“We’re all for diversity and inclusion. That’s why we got rid of the egg in this salad emoji. What? Diverse hiring? Hey, have you seen this goat emoji?”

So wholesome! Good to see non-toxicity in the Melee community.

I can’t focus on space disasters right now. The New York Times just published another article about how much of San Francisco will liquefy in the next big earthquake, and given I prefer life, I’m plenty scared of Earth disasters at the time.

Okay, but where’s my Sgt. Rock and the Losers movie?

This is as good a time as ever to heartily recommend We Are X, the X Japan documentary that doesn’t require a background in X Japan to appreciate.

I can’t edit my post anymore but I wanted to correct myself because I found this very difficult to read article after trying to pull up the various compliments Neal Adams, J. Scott Campbell, et al had for Max Anderson.

This is extremely saddening and the level of alleged elder abuse and physical violence detailed in the linked article is horrifying.

A company I worked for once hired Thomas Middleditch to do some standup for their annual conference. Over the phone, he seemed friendly, funny and genial, walking his dog as we went over what would be interesting to the audience. My boss in particular was pretty jazzed about the whole thing, knowing that tech people…

I think this would have produced an alternately interesting and/or amusing conversation at Ye Olde AV Club, but I’m not 100% sure they produce the same kind of discussion here.

It sounds like I’ll have to reread this, but is it just me, or has some of BKV’s work aged a little poorly? And by some, I mean “Ex Machina.”

I hear “I’ve been living a lie / There’s nothing inside” is the actual translation of “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani.”

I’ve never seen The Passion of the Christ, but as a lapsed Protestant, I go to church once a year, on Easter ... and inevitably, they’ll project scenes from the film will on a huge screen behind the worship band. I assume the film is just 2 hours of that.

Aaaaah, I see now. I saw the “Mars” part and got confused. Sorry about that.

Ave, o amici, who probably also gets annoyed when people pronounce Latin wrong in TV and movies, to everyone else rolling their eyes :)

I mean, if we want to be pedantic, classical Latin only ever had a hard C. Source: got a LOT of C’s in Latin before getting a B

Sonny Liew is downright amazing. The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye is one of my all-time faves. Always nice to see him doing some off-beat cape work.

Yeah, but will it teach me how to date Natalie Dormer?

On the final episode of Rebels Recon, Filoni all but confirms Ezra and Thrawn’s survival (starts 7:28):

I hear I’m in the minority on this one, but Star Wars Rebels hooked me in a way Clone Wars never did, though admittedly that’s because I was never too partial to Anakin, Obi-Wan and the shenanigans of the Galactic Republic. (Ahsoka, on the other hand, I loved and was glad to see in this show.)

Yeah, taking out Rukh would have definitely solved a lot of other problems (and, possibly, deaths-by-Rukh). It’s a weird moral quandary that I hardly remember any other Star Wars character having in the films, and it’s not the first time it’s come up, either.
