I suspect that this is AI-generated content because nobody — and I mean nobody — wants to see Dinosaurs back. Grade-Z catchphrase comedy played out by abominable squishy-toy puppets. Keep that shit in the natural history museum. 

A modern version would be preceded with a PSA educating kids about the importance of sitting still once in a goddamn while just to give their parents a break. 

Jeez, there are two of these goddamn things? 

Now playing

Well, at least they’ve got a theme song ready and waiting:

Because there aren’t any new ideas out there, apparently.

I can’t tell if this is the South Park guys or somebody parodying them. Wheels within wheels. 

See, back in the eighties, we had to buy our OWN cocaine!

Don’t sweat it. But I will take this moment to unreservedly recommend Tolentino’s “Trick Mirror,” which has a whole bunch of high-quality essays and, if you’re into simple but achingly felt stories of human relationships among the young and Irish, “Ordinary People” by Sally Rooney. I’ve only read “Hunger” from Gay

I don’t doubt that many women have been told to be modest instead of taking credit, but there’s a difference between taking credit and trying to clear the field. This woman went right after some very big names. The old rule still applies to absolutely everyone: if you’re gonna declare yourself a major-league talent,

Yes, I know. But when the writers here leave a door open, I gotta go through it.

How can this story possibly be “developing?” Has this guy flatlined or not? 

Potential Onion headline: “Area Woman Who Styles Herself an Intellectual Chooses Ugly Shirt” 

If you’re going after Tolentino, Rooney, and Gay, you better be the second coming of Joan Didion. I’d bet against that even after just having read the article. 

Not Another Blair Witch Movie, It’s an XXX Parody!

I had no idea that Corman made a Fantastic Four movie. So are we saying that this intelectual property has been the subject of copyright shenanigans not once but twice? Strange, as the two official Fantastic Fours — if that’s the plural — were pretty terrible and made almost nothing at the box office.

Also, didn’t the cheapie version of “Fantastic Four” involve  J.D. Salinger’s kid? I thought it was illegal not to mention that when talking about it!

Dork! Anyway, what’s your favorite Nirvana record? 

I know! Who but Guitar Center tech dorks ever listened to Joe Satriani?

There is that horrible cannibal worship scene that seems to go on forever that might keep it off the screen until the end of time, and, oh, that’s nice commenter/comment synergy there, I suppose.

I’m not really a science-fiction reader, but I’ve read a few of the culture novels, and I think that one of their attractions is that they’re just not made for the screen at all. They have an action sequence every now and then, but Banks seems to grasp that most technological utopias would be kind of boring: they’re
