Everyone always praises Mystery Inc but I always bounce off it because... I don’t like Scooby Doo! I find the dog annoying! I find dim-witted Shaggy annoying! They are not characters around which I desire to spend any time, and MI being the ‘good’ one can’t escape the crushing weight of its central character being a…

I have always — always — hated that fucking stupid dog and his obnoxious voice. Dropping the dog is the only good choice Velma made!

People keep showing up in greater and greater numbers for John Wick sequels so who the hell knows?

Because, well, they are. Animation is (usually) drawn on twos - 12 frames a second played at 24 frames per second (well, traditionally 23.976 but who’s counting?). Very xpensive animation is drawn on 1s 24 frames playd at 24 frmes per second.

“Rendered” 60 and 120 animation (with is grotesque in the first place because…

“Sometimes, modern AMVs are even rendered at 60 or 120 frames per second thanks to video software like Adobe Premiere Pro.”

This is not a good thing. This is a stupid thing that fucking idiots who don’t understand animation do. This is like writing ‘sometimes fans of songs upload them at ten-times speed thanks to the…

I really hate how we have to use ‘isekai’ now and have an expert come explain this strange and exotic idea.

Points to 1950's The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Point’s to 1900's The Wizard of Oz.

Points to 1666's The Description of a New World, Called The Blazing-World.

Points to 1321's The Divine Comedy.

No, no. The Gunslinger is competent.

“We’ve got to do something to stem our declining revenue problems! What if we triple-down on twenty-years of making the movie-going experience so viscerally unpleasant and expensive that we’ve produced a customer base with virtually no brand loyalty?”

No, Spike Lee has just tried pinching Will’s only to have Questlove fart on his hand while he was reaching across.

I was going to make a crack along the lines of “All those Funko-Pops and grumpy Batman figurines—gone! Gone! Oh the humanity!” but then clued-in that this was an indie retailer with the novel idea of selling videogames.

Doom co-creator John Carmack, abusive pet owner who abandoned at elderly cat to die in a shelter because he’s piece of shit human being who couldn’t be arsed o look after it any more.

Superman returns is the best live-action take on Superman in the last twenty years. It runs too long and could be tightened up but I’ll still take its warm colours and empathic, loving Superman over a single fucking second of Snyder’s ‘Pa Kent once told me it was probably better to let kids on a bus die then reveal my…

And I thought I was the only other person still pedantically trying to maintain the difference between raising the question and begging the question.

It... is working just fine here, though, because the grammatical work it is doing is ‘pun.’

Oh god that’s so awful.

“while Evangeline Lilly is uncomfortable with riffing and improv and acting and performing and screen presence and emoting and—”

“Mafia (or Werewolf, if you prefer)“

I’m more of a Blood on the Clocktower kind of guy.

Season 3 and 4 of Korras are outright excellent television. Season 1 is a bit messy owing to the fact that is was allegedly supposed to be a contained one-season sort of thing and then was commissioned as a series and then wasn’t again and so it wraps itself up a little too quickly and neatly and strangely because it…

I find the normalization of chat overlays to be the most baffling thing about twitch streaming. I don’t understand who gives a shit, who wants to see the endless doomscroll of random bullshit overlayed with the content they’re watching. it’s up there with the sad egomaniacs who pay for the privelege of hearing their…

Question: who is the woman crying in the background of the header image?

I really expected the OTP from Usagi Drop to make this list.
