This is really exciting. But please consider removing the name of the last surviving Turtle, or at least adding a spoiler alert.

Wait... “Woody and Buzz are back?” Woody too? How? What was the point of 4 if we’re still going to bring back Woody?

I’ve lived in Alberta my entire life and somehow this giraffe is the only cast member that I’ve ever met in real life. Super nice guy but he kind of has his head in the clouds a lot of the time.

I mean, I don’t know if that’s THE annoying part...

My Vita thumbstick somehow survived OlliOlli 2 but my thumb sure took a beating! There is a special sort of shame that comes from having to explain to people that you’re wearing a band-aid because of a video game.

Why on earth would he volunteer a story in which he is a complete jackass to a person who had obviously just lost their job?

Every once in a while, I am rewarded for sitting on a game for nearly a year before finally playing it. Sigh... Okay. I guess it’s time to dive in. Time to be sad and scared during my gaming time for the foreseeable future.

While Marvel having doubts about the quality of this film makes total sense as the reason to keep Spidey out of it, isn’t a more obvious reason because at the time of Venom’s release, Spider-man was currently snapped out of existence?

These new mixes have been incredible. Such a gift. Giles definitely has his father’s ear.

It feels good to be part of this kind of discourse these days.

This was my knee-jerk take as well, but then I remembered how weirdly intense some of my own reactions to things have been at emotional times in my life. I once started crying, hard, when the song from The Neverending Story came on at the end of a podcast as I was walking to work on a busy downtown street. I was a

“Edgy?” Pfff... We say “edgemental,” grandpa. 

Oh, of course it doesn’t have to be praised. That would nullify the point of art entirely. What I was saying is, art should be judged on its own merit, and never by its adherence to what the audience is perceived to want.

Fans might feel a sense of ownership, sure. I can appreciate that. Doesn’t mean they get any ownership whatsoever, though. That’s not how it works.

“I want...” is the universal theme to every TLJ complaint I’ve yet seen. And that’s what makes it so illegitimate. It doesn’t matter what you or any of us want. That’s not what art is. It’s about what they made. What you wanted that to be is irrelevant.

“...once a busy crossroads along the old sub-lightspeed trade routes, but its prominence was bypassed by the rise of hyperspace travel.”

I don’t think we’ll ever get another Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby (or even another Zooropa), but this is a good song and I’m excited for the new album.

Help. I can’t unflare my nostrils.

That blender left the assembly line dreaming with all its blender brothers and sisters about the many delectable concoctions it would soon be making possible... Healthy fruit smoothies, frothy milkshakes, maybe even the odd guacamole.

Fellow Canadian here... Couldn’t help but notice that none of us have pointed out that, liberal utopia or not, we still can’t watch that John Oliver video up here.
