I hope the battle in this episode is better than the last battle. As near as i could tell in the last battle, the Saxon tactics were to walk in a mob down the road, with no calvalry screen or advanced guard, and when they see Vikings immediately sprint at the them. And the Viking  tactics were to magically appear in…

I thought he was great in Dracula. And if Vikings just became JRM kicking Vicking butt every show, I’d be all in.

The Mummy’s production cost $125m, plus whatever advertising costs (not sure exactly what this would be, but it’s tens of millions for a movie like this). So figure $150m-$175m for the whole thing.

Slate’s already done 2 articles on this, including an interview with the college kid. Because I know when I read the Louis C.K. stuff being confirmed, my first thoughts were “What does Jon Stewart and random college kid think of this?!?!?!?”. Hard hitting journalism.

I love Boston. But Boston sports radio is absolutely brutal. At best it’s like listening to ignorant drunks at a bar. At worst it’s this crap.

The fuck you on about?

I hope all these movies are metaphorical.

The author spends a lot of time judging the movies/story on a criteria (how good an allegory on the human condition is it) that most viewers/readers don’t use to judge, at least not primarily. This reads a bit film school essay. Most people judge them on how good the story is, how did it look, and how scary is it. …

True. I didn’t think he was going to die, though I also didn’t know what he had taken either. And when your kid is shaking and crying, thinking he’s going to die, begging to go to the hospital, you can tell him to just ride it out, Father of the Year. Lol.

Ex Machina doesn’t rate?

I like bourbon and I still laughed pretty hard.

Chris Pine was the first man she met. And if you see a unicorn, you’re going to want a ride. I agree on the bad ending and side characters, but I was buying the romance.

Looked like a clean block. At first I thought maybe he got blocked by someone he wasn’t expecting. On kickoffs sometimes you expect the person in front of you to block you, but instead you get hit by someone else from an angle you weren’t expecting. But this looks like he just ran into the one blocker and the…

If it gave Solaris an F than I give it no weight. I know it’s not everyone’s cuppa, but read a review or two before you go see something. At least have some idea what you’re seeing.

Because the Avclub’s political coverage is snarky third rate Slate crap.

That was the movie where God killed everyone because they ate meat and made machines, right? Deep stuff.

I’m torn. I can’t stand Jemele Hill, ESPN, Trump, White Supremacists, Huckabee or the Avclub’s insistence on doing snarky political writing. But otoh, if Jemele is going to use Twitter to potentially alienate a sizeable hunk of their audience, ESPN can tell her to tone it down a little.

My 15 yo’s friend gave him 7 pot gummies to try. The little idiot ate all 7. That was a fun 5 hours in the ER.
