that lightning really messed up Samuel L’s voice.

i’d put this right between “Lando is the ‘other’ Yoda was referring to on Dagobah” and “Liam Neeson is a young Yoda” in terms of pre-release theories.

The freaking Hobbit.

At the Mountains of Madness will forever sting my soul.

At this rate, the list of films we wish Del Toro had made is threatening to outnumber the films he actually did make.

God, there is a woman who recently joined my (predominately white conservative male) company. It was physically painful to watch SO MANY of the men at our meeting talk over her... constantly. She’s be half-way through a meaningful and relevant point, only to be cut off by some jackass who is either A)repeating what…

Speaking as someone who wipes a lot of these machines for a sideline, Apple PCs are increasingly popular targets for malware thanks to their burgeoning popularity, and up until the second-most recent OSX revision could easily be broken into with a little trick called rm .applesetupdone, which allows you to run through…

Stan Lieber came of age in an era where Jewish writers faced discrimination, so he took an Anglo-sounding name. So right from the jump this is a really bad analogy.

(The stream was canceled.)

Marvel: “Lie on your resume...we’ll promote you to leadership!”*

Cool story, bruder.

So you may get your yes but the minor can later rescind it, and congratulations, you committed statutory rape.

That matters, why, exactly?

That’s not a “disturbingly real” version of the song, it’s a rather outlandish satire based on how 40s language sounds to modern ears. It’s funny because it’s over-the-top. Frank Loesser wasn’t writing about duct-taping and raping his wife, of course, but the idiom is a little archaic, and lends itself to exaggeration…

How is “a woman afraid of what society thinks eventually overcomes that fear and does what she wants” not an improvement over “a man roofies and rapes a woman who just wants to get home to her family”?
