I think this youtube video is as close to Interdimensional Cable as I have ever seen in this reality.

I don’t grade, b/c I wouldn’t be able to stick to my own guidelines lol. But it was wonderful. Hit me right in the feels with Brienne. Easily in my top 5 list for the series, and only the 2nd time I got misty eyed.

And now we know why he likes big women!

The big woman still here?

If I remember, is was actually a labor dispute that killed Carrefour in the US, although stronger sales would have mitigated this damage.

It’s best not to anthropomorphize politicians.

And now, malls in the US themselves have become the zombies, barely living shells of their former selves.

The mall in Dawn of the Dead included a grocery store though. That actually wasn’t uncommon in the 1970s — the mall I grew up with had a grocery store, a couple of drug stores, a hardware store, and other actually useful places — it wasn’t just clothing stores and restaurants like today. Also Wal-Marts didn’t exist in…

Doctor Who:

Laura being biracial does actually seem like part of the twist, in that it makes it harder to see it coming, but once revealed it makes perfect sense and totally organic.

Yeah, this is, impressively, the smuggest, most wannabe hipster write-up yet. Homecoming is much closer to being one of the best MCU films than “from the worst.”

Man, Homecoming was just so much better than a second attempt at a reboot has any right to be. A lot of MCU movies are great in the moment but feel more rickety after you’ve had time to think about them, but Homecoming is sort of the opposite: a lot of fun as you watch it, and then when I thought back on it later I…

Jack fricking Burton.

Great write-up. People often don’t understand why when I say that Spartacus is among, if not my favorite movie. The contrast between Spartacus and Crassus is incredible. Olivier’s Crassus is pitch perfect with many subtle nuances, looks, expressions, etc. Putting him opposite Charles Laughton’s Gracchus was an…

McCarthy was a tool of J. Edgar Hoover, who was engaged in a feud with the CIA (which found it useful to recruit people with communist associations). He was not on good terms with Eisenhower, the Republican president. A senator today who sided with the head of the FBI against the President would not be a Trump…

Douglas needed a new director after he fired Anthony Mann a week into production

Except that everything he said is calm, rational and on-point.  And maybe he’s like me: he loves Trek and wants to keep watching, but his mind won’t let him ignore the utter stupidity of everything we have just seen.

Thank you. 

Here... What everyone actually came for, the side by side.

Remember, if life gives you sweet potatoes, then make sweet potato pie . . . without sugar . . . or cinnamon . . . wait, that’s stupid. Don’t do that.
