  1. I lose it every time the "2 2015 Toyota Highlanders" comes up.
  2. Not a high bar to clear. It really is wonderful.
  3. Mads just replaced Depp in Fantastic Beasts and separate from the trial nonsense, nobody cared. They don’t even need to set up a different actor, just cast whoever.
  4. I don’t think Deep or A Train are interesting enough to warrant the additional attention, nor nuanced enough to be used as any kind of effective commentary. Deep’s connections to aquatic life or A Train’s inability to keep running just get completely outweighed by them being pieces of shit. They’re not competent foils for Homelander, they’re even less interesting apart from him, and they’re not pathetic enough to pity. I haven’t seen today’s episode yet either. The issue I have with Homelander now is that I don’t get why he’s not zapping or at least more intimidating with Stan? If he’s threatening Starlight with the destruction of New York and her hometown, I don’t get why he puts up with Stan’s shit? “So there’s a story,” obviously but it’s a bit weird. And I agree about the Maeve stuff.
  5. I will never ever understand* the “Kobe didn’t rape her” crowd. In his apology he acknowledged that she did not believe the encounter was consensual. If that isn’t rape I don’t know what is. * patriarchy and misogyny, but y’all know what I mean
  6. Shocking that team horse paste cannot identify the disease let alone the cure.
  7. This looks less “dark” than I was afraid of, but more “edgy” with that whole “I do” line, so that’s kind of a wash. Aside from that The Rock looks like he’s having a good time which usually means good things.
  8. Indeed. Also kinda wild that the base looked MUCH better in Fallen Order than on this show.
  9. I have mixed feelings about this one. Leia being kidnapped again feels lazy, especially when the danger lasted less than 20 minutes of screen time. The conflict between Obi-Wan and the people who helped him resolved itself so fast that I don’t know why they bothered. And for a guy that the show has established is pretty rusty, he still seemed to have no issues dunking on a shitload of Troopers. But you know… Ewan and kid Leia have chemistry and that’s great.
  10. Seeing as how this is my industry now, I think 15 years is too optimistic. 10 years ago we were barely talking about immunotherapy. We were just starting to understand the extent to which cancer is a disease of the genome. Within the next 15 years we’ll have more and more affordable genomic sequencing which should help inform treatment research which will hopefully make a solid feedback loop. But I’d love to be wrong.
  11. His heart is in the right place but nobody should be surprised that my guy is a straight dum dum.
  12. McConaughey steers the car straight off the cliff with his calls for sensible gun ownership and centrism.
