It should always be noted when Trump is credited with a respectful tweet, he didn’t write it.  Not a single spelling mistake, random capitalization, nor self-congratulation to be found.

That statement was so off-mark I had to log into stupid Kinja to upvote  someone calling it out.

As a white person seeing that scene describing what the Indians would do, I thought about Japan in World War II. When Americans were landing in Okinawa, the soldiers told the local villagers a variation on that and there were mass suicides. The truth is that the American soldiers did very little raping, in a…

While the studio blamed FF on Trank, and Trank blamed the studio, I remember some of the actors sticking up for him after the release.  I can’t recall any actors blaming him for its many faults.

I lack the necessary amount of fuck offs to give this company founder.

It’s gotta be said: Secret Wars was not an alternate universe, it was a planet built by the Beyonder from patches of other planets.

As a white dude, the topic of white privilege always pains me... because I lived it and A) I wish all people had such charmed lives, and B) there is a guilt that I’m doing fine with such a lazy attitude while others worked so hard and have little to show for it.

This is Fall of Rome level garbage.  Trump’s election was a symptom, this nomination is an amputation.  America might recover, fingers crossed, but this current process clearly shows how broken the system is, with no desire to fix itself.

1) Scott Adams is not a great cartoonist. He’s a competent one that wrote the right topic at the right time. Bill Watterson is a great cartoonist.

There’s one more reference left out (someone already posted that Wilson was portraying Knowles): the Gyllenhaal taking over thing was a reference to Spider-Man 2. Macguire was hurt in the making of Seabiscuit (I think), and threatened to postpone making the movie, so Gyllenhaal was strongly rumored/possibly cast. …

I went into this with zero expectations. I meh’ed X-Men, grudgingly loved Spider-Man 1 & 2 (they have problems, but did so much right!). But I was not even aware they were rebooting Batman till this was released. I thought this was incredible when I saw it, I especially liked Cilian Murphy’s Scarecrow, who I…

I only watched it on my phone, so maybe it’ll look better on an iPad, but...

Can you work in a gif somewhere of Trump pretending to shovel coal?  By no means is he responsible for this, but he is proudly rolling back policies meant to stabilize climate change.  Nobody deserves to suffer or lose their homes, but, you know, if I had to choose a red or blue state in a case like this...

“fuckshit”  I like the Root for many reasons, but new kinds of cursing is the guilty pleasure one.

There are still weekly scans.  It’s hard to be nostalgic over stuff that’s still in full bloom.

Just for the record, in Japan, that gesture means “money”, especially among those without.  Kind of like how how rubbing your thumb on your index and middle finger does in the West.  It has nothing to do with the trolling this lady was doing, but the more you know...

I give him a pass because he has such a long history with Hardwick. I listened to Nerdust ten years back. I moved on a long time ago for many reasons, probably #1 was WTF was fulfilling the same role in my podcasts. Anyway, there was an episode where Hardwick was talking about Wheaton, and they were roommates (I…

Well, points to Rubio for making a possibly unintended pun by calling Gosling’s statements about the moon landing “lunacy”. Does Rubio have the playfulness to manage word-play?

I like your ideas here, but I think half of the reason these superhero movies (comics are much more tha superheroes, for the record) is simply that they can be well made today. If CGI had been well-developed two decades earlier, I think Marvel style movies would have been popular decades earlier. Superhero comics are…

First Class is the best for me, it’s hard to say why. But I was an X-fan since 1985, and the Singer movies were all a sort of dress-up for me; the Nightcrawler White House scene is gorgeous, but the tattooed paranoid religious Nightcrawler wasn’t the swashbuckler I loved as a kid. First Class was the first X-film…
