He went to prison, I think he got what he deserved. 

I’m going to continue to pontificate endlessly about the dismal state in which the Marvel movies have left my childhood. I also plan to rattle off several fan theories that I constructed while at work, and then become indignant when Captain Marvel doesn’t use any of them.  

Me long past worrying whether Marvel can deliver satisfying standalone film that also work into larger story. They have this stuff pretty well figured out. Me just going to take kids to this and enjoy ride.

And then Armstrong planted a Budweiser in the moon.

Not if it’s not the story Chazelle is telling.

He’s not telling the story of the space race, he’s telling the story of Neil Armstrong. And he decided that seeing Neil Armstrong take a minute to plant the American flag on the moon wasn’t an important part of the story he’s telling.

Which is valid. 

I’m not clear how something paid for by the government from money taken from taxpayers counts as a victory for capitalism.

I especially love the Fox and Friends report accusing it of being a dig at a “victory for capitalism.” Over something that the entire NASA crew themselves would gladly admit was spending a shit ton of money on something with absolutely no practical purpose beyond giving the finger to the Sputnik guys.

If you’re going to mock the name, make it a Starbucks order, since they use like terms for their pompous drink sizes. But Taco Bell? Honestly didn’t even know she was latinx. But I never gave it any thought. 

aren’t we left to assume the Collector is dead? I can’t remember if we saw his body on Nowhere (aside from the fake reality-stone stuff).

This is a Very Good Take.

The New York Daily News was not killed by a fucking market correction. Sinclair Media is not a fucking market correction. Peter fucking Thiel is not a fucking market correction. Fuck off with this “well, that’s just how it is” bullshit. This is a goddamn siege, and takes like this are how we’re losing it.

the available restaurants is limited and you don’t pay through the site. You use the gift certificate to buy gift certificates for the different restaurants. then you get to the fun part, generally these gift certificates have “Special terms” listed below them that state the minimum purchase required to use them which…

Counterpoint dude. JJ Abrams basically aped all the story beats of the original and turned in a largely mediocre movie which was only saved by the chemistry of the fresh young leads, Adam Driver as the Anakin Skywalker we deserved, and the surprisingly emotional death of Han Solo.

There could be some twisted truth in there. There are benefits to minority kids having other minority kids around, people who share their experience. It can be difficult to be the only one from your background. This is VERY different from saying people should ONLY be around others of the same race. Research has shown…

“Actually, the divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me.”

Yes, actually, Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos did create Jessica Jones. Who did you think created her?

Iron Man (LeBron) almost had Thanos’s glove off, and Star Lord (J.R.) had to come in and screw it all up. The following massacre is all his fault.

For the record I’m an Australian and every US president for the last 40 years should be in jail for war crimes. But the staggering incompetence of the Clinton campaign in losing a very winnable election against a mentally deranged rapist is probably going to go down in what’s left of history as the decisive end of…

Oh, making them passionate Clintonistas? Interesting choice and I approve.

My thought was that even if Stan cuffs Philip, there’s no way Elizabeth doesn’t take him out while he’s doing that. If he’d known better he would’ve pointed that gun at Elizabeth. But I think the betrayal made him focus more on Philip. And gender norms, I guess.
