Renner’s playing the character that Mark Millar came up with, not the one anyone has ever actually enjoyed reading.

Earth’s mightiest heroes have been poorly served by proper video games for pretty much the entire lifespan of the MCU.

Caravan’s literally the only fiction podcast I’ve listened to in years. So good.

When someone asked Joaquin Andujar what he thought of Gardner’s temper, he said, “I’m not a fan.”

I misread “Nougfest” as “Nougfist,” and absolutely want to see a candy bar with that name.

On the one hand, art is subjective. On the other, this list doesn’t include Tempest, so fuck that noise.

On the one hand, I can’t afford these, no matter how much I want them. On the other, if there’s one thing I learned from Gretchen, it’s that I can just get a new credit card when the current one stops working.

We live in a world where Screaming Females and Charly Bliss are both things, so we all know that VW is hardly the best that rock can offer at this moment.

I mostly remember Tony Hawk from that one episode of The Simpsons. Which, like Tony Hawk, appears to still be around, but isn’t nearly as charming.

So the first time he makes an interception or recovers a fumble, there’ll be eleven folks on the field allowed to tackle him. And ten teammates who could choose to not block for him very well.

No, this is video of what someone getting ejected from a fighter jet should look like:

Sadly, the MSPCA out here specifically lists pillows and comforters as things they don’t accept. They take towels and blankets, though, so we’ll be donating there next time we have some to get rid of.

I liked it a lot more. This is, frankly, the closest I’ve seen either of the Big Two do to capturing the sensawunda feel since Donner’s first two Superman films. It’s arguably more of a kid movie as a result (although as with Superman or even other ‘80s films — see The Goonies, etc — there’s at least one scene of…

“Holy shit snacks” or GTFO.

Looking forward to seeing if this question gets answered, or leads to a block.

And that’s directly attributable to what the trolls are doing. By creating a toxic environment, they make it impossible for anyone who actually wants to have a public discussion to analyze the film — the good or the bad elements — to do so.

Are you a real person or a Markov chain construct from a reactionary incel bingo card?

Are you being “infiltrated” when you open the door, invite someone in, and give them full run of the place?

I’m amused that Pronzini’s Nameless Detective is still on the list, since Pronzini gave us his name (“Bill”) nearly twenty books ago now. Still one of my faves (along with Hammett’s Continental Op).

I mean, he watches Trump pull the same shit on a much grander scale every day, and sees confirmation that enough people are, indeed, morons willing to buy into the lies. So it makes sense that he’ll try the same tactics.
