Somewhere there’s a conservative whose head is ready to explode trying to figure out if this is a gutless elite liberal techie copout to the commies or unbridled capitalism following the market and if you don’t like it, buy someone else’s phone.

Doesn’t Utah have the highest porn consumption in the country?

“I remained hopeful that our constitution is strong wrong.”
FTFY

8 months later ‘cause I catch it on Netflix, but what the hell: since everyone was drinking crap beer, I have to wonder what was wrong with Eleanor’s drink, because it had to be something. I kept trying to see if that was a cucumber instead of a lime in there.

I’m not too proud to admit I have that on vinyl.

This is an excellent point. The only two Marvel movies that really didn’t do it for me are Iron Man 2 and Dr. Strange, and I’ve seen every other one but the two Ant Mans.  That really is a remarkable success rate.

I’m assuming it has an all-Immigrant Song cassette permanently jammed in the tape deck.

Nolan wasn’t a household name yet.

I stopped reading well ahead of the president bit, but I used to scan the book jacket descriptions when a new one would come out. There does not exist a hard enough eyeroll for Teeth of the Tiger’s idea that Middle Eastern terrorists and Columbian drug lords would team up, presumably because they both just hate…

That first sentence is already pretty special, but “Bond films should reflect reality” is next level stupid.

I always knew Captain Beefheart was being ironic.

I’ll thank you to tell me what bastard leaked my script for Milk II: The Revenge.

Y’know, a Battlestar Galactica-style reboot could really work there.

Hadn’t heard that. Watching S2 now (Netflix-only cord cutter, so I’m on their acquisition schedule), and am torn between “Noooooooooooooo!” and “given how much they’re willing to make real changes to plot and character (which is part of what makes it great), three seasons is probably all they can manage and keep it…

I think it’s a dig at the fact that seemingly every ‘90s TV show is getting a revival, whether it makes any sense or not, not at Colantoni.

E.T. was originally going to be a sci fi horror movie about a farm family menaced by a group of aliens.  Maybe some of Spielberg’s original ideas for the staging filtered through.

I need a check on my perception: are there any words up there besides “Keira Knightley” and “unabashedly indulges in its smutty side”? ‘Cause that’s all that’s registering.

Which result in the ghost getting sucked off by an angel.  It’s a metaphysical clusterfuck.

It can be two things.

I haven’t seen the show yet, but this is still lousy news. I love Gaiman, but he was still earning to do prose in American Gods--there was a lot of it, including Shadow’s motivations that seemed to be missing because he was unconsciously planning for the artist to fill it in.  So a killer TV adaptation (which reports…
