My wife is also a fan of Thor’s Abs of Uru, but Loki is the one who really makes her feel nasty.

Same! Seeing a billion goddam articles about Infinity War plastered all over every conceivable corner of the internet isn’t helping, either. I’m thinking now might be a good time for a Media Blackout, and just spend the next few days reading actual paper comics to relax as I try not to LOSE MY DAS’T MIND.

Yep, we’ve already watched Labyrinth at least a couple dozen times. My girls now recognize David Bowie’s voice when it comes on the radio and will call it out. “Dad! It’s the Goblin King!”

We watched a regular DVD, from the Alien Quadrilogy Box Set I picked up years ago. I have a decent-quality Samsung Smart TV, but the DVD player in that room is fairly old; it’s a PS3. Your implication, if I understand you correctly, that sub-standard image quality may have contributed to my daughter’s dissatisfaction…

Nightmare on Elm Street has gore and jump scares a-plenty, but the violence is so cartoony that kids (some kids, at least) can easily dismiss it as unreal. Something more “realistic” can be deeply disturbing to a young mind.

My youngest daughter has the strongest inclination toward scary movies of any of my kids, and so I tried to watch Alien with her last year (she was 7). She’s a big Ghostbusters fan and considers Sigourney Weaver one of her heroes, so I thought she would love to see the role that kickstarted her career.

My 3 daughters are the same (throw in Gremlins and Ghostbusters to round out the set). When pressed to give me their all-time favorite movies, they said Beetlejuice, Willy Wonka (Wilder Wonka, naturally), and Flash Gordon.

And since this article features Dwayne the Rock, let’s not forget Jumanji. Not a direct adaptation of an existing game, it was more a movie about video games in general.

Hey hey! One of my all-time favorite Kpop vids! This song and video are energetic and cinematic on so many levels, I truly consider it one of The Greats.

We can disagree on the particulars (no cheese? fuck that nonsense) but I am confused why the core concept here is so controversial. Money devoted specifically to Supplemental Nutrition shouldn’t be used on junk that has no nutrition. Just because it fills your stomach, doesn’t mean that a candy bar is food. America…

I don’t know which sites you frequent, but it’s not just io9. I got tickets for Infinity War on Friday night instead of the Thursday opening, so Friday will have to be a Total Internet Blackout Day. Which, to be honest, isn’t such a bad thing every so often. I should probably declare Blackout Days more often, and…

Rosebud killed Dumbledore!!! Wait, I think I got that mixed up somehow...

That’s cool, I actually just got my first pen recently on a trip to Oregon to visit family. It was an interesting new way to indulge, at least until the battery crapped out. I’ll probably invest in a higher-quality device next time I’m out on the West coast.

Can I get a maybe?

Before replying earlier, I actually searched for a concrete definition of prestige TV, but no two sources seemed to agree. So, in the spirit of our modern age, I just made one up and tried to sound confident in coming to my (completely arbitrary) conclusion.

LOL, fair enough. How about: ”this story, which happened over 20 years ago and involves a mind-altering substance, is accurate to the best of my recollection.”

Let’s all agree now - if there is no Thanoscopter, we riot in the theater and burn the muthafucka down.

I don’t really know the “dictionary definition” of prestige TV, but thinking about Altered Carbon:

Maybe we have different definitions of “prestige TV”, but I think Altered Carbon absolutely qualifies.  

Dude, I’ve got a great story (and it is actually 100% truth). I got stuck without a way home visiting an ex-girlfriend’s college campus, and had to score a ride (a couple of hours’ drive) with some random guy she knew in exchange for gas money. Travis, I think his name was. We made it back to Minneapolis just fine,…
