It’s not really about sophistication so much as adequate entertainment. Many of the Marvel movies aren’t exactly sophisticated, but at least they’re fun. Most of the DC movies under Zack’s direction are just dreary and overly serious.

I would totally be down for the adventures of young Lando and his new best pal, the Star-Spawn of Cthulhu.

Let’s be honest, there’s only one reason I can think of why they wouldn’t release the original editions. Lucas had it as part of their sale contract that they couldn’t. 

Not surprised that she didn’t have a voice growing up.  I imagine that her father saw her and her mother as possessions: southern womanhood that needed protecting and controlling.

I can sympathize with the struggle to love someone as you know them, as your parent and yet still finding yourself grossly at odds with their character and beliefs and actions. My parents didn’t raise me with any particular political beliefs but when I started forming my own opinions and voicing them, there was often…

A Quiet Place 2: The Check Cashening

Two Places Too Quiet.

The Finchbro was a leashed child. It saved his life more times than I care to count.

It’s an episodic show. Which I know are out of fashion but personally I enjoy it. Not every show has to be be an elaborate 8 part story. This is far more rewatchable for me.

It's an episodic show though. It's not designed to be serialised beyond the larger continuity of the arcs. Heavily serialised shows being the norm is a relatively recent development. I get not being a fan of that after serialised TV has become so ubiquitous, but it's not fair to criticise it for something it's…

Also, how cute was it when Baby Yoda thought he had brought down Zero with his lil’ Force powers for just a split second?

The key takeaway here is just how many of these fakes were shared knowingly or uncaringly by politicians and news agencies.

My parents had gone on a beach vacation in the summer a few years ago, and they bought back nice gifts for my siblings and their families, like hoodies, candles, ornaments, and gave them out at Christmas. And for me, oh boy, they had “saved” for me their USED little bottles of hotel shampoo and conditioner (there was…

I love that she actually puts thought into her gifts. I love people who do that, even when the results are at times head-scratchingly confusing.

Not as bad but reminds me a little of my mom when right before my wedding she demanded that I let my step-dad walk me down the aisle instead of my dad (lots of drama around this). I flat out told her “no” and it wasn’t a discussion, and to this day she talks about how I was a “bridezilla.”

This is actually really sweet in its own weird way.

When I was 15, I was admitted to the psych ward through the ER for some pretty serious self-harm (cutting, specifically). It was November. I didn’t want to talk to my dad in there ‘cause I knew he’d be an asshole. He was such an asshole to the caretakers, though, that they MADE me talk to him just to get him off their…

Not a gift for me, but for my husband from his mother. I don’t know why she regularly gives him the odd gifts. Over the years, she’s gotten him an adult Batman onesie with a cape on it, manila file folders, and those plumbing snake things for when your drain is clogged. We struggle getting along with her, but I know…

Yikes.

I had been a poor student for years, sleeping on an air mattress in a sleeping bag, when my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told her I wanted a duvet to replace my sleeping bag and a real suitcase to replace a weathered duffel bag. She implied she had some extra money that year and asked if I had a…
