Holy shit holy shit holy shit I’ve been saying for years I want the first shot of Dark Tower to be the horn on his belt signifying that the movie is the next cycle and not a pure adaptation and HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT THE HORN GUYS! THE HORN!

Just gals being pals.

Yup! Not a single glorious fuck was given by Larry. And the best part was that Obama seemed to really enjoy it. Maybe minus the drone bit - but alas, that was fully deserved.

It makes a lot more sense when you consider that Cap’s shield could stop a tank shell or a hit from Mjolnir. You want the shield to practically beg to be hit to stop people from just taking aim at your face.

waitaminnit . . . under what context do you usually say: “you’re going to die tomorrow”?

I once was trying to remember the name of a common garden plant and was coming up empty; then an image of another plant popped into my head - a plant in same genus, but appearance wise is completely different, but that triggered a memory of the name.

I get the impression that those are the same people who were fine with Superman being grim/dark/gritty. Ignore those people.

The reasoning behind Fett’s popularity is a fascinating look at the Star Wars fandom, and fandom as a whole.

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the third one, and I can get behind the statement that Resurrection was too blockbuster-y in a negative sense, but I obviously disagree that it’s garbage. The distinct visual style and Darius Khondji’s cinematography alone make it a far better movie than garbage fires…

I don’t get the hate for Alien³ (yes, I enjoy writing it that way because I’m a massive dork) and Resurrection. All 4 Alien movies were made by a different director, and it totally shows - they’re 4 takes on a similar story. I find the visual differences and styles alone very fascinating.

Well yeah, I’m not actively taking him to task for it, and I don’t think Martin, Jordan etc are either. But when you do interrogate it, there are inevitably some aspects that end up being problematic and it’s worth investigating these problems through later works - we wouldn’t be building and growing as a literary…

If anything I wish headlines would give spoiler alerts. Can’t look anywhere without seeing some walking dead spoiler headline

I hear you, though it would also be sort of funny to discover that “Many Bothans died,” is simply a colloquial expression for something taking a long time because it turns out Bothans only have a 48-hour lifespan or something.

Mon Mothma! Classic Star Destroyers! Rebel pilots! Royal Guards! AT-ATs!

I know this joke has already been made a dozen times today, but I’m still starring every one.

Return of the Jedi? Still surprised when that happens to people nowadays... :)

Jon Travolta as Ewok?

The fact that so many fans say they’d revolt if Daryl is killed is exactly why, if I were them, I would kill him off.

So reanimated corpses overrunning the earth and eating people is plausible, but gasoline having a longer shelf life is where you draw the line? LOL
