And just like that illegal pirating is taking a rise again. Spotify proved that if you offer everything for a decent sum people will stop downloading illegal shit. Too bad movie and TV series people don’t seem to get it and all want their own service.

And the ones that are have to have Stranger Things hype or they get the axe before they’ve found their groove and an audience.

“Netflix says the company will just replace the shows we watch with new shows. Problem solved”

the rerun you’re probably half-watching right now while you second screen

I don’t know. Watching the first hour of this movie, it shows the kind of movie it would be if it took the Last Jedi route, and man that movie looks good.

Gimme five Wasps for a quarter!

What a bulletproof legal system we have. 

There have been a lot of studies about how changes in a judge’s life or mood will affect their rulings. For instance, right after a snack a judge is vastly more likely to lenient. It’s almost certainly the same for movie reviewers. I wonder if you were hungry or having a bad day the first time you watched it.

Turns out the real infinity stones were the friends we made along the way. 

Great Lakes Avengers.

If this movie doesn't have some sort of... non giving up... school guy, I'll be disappointed.

That’s probably at the bottom of my list for why this is currently a fascinating/horrifying time to be alive, below even Moon Pie.

Went to medical school at a Jewish school. The library would close at sundown on Friday with this whole elaborate locking of all of the doors including anyone inside. Obviously they opened to let us out but there was no reasonable way to prop open the door to let people back in unless there was someone inside to open…

Damn that is a great anecdote to use in a columbo-style mystery. “I noticed the victim had air conditioning on in their apartment despite it being on Shabbat, and you’re the only person in this building that isn’t an Orthodox Jew. Do you ever help out your neighbors turn on and off appliances?”

My dad was in a hospital on the east side years ago and I went to visit him on a Saturday. When I got to the elevator bank there was one elevator just waiting there with the door already open. There was a sign on the wall that said “Sabbath Elevator” or something. I had no idea what this meant, but not one to look a…

Beating elicits beating.

I don’t need to look down the posts to see people dragging out the same tired defense of “Oh but she/he didn’t mean it that way, so it’s not bad. People need to lighten” up bullshit that always tells me that I have to give people the benefit of the doubt at all times—even when they’re doing something so horrendously…

Buncha damn ignorant people in this world [or claim] not knowing about blackface, and that’s their excuse. It’s all over the internet people, the choice was made, it’s the wrong choice. She didn’t go to jail, but learned a lesson via ban from it. Life will go on for her, and she might even take a second thought at…

I’ve long thought of going as MCU Nick Fury. Not because I love the character (I do) but I’m bald and it’s easy. Eyepatch. Pistol. Trenchcoat. Distrustful attitude.
