CONSUMERS! DON’T! FUCKING! WANT! EXCLUSIVE! STREAMING! PLATFORMS!

And they not responding to them. People are going right back to piracy because media companies took away the only feature they were willing to pay for.

Great job, media companies. Instead of some money, you decided to go for all the money. Now you’re…

What the ever-loving fuck does that mean?

“George R.R. Martin believes literal Divine Being could beat elderly human.”

Yeah no shit, io9, why airing you airing this kind of specious question?

Close but not quite. Think of it more of a coup by wealthy slave-having landowners resentful that any portion of their wealth might not be theres in totality, and who were equally angry that Royal Treaties with First Nations people prevented from appropriating their land en-masse. So they orchestrated a coup to depose…

It’s like BBT’s Sheldon got cranked up about by about a quarter of an octave.

We’re several years in Seth McFarlane of all god-damn human beings showing the world that it is 100% possible to do Star Trek: The NExt Generation in 2019 and have it be good and not dated and i wish io9 would stop trying to pretend that contemporary Trek is ‘modernizing’ anything.

This Picard show might still be great…

I stopped watching a little before that, simply exhausted by WWE’s inability to stop promoting WWE while watching WWE. Having to put up with commentators ‘filling air’ during matches by hyping the app and the video game and the next trillion pay-per-views was so galling I just had to walk. Then the shit with Saudi Arab…

Once you have disposed of all PAM, dispose of new PAM. THEN NEVER BUY PAM AGAIN WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

That’s amazing. I’m in Canada, where a single cinema franchise literally bought up all the movie theatres in the 90s, over extended itself, and now has to charge 15 bucks for a 2D ticket just to make ends meet.

There is no virtually competition.

When Carol Danvers asks that little girl to help her change her costume colours that scene is shot outside on a porch AT NIGHT illuminated only by the hall light behind them!

The movie is badly lit. Consciously, bafflingly so.

Aw shit that’s that guy with four bears!

I come from a long line of people treated with comas to cure our depression.

It never fucking worked.

So forgive me if I remain skeptical that this time will be the charm.

Is anyone else tired? I’m so tired. That ‘constantly calls everyone around her perverts’ is an unquestioned stock character in anime culture is just exhausting.

I don’t even have the energy to get visibly upset - I’m just so god-damn tired.

This is a a very cumbersome way to try and get around the real truth of the matter which is that Game of Thrones as a series has always struggled between its desire to be a so-called Mature And Grown-Up Pseudo-Medieval Story and a so-called Mature And Grown-Up Fantasy Story and it has always seemed to somewhat resent…

I liked Asha, and by the time I finished the last book and started to suspect I would never pick of the next whenever it was published she was one of the only people on my list called ‘characters it is worth slogging through a million asshole POVs to read about.’

“These characters are who they are, and no amount of sex, death, or victory on the battle field will change that.”

Because nothing demonstrates the mature, adult, realistic storytelling this series is known for then characters being incapable of change and psychologically remaining the same sort of people they always…

Oh, that’s what Euron looks like. Think I dropped out before he showed-up in person - or maybe not, I don’t remember. In a book full of hateful people Euron topped my list.

Largely because when he showed up I said “Martin, you haven’t made me give a shit about the Iron Islands yet why do you think this swaggering…

This is a classic American foreign policy play: ignore the fact that starting-war powers rest with Congress and not the executive branch.

For example, the 1995 movie Braveheart accidentally showed a masturbatory SNP fantasy with no grounding what-so-ever in historical fact.

Hey, turn out I already know I’m visually impaired due to complications from eye surgery. Doesn’t mean the movie wasn’t a badly-shot, badly-lit, terribly edited mediocre pile of tedium.
