I'm reading Creature From the Black Lagoon: Time's Black Lagoon, which bounces back and forth between kind-of-pulpy fun to eye-rolling nonsense. It leans pretty heavy on one of my least favorite sci-fi tropes, the ironic near-future prediction. Written in 2005 and set in 2015, CRTBL:TBL is full of cutesy little…

I'm kind of amazed by this. I mean, it seems like a direct response to Foodfight!, but why would anyone feel the need to take the piss out of Foodfight! when the universe has so thoroughly done it already? There are far too many funny people for it not to be funny, but it looks like it's really not funny. So many…

I was kind of surprised that evangelicals didn't come out in droves for the-story-of-Easter-as-cop-movie "Risen."

I just finished Vonnegut's Timequake last night, which is a wonderful bouillabaisse of humanist ideas, but not much of a novel. If I wasn't so in tune with what he was saying, I probably would have found it redundant in the face of Cat's Cradle or God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. I am following this experience with a…

"Kids say and do the the darndest things—none of them entertaining." Take THAT, small children!

A lot of people had been waiting 30 years for that movie, so putting a trailer where the entire joke is making the audience impatient seemed a bit like a troll to me. Maybe not, though.

I have to admire the balls on Disney for putting the sloth trailer in front of Star Wars on opening night.

"Writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (The Last Witch Hunter, Dracula Untold)…"

BoyItellyouwhuttalkinboutdatdangol, huh?

Yeah, but Jordan didn't play for the Wizards for like 23 seasons.

Aw man, Lucky was great. "I'm a self-made man." "Really?" "Yup. Slipped on pee-pee at the Costco."

I loved Octavio calling Hank "New Gribble."
