Kind of a shame they don’t keep it around for another two years and then just suddenly stop airing it without any sort of finale or explanation in April 2024

“Sure, the Empire is a genocidal regime of terror - but when the Rebels damaged those AT-AT Walkers on Hoth, that was taking it too far. Those are private property! Whatever happened to peaceful protest?” -

That’s my understanding of it too, it’s just that in casual parlance, I don’t really distinguish between the two unless it seems like the context demands it. I probably didn’t learn the difference until I was in my late 20s, so I was already committed to imprecise nomenclature. This might be a general American habit,…

I vividly remember doing a sketch about Noah and his family to a bar that couldn’t possibly care that we existed. We were in robes made out of bed sheets, had props and everything. The middle of the sketch called for my friend and I leave the stage for a few minutes and return later. We stood on the side of the stage…

“Fat Man and Little Boy” was not the best take on the Manhattan project (that would belong to the short lived UPN series “Manhattan”). But it had one great line”

I was in a few semi-pro comedy groups for years, and my friends and I talk more about the times the audiences ignored us much more than we talk about our outright failures.

Well, obviously this really only applies to people in performing arts.

This film better fuckin’ have a 25-minute Feynman bongo solo - one shot, uninterrupted take.

Thus, snark.  Its easy to spot.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

Vanity Fair just put out a pretty nice vid with Gaiman going through the trailer. For anyone that’s interested:

Instead of snapping his fingers with the Infinity Gauntlet, all Kang needs to do to get rid of the half of the new Avengers crew is tell them to get vaccinated.

I would die happy if media companies started an annual tradition of random crossovers (say, as a Christmas thing) just for the hell of it. Captain Kirk hangs out with Wammawink! Stewie and Chewie go on a road trip to Vegas! John Wick visits Downton Abbey and doesn’t kill anyone!

My heart skips a beat when I see a William Shatner headline now.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The discourse cannot hear the discourser;
Blogs fall apart; the clickthrough rate cannot hold;
Mere snark is loosed upon the world

And Strange’s reanimated zombie corpse wearing a cape made of the souls of the damned. You know, typical kid-oriented stuff.

There are other examples in the MCU of magical weapons being a character unto themselves, like Cape/Cloak. All-Black is kind of like the One Ring. MCU Thor has always had a “special” relationship with Mjolnir. The best scene in Ultron was Thor being concerned/jealous that Cap got Mjolnir to move. Stormbreaker’s…

Like being in love with someone with a terminal cancer diagnosis?

I beg pardon; two pieces of pop culture that did that song any justice.

After having just seen it, it is definitely inferior than Thor 3.
