For clarity: I actually am still a fan of Pratt and don’t much care what he is like irl. But I also don’t post on Twitter. So I could understand how, like Rowling, association has put a bad taste in people’s mouth

Tbh I love Prometheus. This is probably not what Scott was going for, but I like the idea that the blue-collar space truckers in Alien were better decision makers in the lurch than the scientists in Prometheus. (Having a PhD does not actually make someone any less of an idiot in those parts of life not related to…

“People need to fear selling out, again.”

Man I couldn’t disagree more. Last Jedi opened up a whole new line of possibilities for Star Wars, that there was something other than the light/dark dichotomy and the Jedi way was not infallible. Luke finding his own way to the Force but ultimately becoming one with it (just like Yoda and Obi-Wan) while questioning…

Which is odd given the fact that his only other voice acting gig I can recall he’s great at. 

As someone who gives no shits whatsoever regarding the source material, this was a pretty great season.  Properly epic all the way around, well-acted and told, and most of the ‘subplots’ were pretty interesting and well-handled.  Final episode gets knocked down a full grade for having no dwarves, but aside from that…

I’ve really enjoyed She-Hulk so far. It’s exactly the kind of fun I’m looking for in this. I’m a big fan of the Byrne and Slott eras of the character and this taps into the things I like about those runs.

I actually liked this one! I agree with the reviewer about Madisynn. She starts off a little eye-rolling, but strangely becomes more endearing as she continues to appear. There’s more to her than meets the eye, because the way she rolls with everything makes her good-natured, and, as a result, she’s ‘fun’ in a way I…

Found one!

You can’t explain how scary it is to be a woman walking alone at night unless you’ve been a woman walking alone at night, and there’s a particular kind of terror involved as a woman being attacked by a man or group of men. A guy gets jumped by a guy in an alley, his first concern is the other guy is going to steal his…

i have no problem calling out women. historically, it has been women like rowling who wanted to exclude anyone who wasn’t like them in the name of ‘concern’ or ‘women’s rights.’ it wasn’t too long ago when lesbians - butch lesbians in particular - were the so-called predators that would ruin feminism and assault the…

Call people out on their bad takes. Reason with the unreasonable, even if it feels like going up against a brick wall. And the occasional fuck off is fine.

Something I just realized after finishing this episode: Jimmy is always at his most vengeful when people attempt to hold themselves accountable. Note how his true rage at Howard started when Howard confessed that he felt responsible for Chuck’s death. When Kim comes in to sign the divorce settlement, his performance…

I like the idea of the other Gods just not getting Jesus at all.

I never understood the group consensus that Chris Pratt represents some specific Evangelical evil. It sounds like his church operates that way at an organizational level, but HE strikes me as a kind of “apolitical centrist” type: complacent with his privilege (which certainly sucks, to be fair), but not actively…

Is she a Royal Watcher like Byron Dennison?

Absolutely terrifying and depressing to read the comments here and see so little compassion for farmed animals. This documentary doesn’t even feature an animal living on a particularly bad farm, yet its life is still characterized by suffering. You may care more about people in Ukraine dying or about your tasty…

A premise roughly 100x more interesting than “what if James Bond, but woman?”
