Remove superheroes completely, and you might have an interestingly lovecraftian-ish The Trench to make.

I’m not against extended cuts, I just prefer them unrelated to Charles Manson.

Hence the trailer’s ever reliable “from the producer of”. Which always, always translates as “run away”.

It doesn’t at all :

Godzilla is hollow.

The AVClub, champions of progress and social justice.

Too bad.

You weren’t aware of that compulsion ?

René Magritte (which doesn’t have Margo Martingale) is better than Salvador Dali.

Is there a reason why this Rick looks less drooly and burpy than usual ?

I kinda agree, although being a fan also comes with other dangers than fanboyic entitlement. It can also nourish a whole identity too much rooted in something that can become problematic at some point, leading to denial or neurosis. Emotional over-investment is always a tad dangerous, for objectivity if nothing else.  …

Well that would be quite the catch 22 for me.

Of course. As if they weren’t part of it.

Yeah well, I won’t go into details but let’s say I’ll have to wait for someone else to cast the first stone.

Uh no. A fan (from ‘fanatic of’) is a particularly enthusiastic and vocal admirer. Most of us consume a huge lot of pop culture without being a fan of anything. And fans of something enjoy a lot of other things they’re not particularly fans of.

I suspect deliberate button mashing for the sole pleasure of sending Q overanalysts into frenzy. 

This. And of course crush to oblivion anyone who emits a feminist sarcasm on their videogame, or produces a movie where one of the main characters isn’t an heterosexual aryan.

Wondering if U. S. Agent is an even worse name than K. G. Beast and if they ever teamed up against U. S. S. Arsonist and The U. Enemy.

I imagine Ulysses frantically skimming through a “why you should chose Charybdis over Scylla” webpage.

Listen, don’t get me wrong : I really detest Houellebecq.
