I remember when it was a free monthly?, rack distributed paper coming out of UW...but it was called the Onion. First saw it at a music store in Eau Claire and then it spread to college campuses everywhere.

GotG succeeded because it satirized the typical megamanical comic-book villain in using Ronan as the films big bad. The look on his face when Star-Lord essentially challenged him to a dance-off was worth the price of admission. 

Hell, there’s also a dash of Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing considering that it contained a romance between a woman and a plant monster with the memories of a dead guy.

I think of the word more because of Ms. Marvel. Still a nerdy reference, though!

I’ve temporarily misplaced my reading glasses, but according to Wikipedia, they were “female chthonic deities of vengeance; they were sometimes referred to as “infernal goddesses” (χθόνιαι θεαί).” Hope that helps.

Correction: Journalists Publishers have become less interested in the truth than they are in fucking clicks and ratings.

I thought they changed reviews so that free copies don’t count towards score. Only paid copies count.

I used to read Conservapedia for fun about eight years ago, just to see how they thought/got things wrong/called evolution a socialist plot. But eventually I just got tired of being angry. Now unfortunately that’s become less fringe and more our daily experience. I hate this shit.

I’ll stand by Little Caesar’s all damn day. For five bucks, their pizza should be far, far worse than it is. Besides, cheap-ass pizza has a unique allure, like those unnaturally addictive squares they served in elementary school.

Know who my parents are? IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER.
Amazed how many people are simply DEMANDING a continuation of the tired “special parents = special kids” storytelling crutch. Rey’s parents being nobody special is one of my favorite parts of the film.

These loudest and most abrasive fans (many of whom often sound like they hate the thing they profess to love, or at least any part of it that’s not frozen in the amber of their cherished memories from youth) tend to share one trait: that reception to pop culture is an all-or-nothing proposition.

Also, as a woman who has hugged and gets hugged often enough, I can’t say I’ve ever accidentally slid my hands up someone’s shirt mid-hug.

I’ve long been of the opinion that Age of Ultron was a victim of “blockbuster deadline syndrome”. The whole movie feels like the script needed another round or two of editing and polish, especially with all of the studio-mandated inclusions. It wasn’t BAD, it was just kind of half-baked, with a lot of shaky character…

This was actually a Joss Whedon line. But Bryan Singer did have the final say to include it in the film.

Donald Trump Jr is like the Fredo of the family except for the fact that everyone in that family is Fredo.

Yeah! They’re practically the same! Oh, remember Al Gore? Manbearpig? Hahahahahaha that’s global warming! Caring about things is stupid!

I really wanted to like it a whole lot more than I did, but I absolutely loved that scene in the car, and pretty much everything with Keaton. He played so well that blue collar, respectable but still an asshole type. Very Queens. It was all the Downey JR and Favreau that kept bringing me down.

Ahmed Best seems like a cool person. I think that every time he pops up for this or that. Makes me feel bad he’s had to put up with 18 years of nonsense but he handles it so well. It apparently chewed Jake Lloyd up and spit him out.

In his defense, he had a choice between the two things old people can be, and he didn’t choose “publicly racist”.
