Yes, in 1919, 1941, 1948, 1962, and 1968. In '62 I was attempting to ransom the earth but it was difficult to concentrate on the task at hand whilst negotiating with a President who was casually evacuating his bowels as he spoke to me. Unnerving.

None of Belichick's decisions are dumber than Carroll calling for a pass play on 2nd down at the 1/2 yard line with Marshawn Lynch on the roster. Great googly-moogly, Collinsworth was right. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid call.

Alternating between Robert Caro's Means of Ascent and Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four. Enjoying both. As someone who has met both (and in fact was once vaporized by one of them) I think the characterizations of LBJ and Von Doom are spot-on. Also rewatching The Wire for a third time, lured in by the new HD…

Yeah, September and May/June are good times. Early October is actually pretty great. If you can't hang out on the patio/roof, NYC is more of a punishment than a vacation. And I live here.

Uh, yeah you should, considering it's easily his best film!

Yeah, I do faintly remember him starring in that adaptation of 'Time Machine' that was a tentpole-type movie that neither I nor anyone else saw. (and seriously, I'm Kang. Time machine movies are in my wheelhouse!) But still, he also starred in 'Memento', which was a big hit and jumpstarted Nolan's career— and then…

How the hell is Guy Pearce not HUGE? Not that I begrudge him his active and highly varied career as it is, but he's good looking, buff, and a terrific actor. Apologies to everyone who ISN'T a comic-movie fan, but he would have made one hell of a Matt Murdock. Or John Constantine for that matter, since that subject…

I got a 'Timeline' and 'Continuity' notification for this?

As a crazy, over-the-top Kirby creation myself, I was hoping to see a crazy, over-the-top Kirby version of the Fantastic Four—and really not looking forward to this movie. However, this trailer and the 'Cronenberg' influence cited by the created team really has me intrigued. I don't care for Nolan (post-Dark…

Seriously, Kang would like to take a moment (I can always add more moments—for I am KANG) to feel warm and fuzzy for Kate McKinnon. I don't think it's wise to attempt to 'reboot' what is arguably THE GREATEST film comedy of all time, but holy hell McKinnon is ridiculously talented. She deserves success.

This is exactly why I've turned against GIRLS— I don't have a problem with unlikable characters, but I have little tolerance for characters who are unlikable in ways that baffle me because they are so sitcom-convenient and unrealistic. And I especially despise unlikable, unrealistic characters I'm suddenly expected…

What's so bad about that? The 22nd Century's homosexuals are actually extremely fond of top hats, frock coats, and reading by lamplight. It's a real fad.

Agreed. Or at least there should be a modern, adult reinvention of the sci-fi exploration series. Just think about what an HBO budget and a commitment to some hard sci-fi could do to refresh the genre.

It is scientifically proven that Baumbach (unlike Braff) has made good films, at least one of which (Kicking and Screaming) was funnier than most straight comedies. I also thought Frances Ha was really, really good. As a youngish creative person living in Brooklyn, it felt very realistic and Frances felt like a…

Allright! Broad City is back!

That scene was cringe-inducing. And not in a good, intentionally cringe-inducing way.

Ice cream with slurred words at the middle of it. It's delicious

Hi, my name's Kang, and I'm a recovering Simpsons Fan.

How come you wearin' that red suit, D? For real it's like 85 fuckin' degrees out here an' you tryna be like fuckin' Michael Keaton.

About 1/3rd through Path to Power, the first volume of Robert Caro's LBJ biography. As expected, it is riveting. Looking forward to the next book I read, in 2085.
