The thing I’m scared about is that the racial dynamics will be exactly the same as they were in the original Ghostbusters: the three white people will be highly educated, Ivy League professors, and the black person on the team will be someone who just walked off the street looking for a job, and is a borderline jive…

Also worth noting: after the game, he went and saw the kid again and gave him the sneakers he had just played in.

To be fair, damn near every Mark Millar comic is hot garbage.

Honestly, I had no idea who Saint West was either until someone sent me this article thinking I’d laugh. I knew Kim had a kid, but I had no idea what the kid’s name was. I also had no idea Kim and Kanye were in a relationship until after she had their first kid.

“Sounds like some opinion from a nerd’s blog.”

Exactly! That’s absurd!

When I saw the trailer, and Clark says to Pa Kent “What was I supposed to do, let them drown?” and Pa Kent says “Maybe,” I decided I wasn’t going to see the film. I did eventually, and it was every bit as awful as I thought it would be. Nearly everything about Pa Kent is wrong and disturbing.

For what it’s worth, Nolan was opposed to the idea of Superman killing Zod, but he got overruled. Apparently that was too dark even for him. And I while superhero films definitely did get darker because of his trilogy, I don’t hold it against him, in the same way that I don’t think it’s Alan Moore and Frank Miller’s…

Batman Begins is an overrated movie in general, but the third act is hilariously dumb. Batman looking at Ra’s and saying “but I don’t have to save you” completely misses the point of Batman, in the same way that Superman snapping Zod’s neck does.

“it’s hard to imagine any team refusing to follow through and choosing a very stupid hill to die on.”

The security is going to “some” private schools. Some.

And each one would feature the word “thug”.

It is stunning to me that people would rather eat at Chipotle than go to an actual Mexican restaurant. People in California who eat Chipotle make even less sense than people in New York or Chicago who eat Dominoes and Pizza Hut. At least Dominoes is cheap. Chipotle is bland AND expensive. What is wrong with people?

“He got it exactly backwards” more or less sums up all of his comic book adaptations. Man of Steel willfully and arrogantly misses the point of Superman.

You might as well just come out and say “Any place that isn’t overrun by obnoxious young white people is a terrible place to be,” because that’s more or less what you’re saying.

That scene isn’t the least bit awkward in the comic. It’s incredibly awkward the first time they try to hook up, on his couch, and you discover he’s impotent. But when they have sex in the Owlship it happens because, as you said, he finally admits to himself that he gets off on being Night Owl. It goes from being…

Like you said, Jackson is a great motivator, and he really built Steph up (when Jackson first called him and Klay the best backcourt in the league, people laughed).

What? I said either Kobe or Jerry West is the second best shooting guard ever. The word “second” is right there.

The one thing I’ll disagree with is the notion that he just “took it on the chin” while they sucked. He demanded the Lakers trade Shaq, who then went on to win another title almost immediately. And when the Lakers started struggling, he demanded they trade him too.

Someone pointed this out to me last night: In his 20 year career, Kobe Bryant only ever shot better than 50% on two point shots once. For some perspective, Jordan did it nine times (and would have done it more were it not for the early retirements), and LeBron has done it 11 times in a row and counting (and cracked…
