From the Blue Beetle section: “What’s fabulous about it is that it’s the first Latinx hero that has his own movie.”

Do people actually believe that Law & Order in any way represents reality? Because if enough of them do, then that is a bigger problem than any TV show depicting heroic cops.

I dunno, like, whatever.

Maybe you’re too young to know, but it’s human nature to slide into self-reverential nostalgia as you enter the back stretch of life. Boomers did it, Gen X may be doing it, and in twenty years, you’ll be doing it too. 

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Kevin Smith shit on a film. Granted, I limit my exposure to him talking, but he seems pretty positive about every film he discusses.

It’s people trying to sell stuff to us GenXers.  Don’t worry, we’re still apathetic and haven’t sold out...much.

Anything asserted as canonical can be undone at the stroke of a pen, and while copyright might prevent me from distributing my own version of a story, the copyright holder can’t prevent me from deciding which version or parts of a story I consider canonical.

So that’s y’all reacting to “spoilers” from Fire and Blood (which I haven’t read and don’t care to). I mean, it’s obvious what happened with Otto, the kid, and Mysaria, so it seems odd that they would call it a spoiler and make the assumption that I’ve read the book and not just, you know, paid attention to the…

It didn’t look like it.  Daemon left just when it was heating up.

The rumors are that Secret Nazis in the 1960s use some artifact to turn stonehenge into a time travel portal. Indy and PWB’s character end up pulled into the Raiders of the Lost Ark timeline and break history when they encounter OG Indy and Sallah who are de-aged. Young Indy ends up dying somehow and Old Indy…

A shout-out to Mark Mothersbaugh’s work on the score for this episode. I rarely notice the scoring, probably because the cast is usually talking a mile a minute over it, but the driving strings underscoring the extended sequence where Colin Robinson discovers and then enters and investigates the hidden room was some…

The irony is that you could very easily turn the award winners into a slideshow.

Coverage of bo9th the Hugos and Nebullas has been very spotty the last few years. If it isn’t a low budget horror film or based on a comic book, then it might not get noticed by io9.

Okay Spanfeller, you herb, you win. You’ve wrecked this site beyond recognition. Do you recognize any names up there? How about Charlie Jane and Annalee, the founders of this damn site. This site is supposed to be about science fiction in all media, but the reporters are now so inept that they can’t report on the fucki…

Back when AVClub was still as clever as The Onion, they would have put the photo of the Worst Person You Know meme up for this newswire bit rather than Schneider’s putrid mug.

I mean, Rob Schneider sucks, but he’s not wrong in this instance. That was a really embarrassing/cringey moment for a comedy show.

I remember an episode where at the end they ask him “How ya doin’ DJ?” and he says “I haven’t said a single word in like a week and no one even noticed!”

They are now a Cousin Oliver and shaggy dog from completing Sitcom Death Spiral Bingo.

Seems as good a place as any to post The Official Dr Emilio Lizardo ranking of all the books nominated for best novel by either the Hugo (H) or Nebula (N). I have divided them into groups and ranked them from least good to best. None of them are bad, unlike in recent years where I feel at least one book has been…
