I thought it was thoughts and prayers that stopped bullets?

Or God himself should have stepped in and helped a brotha out.

Pedro should have used a bible instead because the only thing that stops a good guy with a gun is a guy with the good book.

Clearly it will be mostly Beck music videos and reruns of My Name is Earl. Maybe some Alvin and the Chipmunks in the afternoon for the kids.

I was at Kaiser yesterday and looking across at the large Scientology facility. It was empty and a friend and I had a great conversation about religion. I will never forgive KCET for selling that studio to them.

LOUD MUSICAL INTRO IN THE STYLE OF A 1980s CARTOON.

With all the That 70's Show alums in Scientology, I feel they could do an update:

Real Housewives, but with new Scientology moms so that no one can actually speak.

That’s So L. Ron Hubbard: Contestants must guess which “facts” about the founder of Scientology are real and which are fake.

In my dreams, I logged into Jezebel and the headline said

Machinarium.

How do you figure? It’s a pretty generic RPG, I don’t see how it would appeal to someone that games don’t usually appeal to.

Heavy Rain was always good for me, especially with women who didn’t game, but Until Dawn might be a good choice too.

What a scam. A victims’ fund? Take the money from the Weinstein brothers and their fat wallets.

Call-outs to Tarkovsky, for sure... but how ‘bout an even more obscure credit-where-credit-is-due? The book Annihilation was “greatly influenced by” (partly lifted from?) J.G. Ballard’s 1966 SF novel The Crystal World, a fact missed by many book reviewers a few years back. Alex Garland, in his 28 Days Later/Sunshine…

Lately I was getting into a string of Soviet SF films. Solaris is pretty much the high point for them.

I’m not sure I want to see a movie where the shimmer harbors a threat that can be neutralized with a pistol. If anything, the promo poster should feature a bazooka, gatling gun, plasma gun, lazer carbine, or flamethrower.

This is simply bad timing on the movie’s part, but I recoiled at the film’s promo pict that features the assault rifle on the foreground more than the actress. It’s bad enough when movie posters show pretty women cradling handguns, but assault rifles?

OK, but unlike with Oscar Isaac in Ex Machina, there was never a moment during Solaris when I was hoping Donatas Banionis would bust out his sweet dance moves...
