And because Avi Arad has a strange obsession with Venom the Sinister Six; way more so than any adult man with a moderate amount of influence in the movie industry should have.

Movie meme references peaked at the post-credits of Spider-Verse; anything else is pure cringe.

I imagine, if in the slim chance a sequel does get greenlit, Jared Leto will not sign off, cuz he’ll be absolutely PISSED that it’s only to embrace the memes, and the people making fun of him. He doesn’t strike me as one with a self-deprecating sense of humor.

lol I admit I did momentarily forget that Spartans are very hard to kill. Although they do a good job at reminding us that that’s not always the case. I’m mighty impressed that Riz survived a plasma grenade detonation. That certainly never happens in the games! lol

Yeah I was surprised at how sad I was thinking she died! This whole season has been me being surprised at how invested I am lol. Like I kind of wanted to write it off, but it has a lot going for it! A strong narrative drive (even if we now have no idea where that narrative will lead), excellent production design,…

They did an amazing job making the Spartans both superhuman and vulnerable. And I’ll be damned if Spartans dropping from orbit will ever stop being cool lmao

I was at least mildly engaged during her last episode, cuz she finally started doing something besides complain lol

Very well-written! You’ve summed up my thoughts about the show pretty well. It could occasionally be quite ham-fisted, especially when talking about the UNSC’s warcrimes, but it had a clear narrative drive, and exciting things happened, between all the artifact-gazing of course lol. There was one moment of really…

lol I liked the 1st season, and am still of the opinion that story should have ended at the finale. The 2nd season seemed like more of the same

The Ready Player One movie made me officially sick of pop-culture references

They do have to know that’s off-putting right? If they’re so customer-oriented, which they clearly seem to be, he should leave a note in the survey he’ll receive lmfao

An incredibly dark turn of revenge for a family torn apart on one side, just another sale on the other lol

I love it; he just skates by obliviously on how little people actually care about catching him lmfao

That’s how I first read it, but this review is reminding me of the context from the past seasons. Maybe Earn *is becoming a better manager, but Al is still clearly hung up on what exactly their relationship is. Lines have gotten very blurry; does Earn actually care about Al, or is he just being a good manager?

He should just permanently move there lol

I’m struck by how, even though I like the characters, they don’t seem to like *each other* all that much. Darius did say “no matter what, know that I love you,” but his refusal to pay for shit (which, he is definitely mooching off of Al’s success) speaks otherwise. Also, all of Earn’s concerns at the end could just be…

This episode reminds me of a time I was studying abroad in Argentina. I walked halfway across the city, was supposed to meet up with a girl, she called and cancelled, so I rather morosely looked around, and went into a nearby art museum. It was a strange layout; it was L-shaped, with the exhibits on a slanted walkway…

Here’s an interesting, if long, video on the subject of transphobia in pop culture, and how handwaving often happens by saying “oh they’re not really trans, they’re just freakish men.” It doesn’t do *anything to diminish the fact that many people forget that handwaving entirely, and when they think of trans people,…

She had an essay on how she has trans friends, but maybe we should stop and inspect people’s genitals before letting them into bathrooms. I’m being facetious, of course, but she says “when you throw open the bathroom to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman, then you throw open the door to any and all men who…

Same here! This is peak schaudenfreude for me lol. I like to think her transphobic nonsense has made some stay away from this movie.
