After I resisted the urge to turn it off after the stupid “Fairy lives matter” line, I enjoyed it for what it was. It helped that I watched it with someone who was obviously loving every minute of it, though.

The only people whose opinion of “Bright” matters are those brave souls who privately enjoyed watching it and bravely decided to tell no one.

in my opinion Deadpool is opening a little too close to their tentpole summer film and they’re worried about it eating into their numbers in its early weeks.

Finally, my Hulk/Pepper Potts fan fiction might be realized!

this is awesome...remember the time whenever Robert Downey Jr was mentioned it had to do with being on drugs again etc.

Hey, that’s some good marketing. Good for them.

Other than Tool, this is easily my most eagerly awaited record, and it couldn’t come at a better time.

Don’t forget Blink 182's Tom Delonge taking time off to educate himself and the world about aerospace and astronomy.

This is weirdly common in punk too - Milo from the Descendents, and members of Bad Religion and the Offspring (off all fucking bands) have taken long leaves of absence to pursue math or science.

“We begin with the airing of grievances!”

He just said ‘hang on a minute,’ set up on the edge of the crowd, and in about 30 seconds had cleared a space for both of us to comfortably…

Not a bad tactic, and brings to mind one of the all-time great complaint letters from a passenger forced to sit in the ass seat.
