Wait ‘til you hear about Panic! At the Disco

Oh, bother.

Looks like GTA V with a cyberpunk theme, and honestly I’m on board.

Felt a lot more Rockstar Games-y than I was expecting.

True but not always. Technically old skool D&D had the optional Comeliness stat which was just rare physical attractiveness.

I think that might be a Monty Python reference.

Come to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs.

As someone who rewatched the movie a couple of weeks ago that particular moment is still hilarious. I can’t help but give it points for being such a well-intentioned movie.

I feel like Doolittle has a great-good-great pattern going on, at least for the first half. For me the best three are Here comes Your Man, Dead, Monkey Gone To Heaven. Dead is merely good but it bridges the other two really well.

I never understood why Meteor Man wasn’t on cable all the time, but the inferior Blankman was. The movie disappeared, so I haven’t seen it in ages, but I remember liking it.

The basis for the pop culture obsession in Ready Player One is not nostalgia. It is because of a specific set of interests held by the creator of the game so that they can try and win his treasure hunt. Therefore they are limited to the time period which he was interested in.

I think the length and repetition are necessary because of the relative paucity of plot—which I know sounds like “well duh, that’s the problem,” but for some kinds of books, especially post-modernist stuff, it’s the immersion you can only get with a really long book that makes it work. I think the novel of American…

Disagree. The movie may be better, but I enjoyed the novel.

Fuck that. You stop watching them all at once.
