Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the finale, mostly because it WAS so cathartic and optimistic. The original story ends hauntingly, with a ton of ambiguity and open questions. Nobody’s the hero, Adrian’s a villain but he wins and he’s not entirely wrong, and you’re left as much in shock, confusion, and

Everyone who doesn’t want to watch this movie (and I’m in that group) should instead go watch Phoenix in You Were Never Really Here, where his work is quiet, understated, and absolutely spectacular. That film, which appears to be about a hit man doing a particular job but which is actually an exploration of trauma,

Ugh, I can’t agree with that at all. There were a bunch of episodes in the second half which I can honestly say would be at the absolute bottom of Sunny’s catalog.

The Gang Gets New Wheels is a fantastic episode too! Maybe a top-5 episode for me.

This had to have been memorable for the dozen(s?) of people still at the park after 15 1/2 innings of baseball.

Here it is again in slow-motion and zoomed in a lot more.

Reporters are so soft now. I remember the days of Herbert McGoo, Joe Dribbler, Dick Frank, Johnny Johnson, Big Jim Pincus, Wally Habbermaster, and their ilk. They’d get a quote out of ty Cobb or honus Wagner if it meant a fight. If you thought you could throw McGoo out of the clubhouse he would patiently oblige and

Aside from Logan, these moves have been moving in the wrong direction for a long time and I’m kinda glad that we’re finally done. X2 and Logan still remain my favorite movies in the franchise, but the remaining movies failed to repeatedly up the ante like the MCU movies do.

This is a great plan and I see absolutely no downsides. It’s also effectively in place for many beer league softball games that don’t have outfield fences. Nothing is better than when your opponent mashes a dong like 500 feet, goes into his home run trot, then is thrown out at the plate by a try-hard left fielder.

I realize I’m breaking rule #1 here, but I just use a good old fashioned French press. The steps to making cold brew are pretty simple: mix grounds with cold water, leave it in the fridge overnight, and separate the grounds out in the morning. No need for a fancy apparatus.

Ah yes, Chekhov’s iron Islands, I didn’t consider that. Also, regarding next season, you might want to sit down for what I’m about to tell you...

Badly-played baseball is better than regular baseball. True?

Done right, any sort of Annihilation adaptation is going to make me happy as hell.

Mandarin wasn’t the villain of the Extremis storyline.

Mandarin wasn't in the original Extremis story. Hell, Killian commits suicide at the start of the story. Hall was actually behind everything. 

If you want to get really cynical, Tony Stark having significant character development and status quo shakeups in his solo series only for all of it to get completely shat on by some other writer who just wants to make a big dumb crossover event, is actually peak Marvel Comics.

This is probably what the plot of “A Star Is Born” should have been in a 2018 remake.

Pulse SMS allows you to message from multiple devices, and it’s super easy to set up!

Yeah I mean Google’s problem is that they keep mothballing services instead of just evolving one system/merging them together. That’s what I mean by actively hostile to messaging users. It would be better if they just exited the space entirely.
