“I give it Two Eyebrows Up!” 

I’m waiting for the inevitable “THIS ISN’T THE REAL SNYDER CUT!” after this movie disappoints.

I wonder how soon a #RealSnyderCut campaign will start. 

Oh, it won’t go away for a while. There’ll be followup articles about Snyder stans throwing hissy fits about the negative critical reaction; articles about how many people ostensibly watched the Snyder Cut on HBO MAX; articles dissecting weird moments and easter eggs; at least one For Your Consideration article

Did we need three whole glorified deleted scenes of boring space invader Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds, unrecognizable in voice and appearance) teleconferencing his progress to a flunky of future franchise heavy Darkseid?”

My one hope for all of this: I never have to hear about the fucking Snyder Cut again. I generally try not to yuck other people’s yum. I get that Snyder’s style is not appealing to me and that’s fine. Enjoy what you enjoy.

But damnit I am tired of hearing about this fucking thing.

i liked it even less because it breaks so many established rules from PR1.

the first was not a complex film so far as plot but actually did a really good job of detailing its world with background information, especially in respect to the Jagers. these are not simply your standard giant anime robot, they are bots

It’s called “fucking like rabbits” for a reason!

Dunno. The main appeal of Pacific Rim (apart from the deliciously bombastic soundtrack) is seeing giant robots in ‘live’, realistic-looking format, as opposed to the million drawings of them we’ve seen, especially in the anime genre.

Not a time loop story, but otherwise that’s the plot of Blackadder’s Christmas Carol.

You don’t think Norse Mythology is real? May Thor smite you!

Good first impression: hold out the back of your hand for them to sniff, then when they are comfortable that you are not threatening, scratch them behind the ears and under the chin. From there you can move on to petting and, it goes without saying, heavy petting.

“Rio Grillo”? I know it’s pronounced “Grill-o” and not “Gree-yo” but come on, don’t name your kid that!

Fuck the cousin-fucking - I’m just really excited that Yoda is giving sex-advice.

“It shouldn’t take a restraining bolt for you to get your family vaccinated. If you won’t, well, I don’t know what to say.”

Jesus Christ, Marie! They’re minerals!

I love that “functional”. Take a word which, really, is already implied by the title and then give it a different meaning.

It’s just low carb. You can use plant based fats instead, if that’s your thing.

Of course, too few carbs in your diet makes you stupid, so there’s that.

You sometimes wish that health officials could speak a little more freely and off-the-cuff when you hear things like, “We wish her well, but some of the solutions she’s recommending are really not the solutions we’d recommend in the NHS,”and just know that he wants to blurt out, “What?! No. No no no.

My wife finds it very odd that Vanessa Bayer is one of my top celebrity crushes. But she clearly has terrible taste so...
