Gigi’s robot character might have been named after Maria the robot from the classic silent film “Metropolis” but her presentation gave us Star Trek fans happy flashbacks to Lt Ilia from the first Star Trek movie.

“The last of the V8 Interceptors.”

As dorky as it sounds, it was a big thrill when I finally got a car (2005 Subaru WRX) that had actually been a Transformers toy.

-Ahem - we prefer “Morlocks”, thank you very much.

Yep, can confirm ASMR is actually a thing that works for me, at least in certain formats.

Everybody knows that the natural enemy of giant sharks is giant apes - duh.

I was hoping for a Nicholas Cage reference when the name “Kal-Elle” came up. 

Even Reggie Mantle says,

Spoken exactly like someone who gets all their information from the Fox News website.

Indeed - Validation is very important, but in the world of journalism, it sometimes needs to take a (temporary) backseat to clarification.

All it will take is a CG Reptar to get my butt in that theater seat.

I’m gonna haul ass to Hullabalooza!

Uh-oh Tom, they found Xenu!

The general consensus is that the original 1954 “Gojira” subtitled is far superior to the dubbed and re-edited for the US “Godzilla, King of the Monsters”. But lots of the dubbed Godzilla films from the ‘60s and ‘70s have a special place in the…

Fox News reports on any crimes or misbehaviors in California with an insane glee. Partly due to the stereotypical disdain conservatives have for the state, but mostly to troll suckers into the furious comment shitposts that are Fox’s bread-and-butter.

I’m pretty sure newer video releases cut out part of the weasel gangster’s dialogue when he tells Eddie to “Cut the bullshit”. This is unfortunate, and it reminds me of the similar video censoring of Spike’s random expletive “Oh, shit!” from the 1986 animated Transformers movie.

Sorry, I meant “orientation” but used the outdated term “preference” in error. My mistake.
