Aw, but that's not good enough! Can you imagine the conversation? Thea, "So yeah, your daughter went off on that boat and died…except she didn't, and came back as a lesbian assassin. Except then she DID die, for real…because I totally killed her so dead. Still feel bad about that, BTW. But then, after six months, she…

Sooo did anyone ever inform poor detective/captain Lance that his one miraculously still alive daughter was back in the area? Seriously, Sarah, take an hour to go have breakfast with your pops. He's not doing so great.

I'm liking the Big Bad Crossover, I am. But man is it silly. I remember back in the day when some people were leery about the very concept of superpowers entering the Arrow universe. And now Oliver and Company are spending a whole episode trapped in pods in an orbiting alien spaceship. But it's all good. It's like how…

No matter who is involved, I still don't get how this is still the premise for the first Pokemon movie. What bizarre backroom, trans-Pacific dealings went on to decide that a western studio was allowed to make a Pokemon movie, but strictly based on a weirdo fringe title that was never even released in the west, and…

…ahh, but was it?? Putting on the crown and gaining ice powers always happened simultaneously. Who's to say someone else could've slipped on the crown, used the ice powers in strict moderation, and still come out with their sanity? Or not used the ice powers at all! It isn't the One Ring—I assume you can put it on…

Yeah, I admit any real motivation is lacking. But simply having Ice Powers was enough to warp a good man into the Ice King in Adventure Time! The shows are hardly related, but there is a precedent, so c'mon.

I was honestly pretty disappointed when Caitlin "came back" from being evil by the end of the episode. Let's face it, she's the great big glaring BLAH character in Team Flash. As Killer Frost, she was finally interesting and compelling. But no, she got 'rescued' back into being Mopey-about-Fiance McGeneralScience…

Okay, now this really hurts. I didn't get Cohen as a kid (who possibly could?) but I heard him constantly, being one of my dad's favorites. Then I got really, really into him in college and around that time—behold—he was actually on tour despite his age. I somehow managed to get a couple of tickets, and took my dad to…

Though it's a bit cliche to say so, read the novels of William Gibson if you want an idea of where internet technology is going. Linking right in to the bodies and perceptions of internet stars who are famous only for Livin' It Up seems especially insightful and accurate.

DC loves its lesbians. There sure a lot of them, and good for them! Especially for carrying them into a mainstream, family show like this. It's almost as bold a move as when Maggie Sawyer appeared in the 90s Superman cartoon with a woman who was obviously her girlfriend holding her hand in the hospital. Yet still,…

That really was a kind of weird cancellation. By all accounts it was because toy sells weren't great. And although that model is far from dead, why were they gambling so hard on toy merchandising alone to keep a show afloat in 2012? An otherwise high-rated and acclaimed show at that. It wasn't 1985. There were so many…

I'll always remember the year, in the late 90s, that my buddy and I went forth for Halloween as The Men In Black. The whole costume was basically black suits and sunglasses. We were cool. Yet no door we knocked on seemed to know who the hell we were. And indeed, more than a few adults seemed to think we were the Blues…

Wow. Harsh, dude. Very harsh. Did Die Hard donate a lung to your dying sister? Are you from bizarre nation where Die Hard cured all disease? It's an okay action movie, not a religious tract that calls for death to any and all detractors. Yikes!

…except no, because one of these two parties is being PAID to professionally perform a service (entertainment), and the other has paid to be entertained. Two people disagreeing on the street? Yes, sure, have it out. An entertainer tearing into his audience, who has paid for his services even just by sitting down and…

My problem is with the performers who expect to be jacked off by the mere act of performing anything at all. Who, in fact, expect it and think they deserve it, and seek to punish anyone who dares to thwart their masturbation by daring to to not sit in rapture to their glory.

I'm sorry, but people do in fact have a right to talk during shows, and yes, even shout out at the performer if they feel like it. Even the best comedian isn't some holy figure we should all sit in rapt silence for. The point of the whole thing is that THEY are strictly there to entertain US, not for us to sit and…

To me, though, that's still assuming we need to have this all-consuming reverence for The Comedian. If you just happen to go to a club and sit down with your friends, but then The Comedian comes on stage, then HUSH! The Comedian is now doing his thing, and we must be respectful of that! This is very important to the…

Die Hard is one those that you're just supposed to be wildly into if born pre-1990. It comes up time and time again in all manner of sitcoms as THE show you're supposed to love as a male. But man, I just don't care about it. Die Hard is okay. It's JUST okay. Fuck Die Hard. It doesn't deserve to be the weird cult it is.

The modern comedian's favorite subject is how "PC" everything is, and how they can't tell a joke anymore without being booed off the stage by these uptight, ultra "PC" audiences. And even Louie, usually a great, insightful show, spent a long time shaming a woman who didn't get that all this isn't about the audience…

After reading the great book 1491, about the Americas before Columbus, I sought out Apocalypto, only to be struck down. Netflix DVD, which usually has everything, lists it as "Availability: Unknown". That's just spooky. How can there be that few copies in existence that even one disc can't find it's way to me? And…
