DJ Khaled is so far into dad music (thanks, Jezebel!) territory that even my flac files of LCD Soundsystem were like, “Hey, who’s that old guy and why is he pestering those poor Overwatch children?”

If nothing else, we agree that all the CW super hero costumes look terrible. Except Supergirl, I guess. I still can’t sit through the actual show, but seeing pictures of Melissa Benoist in her costume doesn’t make me cringe.

I’m not your buddy, kid.

I don’t think they should have focused less on Piper and Vause, I enjoyed the time with both of them this season. I do think, though, that OitNB has way too many characters, or at least more characters than this particular team of writers is capable of juggling. (I’m sure David Milch could wrangle twice this many

I was doing something very similar with the Netflix Marvel shows, before I abandoned most of them entirely, although I was starting with the final episode of the season, not the last 15 minutes.

Oh, yeah, thank you. I am the first to admit that I am often sketchy with names in these shows that arrange such sprawling ensemble casts. That’s an interesting idea about Dixon coming out. I thought they were probably setting up a triangle of some kind, where Pennsatucky realizes she likes Dixon better than Coats,

I don’t think that’s a fair criticism. While I don’t agree with Myles’ take on everything in the show, his reviews of it have been thoughtful and sincere and couched in knowledge of the show’s history, which is about all you can ask for in a form of writing as subjective as television reviews.

My favorite part of this season is that they’ve finally made Piper fun again. She’s been categorically insufferable for so long, I’d almost forgotten why I liked her in the original season.

I was actually impressed that they were willing to do a relationship as realistic as Pennsatucky and Dixon, but I’m guessing I’ve known a lot more horribly abused people who end up in bizarre relationships that make no sense to outsiders than most of the OitNB audience, or most people, for that matter. Definitely

If The Defenders is dead, as it apparently is, and all these characters are not heading back towards a big team up, then I am done with everything but Daredevil. And I’m only keeping that because I know I’ll get more of Vincent D’Onofrio as Fisk if I stick with it. (If they somehow manage to turn Jessica Jones around,

The problem with poor costume designs in 2018 is that now the cosplay people are constantly showing up with stuff they made in their garage that looks better than anything the movie people are doing. It’s very hard (and pretty stupid) to be forgiving of poor costumes on a multi-million dollar Netflix production when

Good luck to them on finding someone as talented as James Purefoy to salvage their poorly written dialog and turn it into watchable scenes. I mean, I liked the first season just enough to come back and give the second one a try, but it is a narrow, narrow margin. I don’t think I could have made it through the first

Congrats to London Spitfire on being the one team in these final games who actually looked like they belonged in the final games. I can’t help feeling like this would have been a better ending if London had faced NYXL or the Valiant. Instead it was like that ancient Monty Python skit where John Cleese beats up the

I’ve got to admit, I’m having a tough time with this season of OitNB. Between seasons 5 and 6, I found Wentworth, and now that I’m also on the sixth season of a well written show about women’s prison, it’s making Orange and all of Kohan’s exhausting, self indulgent nonsense very difficult to enjoy. (Just like with

I think that’s probably great news. It’s a good show, but I liked the all the episodes where someone else got the writing credit better than the ones Waller-Bridge herself wrote. She’s a comedienne at heart, and she spends a little bit too much time trying to be cute and clever, at the expense of believable, organic

Wow, that video is pretty cool. If this ends up being something closer to a real game than the previous Labo stuff, that is going right on my Christmas list.

Super funny article! That sounds more goofy than exciting, but I still feel like I should buy it, just to encourage Nintendo to have more adult games on the Switch.

Jesus Christ, Game Companies, just sell stuff directly. Fortnite sells everything directly, rather than in dumb loot boxes, and they’re making more money than the rest of you put together. The argument that loot boxes make more money than direct sales is as fallacious as it is manipulative. If your content is decent,

Sorry, but without Murray and Mel, it’s like half of a Flight of the Conchords special, at best. Oh well.

The problem with making one movie per book is that it tricks people into thinking a movie and a book are comparable amounts of story telling, when in fact, a movie is the equivalent of the average short story.
