The broadcast-friendly line was funnier.

Everyone looks so similar that I honestly thought these were just stills from the first movie floating around social media pretending to be sequel news.

“Ock, noo! An aister-oid! Domn it! Git me to a telefoon! I hafta coll mah pahrints in Kleeveland, where I am froom!” ~ John Garrity (Gerard Butler), Greenlant

When Lucas wrote Yoda’s line “luminous beings are we, not this crude matter” could that be any more accurate for anyone other than Carrie?

Sometimes I’m gobsmacked how beautiful Carrie Fisher was, a vintage screen beauty. Goosebumps watching them direct her giving orders to the pilots for the evacuation. 

I’ll recommend Maria Dahvana Headley’s translation of Beowulf. Sometimes (as with Seamus Heaney’s translation) it gets a bit carried away with its semi-ironic use of modern vernacular, but it brings the energy back to a poem that’s always been translated badly. Beowulf is *fun* and this version never forgets that.…

Do yourself a favor and don’t look into the author’s politics.

I got my friend a Jose Canseco cameo for his birthday and he just ranted about losing a softball tournament. It was great.

Just rewatched it a couple of weeks ago, and can totally second that motion. It’s crazy how much of the movie is sold on the effortless-looking chemistry between Clooney and Pitt. My favorite scene is Clooney talking himself into recruiting an eleventh member while Pitt sits slumped over the bar, looking at nothing,…

Ocean’s 11 holds up like a motherfucker. It’s just so effortless and charming and silly.

Now playing at the Stark Theatre: Fiddler on the Roof!

Future historians are gonna lose their goddamn minds when they realize that Fury Road was written, cast, costumed, storyboarded, filmed and released all before Donald Trump declared his candidacy for president.

It’s one of my favorites, and Stephenson’s a good enough wordsmith that I’ll keep reading through his multi-page treatises that are only tangentially related to the plot.

Wade’s younger step-brother, a fan of 2000's pop-culture, also known as a “Blartie”.

“I recognized this game. It was called Galaga, originally published in 1981. It involved shooting down hordes of aliens inside a space ship. I had a pretty high score, but not as high as the high scores I had in games like Missile Code, Defender, Centipede, and Asteroids Deluxe, which are also arcade games originally…

This exactly. They’ve started covering the book on the 372 Pages We’ll Never Get Back podcast, and the bits they read verbatim are just jaw-droppingly awful. Like junior high-level writing. How on earth did Cline get published?

I don’t think the complaint of the first book was that it was about Cline’s interests, but that he didn’t synthesize something new out of those interests and fell back on pure reference of them. It was like reading “Family Guy: The Novel”

Or, to put it better:

Art3mis, who dumps him after just 10 days

The only show Mickey Rourke’s ever been on that got a 10.2 was when he threw Jenna Maroney on the field during the Super Bowl.
