Nice choice of thumbnail. Way to frame this story like an AWESOME Michael Bay summer action blockbuster withh BIG MUSCLE MEN and TOTALLY RAD BOOM BOOM GUNS rather than the humanitarian crisis and horrifying tragedy it actually is.

Well, if she made all that shit herself, then I can think of at least a handful of places in Hollywood that would love to offer her gainful employment (assuming she doesn’t already work in the visual effects and film costuming industry).

I love how “Adult Height” is considered a convincing increase risk for several different types of cancer.

Alien invasion movies are inherently stupid. There’s nothing on Earth that isn’t more abundant elsewhere. I think the worst offender in recent memory was Oblivion; “They’re stealing our water!” Bitch, hydrogen and oxygen are some of the most abundant fucking elements in the universe. But scientific accuracy isn’t on

The Passage shares the same DNA as The Last of Us. If they do the books justice, this show could be a sleeper hit.

I see a pattern emerging. Obama sleeps in a bed; Trump orders whores to piss on it. Obama passes incredible healthcare legislation; Trump tries to dismantle it. Obama reaches landmark agreement with Iran; Trump rips it up. Obama enters into an important international climate change agreement; Trump pulls out almost

What baffles me (I mean, beyond literally everything else about this fucked up story) is that they went through all this trouble. They’re white. They could have just called the cops, pointed to the two dead black men with a gun, and told the police that they were just defending themselves against these scary super

Okay, to clear things up for the laypeople, what these scientists are proposing isn’t “replacing the human genome”, what they’re trying to do is to rejigger (that’s a scientific term) the codon table.

Re: Dr. Strange - It’s a CLOAK, not a CAPE. Specifically, the CLOAK of Levitation. Someone talking about fashion really should know better than to call a cloak a cape.

Alternate headline:

Maybe there should be a some kind of disincentive for calling the cops for no god damn reason. This feels like SWATting; see a face you don’t like? Call the cops, tell them there’s a very scary black man who may have a WEAPON, and see what happens. Maybe when you needlessly put someone else’s life at risk, there

TRIGGER WARNING: RANT

I don’t get the guy’s game plan at all. “Huh, someone left a less than perfect Yelp review; I know, I’ll just go to their home in the middle of the god damn night, angrily knock on their door, blow up their voice mail, and get this whole mess sorted.” Is this maybe some cultural misunderstanding that I’m not parsing

I feel like Taylor Swift isn’t getting as much blame in all this as she deserves.

“He was allowed to do that after he assured deputies that he would keep them secure and away from Travis”

I don’t know about everyone else, but I count FIVE presidents in that picture.

Look, I like the character, I like what they’re doing with her, but I fucking HATE technobabble. Technobabble undermines a character’s intelligence. People who want to SOUND smart like to use big words to explain simple things; people who are ACTUALLY smart can use simple terms to explain complex problems.

I loved Fury Road with all my heart, and I do not want a sequel, ever. The Mad Max stories that needed to be told have been told; those characters can rest now. What I DO want, though, is for other creatives to invite us into their own vision of what the post-apocalyptic future may look like. Doesn’t have to be set in

It was a dark and stormy night when I finally cornered my wife’s killer. “Hashtag game over,” I shouted when suddenly, all hell broke loose.
