Janet Varney is best known for—well, it depends on what you like her from. She’s acted in The Legend of Korra, You’re the Worst, and Stan Against Evil, and created the Emmy-nominated IFC web series Fortune Rookie. She stars in the audio-drama podcast Voyage to the Stars and hosts the chat podcast The JV Club. She is…

I see you’ve read my fanfic.

Doing this as a straight-laced serious show with anything approaching hard science fiction isn’t going to work.

They need to lean into the ridiculous, candy-colored planetary romance of it all, which makes doing it in an animated fashion a great idea. And Waititi seems unlikely to take it too seriously.

While I don’t…

I still think it’s possible to do Scream as a television show, all prior evidence to the contrary.

Nowadays, they’d split it into two movies and people would be furious at the second half, but to me, seeing that “hey, being a hero turns out to be bullshit for all involved” was amazing. Probably something they should keep away from teenagers until they’re fully on board societal nonsense, though.

2019: When even old ladies knitting (and old ladies at heart -- come on, you know it’s true) can’t keep from turning every fucking thing into an argument.

That is one old picture of himself that Dice is using there. Nowadays, he and Roseanne look more or less identical.

He takes a lot longer writing Astro City. At his sickest, that’s why Astro City disappeared for years. Regular books don’t require the same level of engagement from him.

And part of the legend of Thunderbolts is the big twist at the end of #1 was probably the last huge superhero comics surprise.

I’m not sure we’re ever going to see Sif again, unfortunately, or Darcy.

The show has also made me go back and read the comic book series for the first time, which is a lot of good reading. So there’s that.

Sid Meier’s Pirates!, one of the greatest games of all time.

You’re 11 years older than your wife, who will likely live longer than you — who is likely to be dead in about 7, statistically speaking.

So, sure, she’s going to off herself after you go.

Or maybe she’ll try wearing colors for the first time in decades and find another way to mourn you.

Well, now I guess we know what’s going to fill the void left by the Big Bang Theory.

Truly, this is the darkest timeline.

That’s the lesson I got from Lawrence of Arabia. And also to stick with smaller sodas in the movie theater.

I assume the folks who work in actual museums are irritated at best with Instagram venues calling themselves “museums.”

Look, I love astronauts and I love Krispy Kreme. I’m still not sure I understand this promotion, though.

The Common Core meme I saw most of the time was from a Long Island school district textbook, which makes sense with your experience. (It was a catastrophically poorly explained math problem, as I recall, although it was willfully misinterpreted even more by the meme creator.)

Thanks for weighing in, Mr. President.

Attack the Block, but with magic.

Or, more ambitiously, Doctor Who, but with magic.

Yes, please.

A lake of butter, salt, pepper and crumbled bacon. Obviously.
