Hey, be fair to the guy. He’s about to get the first woman in US history elected president, right after he assured our first black president a second term. If he lives long enough to run again, we’ll have a gay Muslim socialist in the White House. #GlassCeilingBreaker

That’s their plan: one film a year. They paid $4 billion for that IP, and they’re going to milk it to death, just like they have with the MCU, which has become an interminable slog. Rogue One this year, Ep. VIII next year, Han Solo film after that, Ep. IX after that. The assembly line is set. They’re expecting us to…

Lord of the Rings commits every sin in the CGI book. The orcs’ march on Helm’s Deep is particularly awful, with Titanic-levels of bad animation. But LOTR are great movies; so, their sings are forgiven. Part of what makes them great is that they never let the CGI balance get out of whack. Say what you will about how…

I don’t think movie directors and effects guys realized how fake-y their stuff was going to look in just a few years, once the novelty wore off.

Then there’s this thing....

Can’t wait for Wilbon’s column on how that argument only applies to hockey, not basketball, because the fans in each sport are...different.

This is about how I feel towards most people these days.

Behold, the domino uroboros

Let me offer an upgrade:

Followed you over here from the late, (somewhat) lamented Topless Robot, so I’m sticking around.

If you are truly serious, I have a monorail I’d like to sell you.

I don’t know... I felt like I was done wrong by his storyline in IM3.

Sorry I still say the movie should give us enough information , you should not have to but a book ,comic, record or watch a panel discussion to know what is happening.

Decoding each of the Peanuts has been a game changer for me.
