since Vanessa Kirby (31) is a full 21 years younger than Jason Statham (52), how could they possibly be siblings?

The bar for the conduct of public officials shouldn’t be “not as bad as Trump or Roy Moore.”  It doesn’t matter if Franken’s offenses were proportionally less severe.  Just because conservatives are willing to cheer for rapists on the Supreme Court and pedophiles in the Senate, that doesn’t mean we have to do the same…

I’m sure Republicans think it’s just hilarious that liberals don’t want gropers representing them in the Senate, whereas conservatives are only too happy to vote for rapists and pedophiles because it’ll really own the libs.

The “Created by Neil Gaiman” tag definitely got my wife to start watching — she’s vaguely familiar with Gaiman and has read one or two things of his, and that was enough to get her binging. But she wasn’t familiar at all with the actual comics, and so didn’t care that the series isn’t faithful to them.

Yeah the biggest issue was that if Nola ever entered a stable relationship with any of the characters for more than one episode, it would undermine the premise. So we got one episode after another where Nola appears to be heading in that direction, and then she fucks it up. It was kind of like how Richard Kimble…

The Russians already created our dystopia. It’s hard to see how things could get much worse.

I don’t like how Ansari and Louis CK are always compared-and-contrasted. They did different things. It’s like comparing a jaywalker to Ted Bundy.

So I know Kevin Smith was a married father when he wrote that tweet, but it still reads like a “bags of sand” accidental reveal that he was a 40 year old virgin in 1999.

Yeah and the shot of Thanos’ henchman floating in space afterwards mirrors the shot of the dead Alien Queen from Aliens — there is no comparable shot in Alien.

An event like The Snap would create an economic boom rather than a recession. All of a sudden you have half as many people with the same resources. Europe experienced a similar effect after the Black Death. The real pain would come after all those people came back.

Knowing what we know now, or even what we knew on 9/12/01, it’s clear that W couldn’t have done anything in those 10 minutes. But Andrew Card didn’t say “Hey a bunch of terrorists just flew planes into buildings, and that’s all they’ve got, and this is the last large-scale terrorist attack on American soil for at…

Tim Story is basically a black Brett Ratner (they’ve even both directed bad adaptations of beloved Marvel properties), except by all accounts Story is a gentleman in his personal life instead of a Hollywood Caligula.

Yeah I had a lot of issues with the final season, but the handling of Jon’s parentage isn’t one of them. R+L=J was actually of vital importance to the overall plot, even though Jon didn’t sit on the Iron Throne at the end. If Bran and Sam had never told Jon about all that, Dany wouldn’t have scorched King’s Landing…

I think there’s meant to be some ambiguity there. I felt like the situation raised more identify issues for Karl than it did for Danny — inside the game, Danny still has a male body and is still having sex with a woman, just like he does outside the game. Aside from the fact that it’s his male bestie’s avatar, the…

This was spoiled for me by some stupid Facebook post at 8am. But it got out of control when the New York Times of all places sent a push notification that basically said “Hey want to guess James Holzauer’s fate on Jeopardy???” which they would obviously only do if he were unexpectedly eliminated. The NYT used to only…

I actually like the convoluted dual T-Rex cliffhanger scene and the T-Rex running around in San Diego. What kills me about that movie is that the animal rights activists are supposed to be the heroes of the movie, but their actions (kidnapping a baby T-Rex, letting the dinos out of their cages, stealing Ahab’s ammo) di…

As long as they don’t backtrack on Pied Piper’s success yet again, and have them dicking around in a living room after one episode on top of the world, they can have a lot of fun with showing how success affects the main characters over the final season.  I’m not sure the writers ever cracked what a gradual climb to…
