Yeah, I know. It's still pretty funny/remarkable to see seven people listed on a Team 3 though.

I suspect Team 3 has the highest players-to-points ratio in CZ Trivia history.

I just did 93%/3%

You feel like a cold-producing bovine regurgitation?

Better English vocab breadth diagnostic than the last one that went around the internet

It's super weird that Trump finally gave the sort of mildly pivot-y speech Manafort wanted him to focus on along right as he's being shuffled out the door.

I can do it tonight.

Lochte went to a high school near mine. None of the students or faculty I knew ever really bragged about him as a famous alum, though, because even right after he rose to major prominence at the 2012 games we all knew he was dumber than a sack of hammers.

Yeah I will say this for Mothra: it has distinct characters (Nelson is a pretty fun villain!) and a plot that I could probably summarize accurately three hours after watching it. That makes it a better movie than any of the kaiju flicks they did during the MST days. And a more watchable movie generally makes for a…

Mothra is such a weird fucking movie. "Hey, we have twenty thousand yen for visual effects shots! Should we use them all on the giant monster?" "NO! It's absolutely crucial that we do a ton of composite shots showing these tiny mystical twins!" "But isn't the movie called Mothra? Won't people want a giant moth?" "Well…

Apparently what Univision actually bought was the rights to the six other sites in the Gawker family so io9 et al should be fine.

I'm not so much worried about the comments section of the AV Club being removed altogether, but if Disqus really does charge by volume I can see a switch to another system being appealing in the long run. And apparently that means all old comments get wiped.

NPR shuts down its comments section due to its lack of broad usage

Pretty sure it came from Ludacris going "hey can I beat somebody up for once?" and James Wan was like "sure why not"

I would've been able to do it tonight but tomorrow night I'll be at Rifftrax Live :(

Anyone else read "Story of Your Life"? It's the short story that Villeneuve's Arrival is based on. I was intrigued by the trailer and sought out the story. It's a really neat take on alien language and linguistics, mixed with ideas about different formulations of physics and how they all relate to determinism. It's…

They've already had Sam Jackson so I don't know how many waves he'd make. RDJ would clearly be the biggest get.

Pete's Dragon is just as delightful as you've heard. Watching it in a theater with a loud family eating an entirely crinkly bag of Haribo gummy bears is slightly less delightful, but I still enjoyed it.

Univision bought gawker. Does that make them our cousins? Or are they more like a gross aunt?
