Man you can’t just say “the final episodes” in a headline, you made me think that the show had been canceled and I had missed the news! Had me freaking out for a sec there.

An idle person is Xenu’s tool!

If a founding member of Jefferson Airplane, who left the band before they became Jefferson Starship or just Starship, died would the obit headline read “founding member of Starship?”

Zathras really screwed up again. Why can’t he be more like Zathras!?

Good. The fact that Patriot Act was summarily dismissed the way it was - when it would be going gangbusters with everything right now if it were still on the air... or the stream... or whatever - was such a dumb, shitty decision. Be great to see him bring that energy to a bigger platform.

Seriously. Who writes a whole piece about someone and doesn’t even check the spelling of their name?! And my favorite: “... it’s worth pumping the breaks.” How, pray tell, does one PUMP BREAKS??? 

Minhaj. Hasan Minhaj. Not “Minaj” (as in Nicki). Come on, this was the single most easily-googleable part of the damn piece. (Especially after the controversy when he pointed out that Jon Stewart had been inadvertently mispronouncing his name the whole time).

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 comes on Disney+ on 8/2.

I would be super-excited to never see Michael Cera in anything ever again.  I’m tired of having to avoid stuff because he’s in it.

They brought Zathras back, but not Zathras? I bet this is why Zathras is shunned in every time zone. Zathras knows.

To be fair it’s pretty challenging to find any film that doesn’t fall into some trope. The trick is what they do with it and, so far, this looks like it’s bonkers fun which could make it work.

The Cerritos Uniform looks so good in live action, this is going to be fun 

54 year old male here. I’m totally okay with being alone the rest of my life, and you can be, too. It’s just not worth it.

I just assume that any animal that kills less than a thousand humans a year is beneath an Australian's notice.

It’s not even close. This is the best Star Wars TV show of all time.

Anyone else think for a moment that Tay was actually ex-Chancellor Valorum? The actor has an odd resemblance to Terrence Stamp.

Now playing

I went to the Turner Classic Movies film festival this past spring and one of the movies playing was The Last of Sheila, which Johnson cites as one of the influences on Knives Out. This looks like it’s much more directly influenced by that film. It was one of my favorite films from the festival, so I showed it to

Please stop paying attention to this attention-whore racist labor-stealing pile of shit.

I read this whole review and didn’t see one mention sea monsters! This isn’t a revival of the 2005 classic(I use the term very loosely) series starring Lake Bell?

That’s a pretty interesting mix of narcissism and insecurity you got going on. I’m fascinated.
