Why not all three AND they solve crimes?

And honestly, the worst Marvel movies are really just “meh” more than anything else. They haven’t made one that was actually bad yet, just a couple that were dull and/or a little incoherent, and easily forgettable.

Half Son of Man...

Hey, baby, is that a Xenomorph in your pocket or are you just happy t—OH MY GOD! AAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! gurgle.

Things I learned today: now that I’ve heard the Orson Welles “Frozen Peas” clip, I realize that not only is the Animaniacs sketch a nearly-verbatim satire, but it’s also pretty obviously the inspiration for the “Clem Fandango” gags in Toast of London.

The first transatlantic radio broadcast was in 1901. There were low-power radio broadcasts for approximately a quarter-century before that, but you’re right we can discount them as they weren’t powerful enough to escape the atmosphere. (Please note that when I wrote that comment back in 2012, I did qualify it with,…

Yeah, they’d have a helluva time proving it.

A criminal summons means she’s cited to court without an arrest warrant being issued.

You know it will be even better that that, right? Because she will absolutely be able to get guests at 2 a.m. in the morning, but the kind of guests she’ll be getting at 2 a.m. will really make it more like “NBC News Supermax Prison with Megyn Kelly.” C-list ex-celebrities hawking their rehab memoirs. UFOlogists with…

The thing about Attack of the Clones is that the awesome B-plot was saddled with the terrible and poorly acted A-plot. Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Missing Planet is the totally awesome Star Wars-meets-film noir-meets-wuxia nobody knew they wanted so badly. But then it keeps cutting back to Christensen and Portman doing…

I played along for awhile, realized that it was really boring and that I was basically doing a real-life version of MMORPG grinding, and couldn’t really tell what the points were good for anyway. So I stopped bothering.

Okay, I’ll give you that.

How many people at that show do you think empathized with that dude in that moment? Fewer than five? He had to know that. Further, he had to know he was putting himself at risk making that gesture in that environment.

I was going to post this old, apocryphal story, but the re-enactment of it in the ad you linked to serves just fine.

There’s some circumstantial evidence that the flight crew may have bounced the plane when the indicator light for the real door came on, turning his jump into a dump. Which wouldn’t have improved his chances of success any, if they did that.

One can rationally believe that customs enforcement is legitimate, that immigration enforcement* is legitimate, and that policing terrorism is legitimate, while also believing that ICE is a poorly-conceived and implemented tool for those functions and has become a rogue agency that should be disbanded and its…

It doesn’t help that they apparently think a joke is when somebody says something cruel about a minority or someone with a disability and then gets yelled at for it.

You omitted the Armenia that is a city in the sky.

That bit with Brody and his son is one of my favorite moments in the film. Thank you for reminding me of it.

Hooper’s surviaval is kinda weird and a little off... and yet that little moment between Dreyfus and Scheider where they’re clinging to the spar where Hooper says, “Quint” and Brody just shakes his head and merely says, “No,” and there’s that little moment of silence between them is so goddamn perfect and justifies…
