This has really taken a dive towards the end for me. Surprise, it was a bunch of Lindelof mystery box twists without the box after all. The only way to make twists work any more with all those people out there rewatching over and over and playing detective is for them to only be retroactively justified and not set up…

Every character on this show is a bunch of damage walking around in a big coat pretending to be a person.

Well, if anyone in the world has a history of being Mr. Cheap Misdirect, it’s Lindelof..

Oh, phew. I was wondering if he’d always looked like Power Bottom Kong and I’d just forgotten.

It’s pretty unlikely that there was any CGI to redo beyond what was in the trailer. They don’t just sit on movies for fun, they put the trailer out as soon as they had enough finished footage to make a trailer.

It really is just a cheap sausage-factory soap opera under all the set dressing, isn’t it?

While the premise of the Witcher is fine, the trailers I’ve caught really make it seem like the show is a video game adaptation for Le Epic Gamers. The feel of it all makes me think of a Michael Bay joint first and a porn parody of Game of Thrones second.

I feel like at this point McCartney’s total score over his entire life and career is +/- 0.

Straining for ‘clever’ with gritted teeth is how you end up looking like a stupid asshole.

I’m convinced the whole arrangement is designed to help avoid enemy radar

She’s selling the makeup products, not her specific Cats-like character stage paint.

I’ve enjoyed every other Stephenson novel, but Diamond Age really felt like he was just making up nonsense as he went along.

I can’t really imagine someone under 30 knowing who Eddie Murphy is. The sidekick in an old Mike Myers movie isn’t the most high-profile role.

It has less reason to exist than your average Plan 9 or Manos, certainly. It’s only arguably a “good” movie in any way because of the remaining parts of a better movie that was butchered to make it.

That’s so sad. They both deserve better.

Poe is unbearable. Just seeing him on screen makes me feel like *I’m* now greasy.

Imagine getting as serious and intense as that guy over a company that sticks colored LEDs on stuff.

I don’t know. I tuned it out around that time, not really being much interested in what a bunch of hateful cxnts are getting up to.

Don’t forget it also became a place to post spoilers for other shows and movies, in the hopes of getting them to the front page. Just a sort of general purpose “this is where we expose people to spoilers they didn’t want” spot.

We still have a bunch of DVDs, because there’s room for those in the DVD stand and we would probably keep them even without anything to play them in - we have the Star Wars unspecial edition on VHS, too, and no VHS player. In fact we even have Blu-Rays because some going out of business sale had them for like 3 for…
