Why are you telling me this.

Based on my rudimentary understanding of screenwriting, the title of this article will be what all the characters in Infinity War will be asking everytime Hawk Eye isn’t in a scene.

Never mind that Spielberg is friends with George Lucas (who no longer has anything to do with Star Wars). Spielberg has a pretty damn close relationship with current Star Wars big wig (i.e., Lucasfilm President) Kathleen Kennedy. She got her big break in the industry as Spielberg’s secretary, they co-founded Amblin,…

It’s because he wore a bowtie.

You know what an “implication” is, right? Despite your respect for women, you’re laying an awful lot of blame for pay inequity at their feet.

I’ve never heard of a TV show negotiating actor contracts one season at a time. Standard practice used to be (and I think probably still is) locking them in for 7 years before the pilot is even filmed. That’s why a lot of shows end after 7 seasons.

Whoa, the implication of “They aren’t going to pay you unless you ask to be paid” is that women would get paid more if only they were pushier (never-minding that they have agents to do that for them - sometimes the same agent as the ones representing men who get paid much more, and seem to get by without being…

I downloaded Snap Chat once, since I saw that some news and sports organizations I follow were advertising badges for it. I thought, “whatever, let’s see what this is about”.

I guess this is an unpopular take, but I actually liked the Jim Carrey Grinch movie. I’m certainly not saying it’s better than the original cartoon, but I laughed my ass off watching that movie for the first time, when it came out. The sack race scene scored to Chariots of Fire was comedy gold to younger me.

Which was the correct answer, as Amazon has now come out saying that it was an “Alexa, laugh” command being triggered accidentally. Although I wouldn’t totally rule out some of #1; i.e., people deliberately triggering Alexa to laugh, but posting videos of it online that made it look more random than it actually was.

If this is headed to the Disney streaming service, then I’d count on it being something nauseatingly family-friendly (since Disney is very brand conscious, and seems content to leave its grittier Defender series on Netflix). Best case, it’s a teen-centric drama that at least has the courage to experiment with…

Tell that to the creators of Fuller House

It has some useful functionality with parameter controls. If you want to know the weather somewhere other than where you are right now, you can just say, “what’s the weather in Tulsa”, rather than opening your weather app and searching for Tulsa. If your listening to a podcast on a Google Home, or playing video…

I have three alternate theories, in order from most to least likely:

It’s a slightly more human way to interact with technology. You just say the questions you have, or the things you want your “assistant” to do, rather fumble around for you phone and thumb away at a screen.

Oh, good. My local McDonald’s kitchen staff already implodes in panic if more than five people place orders within a few minutes of one another, so they’ll definitely have no problem handling the extra complexity of working with fresh meat.

The special effects and production quality are absurd, for a Netflix reboot of a campy TV show memorable mostly for its laughably bad effects, and for its memorably awful Matt LeBlanc-featuring movie reboot. The preview clips could easily pass for scenes from a Christopher Nolan movie.

How is it possible we didn’t uppercase “Jet Ski” when the AV Club tweeted, 5 minutes after this article was posted, that Jet Ski should be uppercased?

I love this as a recurring feature (if that’s what it is) because I can’t get enough kitten (not a euphemism), but am torn by how fucked up the economies of the Internet are that this has equivalent (if not superior) economic value as, e.g., thoughtful critical analysis from an experienced and eloquent movie critic…

“Whoa”, was my Keanu-esque reaction when I first saw news of this yesterday, as literally just the day before, I was reminiscing about how incredibly cool I thought that phone was, and contemplating whether I’d still think it was cool, now. [If it helps prove I’m not making it up, the genesis for the flashback was a…
