The Wachowskis are often hugely underrated for how they can merge batshit weirdness with genuine heart or, at the very least, clear passion.

Let it go, bro. The movie was a success and Rian Johnson is in charge of future Star Wars films. Even Joss Whedon didn’t get that much trust from Disney.

War.

“What the fuck.”

Right now I’m imagining Quentin Tarantino in a cell with ‘Law and Order: SVU’’s Detective Stabler.

Do you laugh out loud when you supersize it?

Have you played Soma? I think more people should talk about Soma, because it’s a far truer horror game than pretty much anything I’ve ever played.

“And you can only display that painting with the 4K ultra-resolution 37th century graphics made possible by Xbox One Box, the most powerful device ever witnessed by any sentient life form in the universe!”

“What advantages does this war have over, say, an ethnic cleansing, which I could also afford?”

What, you don’t cut a hole in the ass part of your pants every time so you can poop while wearing them, then burn the ruined pants in a nightly religious ceremony ? Weirdo.

The Jackson 5. BOOM!

Does this mean that now Trump is literally the Bane of our existence?

It’s called satire. I’ll admit it’s subtle, but try to keep up.

To make Mythopoetic Stew:

I’m sensing some personal grievances with the Romans my Etruscan friend.

It’s the VMAs, they don’t need to be. It’s pretty much C/D-list, with a handful of real stars sprinkled in, and several people who are merely having a Moment right now that’s just about over.

Well, how the hell do YOU do it?
