If you send in the UPCs, you get the two-pack with his hand stuck in Shirley MacLaine’s top.

Their discussion on RotJ remains one of my favorites to recommend to people because they’re looking at it both in the past and present. It’s a welcome clear reminder that, despite the attitude now, RotJ wasn’t always warmly welcomed and that SW is a series where its flaws are often glossed over with time as people…

See, that’s part of why I wasn’t THAT mad at Starkiller. I rolled my eyes a little, sure, but it was more of “Eh, not like it’s the first time.”

Of course, that was also further fueled by memories of the Legends EU, where similar superweapons were almost annoyingly common (Darksaber, World Devastators, the Sun…

See, I don’t know if it was ever meant to be read THAT far, unless there’s some supplemental material that draws a more distinct line there.

That said, even the most benign read of that still isn’t great. Especially on the heels of what happened to the ill-fated dancing girl Oola before her (quite literally killed…

Welp...I guess this finally means I have no excuse for putting off Barry.

Also, I realized it wouldn’t be, but I still held out hope Mr. Show would be on here so I could badger more people into watching it.

Ah well...one step at time.

I have some degree of liking/sympathy for Saff and the producer, but I do get what you mean. As weirdly entertaining as the whole thing is in macro, a lot of the people featured are just...really horrible.

I mean, Carole’s no saint here, but given the evidence presented, I’d have an easier time believing Doc and Joe…

Seconding this.
It’s basically the same issue we have now with the electoral college - thanks to how people are distributed in the country, people in big cities would see their votes reduced to literal chump change while votes in some of the so-called flyover states would carry considerably more clout in turn.

This, in…

I DO find it interesting how his comic book movies all seem to have a throughline of him including a ‘common man hurts God’ theme.

Even when it’s not in the original source and altogether unearned, like in Watchmen.

Fucking this.

His inability to really connect with Batman really surprises me thanks to a recent rewatch of Mask of the Phantasm. Bruce Timm & co made a genuinely human Batman story that went into his motivations and his grappling with his feelings about his mission in 90 minutes. Snyder took twice that time and got a…

Fortunately, we’re already pretty used to getting blamed for other generations’ fuckery.

Doesn’t make it right, but it’s at least nothing new.

I get that you’re making a Simpsons joke, but I’m picturing this and now part of me just really wants the arrival of the White Walkers in The Long Night to take a huge cue from the March of the Dead from Army of Darkness.

“Ooooh no. Nice try, you will NOT be blaming this on us!” — Neo-Tokyo’s psychic research development program, already anticipating taking the heat for this one.

It’s not Olympics, but Fatal Games is at least an alright stand-in (high school gymnasts trying for ‘Nationals.’

That said, was made in the 80s, so be warned some bits are... ... ...dated (without saying too much, it borrows the infamous twist ending of another notable slasher of the era.)

Man, I still remember the day I first found/played The Gun on MAME.
It was...definitely a weird deviation from its source, but a fascinating one (interesting to me is that its most faithful nod to the movie itself is that fairly grim ending - you survive the alien threat only to get cut down by W-Y in the ever popular…

“Did they write the script?”
Actually, yes. Yes they did (well, O’Bannon did, but Shusett does also get story credit.)

YOU WILL PERISH IN FLAMES!
*bolts out of the restaurant, knocking over a trashcan in the process*

Honestly, I’d believe it from everything I’ve heard (which, while a shame, does at least make for the small punchline of ‘The right wing media sphere got its shorts in a wad over THIS?!’)

In this case, more stepping in to clarify with regards to the South Park criticism - which even they’ve at least once copped to not…

Only because they said no to him performing ‘Der Furher’s Face’

Just a reminder for those playing at home, the big reason the term ‘white’ caught on was due to certain chunks of European descent looking at the changing demographic and realizing it was getting browner than they were comfortable with. Faced with the possibility of no longer having a majority, they decided they were…

Also not Bart’s first time being expelled.

...are we absolutely sure this isn’t being auto-written now?
