I remain dumbfounded that Trump’s contribution in America’s descent into a fascist kleptocracy isn’t due to an elaborate scheme on his part, but simply the uncontrollable reaction of a fragile man-child’s pitiable fragile ego. A milk-coddled poor little rich boy accusing a civil rights warrior as only talk works out…

unemployment line

these are engineers and scientists, people with advanced degrees and decades long careers. they would be snapped up by a long list of academic, research, and business interests in a minute. They won’t be spending any time on the unemployment line whatsoever.

“Are you now or have you ever been a believer that man-made CO2 emissions are responsible for rapid global warming? Answer the question!”

Yeah, no change.

I’m sorry, but this is plain wrong. Iron Man was a risk—gambling the future of their nascent film company on a then C-list character. Making the Incredible Hulk almost simultaneously (they came out the same summer) was a risk—if Iron Man had done poorly, they were almost certainly dead in the water. Crossing…

If you don’t want your daughter to hear the word “pussy” maybe don’t let her watch the segment where you’re defending Donald Trump bragging about grabbing women by the pussy. That’s like going on Twitter on a Sunday night and complaining about Game of Thrones spoilers.

‘Global warming is under serious debate with many “real” scientists reversing their claims’

One of the reasons Ex Machina works and Morgan doesn’t is that Ex Machina deftly plays with men’s ignorence of women’s inner lives. It has been said that one of the greatest flaws of The Turing Test is that it requires human tester to be aware of inner worlds and experiences different than their own.

The sonic screwdriver didn’t appear on Doctor Who until “Fury From The Deep,” which aired in March 1968, within a week or so of “Assignment: Earth”’s first broadcast. It’s just a wacky coincidence, or possibly the work of meddling time travelers.

Also, the Borg are a pretty obvious copy of the Cyberman.

It’s no secret some people are already feeling superhero film fatigue.

GotG introduced me to songs I didn’t know I’d liked and was the first movie soundtrack I bought since the 90's. Weird thing is I noticed maybe 2 songs: the intro which was deliberate and the outro which was also deliberate. The rest of the movie I never noticed the score because it was blended so well. Honestly I was…

The songs are integrated so well into what’s happening on screen, but aren’t obvious in any way.

But you can have a violent, over-the-top action movie with a cast of sadistic characters where the narrative isn’t sexist (female characters are written as fully-rounded characters, the evilness isn’t predicated on sexist tropes), and where the plot is engaging and the jokes are funny? Nothing about “violent criminals…

... what if he was, though, because they’re all grim and boring as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

To be entirely fair, the trailers were clearly trying to make it look like this would be their Guardians of the Galaxy, so my guess is people expected a lot more comedy. Dark comedy, maybe, but comedy.

Funny thing is, the GOTG Awesome Mix was NOT “hip” or “with it”! It took the mildly bold choice of using tired old AM tunes for a cool throw-back-style movie, and made both things special to a new generation, while still embracing their parents’ sensibilities.

The best part is reading comments in message boards in my country, where people are going nuts over the trailer because it has Bohemian Rhapsody. One guy even declared preemptively that this is going to be the soundtrack of the year because it will have multiple Queen songs.

Now THIS:
“Because of all the things that are happening, the world is ready for a bulletproof black man.”
