First off, Bernie Sanders yells everything. He even yells “HELLO!” at his staff when they come in each morning. So good luck with that, Ryan.

Second, John Delaney clearly lost a bet that requires him to run for president. He’s only marginally more likely to be elected than John Hickenlooper, but even I have a better…

Please tell me you at least watched it while sitting on the toilet, in that case.

The Shallows is better than either of them, although still not anywhere close to Jaws. And not just because Blake Lively is a bikini for 95 percent of the movie.

Still better than the directors cut of Aliens.

I remember the scene where a shark swam backwards and crossed my arms in irritation. (I make no apologies for what sort of nerd I am.) And then Jackson’s speech happened and joy returned to the universe.

If you do a D&D movie, you’re going to either let Felicia Day be in it or have to have security on constant guard to keep her from breaking onto the set and photobombing every scene instead.

You work for those Impossible Burger monsters, don’t you? Blink twice for “yes.”

Please just make the second and third seasons available to purchase via iTunes, where I bought the first, so I don’t have to figure out WTF a VRV is.

Too soon, Modusoperandi. Too soon.

Because the sales of those books are dropping precipitously and a genre-specific award hasn’t been given out since 2008 or 2009.

I’m wondering if this was an old idea Joss had sitting around somewhere and dragged it out after his other pitches didn’t generate enough interest.

Either someone at HBO or Joss Whedon, or both, has been reading a lot of fucking paranormal romance novels.

Which means this would have been a giant hit 10 to 15 years ago. Not sure how it’ll do today.

Kids are also remixing the hell out of it and making tons of videos with it on YouTube and TikTok. (My two kids are obsessed with it as a result.) It’s a perfect storm of a good-to-goodish song, technology and a great story.

So ... how will you know it’s Gossip Girl and not just another teen soap about rich kids? (In other words, all of them.)

Several of the actors did a good job of conveying character with the seemingly simple act of kneeling. Captain America looks ready to fall over, for instance, while Nebula slides down cleanly and smoothly, as fits someone who’s largely mechanical.

If you create the book for someone else, and they own the rights -- even if, in theory, you’ll get the rights back under certain conditions -- it’s work for hire.

I work for hire for a living.

There’s a reason you don’t see a bunch of other creators acting like Moore: It’s a ridiculous stance that no one else is…

Among those deeper ideas: “I bet Dorothy Gale would be great in the sack.”

Given what a big seller it is -- it’s even taught at a number of colleges, meaning a need to have a supply of paperbacks always in print -- I don’t think there’s a reminder needed.

As I recall, they were going to pay him for Beyond Watchmen, or whatever they called that book, and Moore was going to give the money to homeless shamans or some shit instead of taking it. I suspect he contractually gets a piece of all subsidiary works.

I’ve worked for hire. Even if you have a ton of control over what the end product looks like, it’s not your work. An established professional, which is what Moore was by the point he negotiated his Watchmen contract, knows that.

Him being precious over what happens with Watchmen is ridiculous — far worse has been done…
