Yeah, I’m having trouble seeing how “Kal’s adoptive parents are afraid of him and teach him to hold back” is any better than “Kal’s adoptive parents teach him not to help people.” What if we just stick with “Kal’s adoptive parents teach him the value of life and instill good morals”? Seems like a character with that…

Apparently just letting Puma swipe their branding without pushback, thereby opening the door for other companies to do the same?

Clear, succinct, and absolutely correct.

The Warriors are just signing whomever the fuck off the scrap pile at this point in a show of pure hubris.

Their Ghost Rider movie is another underappreciated gem (in part because the first one was such a stinker), just the perfect Sunday afternoon flick with Nic Cage wrestling with Idris Elba and Ciaran Hinds to see who can chew the most scenery.

Not gonna happen. They’re still trotting out guys like Bill Kristol on major news networks, even though he’s been wrong about everything his entire life. He’s in the club, so are all of the rest of these guys, and they aren’t going anywhere. Eventually they’ll dust themselves off, start saying “Trump was never a true…

Yeah, between that and the origin of Han Solo’s name, I feel like Hollywood is just fucking with me sometimes.

Wait, I thought The...uh... Bulwark *giggle* was Weekly Standard 2. How many life rafts for pundits who have been wrong about everything for 30 years do we need?

It’s because of LeBron’s history of dragging otherwise awful teams to the Finals. Granted, yeah, that was in the East, but his supporting cast with the Lakers this year is not appreciably worse than his supporting cast with the Cavs last year.

Drives me fuckin’ crazy — I know they didn’t *know* that LeBron was going to sign with them at the time, but picking Lonzo and his busted shot and ditching D’Angelo (who struggled, yeah, JUST LIKE MOST YOUNG GUARD TEND TO) when you’re definitely going to make a play for LeBron (who needs to be surrounded by…

Maybe even more. Lord knows CNN and MSNBC will do more than their share of carrying water for these clowns. Look at all the Iraq War cheerleaders who show up on those networks now. Like it never happened. The Republicans will just say, “oh, Trump was never a REAL conservative” like they did with Bush, and go back to…

oof, I hate this. +1

Lots of people are really, really invested in the idea that an R-rating validates their taste, rather than just enjoying comic book movies for what they are. There are scads of Venom fans out there who bitched endlessly that the movie — despite starring a character who comfortably existed in Code-approved comics until…

In Winter Soldier, they explicitly state that she was born in 1984. Not that they won’t fine a way to wiggle out of that, but still.

This was my first thought, as well.

Don’t know. I’m in the same boat. Every time he comes up, it seems like he’s referred to as “rock star” without ever having produced anything that made it outside a beardy rock critic circle jerk.

My friends and I used to refer to these folks as “Iris H-Men,” after a fella we know who had one or two Irish ancestors or something and got “Irishman” tattooed across his fingers.

Yeah, Kavanagh is a toady, but Gorsuch seems smart enough to realize that what goes around comes around, and that setting this precedent up on a tee for a future Democratic president is not the way to go.

I’m a Laker fan, and I knew Jerry West was going to end up pulling this off the moment the Lakers said, “nah, we’re good” when he showed interest in coming back, and he walked across the hall to hang with the Clips.
