Stick with me here... The malice isn’t in the intent, but in the ignorance of the assumption.

I feel like people forget (or were just too young to experience) how pretty much all of the best episodes of the X-Files were the standalone episodes. Home. Squeeze & Tooms. Ice. Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose. Jose Chung’s From Outer Space. The Post-Modern Prometheus. Bad Blood.

In case Americans have ever been under the impression that their police forces are uniquely terrible, let it be known that law enforcement in Australia has a long history of being violent, stupid, racist, and almost ridiculously corrupt. (Check out the history of the Victorian police force some time.) The most…

Honestly, this ranks about a 1 outta 10 on the scale of bad things Sydney coppers have done. 

Kindly go fuck yourself up a hot stovepipe

Convicted twice in a year and still making threats from the comfort of her home? How’s that work?

I genuinely don’t get it.

Don’t forget “grabbing an oil tanker to use as a baseball bat to slam a kaiju”. Also, mad props to Idris Elba for making “Today, we are cancelling the apocalypse!” sound like an actually badass line and not the absolute high camp it actually is.

Not who she is or what she stands for, but what her job is, the job that in part was frustrating her earlier in the episode when it restricted her from being part of the away team.

I’m pretty sure that was Rhodey’s voice on the other end of the phone call with Mrs. Fury. Which would confirm the theory that Rhodey is a Skrull that’s been going around since last week.

I think I can speak on behalf of all of io9, and potentially the global movie-loving community at large, when I say thank you for sharing that knowledge with us.

Where the hell is Romancing the Stone (and its sequel)? As far as Indy imitators go, it’s not only the first out of the gate, but it was also very influential in its own right. Half the adventure movies on this list steals its its romance dynamic.

Too bad about Beetz, she stole the show in Deadpool 2.  Was in charge of every scene she was in.  

Nobody blinked because nobody saw the movie.

“Would this blade then not belong to her?”

“Number of articles” quota.

The title of this article has real “The Onion making fun of Lifehacker” vibes.

If we truly want a safe and secure society, then the only real way to ensure it is to have a safe and equitable society in which terrorism can find no fertile grounds of disgruntlement in which to take root. It beats security theater every day of the week. Probably costs less than security theater in the long term…

Matt Gaetz: the lovechild between roofies and Axe Body Spray

They named the child. They knew what was coming. The child was alive outside the womb briefly. While an abortion, this was a (necessary) loss of life and a loss for them. This still was their child. This is the only tangible recording of this experience. This is heartbreaking, depressing, and a loss known by too…
