It's also a great way to become a producer on Glee

He's actually the same person as Jeff Beck

You could buy one of the presumably-legal-ish remade consoles, like the Retron, that plays real old NES cartridges, if you have those cartridges around.

Tarantino movies are original in the sense that matters for this discussion: they aren't tied to franchises, so there's no name recognition to draw audiences in (beyond Tarantino's own name)

The "trilogy theory," that Prestige-Inception-Interstellar are a trilogy of filmmaking allegories that mirror the increasing scope of the Dark Knight trilogy has me thinking that his next film may be the start of a new trilogy, setting up a grounded world with only hints of surreal nonsense that will be expanded in…

My favorite twitter accounts are the ones that seem to be piped in from surreal worlds of pure nonsense, and Seinfeld2000 is basically the king of that realm

Great Job Throwing Two Things Together Arbitrarily, Internet!

I think it was little-watched, for one thing

Forgot about Richard Alpert. Such a perfect idea to add that sort of mysterious ageless character to a show with Lost's flashback-based structure.

Yeah, I was thinking of Desmond, and also of Daniel Faraday, but Ben Linus is probably the best example. LOST is almost comically good at adding new characters to the fold, considering how counter to the core premise it is.

The weirdest thing for me is that I watched the Berenstain Bears TV show a bit as a kid, in which they very clearly pronounce it "Beren-stain" whenever they speak the name (which is fairly often), and yet in my head I was still sure that it was spelled Berenstein but pronounced Berenstain. Brains are weird.

I assume you must, how else would you cosplay Kevin Smith?

Yeah, I thought of that afterward. If the space between your own atoms shrinks to the point that your whole body is smaller than the gaps between other atoms, you'd be effectively subatomic. You wouldn't see giant atoms like you do in the movie, but that sequence is pretty abstract anyway

I remember in the commentary, Oedekerk talks about how he wanted to ditch the whole cow scene, but everybody else working on the movie loved it so much that he left it in.

I honestly thought they were brothers until just now because my brain never processed that their last name is actually quite different

You could be right about the box, but I got the impression that the experiments were more about improving that yellow particle/fuel stuff to the point where the suit would work safely. They must be tweaking the formula of the fuel with each iteration of the test. Once they had a successful test where the particles…

That bothered me, too, but maybe something like 1-A through 30-A were inorganic, 31-B through 35-B were mice, then they moved onto 36-C and 37-C which were lambs. Dumb convention but plausible that each part of the number would mean something specific

Even without the show (though the show does spell out who does what), the movie makes it clear that Fury just got a handful of people that he still trusts to reacquire and fly the original, pre-Winter-Soldier helicarrier. It's not really presented as an un-dissolved SHIELD.

Why not MANT!

I'd like to see an eventual MCU/X-men crossover, in which Scarlet Witch finds out that she is a Mutant, but that such Mutants in this world are exceptionally rare, so she invents the whole X-men universe House-of-M style where Mutants are plentiful and her father is powerful and her brother grew up under better…
