Avatar is a blockbuster movie for people who dislike movies.

Fun fact, Cats cost nearly as much to make as Avengers: Endgame.

I actually attended the live recording of that episode, and it was great. The lady who sang the Second Opinion song thought Paul’s name was John- a mistake that she repeated like five times in the chorus she wrote- was absolutely mortified when Paul asked “Who the fuck is John?”

So true. Everything truly feels earned in this series, add that to Lindelof’s genuine love of the source material and the superb casting of each character- and you’ve got a masterpiece of a series.

Fun fact, Reddit implemented the use of subreddits because of just how much Ron Paul ‘08 content was being spammed on the site.

It’s difficult to comprehend that Maynard wasn’t just screwing with people when he mentioned Tool was working on a new album. In the time it took for them to put this together, I’ve gone from an angsty high school senior to a postdoc starting a family. 

The single seems to be pointing in that direction as well, which is promising. 

The physical release also looks to be pretty cool. The album includes a rechargeable LCD screen and speakers, pre-loaded with behind-the-scenes video footage.

Ari Aster was quoted as saying he wanted his movies to have “images that are seared into the minds of viewers,” he did a really good job of delivering in that regard.

“It’s like she’s taking a gap year or something.”

Seriously, I can’t tell if this guy’s a troll or just a genuine asshole.

Speaking of Tyrion, literally every piece of advice that he’s given Danaerys has backfired in some way. The same Tyrion that helped win the Battle of Blackwater became a strategic dumbass for the sole purpose of accelerating the ending that D&D want. 

I mean, Harris did kill Tom and frame it as a suicide, but I do think she’s enjoying that scene for the wrong reason. It shouldn’t be satisfying to watch because he’s successful, it’s satisfying because that success is built on covering up the criminal dealings of a wealthy benefactor.

John McCain died doing what he loved- denying health care to someone with a terminal disease.

This article on the topic is a great summary of what you’ve brought up,

Wait, which physicist? I haven’t heard about this one.

Evangelicals spent decades screaming about the Antichrist, and when he came along they voted for him with glee.
