Sorry. I meant the first time the term was mentioned in the context of Infinity War. There’s been some hypothesizing that we’ll see some time-travel shenanigans based on film shoot sightings and rumors, but this interview felt like it was saying that Dr. Strange plays a particular role throughout the film. Felt like…

BOO. Checked for the new LEGO sets on the Target app last night and it’s said all of them were in stock in the SF, Daly City, absolutely Colma stores. Just walked into a store ready to spend way too much money on plastic, and no new Solo merch of any type anywhere. Checked the app and the products don’t even show up…

I posted that GMA vid of Benedict, Tom H., and Tom H. in yesterday’s morning spoilers because I was surprised by Cumberbatch’s reveal at around 2:20 that he was the only one who read the entire script because he wanted context for Dr. strange’s “wonderful” role in “trying to kind of hold the multiverse together, so I…

Haven’t seen it mentioned here yet, but in yesterday’s GMA Benedict Cumberbatch reveals he’s the only actor who’s read the entire Infinity War script because Dr. Strange plays an interesting role “trying to kind of hold the multiverse together” and so he needed the context. Of course this could just be his best…

Meh. I guess it’s just a different lens or set of values (oddly reminiscent of the themes of TLJ) but Han Solo as the rogue-with-a-heart dying in a final attempt to save the world via saving his son with a final outpouring of (doomed) love is a pretty dramatic, meaningful ending...one that I think is more important…

There’s a a lot of variety in Star Wars vehicle design, including lots of precedent for chunky geometry. While there’s also precedent for sleek, it seems like in less wealthy situations there should an understandable swing towards a spartan and utilitarian visual language, whereas Coruscant was filled with the sleek…

Ethiopian, schmethiopian. You ain’t been properly caffeinated til you drink a triple shot Amerikano from the Philippine bean that’s passed through the digestive system of a civet. I’m sure we’d trade poopy beans for Vibranium. In all seriousness, this shit for a pretty penny.

Won’t lie. Wasn’t planning on watching the show, but when they revealed that make-up a while back I was intrigued. Looks great, and the otherworldliness helped convince me / fool me into thinking that this show was trying something different with the DC universe on TV. Only seen the first two episodes and am being…

Random memory from my NES days was the Bionic Commando instruction manual that addressed the fact that the character didn’t have a jump function. Why? “Because his bionics won’t allow him!” Don’t have a copy to prove it, but that was such a stand out thing. My friend and I would crack up about it.

“But maybe I’ve said too much. 😜”

Yo-yo looks badass.

Long-term reader and fan here who has also been a proud union member and public high school teacher since 2003. Incredibly thrilled that you unionized AND that you wrote an article about it. Well done.

Don’t think it’s just “crippling addiction” or stereotypes that makes it accurate to say that the old C&D story was filled with problematically racist tropes and symbolism (as opposed to simply, blanketly saying something like “it was racist”). I actually think, in their own limited, privileged way, the writers and…

Did the wondercon presentation offer any insight as to why they pulled the scene? Given all the big swings they were taking throughout the premiere season, I can’t imagine why they would suddenly be so discerning or conservative. I think it would’ve been a really cool addition.

Points for intentional / unintentional comedy moving quickly from covering Hildebrand on Deadpool reshoots...

I don’t think so. I think it comes down to the approach and quality of the stories. I’m 42, born in ‘76 and raised on late ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s pop and nerd culture. This means I feasted on animation and comics—things that would serve as the blueprints and foundation / story-well for our current fascination with…

Yes. Yes it does. And I’m officially excited for an upcoming DC movie...which is a big deal.

To put all the rhetoric about “Disney Apologists” and “Marvel-Can-Do-No-Wrong-Blind-Fandom” into perspective, how can anyone look at what the MCU has accomplished and not help but be impressed?

GAWDZDAMMIT!!! SPOILER!
