A sample return mission would be a good opportunity to test out In Situ Fuel Production on the surface of Mars as well, so it’s a double pity they aren’t doing a sample return mission any time soon.

Does this mean The Mandalorian takes place, at least partially, on Tatooine?

And now, thanks to Action Johnny, I know what an ouroboros is. I am in your debt, Sir.

“What’s the big deal? When I got on the phone in the middle of a game I usually lost way more than $30,000.”

Everyone at the game knew what he was doing the second he reached under that pad and they fucking loved it. It was a fun bit of fan service and the entire fox broadcast crew can be sewn together in a human centipede ouroboros and eat shit forever for all I care. 

I want to see a show about how the characters come up with and make their Purge costumes.  

Obligatory.

“Hey, sorry, what’d you say? I didn’t quite catch that.”

To me, personally, TLJ was the first thing that’s actually felt like Star Wars since 1983. Not an extrapolation or an imitation or a tribute or a cash-in, but Star Wars itself.

When Rey and Ren are having their force mind link, he knows right away it’s not Rey doing it beacuse the effort of doing so would kill her. And in that instant, it was Rey seeing *everything* and Ren only seeing her.

The Basic Instict gag was great.

Observations and musings:

You say it’s Transformers meets Lassie. I say it’s Short Circuit meets C.H.O.M.P.S.

This will never not be hilarious and awesome.

I love this revised narrative that Marchessault was basically plucked from relative obscurity by Vegas. The dude had 30 goals last year for Florida. That’s 7 more than the next best total on the team. Do you know the only other player to also have exactly 30 goals last year? Connor McDavid.

“Living in Cam-e-lot!... eye to eye, station to station...”

The generic, cookie-cutter CG animation Barbie “movies” are just bloody awful, but Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse is something entirely different. It’s hard to notice at first since the animation style is so similar, but Dreamhouse is actually a bizarrely funny show that makes a ton of self-aware jokes. To this day,…

My dream in life will always be to vacation at Potato City.

It looked like miniatures from the get-go for me. They have a certain charm to them.
