I reviewed the live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake for @avclub.com. It's demonstrably worse on almost every level, as all of these live-action movies are, and there's no reason it should exist beyond money. And yet, I did tear up during the flying sequences! www.avclub.com/how-to-train...

There's an old strain of enlightenment internationalism in this, the kind that saw planters dream of equal rights in American and France before realizing how it would spread, which matches with the kind of liberal internationalism that declared a universal declaration of human rights. Aspirational.

"Whac-A-Mole is more than a game—" I drop the tongs as my eyes go blank. The burgers on the grill are beginning to smoke as my alarmed family wonders what's wrong. I do not see them. I do not recognize them. I have heard the trigger phrase and I have been Activated.

Once again I am back with another TV preview for @vulture.com! This summer there's a lot of exciting TV, including several shows about detectives who — gasp — have personal baggage and a troubled past???? www.vulture.com/article/new-...

The number of journalist in this piece who draw the line at “letting AI do the writing” but are fine with “letting AI do the thinking” makes me want to walk into the ocean. This is how you lose your edge — and the war on our industry as executives try to replace us.

It's not going to be me, but somebody should write a book about Millennials with the title 'The Only Good Generation' and sell a ton of copies while making other generations very upset when they go on morning news shows for the press tour.

Absolutely devastated to hear about Polygon. One of my favorite sites to read and also the place that published the story I'm the most proud of out of everything I've ever written. This fucking industry!!!!

the reason why these people believe in “the woke mind virus” and think of others as “NPCs” is because they have literally fried their brains in private group chats with people who share the same half dozen opinions

I wish I could pull off any of the outfits that any human character from a ‘60s or ‘70s Godzilla movie wears. The fits… they have kaiju levels of style…

something I'm noticing is that the family in Bluey all seem really comfortable and unfazed by the kids being in the bathroom while Bandit (the dad) is taking a stinky shit. This happens in multiple episodes and everyone just treats it as normal. Is this an Australian thing?

When I reached out to Justin's reps about this interview, they wrote back that he had just left for his honeymoon so I assumed "Okay, well this interview isn't going to happen. So it goes!" Then he got back and, to my surprise and delight, did indeed want to talk about a quarter-century-old movie.
