Aw, no love for Krampus? ;) But actually I would put Silent Night, Deadly Night on this list. Is it a great movie? No. Is it fun to watch? You betcha.

One of my favorite animes of all time, and I say that as a mostly non-anime person. Loooovvveee FLCL. So this is fantastic news.

its construction is detailed in a breaktaking opening sequence

Ha! No, I never actually met her.

Interesting fact: one of the kids from the original film is distantly related to me. I won’t tell you which one though. Okay, I will. It’s Violet.

American Jesus, is that you?

I always loved the Iron Maiden album covers when I was a kid, especially Somewhere in Time. So yeah, I’ll probably be getting this. That’s two things in one day io9 featured I now have to buy. This site is costing me money. :)

Oh God, thanks for telling me about something else I now have to have to complete my Dark Crystal collection. God, that is gorgeous.

Sigh. Shut up and take my money already.

That is too perfect. You win. :)

Your spidey sense is accurate, apparently.

Interesting. This was the one Marvel film this year I was planning to miss. Guess I should reconsider then.

It would make absolute sense for a master spy of Bond’s caliber to be bisexual. One wonders what ridiculous name his onscreen romantic partner would have though. Jocko Codpiece? I don’t know.

So, he’s basically saying he wants to look more buff and sexy, and have his crotch more prominently displayed? Hmm. Nothing against McKellen, but I don’t think he has the body to pull that off. Of course, they could always give him the fake muscular body armor look, I guess. Personally, I rather prefer the film…

It’s Hollywood. You know they’re going to remake anything that was even remotely successful in its own time at least once.

Is the child in Mab Graves’ piece a boy or a girl? I love the ambiguity there. And, of course, Dan Mumford’s art is fantastic as always.

Yeah, I live in the South, so I’ve removed ticks from all sorts of places on my body, balls included. No biggie.

Very well put.

Short answer: flat-Earthers are stupid as fuck.

I pretty much agree with all of that, though I do think Millennial media critics have a tendency to jump the gun and bash things like this immediately without really giving the show a chance to put it into context. And even when there’s no satisfying context to put it into, I think there’s something to be said for…

You’re very welcome!
