I loved Penny Dreadful, but to me it was the Eva Green show (even though a lot of the cast was great, Green was so hypnotic to watch that they all sort of paled in comparison.) So knowing this would not have her in it, I wasn’t really sure I’d even bother watching it, but Natalie Dormer is a great choice so now I’m…

The most reasonable explanation I’ve heard of a birth plan is that it’s writing down all the decisions in advance that you don’t want to be making under intense pain, sedation, or exhaustion. Stuff like how long you’re willing to wait on a natural birth before getting a C-section (yes, they have more experience, but a…

I don’t like the sequels very much, but I’ve never felt the rage that they seem to inspire. That is, until I saw that JJ does that stupid fuckin two spaces after a period thing. Unforgivable. 

Honestly, that site is fantastic. I miss those days. Obviously, it’s just a replication of those days, but I find that far less “eye-bleeding” than the constant barrage of obtrusive ads and auto-play videos that are the norm today. Shit, this site is unbearable without ad-blockers. 

Say what you will about how it looks, but I greatly prefer this kind of Internet to the one we have now. More personal, less crowded, less hostile, no “monolith” sites sucking up all the ad revenue and making it more difficult to establish competition.

Agreed. This isn’t offensive. We don’t need an apology for every brand campaign that doesn’t land. 

We live in such humorless times. Was anyone seriously offended/triggered by this? Can’t people even let a cheeky paper napkin go without the Greek Chorus of outrage?

He doesn’t owe us an explanation.

A Point Break copy, you say? Preposterous!

This all came from a movie about a gang that was stealing DVD players from trucks to sell for a profit (also sort of a Point Break copy).

Fast 5 beat Avengers to the whole “superhero crossover” game like a year before in 2011, and did it better.

I found The Force Awakens much, much more fun. This one was kind of a bummer actually. The comedy stuff didn’t work as well and some parts dragged. Anyway it’s just my opinion. 

OK. I thought we had moved on from all the political stuff and generally both acknowledged that, yes, The Last Jedi was not a good film, and that hardcore Star Wars fans are the worst. Laura Dern is fine in it but her conflict with Oscar Isaac is an idiot plot that feels forced and -after the reveal- borderline…

How soon “soon” is seems to be proportionate to the desirability of the event.

Yeah, I hated TLJ, but I ditched Star Wars fandom years ago. My childhood memories growing up in the 70's loving the hell out of Swar Wars are just fine, but the recent spate of SW movies flat out suck ass.

This is basically the same situation I find myself in with The Last Jedi.

Personally, I’ll take Cary Elwes any day.

That Mcgonnigal one seems like a pretty big screw up!
