    Do not mourn me. I am already dead.

    Eh, I like Papa John’s pizza, especially some of their specialty pizzas like the cheeseburger one or the Philly cheesesteak - the ones they only offer when they feel like it for some reason, like they’re made out of McRibs or something. I used to order it practically once a week. I stopped a while back - sparing

    PRO-TIP: You can see a movie as many times as you want if you’re good at hiding and don’t mind sleeping in a theater overnight.

    I’ll agree with criticisms of The Dark World having the worst villain of any Marvel movie (worst main villain, that is; I thought Kurse was pretty cool and obviously Loki was good) but I thought it was quite fun overall and the world-jumping final battle was one of the best final fights in a Marvel movie. It was

    In all fairness, though, we are talking about American movies here. Do British movies ever open in the US before they open in the UK? (That’s not a rhetorical question, I honestly don’t know whether it’s ever happened or not.)

    Yeah, there’s that one type of wig - with the way too defined and visible hairline - that Hollywood makeup people think works for some reason but it just makes a person look like a Ken doll (or Barbie doll, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it used on a woman). Like, you can count the individual holes that hair is

    This show isn’t really good enough to warrant defending, but I’ll take a whack at some of those, purely as a thought exercise, because I loves me some fanwanking.

    The impression I got was less that Klingon is a slow language to speak than that the show is ... let’s say playing it safe in its estimation of the speed at which viewers can read subtitles. Like, if the show supposes that it takes at least five full seconds for most of the audience to read the phrase “We must unite

    You can’t fault a bunch of young, scared mutants outlaws for reacting to a bizarre situation by going into panic mode, but after the second or third time the portal opened with the increasingly large crowd on the other side, I would have loved to have seen one of the mutants try walking up to the portal and shouting

    Within a year, no one will have ever supported him in the first place, just like no one ever voted for Nixon, no one ever listened to disco music, and no one ever liked The Phantom Menace.

    I found Jost’s entire opening rant hilarious, but specifically, just rewatching it now to get the wording right, “please, Colin, tell us this is fraud” and “if you have more than six dildos, it’s a clear sign you are training for something awful” made me literally laugh out loud.

    Every now and then you get a host who actually moves their head from side to side while reading the cards, and those are the most delightfully cringeworthy sketches of all.

    On a related note: the day I figured out what a Stride Mother actually was (“step-mother” autotranslated into another language then back into English by non-English-speaking spammers) I felt like Sherlock Holmes.

    I know that Harvey Weinstein and Harve Fierstein are two completely different people intellectually, but my brain has never quite internalized that fact enough to spontaneously differentiate between them so this whole situation has been causing me some weird cognitive dissonance.

    When I saw your post starting with “I made $25 an hour...” I thought your account had been hacked by a spambot.

    I dunno, as long as it’s paying the bills and getting better ratings than pretty much anything else they could find to fill its time slot (not like they’re going to run a scripted show at that hour on a Saturday) does cancelling it just because it’s been around for a long time really make more sense than keeping it

    I forget where I originally read it, but one of my favorite descriptions of the gelatinous cube was that it was a creature that evolutionarily adapted to living in dungeons drawn on graph paper.

    Well, I checked out Marvel.com to get to the bottom of things (not that the site’s infallible - and there’s certainly nothing preventing them from changing the way his abilities work in the future - but it gives a good idea on what the “official” version of the character is like right now in the comics ... not that

    Kaley Cuoco? I thought Isabelle Cornish was the Melissa Benoist of Earth 2.

    I’m betting the show has abandoned he idea that he doesn’t have powers. Pretty much every time I’ve seen Karnak in one of Marvel’s various animated series, they’ve just treated his ability to see flaws as an actual superpower, as in he can literally see structural weaknesses, pressure points, etc. - he looks at you
