Alright, but I’m still wearing the giant novelty foam cowboy hat.

“a public announcement that should, if nothing else, throw some much-needed attention toward that often misunderstood condition.”

I really liked both The Hunt for Red October and The Martian, so hooray for engineering manuals with hacky jokes, I guess.

Yeah that’s another thing, Weir’s female characters at worst are just underdeveloped and one note (Again, this just from reading The Martian, I have not read his other novel.). Which just seems to be a problem with his characters in general.

Legends Of Tomorrow is one of the best shows on television. It also once featured a season-long storyline with a character getting his nipple bitten off by a unicorn, then later having his nipple restored but possessed by a demon from the time it spent in hell, and then using the possessed nipple to hypnotize people…

This is SUCH a Rebecca Silver move. She must have a new book coming out.

You’re very right about it being a deconstruction, but none of that is why the last two seasons were so bad (not just received poorly—they were bad). I don’t know how often I and so many others can reiterate this: It’s not what happened that pissed me off, it’s that it wasn’t earned.

Fast 10 he gets to space and meets Riddick and they do a double team style movie

They’re just going to keep shortening the title with each new iteration. The tenth will simply be X. The eleventh will be two vertical lines. The twelfth merely a visual representation for the function F(x) = X²

In the mid-90s I biked from Brooklyn to a place in Queens I’d never been to before, and I wrote the turn-by-turn directions on a long strip of paper and then coiled it around my handlebar, unwinding as I arrived at each turn. I feel like that story should end with a gratuitous get-off-my-lawn.
