One of the big risks for landlocked nations with navies is that the captains have so little to do that they end up being rigid martinets to their kids and then fall for the forbidden fruit represented by the perky, mischievous governesses hired straight out of local religious orders. Inevitably you see marriage…

I finished Patrick Rothfuss’s Kingkiller Chronicle books over the course of the last two weeks. Thank you, Kindle, and I enjoyed them. The first, Name of the Wind, is absolutely the better of the two, but they’re easy reads both. Sure, Kvothe is...at his worst, a complete power fantasy of a character, but I was…

You don’t meet people with names like Mort anymore. Soon it’ll be one of those odd, obsolete names like Aethelred or Millard or Donald.

Crystal skull was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

It’s so weird how the writers here are still desperately trying to convince people that only a few people didn’t like The Last Jedi and 95% of them are sexist and racist. Like, it’s cool you loved the movie. I’m happy for you. Why can’t you just let other people not like it as much as you?

Indy’s trials and tribulations as the Archaeology Department Chairman at a USC campus circa 1968. All the students want to do is hook up, get high and avoid the draft, nobody is interested in class or adventures.

I love that we can’t criticize Disney’s assembly line of Star Wars(tm) products without being lumped in with idiot misogynists. Oh wait, actually I hate that.

That would still make…

“Franco’s Sex Scenes class”

So...you’re saying you’ve never seen anything from Crazy Ex Girlfriend? I agree the Bill Nye rap was very unfunny and badly done, but you have to see the problem in judging her show based off something she did in a completely unrelated show?

Maybe it seems a little facile, but like... they just collect reviews. If studios were so petrified of their garbage getting bad reviews, maybe they should start actually giving a damn about their product.

Agree. Korg’s best line was, “Piss off, Ghost!” and his worst was the “foundation” speech and its reversal while Asgard blew up.

He needs this job in order to buy a comb.

Every time I hear Midge’s name mentioned I can’t help but think of Moe calling Marge that in The Simpsons, and it makes the show even funnier!

I’m torn on this, because one of the things I liked about the original was how bright and colorful it was. 

Only one of the six Animorphs survives the series, so...
