I’ve sold AI to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook, and by gum it put them on the map.

Look, I love 1980s music but it’s time to let it go. It’s not a young person’s game. There doesn't need to be an extended homage to Tears for Fears in Despicable Me 4.

Yeah but if the dinosaurs didn't go extinct we wouldn't have gotten humans. Is that what you want? Why do you hate humans, Michael?

The thing about “The Beekeeper” is that its villain is despised universally. Irrespective of politics, I feel like we all agree that phone scammers should be burned alive. Every action movie should be about them but failing that they can just make 50 more “Beekeeper”s

This was the cost to go to the drive-ins on the weekend. A combo was a drink and popcorn. (I'm in Australia so actual numbers don't mean much)

Ok I know you said no speculation but remember the episode of Star Trek the Next Generation when Riker was tired all the time and then it turned out Aliens were coming through a portal taking him to their dimension and doing experiments?

Driving from Tucson to Austin looking for somewhere on I-10 where my vegetarian husband could eat so I guess you could say I have a more felt understanding than you of what they went through in “Fury Road”

Be nice to K-Mart staff. The amount of time they have to deal with finding used underwear in the store is a lot more than you'd think.

I think the reason we don't hear much about alien abduction anymore is that we're no longer afraid of it. It's hard not to look around and think "How bad can the probes be? Just get me the hell off this planet."

Science fiction is all about a Great Forgetting age where records are lost etc and sometimes it's natural disaster and sometimes it's revolutionary action but in our world it's apparently for tax write-offs

Holy shit. I just found that Adam West, who famously played Batman in the 1966 TV series, also played millionaire Bruce Wayne. What a talented actor.

This is very besides the point, but Wes Streeting's name always sounds like it's British slang for some highly specific public sex act. "Did you hear about Gary? Someone spotted him Wes Streeting"

The way we’re all told to treat all this as normal. It’s fine that half your email is scams. It’s fine that you can’t answer your phone. It’s fine that every Instagram post is full of scam bait comments. It’s fine that people text you weird phishing links. Just adjust your behavior.
