Patton Oswlat on a Netflix special said making fun of Trump was a pain in the ass. to paraphrase the bit, if you saw a monkey flinging shit and then spent all the time about coming up with a great shit flinging joke but by the time you come up with it the monkey has taken the shit and made itself a hat out of it. 

I know writers who use subtext, and they’re all cowards!

“The doors of Darkplace were open. Not the literal doors, but evil doors. Dark doors. Doors to the beyond. Doors hard to shut because they were abstract and didn’t have handles. More like portals really.”

“He whisked off her shoes and panties in one movement, wild like an enraged shark...”

Publisher Dean Learner looks like he’s from a Chapelle Show bit. Fake mustache that was put on slightly crooked, and a weird, poofy wig.

Finally, a book with no subtext. Take note, world of publishing!

Blood?

it reads like a very silly, very cutting parody of the worst excesses of ’90s literary horror

Actually screamed when I read the headline.

How outré (“that means ‘out there’”) is it?

Beats the first hour, which is ten minutes of action followed by 50 minutes of hiding in plain sight and (sporadically and briefly) dodging the same dang enemy fighter.

I am here for the 80's video arcade game Cinematic Universe and am excited about the possibilities of an Asteroid, Missile Command, and Galaga movie

I’m too afraid to start a game that I know is just going to get cancelled after two levels.

I know fans like to construct unofficial Beatles albums using songs from their solo careers, and I’ve always imagined my own faux-Beatles album comprised of diss tracks they wrote about each other, like John Lennon’s “How Do You Sleep?”, Paul McCartney’s “Too Many People”, George Harrison’s “Wah-Wah”, and Ringo…

But I would miss the AVClub’s stock headlines for each episode: “[Insert celebrity name] Isn’t Enough to Save a Middling SNL.”
