Yeah, I went in expecting to love it. As a lifelong Marvel fan I thought I’d get all sorts of clever Easter eggs, and as a fan of Patton I thought it would be really funny. But the Easter eggs are pretty shallow and the humor felt really hacky. I watched the first 3 episodes since I nearly gave up on Rick and Morty…

I never read the book but Gene Wilder was fun to watch in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Johnny Depp movie, on the other hand, was a nightmare of Johnny’s and Tim Burton’s worst unchecked tendencies. So is there some sort of untapped fandom of Willy Wonka that I’m unaware of? After seeing Hollywood mainstays…

The only Eternal I had any attachment to is Starfox because he was in the Avengers in 1983-ish (with Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel, MY Captain Marvel) when I went from casual comics reader who would throw or give away comics after she read them to serious (as serious as one can be at 11 years old) Marvel comics fan…

That’s what people said before Guardians of the Galaxy.

Not even a mention about Lil Nas X’s pants ripping during his first song? Is it a “high road” thing or did you just not notice?

Martin Short and Nathan Lane? I foresee some very subtle and subdued comedy from Only Murders.

Since I’m 3 weeks past my second shot and with the latest CDC guidance, I decided to go see a movie in the theater yesterday. I don’t know of anything that I’m anxious to see coming out before June at the earliest, so I just tried to pick a movie that I haven’t already seen streaming, wasn’t an old re-release and…

I really see a daytime talk show as a bad choice for Tiffany Haddish... She’d kill it, but it feels like a way to wind up a career and I think she has the potential to do so much more. She’s had some success but I don’t think she’s reached anywhere near her theoretical peak.

That felt Sarah Silverman-esque in its combination of the childish and the profane, and I mean that in a good way.

Well, everyone gets a stinker once in a while. Pixar has The Good Dinosaur (and arguably the Cars movies), Marvel has Thor: The Dark World, Mass Effect has Andromeda... But damn sure I’ll check out the next offering from all of them because their batting averages are so high.

The Good Wife/Fight is/are pretty great, but they really are a different beast from Evil and Braindead. There’s a little but of earnest West Wing-ness, but it’s much more clever, with a twist of near-30 Rock absurdity at times. The casting just might be its greatest strength, though. The regular cast are great, but…

I see some “this is the answer” comments, but honestly... This is the answer. Garak wins by a hair for me, but man, I love Quark, too.

Yeah, knowing Netflix, I foresee a 13 episode first season, 8 episodes for a second season six months later, then a quiet announcement that it’s being cancelled.

Guardians of the Galaxy was considered a potential lackluster movie before it was released, too. I don't know much about the Eternal, but the casing is in its favor to be a success.

Agents of SHIELD is technically a 3rd show in the MCU. Do the Netflix shows count? There was no on-screen connection, I don’t think, but did they reference other MCU characters?

Crass were around in the beginning and they, and other bands on Crass Records, were largely political. The less political bands got major label record deals more easily, so they are more known, but huge swaths of punk bands, hidden from most people on independent labels with limited pressings advertised in small indie…

Yes, punk rock only happens when rebellion is widely accepted in society. C’mon, Glenn! “Cancel culture” is the perfect backdrop for a punk explosion. It may not just be white kids playing fast and simple guitar music, though... Is that what you miss?

Getting real Mr. Peanutbutter vibes, here.

For real. I played probably about... oh shit, I have 86h 15m, I was gonna say it was like 40h... Got tired of the side quests and headed for the endgame and stopped playing in the Arasaka building somewhere, and I don’t think I was ever chased by police at all. Maybe once and I drove 2 blocks and they disappeared?

It’s…
