Two points: First, no one called it a shelf of light bulbs. Just light bulbs on a shelf. This is relevant because the first suggests only bulbs on that shelf, the second leaves it open for other items. Second, in this analogy a “lamp” (which is assumed to be multi-bulbed) is referring to a group, or rap collective,…

Yeah I did a three day trip between the two California parks this year and I think I had two decent meals the whole time, a reasonable sandwich and sides at the Pym Labs and a really good salad at Smokejumpers, both in California Adventure.  Everything I ate at Disneyland tasted like cafeteria food.  Dry burgs, pizza…

No one ever said it was a shelf of light bulbs for sale in package. It’s a shelf covered in display lamps.

I’ve seen it.  It’s pretty damn Nolan-y.  I’m awarding them permission to continue generalizing.  Carry on!

Which is largely going to be irrelevant because here’s a fun little nugget of detail about SDCC: It sells out in like six hours every year, and tickets go on sale slightly after the previous comic con ended. This one has been sold out for months. Oh and the badges are non-refundable after some date in May. Even if…

Did she try telling him she was in Sea Org?

Actual fans is a little reductive.  Comic Con’s name is practically vestigial, it should really be called “San Diego Pop Culture Con.”  Fans of the movies that were filling that hall are real fans.  And the comics panels are still happening, in rooms that are large enough to fit the fanbase that wants to attend those…

Maybe the kid can have one of their various butlers or ponies feel mortified for them.

Yeah no, it’s far too late for SDCC to be about comics, both this year and in general. The booth prices have edged out every comic shop, and a con that size that actually was about comics... wouldn’t be that size. There are already several smaller cons in SD every year dedicated to actual comics, since SDCC got too…

Those dwarves sorta look like lost boys from Hook.  It’s fine, but it’s certainly a choice.

The thing that always shocks me about the original Disney Snow White is that she’s supposed to be 14.

Well I haven’t actually watched Barry yet, so who knows?

Guy Gardner.

I mean come on, this is super obvious now.  He’s just gonna repeat the opening of The Suicide Squad by filling a team with likeable actors playing C-tier heroes, then have them get wiped out by The Authority to establish them as a real threat.  It’s not gonna be hard R like that, so they’ll likely mostly survive, but…

Last I checked, you’ll be on my panel too! Super excited to meet you!

And Ramza.  Also we should dig a big hole under Luneth deep enough to place Ceodore in properly.

I feel like two of these got real short shrift, and I don’t mean in the ranking order, which I mostly agreed with.  But both Terra and Cecil found their description almost entirely concerned with their place in canon history and relationship to their game and the protagonists of other games, and not anything about…

In the same way that Maria Rambeau was, yes! Insofar as the article went out of the way to define that specific death as “The rare fridge that motivates a female character.” Except that’s not what fridging is. Otherwise you could just say “Iron Man talking to Captain America about Thor’s penis is an example of the…

The “I hate Will Ferrell except for Elf” takes always confuse me, because he’s at his most “stand there with his knees together and red-faced yell bullshit at extras” in that. It’s just maximum Will Ferrell.

The real part of the bus scene was a few on-location car crash effects.  Everything else was shot on a blue screen soundstage in Australia.
