Am I the only one who had to look up the word "tulpa?"

I'm not exactly sure what it is that Trader Joe's is supposed to have been lying about, but what's amazing about this is how every single manufactured item has to clearly list its origin (which of course is almost always China), yet you have to pull Freedom of Information Act requests just to find out where YOUR FOOD…

All Liefeld-bashing aside, it really looks a lot more like the Punisher than Cable to me. Doesn't Cable at least require snow white hair and a widow's peak?

Now there's a word that everyone should try to insert into a conversation at least once day.

It's fun to speculate, but for all we know the guy had little or no hand in actually writing any of these movies. His name could be included in the list of writers on a given movie for a variety of political, financial, vanity or other reasons that are unknowable to random schmucks on the internet like us.

uBlock Origin puts a stop to all that nonsense, at least for me.

I see what you did there, with the blue flowers and blue roses and whatnot

I've never liked The White Stripes or anything else related to Jack White until one day I was listening to the radio and that opening riff from Lazaretto (the song) leaped out of the speakers. That's some high quality rock and roll right there.

The new Battlestar Galactica took things even further. It put God at the center of both the human and AI societies, a very gutsy move on the part of the showrunners and writers. It worked extremely well, and gave BG some interesting themes that Trek has never really explored.

I've always maintained that holodecks would in reality cause any society to collapse. Why the hell would anybody want to do anything except stay in the holodeck all day long and endlessly live out his/her wildest fantasies?

I guess he's great at that contemporary, tuneless, atmospheric style, but seriously, what are people 50 years from now going to remember? The score to Dunkirk or the score to Star Wars?

Yeah, obviously it's not "trolling" in the sense of acting in bad faith. At the same time, clearly Lynch's intention is to wring humor and/or tension and/or some other type of effect out of many scenes by "trolling" us in the sense of pushing our patience as viewers to the limit. For example, I don't think there's…

If "comedy of delay" is what he's going for in some of these excruciatingly glacial scenes, then I don't get the joke. I swore I would never question Lynch again after Episode 8 though, so I'll just have to trust that he knows what he's doing.

I'll go a step further and say that this was one of the most metal things I've ever seen. It's almost like something out of Metalocalypse.

I love The Black Paintings. Goya did dark and disturbing better than anyone else ever has, in my opinion. Even the ones that are less explicitly disturbing than Saturn have such a unique, nightmarish vibe.

Good question. I would probably go with Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth. The homespun pathos and yearning of it is so moving; it transcends any words. It's kind of like what Grant Wood's American Gothic is going for, except that American Gothic never really moved me personally.

Yeah, what the hell. Why don't they kill off Diet Coke instead? Everyone I have ever heard from who has an opinion about it prefers Coke Zero to Diet Coke.

Nice. That would definitely explain it, because I've probably seen Wayne's World 20 times, but only the first time was in the theater. I wish I could find a clip of the original version to hear what he plays.

Something that's weird to me about the Stairway scene in Wayne's World is that what he actually plays is not recognizable as any part of that song, at least to my ears. What portion of the song is he supposed to be playing before he's stopped by the clerk? Or maybe that's the joke: the clerk just immediately stops…
