And I thought I was gonna have to be the pedantic one here and say it.

He’s doing it wrong. You gotta bash in the brains or that horse is gonna come back. 

Hey stop beating the moose!

Always a good time to dust this off:

At some point the materials do have to come off the trains and delivered to factories or other facilities. The electric truck would still be useful.

How about instead of these Trucks we have a all electric zero emissions way of moving freight that is far more efficient than trucking?

To answer your question: “I didn’t know how to handle it. I didn’t know how to come up with something funny to say. My public persona muscle wasn’t strong yet.”

I thought this was going to be about Letterman being a dick, but I stead 8ts just a celebrity"s bruised ego. 

Really had my hopes up for that new adaptation of The Stand, but that shit the bed pretty hard and pretty early; nothing at all to do with the casting, but the story structure, the abandoned main characters, and the woeful misinterpretation of the Vegas society did it in for me. Also the weird decision to deify the US…

it’s hard not to imagine the Dark Tower brand might just be permanently tainted at this point, especially because any sufficiently expansive version of the books would, by necessity, also have to be pretty damn expensive.

Dear Mr. President of Comics,

This season is so little rooted in anything of the Tolkien I’ve read that I don’t think rereading anything will make a big difference in your enjoyment of the show.

Well, you’ll certainly have the time? Be forewarned that this isn’t a show that rewards your having done the reading, though.

Well, they’ve already blown past it, but there’s a version in the Silmarillion you could work with if you wanted to, where Sauron’s sufficiently regretful after the War of Wrath to ask forgiveness of the gods, but not enough to face punishment. So he stays in Middle-Earth and ostensibly means well, but the Elves never…

It’ll be amazing if the wizard spends the next season or two saying a bunch more Gandalf lines, but then turns out to be Saruman.

Disseminating hyperbolic stories about people passing out during horror movies or posting “doctors” by the auditorium for distressed audiences is an age-old hype technique. And judging by the ages and tweet history of some of these “fans…” this is just another iteration of the same thing.

Spines are overrated.

He’s recently negatively compared reading books to eating Brussels sprouts.

This looks really fun. I really like it when a horror movie can toe that line of comedy. 

Yeah, I had a blast with it. It’s goofy but also has great spooky flavor to it. I laughed out loud at the idea of a ghost/zombie choking someone out just to put their finger up their nose.
