Yeah, playing games based on metacritic score led me to The House in Fata Morgana, and there was no bigger waste of my time this year. They are taking any internet review as a legitimate review.

It’s The Lizard, not Reptile, though the latter would have been pretty amusing.

I can’t believe he’s had the rights to Lexicon locked up for like 8 years now and his choice of next project is “Kingsman Sequel” or “Kick-Ass Sequel,” flip a coin.

This is correct. Yoda was at the height of his Yodaness in the High Republic, a couple hundred years before the movies.

I think the High Republic is like a couple hundred years before the prequel era. Not old enough that Yoda’s not there (that’s definitely Yoda), but at least two or three hundred years.

I’m guessing multiple reasons - LotR, Wheel of Time, loss of a major character (Alex), that the Laconia based future seasons would have cost too much in effects, and that it’s possible the non-book reading audience probably just wants to see the story wrapped up. I know that for my parents, they sort of lost interest…

If you’re a politician, spy, or anyone dealing with classified information, using a smartphone would be the opposite of smart.

To be fair, she learned from the best person at the best place - Allison Janey and Ellen Barkin in Drop Dead Gorgeous were two of the most accurate drunks ever committed to film.

I truly couldn’t watch the last half of the last season of Broad City because it became such a weird, angry, sad break with the entire show up until then. You’re the Worst did something similar, but there was pathos running through that whole show that just wasn’t there in Broad City until the end.

A live action Ranma (the way they did Cowboy Bebop) would simultaneously be both the most hilarious and most problematic show you could make.

Alistair Reynolds’ Revelation Space series might be the best choice, as it would be cheaper to get the rights, easier to film (fewer alien species), and the story is very, VERY similar to Mass Effect.

I think it’s hilarious that Kid Rock, born firmly in the middle of Gen X, thinks:

Well, since he became CEO in 2008, their stock price has gone up 750%, which is exactly what they saw in him, and continue to. However, it hit its peak in Jan at $91, and is now down to $60 something, a loss of 25% from the peak. So the question is, do they toss him now and rescue what is, in all, a 500% increase, or…

How is the board not going to just give Kotick his golden parachute already? There’s nothing he’s doing that could be worth what’s going to happen to their stock price if he stays on.

Thank you. I have yet to click on a slideshow, and I’m not about to start now.

Kelly Reilly pops up in lots of different things (e.g., the only good part of True Detective S2)

Frightening deep cut.

That bon mot machine was called Man from UNCLE, and it’s too bad Guy Richie never made a movie after that.
