Even the trainwrecks in a write-your-own-sketch challenge tend to be...interesting, or at least moreso than the consistent C- of pre-scripted challenges.

I mean, to be fair, a B+ from Dowd is like an A+++++++ from other critics, so...

I’m honestly surprised that this got such a high grade.

No, that’s how trademark works. Copyright is not reliant on enforcement, and any author who tries to tell their fandom otherwise is either lying or misinformed.

How do you feel about potatoes?

Hey, don’t lose hope!

Why would Diaz coming out as bi be a problem for the network when Holt being openly gay for five seasons is fine? Like, the “ehhhh, I dunno about LGBT content” ship for this show has hella sailed.

It’ll be in the dairy section, right by the half & half, and is sold in the same little pint boxes. If you can’t find it, 7/8 of a cup of half & half plus 2 Tbs (1/4 of a stick) butter will get you to about the same fat content.

Sorry for ruining that screening of My Little Pony: The Movie for you, bro.

The best way I’ve heard anybody explain him is that he’s a producer in the sense of a movie producer rather than a music producer. His talent lies in assembling people with actual talent. I have no idea why that’s a thing we need, but regardless, that’s his niche in pop music.

If they insist on having him speak French, they should have at least done subtitles with a cartoon French accent.

Hot take or not, this is my feeling as well. One of the (admittedly many) ways the prequel trilogy fell down was making fucking everything about the Jedi, like they were the only interesting part of the universe--and of course it doesn’t help that the prequel-era Jedi Order sucks so hard. I just got really burned out…

Opening the Netflix app is not equivalent to starting a movie. It’s equivalent to starting to browse a DVD shelf.

Until it isn’t.

Are we gonna talk about Ra’s cock-blocking Selina and Bruce? “Poor timing” my ass, we know from this episode that Ra’s can see the future. He did that on purpose.

I assume the picture is a fake. Like, Ra’s had it painted after he revived Barbara so he could use it to mess with her head. I have no particular evidence for this; it just seems like the kind of thing he’d do.

Also, good job smuggling a mention of Azrael getting bazooka’d into a recap of Barbara’s storyline. That…

Who are all the maniacs in the study who don’t know how to make salad? What does it even mean to not know how to make salad?

It’s #5 by raw ticket sales, actually, behind (in order), Gone with the Wind, Star Wars, The Sound of Muisc, and E.T.

I agree. The rest of the costume is a nice Kirbyfication of her modern look, both recognizably Harley and recognizably New Gods, but that headpiece looks like it might as well be made of cardboard.

If someone’s enough of a crackpot to go protest a restaurant for serving meat, I fully believe they’re enough of a crackpot to feed their carnivorous pets vegan food.
