I have heavy doubts about this line as well, and think Davies was just being dramatic turning a “I don’t know anything about it” into a “I never heard of it”. But as famous as Doctor Who is, it’s still a foreign IP that hasn’t been in the limelight all that long. Trek is an American production, and James Bond has been …

Sorry, it’s the other way.

I basically agree, and having done several free trials of the Sip Club, I was inundated with information about these things being caffeinated. Between the name, the signage, and the generally available information, I think any reasonably intelligent person should be able to get it. But the problem with that is…

Not particularly creative or vulgar, but still a better roast than Grok when asked to be as vulgar as possible. A screen door on a submarine! That is some really impressive joke writing in this year of our lord, 1951. Someone should ask it how many Polish people are needed to change a light bulb.

This is an interesting contrast, because obviously bartenders can’t keep perfect tabs on their patrons, resulting in probably hundreds of thousands of people driving home over the legal limit annually. But nobody is pushing to close all bars on that account. Besides which, nothing is stopping anyone from potentially…

Really, even if there is a good Amidala story, there’s no good argument for not simply recasting her. Portman’s a great actor, and I’d love to see more of her, but her performance was not so iconic that she can’t be replaced with some other beautiful wisp of a girl. Emma Mackey could play her as an adult pretty…

I’ve been enjoying the specials so far, but I honestly think “incredible” is overselling them quite a lot. It’s probably just whiplash from Flux that’s causing these episodes to seem great when they’re really just fun and good. I mean, the nonsense factor of The Star Beast was off the charts even by RTD’s standards,…

I would be much more interested in a Triangle of Sadness game show.

This is a pretty reductive review of The Lizzie McGuire Movie.

As a kid, the only indoctrination I remember was Killer Tofu. I don’t think it ever really put me off of trying it later in life, but I still haven’t had liver and onions.

“And I’m not a clone, I’m not a clone. I know a lot of people saying that I was cloned out there.”

[This is] a man who spent 30 years working hard to get to where he was on March 25. A man with the world at his fingertips

Is Ruffalo the hottest OG Avenger? I suppose some people might be more into a Chris, but give me that nerd dad vibe any day.

Kinja tip: If you use the three dots to go the permalink of a particular thread, it usually lets you expand pending comments that fall after the first four.

I’ll never watch anything with Will Smith ever again. That’s how stupid After Earth was. I won’t get over After Earth. Please stop trying to push Will Smith. After Earth is irredeemable.

The most profitable film of the year was basically a feminist screed.

I got tricked by a generic tagline and scifi label into watching The Shift, and my heart sank when I saw the Angel Studios logo came up. They’re pulling the same pay it forward scam that they did with Sound of Freedom (My theater showing was nearly full on the app, and then only about a dozen people showed up) but it…

I don’t know, ~$30 seems about right for a console accessory that’s nearly four decades old. Original NES controllers seem to be running about half that, and it looks like Nintendo sold 4 times as many of them. I imagine they’re a lot more likely to have survived the test of time, too. I think my NES still had a…

It’s actually really surprising that Santos never claimed to be Blackish, and then later clarify that ‘no, he meant acted in the TV show Black-ish’

Easily the best element of Supernatural, and almost anything else he’s in as well.
