No longer a benevolent protector of mankind, the radioactive lizard king stomps out of the ocean mad as hell, and immediately lays waste to a facility belonging to shady multinational tech corporation Apex Cybernetics.

“The entire Suez Canal situation is so dumb that Florida, apparently anxious that it’s title as the home of the world’s most inexplicable behavior [...], is trying to get in on the action.”

I am not someone who reflexively derides Marvel or DC movies, despite not being a comics fan in general. I will say this, though: superhero ensembles are inherently awful, conceptually, practically, and aesthetically. I remember when I was an 8-year-old watching the seventies cartoons where Batman, a figure…

It sounds as if the Carl Denham character is basically a stuffed-suit functionary inside an Exxon-like corporate bureaucracy. If that’s the case, they would seem to have overlooked an obvious alternative in the form of an independent-minded, swaggering Texas oilman type with an eclectic array of grand, moneymaking…

Jon Daly, for his part, tweeted “Fuck you @Jeopardy,” which gets to the point just as directly.

I wonder if it’s the original SP model or the later one that had genuine rear illumination. It looks a bit like the latter, which would mean he missed a golden opportunity to wash out the film’s color palette with shallowly angled, overhead LEDs.

Disagreements on whether he “paid” enough or not for the S.G. rape, on whether the trial was fair, on how to deal with the fact that she really wishes him to be left alone with that story, and, what is way much important in my eyes : the veracity of the other accusations (he has admitted and apologized to Sam Geimer,…

“What I’m saying is precisely that people like you cannot process more than one variable, just want their on/off toggle switched, and run with it.”

If Barsanti was obsessed with “virtue signaling” or “trendy wokeness” in this article, then wouldn’t he approve of a longwinded, overwrought disavowal of culturally insensitive depictions rather than imply impatience and disdain for it? Or am I expecting too much logical coherence from the Intellectual Dark Web of the …

How is this playlist supposed to serve as an uplifting ode to new beginnings? These songs are not about moving on from the past in general. They are all much more specifically about venting one’s resentment toward ex-lovers, with an exclusive emphasis on one gender’s point of view. This is really stupid and confusing,…

I am one-hundred-percent in favor of using pronouns, in bios and in any other context. By substituting for long words and even abstract phrases with a single syllable, pronouns enable us to communicate far more efficiently and easily than we otherwise could. I think firing someone who opposes their use is a bit…

He wrote an essay for the Los Angeles Times about the unlikely friendship he developed with Jerry Falwell. It’s oddly heartwarming.

“Speaking of Shakespeare: that’s a funny name, right? It sounds like a guy who shakes his spear! Like he waves his willy around! Did he ever write a poem about that?”

“Which brings up a good point: I don’t think enough attention gets paid to how people who worked with Spector and suffered his abuse get sort of double-victimized by his disgrace.”
