It wasn’t me, I never said the song was pro-gaslighting.

Nah, the hook of the song is the repetition of “it wasn’t me” juxtaposed with obvious evidence of cheating. This is the reason the song was a hit, and it’s why people are still amused by the song over 20 years later. It’s a pro-cheating, pro-gaslighting song. You can’t mumble the message of a pop song in the last…

They won’t introduce Miles Morales in the MCU until Tom Holland starts looking old.

Yes and you’re a loser, and I’m richer than you. I’m doing above average, and certainly better than I would be if your glorious socialist revolution ever took hold. I know you’re doing worse than average, because everyone who uses the term “bootlicker” unironically would have something to gain from socialism, because…

That’s just a loser mentality. Play the game and you can have a quite comfortable life. Call everyone with more money than you a bootlicker, and you won’t get very far.

In fairness to this movie (which is overall quite bad, and frankly embarrassing next to del Toro’s version), Pinocchio does kind of turn into a real boy, it just happens mostly offscreen with Jiminy Crockett’s VO saying he heard a rumor that he turned into a real boy. In my opinion this was done not to tease a sequel,…

There’s just no pleasing some of the poors.

The genius trick the show played on us was that for the first three seasons, the game was played entirely on Logan’s terms, with him constantly dangling the Successor role in front of the three siblings and then yanking it away. So it appeared that the way for any player to win the game was to win Logan’s official…

What’s flimsy is the conceit that ATN’s call of the election will determine the outcome.

It annoyed me because Kendall isn’t meant to have composed the speech beforehand, but then he gives like an abridged Ayn Rand speech completely off the cuff. We’re supposed to feel like the writers labored over the speech, but that Kendall the character didn’t. And instead it felt like he’d spent all week writing and…

The idea is that the premature call in Wisconsin will give Mencken a leg up in the court proceedings, because ruling for Jimenez would be “overturning” the election.

So if Jimmy Fallon doesn’t allow himself to get bled for millions of dollars, he’s a bad person? “I support my staff” doesn’t mean “I will personally pay my staff out of my own checking account.” Blame management. Jimmy just works here.

Mean.

I think this may be why they chose the one-episode-one-day gimmick for this season — since the story must wrap up within two days of showtime, we can assume that Mencken will become the next president and block the GoJo deal. Any legal challenges that could change the result prior to Inauguration Day would happen…

They’ve done some excellent character work with Connor this season. I would probably punch my brother in the face if he ever spoke like that about my wife (though he never would), but Connor stayed level headed even as he told Roman to fuck off. Connor actually looked — dare I say? — presidential in that moment. And…

I’d rather they just keep Severance shut down until the strike is resolved. It sounds like they’ve been having a hard time settling on a direction for the story, which makes sense given how wide open everything was blown in that first season finale, and it’s much better for them to work through those story issues…

There are apparently a lot of angry nerds who couldn’t love a Super Mario Bros. movie unless Mario was voiced by the original guy from Mario 64 talking like “It’sa me, Mario!” in an offensive fake Italian accent for all 85 minutes.

My theory is that Foxworld basically operates like the Russian state. Anyone who would appear on camera at Fox News is obviously a horrible person, otherwise they wouldn’t take the job, so every single on-air personality has “kompromat” on the books. The toxic culture at Fox encourages their talent to drink the Kool…

This just feels like the kind of show that cannot possibly end with the Big Bad vanquished and our sibling heroes victorious. At least one (probably all three) of the siblings will wind up in some form of personal hell. If Matsson’s position does crumble, it’ll be mutually assured destruction.

I think the answer there is that there was no scenario where Thanos is defeated on Titan. We saw Quill’s plan “almost” work until he loses his temper, but I think Strange saw millions of variations of the fight on Titan and they lose in every single one of them. No matter when Quill learns that Gamora died to give…
