"Somebody to Love" at Milton Keynes. Peak Queen right there.

The cryptic references to the last phases of Alternate WW2 were my favorite bits.

That must be the first mention of Mr. Wong I've seen in 14 or 15 years.

I suspect Netflix would've looked into bringing back Deadwood if the show had been launched in 2012 and canceled in 2014.

That’s why I always worry about rules. You know, rules for horror. It’s just not that easy or simple.

Cabin in the Woods is too in love with its own preciousness and self-aware snark to be an enjoyable movie for me.

I thought it was essentially a BuzzFeed horror film.

I still don't buy the idea that you can cover yourself in zombie blood and guts - even when you have open wounds - but a mere scratch from a zombie's fingernails will kill you in a matter of hours.

Ghostbusters 2 and the Ghostbusters 1 scripts they were working with very late into preproduction more or less proved that the first film was lightning in a bottle.

2 years? Shit. Rumors of a new movie have been circulating since 1996/1997.

I feel the same way about Ghostbusters 2016 as I would about another season of Community or Breaking Bad, etc.

"You should probably just go ahead and cheat on your spouse."

Thank you for the book recommendation!

I can afford to drive, got a new car last year and still take the train all the time.

I spent 18 months in LA without a car. It was surprisingly OK.

"The fact we're paying our artists $0.002 cents for every $10 we get from Spotify is somehow Spotify's problem."

Yes, amazing enough.

I've been waiting for this one since the series began. It's the worst of the worst.
