On the one hand, Subway hasn’t really had an appealing marketing hook that I can recall since...maybe before Jared?

Can I simultaneously agree with you and also become a Cheerios follower (on Instagram or Twitter, not Facebook)? Because I suddenly find myself wanting to do the latter.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the previous films, but Men In Black presents an opportunity to make crowd-pleasing comedies comedies with just the right amount—i.e. not too much—of sci-fi flair and visual thrills.

I knew that the MCU was missing something, and you just identified it: Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows.

A better way to put it might be ‘best space drama since Battlestar Galactica’ although there unfortunately hasn’t been much competition for that title over the last decade, either.

Prestige-level political dramas in exciting high concept genre settings. I’ll grant that The Expanse is less given to HBO-caliber violence/sex/etc but in a lot of ways, it could be called ‘Game of Planets’.

The amount of money and merchandise movement that the Peter Jackson LotR/Hobbit films have generated, that’s the clamoring. Amazon can sell so much stuff via this.

The Vulture was even kind of pterodactyl-adjacent. Nice synergy.

They may as well pull the whole middle-chapter changeup thing and have Peter living with heretofore-unmentioned other relatives in California for a year. Or maybe Aunt May moves the family cross-country.

Hey, I’m far from the most informed or articulate person on this topic, but that’s the image associated with her. Such as related to AIDS, for example. I don’t have any understanding of her influence as negative regarding such things. I guess I’d explain it as a manifestation of our need to have positive focal points,…

In terms of ‘have they ever done something great,’ I think so. Generally I agree with everything that you say, but looking at the discussion above I feel like Rush have attained transcendence at least once or twice, Moving Pictures or “La Villa Strangiato.”

I’m not sure what I think of it. On first viewing, it kind of broke the film for me, but subsequently I’m inclined to agree with you. Interstellar is definitely in my top ten for the decade, even if I have a hard time deciding whether it’s a great film, or just great to me...but in the end I think that Nolan really…

Only about a year ago, I watched her SNL performance of “Who Will Save Your Soul” and was blown away. The live arrangement is interesting, but the main thing is the vocals. She’s a monster.

It’s one of those pop cultural touchstones that has a reputation that it is nigh-impossible to live up to for anyone who has absorbed the hype before seeing it. It must have been amazing to see in 1982 if one was already a longtime Trek fan, but it’s hard to replicate those conditions today.

As someone very fond of both Star Wars and Star Trek, I don’t think that either can boast many films that are more than just okay without the emotional investment and franchise continuity that feed into them.

George Clooney and Oprah are both high on the list of avatars for ‘enormously rich,’ which I think overrides politics as far as this is concerned, but in terms of this wedding I imagine—and this is just a casual-observer American perspective—that the Diana derived notion of social consciousness still carries some…

Well, I know that I wouldn’t dream of wearing a slightly similar bracelet unless things were beyond serious.

Ann E. Nigma?

This is awkward because I was going to make a joke about the remaining Three dying their hair black to indicate that we’ve entered the darkest timeline, somehow not having the dots connect for me that they’re already non-blondes.

There’s a lot of quintessentially 90s music to choose from, but maybe they’ll skew towards stuff that is already a bit spacey, like Radiohead (“Airbag”) or SD/MCIS Smashing Pumpkins.
