Meanwhile, Gillian Anderson is glad and would do it again.

Give the Emmy to whoever managed to create a perfectly ambiguous line that could easily be read as an underline or a cross-out.

Did you just say with a straight face that The Last of Us is on the same level as Mario?

This doesn’t bother me that much, because wild retcons have ALWAYS been part of this franchise. And anyone who wants to argue otherwise apparently thinks Lucas fully intended to write a make-out session between siblings.

My favorite is the people who are acting like casting Jack Black and Lizzo represents the mainstream-ification of a beloved niche property, as if the very first Star Wars didn’t become the highest grossing film ever until it was beaten by its own sequel (something not even Avatar managed!).

No mention of my favorite: Jason Alexander, Fischer Stevens, AND Holly Hunter in The Burning.

I have no idea what cliffhanger he’s talking about. They escaped in the Naboo ship. I guess you could argue we don’t know precisely how Grogu got from that point to the position he was in when we first met him, but that’s still not “cliffhanger” territory.

And being betrayed by her would likely be the final push Din needs to turn his back on the Watch once and for all, like we’ve all been hoping the show has been building towards.

“By the way, when’s he going to come back? He died on Rebels, but he’s died so many times before.”

Personally, I’ve never understood the accusations about this season. So it has episodic stories with different tones, you mean like...a TV show? Which it’s always done since the first season? It’s very reminiscent of the people who accuse the MCU of being “too fun,” and I’d guess there’s a sizable overlap. And for all…

It will never not be hilarious that Tom Cruise singlehandedly destroyed a whole fledging shared universe by insisting the first movie be entirely about his own awesomeness (and making an actor two years younger than him call him a “younger man”).

The guy from the Spanish version of Lugosi’s Dracula always looked creepily like Cage, so this just makes sense.

Lowery just got screwed by Indiewire with a false clickbait title to their interview with him, implying he thinks the Mario movie is everything wrong with society today.

Mario could have been a massive multi-media billion dollar earner since the ‘80s, and literally the only reason it hasn’t happened until now is that Nintendo is a century-old playing card company who are insanely cautious about this kind of thing.

This is nothing like a new thing. Several Marx Brothers movies have noticeable pauses after the jokes to let people finish laughing.

A while ago, IGN put up an incredibly convincing Zelda movie trailer as an April Fools joke.

Did I just oversleep on the day when we as a society had a meeting and decided we were okay with Mel Gibson again?

That villain at the start is The Spot, who’s only been adapted from the comics once before in an episode of the ‘90s cartoon, especially notable as the only one where the network censors allowed a shot of Spider-Man getting punched since it was through a portal and thus kids couldn’t imitate it.

Deep cut alert: I hope they bring in Alfonso Cuaron to finally put his tiny organ playing people in there, and when Rowling tries to object, he says “I’m sorry, I can only hear people whose work has turned a profit in the last decade.”

My distinct memory is that the vast majority of fans were very excited for it, and were even mocking DC for how they were calling Wonder Woman “too weird” to put in a movie at the time, when Marvel was doing this.
