Right, that’s what I’m getting at. VALERIAN predates all of them.

Oh man, I laughed til I cried at the werewolf (lizard) one this past Monday. Who doesn’t love Rhys Darby telling a crazy story?

SLEEPY HOLLOW needs to fire the new showrunner and most of the writing staff. Keep Joe Webb and Heather Regnier — they’re produced the only two quality scripts so far. Give us a dream sequence a la Pam Ewing — its as plausible as anything else that’s happened in that universe — and retcon out this season and most of…

Still can’t understand what would possess a network to deliberately destroy a ratings goldmine like that. This show came out swinging and didn’t let up for the entirety of S1. The sank it with S2, then “reinvented” it for S3 — except that the entire fanbase simply said “bring it back to the S1 storyline and vibe”. Why…

I submit that the influence runs in the other direction.

I didn’t suggest they were magical beings. I suggested they can recognize that a swimmer needs their flippers to be in working order.

AU REVOIR, LES ENFANTS - the boys lined up in the schooyard, watching the SS march their beloved headmaster Pere Jean and three of their schoolmates off to their deaths. The last shot of Julien (a stand-in for the young Truffaut, whose story this was), and his face as he sees his best friend walking away with an SS…

Scully’s immortality isn’t a fan-theory, its a callback to “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose” where he tells her exactly that. His “gift” is to know how people die — Scully asks how she dies, he responds “you don’t.”

*shrug* That was your analogy. I abstracted it out.

“Don’t leave your house unlocked, because people are shitty.”

It is possible for these two things to be true at the same time:

The two lads from the Russian short animation that’s currently up for an Oscar, “We Can’t Live Without Cosmos”. I cried like a small child by the end of it. Oh my god. Here’s the trailer (I think the whole thing clocks in at like 11 minutes or something.)

My advice is to open an online savings account (I use Capital One, formerly ING Bank) and have a chunk of your paycheck automatically deposited there. It takes three days for a transfer to your local checking to settle, so its money you can’t easily get your hands on, and if you deduct it automatically, you basically…

Or simply that women are aware that their underpants will show if they wear a miniskirt while seated, and don’t want everyone to see their drawers.

Oop, my bad. For some reason I thought burden of proof was the inverse of the US. Corrected!

That’s because, at least observationally, white dudes are easily the craziest people around.

Oh that old chestnut. That’s a legal declaration that states that the burden of proof is on the prosecutor to prove guilt rather than the accused to prove innocence (which is the case in the UK.) That has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the person *actually* committed the crime. All it does is define the…

He has a mugshot.

I find the timbre of the voices of the two lead actors really distracting and unlistenable, which has stopped me from even making it through one episode. I don’t know what it is, its like they turned up the bass or something.

Nah kid. There’s a vid somewhere of a press tour they all did for Thor, and he’s sitting next to Kat Denning (who is an ex of his) and there is clip where his eyes just zoooooom in on her breasts. He was probably remembering having seen them unclothed but it was fairly obvious and kind of hilarious because I’m sure he…
