NOT the only one...

Amen. The connections to the present-day United States are flooring and frightening. But a spot of correction: what we are experiencing is not a democratic government in either a small d or capital D sense of the word. We are transitioning to authoritarianism as it lived and lives in the Soviet Union/Russia.

I liked it. It’s a Star Trek movie and that’s all I need to enjoy it. Beggars can’t be choosers.

No I liked it to. I really dont get why it was so hated or why people said it was bad. It wasnt good, but it wasnt as bad as everyone says it was. It was bandwagon hate. I think it wasnt as good as a sendoff as we should have gotten though.

Scary Movie 3 was effin’ hilarious. And Superhero movie, while ridiculous, still makes me laugh out loud when watching it.

For once I’ve been surprised and impressed by how most have reacted to casting news. I expected a ton of people slamming Patterson for Twilight and calling this a horrible thing, but instead most seem fine with Patterson being cast.

Jon should’ve become the new night king. That’s the only thing I wanted.

E-boy done got thhhiiiiiicccckkkkkkk!

Speak for yourself.

LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL BLONDE SON, AERITH IS SO GORGEOUS WHERE AM I SOMEONE HOLD ME

Politics Corner - Good Riddance edition. I would like to take a moment to celebrate the banning of a lot of truly terrible people from Facebook. It’s a small but meaningful step. 95% of them are right wing hatemongers, because 95% of the hatemongers are right wing. The Charlottesville Neo Nazi rally wasn’t organized…

Okay, but how amazing did Cersei look in that preview? Red velvet? Yas Queen of the Seven Kingdoms!

I don’t know. She spent a whole season training as an assassin. She’s been really good at it. That type of guile and skill is pretty foreign to the ice zombies. I thought this was pretty logical for her character arc. 

Honestly I think they did their best, strategy-wise. That storm the White Walkers brought fucked their plans up, and yet they persevered. The unsullied saved them all, really.

What does George rr martin/the show have to do to make people happy? That was one of the best episodes of television ever assembled. All you have to do is pretend not to be a snarky hipster who hates everything. Was there plot holes? Yes. Is there plot holes in everything? Yes. Who cares the payoff was amazing for now…

For the Night is Dark and Full of Terrors, and Dude, Try Fiddling With The Contrast Or Set It On “Vivid,” I Dunno, Maybe It’s Time To Upgrade To 4K, I Hear Alien Looks Amazing In UHD

So, Marvel cancels Chuck Wendig’s series at the behest of a right-wing troll campaign and then substitutes a story in which, broadly speaking, Darth Vader murders a woman whose fandom is portrayed as a sad delusion?

I rewatched Secret of NIMH with as an adult my now wife a few years ago and it really holds up. It has this a cool premise, a deep and compelling sense of foreboding, and an excellent protagonist. I would definitely recommend it.
