“The living aren’t done with you yet.”

If memory serves me, Paul tells a story about how Kubrick barely gave him the time of day, until Stanley found out PTA not only directed Boogie Nights but also wrote it.

Guardians Of The Galaxy is a fun movie, and virtually everything else about it is at least reasonably entertaining.

Hell, he’s arguably the main character of The Hateful Eight and it makes me mad more people weren’t talking about him after.

My eyes are actually filled with tears, which I know is really silly, but still. Star Wars came out when I was 10 (you can do the math. I was 10 in 1977). It’s difficult to fully express what Star Wars has meant to my whole god damn life.

The goggles! They do nothing!

The backlash towards LOST’s ending is interesting. Your mileage will vary depending on what mattered most to your viewing enjoyment. If mysteries, questions and answers dominated the way you watched, you’re inclined to be more disappointed by the time its all over. But if story and emotion ruled the day, you will come…

I became a total Titus Welliver mark because of Lost.

This is a good comparison, and probably speaks to the difficulty of trying to come to a satisfying ending on shows that build their reputations by rejecting that kind of narrative simplicity. Both BSG and Game of Thrones built universes where the idea of a conclusive ending is always the first delusion to be banished -…

Oh, for fuck’s sake, with the goddamn polar bear already. Why is that always the default question when someone brings up all the things they missed on the show and/or didn’t bother looking up? I know this stuff isn’t obvious, but come on. It’s all been readily available online for nearly a decade.

I think your analysis of the Battlestar Galactic finale is frustratingly inaccurate. If you aren’t a fan of the religious iconography and solutions that end up playing a large role in the finale, that’s fine. But to argue that these elements are added in later seasons or come out of the blue is inaccurate.

Timely Nirvana reference.

Frances Lannister will have her revenge on King’s Landing?

Tucci is my second favorite performance in this movie, after Tommy Lee Jones playing Officer Tommy Lee Jones.

Bugs Bunny voice: “Lancel. Lancel?”

I think you could make a strong case for Mark Waid as well:

I see a lot of comments about how lacking MCU villains are, but I think it’s overstated- Red Skull is an example why.

Brubaker’s take on Cap is the definitive take, IMO. 

I still really like the exchange

This episode was directed by Jack Bender who did a lot of the heavy lifting over on Lost when it came to the parallel timelines, most notably The Constant which is regularly cited as one of their best episodes as well.
