Is “Haven” a solid, believable New England name, or has Stephen King tricked me again?

It turns out that Cooper was Providence all along.

...I have no idea what any of that means.

I’ve seriously avoided any and all smart assistant tech, but if I can start speaking to a computer by saying MOTHER, I might break.

The prose is actually one of the novel’s strengths, and as for predictable, the Don-Quixote-esque plot structure is endlessly fascinating in a field glutted with three-act structure. It’s miles ahead of Game of Thrones on both counts.

Sorry you feel that way. But barring one totally flat kiss with Sharon, CW is a note perfect piece of film. I’ve watched it a dozen times.

Hands down the best fantasy novel I’ve read since The Hobbit.

I mean, it’s just Beauty and the Beast from the Black Lagoon. It’s incredibly basic as a story-the plot is so old it’s rusty. Del Toro just does a brilliant job.

It’s so tiring. I’ve spent years talking about how Franco might embody a kind of queer politics that is separate from specific sex acts—that radical queerness might be available to all kinds of people for the benefit of all people—and then it turns out he’s just a lying patriarchal dickface.

She’s from Waco, and her mom was Governor in Texas, so she has as much as (more than) a reason to be a Texas senator than Cruz, regardless of where her career has taken her in the meantime.

LeGuin’s constant fight against entrenched oppression through imagination and empathy is at the heart of all great genre fiction. Rest in Power.

It really doesn’t.

I mean, I have never considered a movie populated entirely by Kate McKinnon, but that is now all that I’ll ever want for the rest of time.

I mean, the closest thing to “movie stars” are Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd, both of whom are famous for playing incredibly eccentric characters (not protagonists), so I’m happy with my original comment.

Sorry, I just read that as straight sarcasm. I mean, what else is io9 for besides taking potshots at movies that don’t exist yet?

I mean, this sounds fine, but then who else are you going to get? You need at least six actors (seven if they bring in both Dr Orchid and Mrs White). You just know it’s gonna be Johnny Depp as Colonel Mustard and the whole thing will be insufferable.

You must not go on the internet very often if you find predicting which bits of popular culture will fail that annoying.

Ryan Reynolds is plenty of things, but campy he is not.

I mean that’s a fine position to have, but I gave a reason why it might not be decent. And I honestly can’t see anything within Deadpool that would imply that this creative team can handle a parlor mystery, especially given that they can only draw from a board game without a plot or a film which was purely accidental…

That is...really not true at all.
