“What if Bin-Gate, but EVERYONE’S ice cream got taken out of the freezer?” is certainly one way to boost viewer engagement this season

Another retrospective on The Simpsons. The internet ballet... goes on.

I have the Saturn V by my tv and it was worth every goddamn penny, it’s amazing to build and to look at. One of the best modern Lego sets, full stop.

Having the entire third act revolve around a saxophone solo is a bold narrative touch.

They had to think (THINK!), think about when to release this Respect movie.

Seriously, why the hell was Rowan still here this week instead of Mak?

Apropos of nothing I briefly met John Glenn, in 2013. I introduced myself, got his autograph, shook his hand. He was a 5'10 nonagenarian and I was 6'5 and 235 pounds, but based on that handshake and the look in his eye he would have been willing and able to throw me right across the room if I’d said the wrong thing. 

I’m not going to go buy a whole system just to play this, but I might dig up my N64 so I can play Rogue Squadron again (pace Hughes’ claim that Rogue Squadron originated with Gamecube)

I heard they’ll be playing taps at his funeral.

The trouble with Chekhov’s gun (beyond being wildly over-referenced in general) is that itis often taken as meaning “If a gun goes off in the third act, it needs to have been introduced in the first act” by amateur online movie experts complaining that things “weren’t properly introduced.”

This is the only reply I’m going to upvote.

The thing about getting into too much Sailor Moon was, those cartoons have got the boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing.

For a hot minute I was frantically trying to remember who Jerry Harris played on Cheers.

I am extremely on board for an E Street Band album of actual live in-studio performances. Extremely.

In their defense, George Lucas (despite his later claims to the contrary) also had no idea what the hell he was doing as he made the original movies, he just got lucky along the way.

Super excited to see Hannah Georgas here - one of the best singers to come out of Vancouver imo. I saw her open for Sam Roberts years ago and have been hoping she’d get a break ever since. 

The rest of this album is all over the place, but Teenage Dream is an all-timer. Even noted snobs Arcade Fire agree. https://slate.com/culture/2014/03/katy-perrys-teenage-dream-explaining-the-hit-using-music-theory.html

I bet Zack Snyder’s copy of Save The Cat! has so many passages underlined and circled you can’t even read it.

I’d say Nedry underbids not so he can extort Hammond but because he only cares about getting the job so he can steal the embryos.

Watching that over and over again drives home how fucking brilliant that little camera move up and down with the foot is to make you “feel” the weight of it without even noticing it happens.
