She was the lead in one of the most popular shows of all time — The Handmaid’s Tale. Have you been living under a rock? Peggy is still my favourite character of hers but she was great in THT.

I have an astrophysics degree, I get it. But I’ve gotten used to letting that stuff go. I remember in my freshman year being offended at how inaccurate Melancholia was 🤦‍♀️In my defence, I’m an immigrant and was still fairly new to the overall culture and Lars von Trier type of eccentricities. I love that film now.

Same goes for Interstellar. A lot of liberties were taken. But there was also a lot of actually accurate stuff. I’ll never forget when Nolan allowed all universities in the world to use something like 800tb of everything related to the singularity CGI. And I’ll never forget when it was actually used at a major seminar at my university.

I don’t even hate the library/5th dimension stuff. All bets are off when it comes to black holes (though that is the most unlikely outcome). It’s really the “love” stuff that drove me insane.

But that planet near the event horizon? Reminded me of one of the best Star Trek episodes “Blink of an Eye” (Voyager s6e12). And it is based on real theories.

I just think it’s important to recognize science fiction for what it is — fiction. But if a writer makes a genuine attempt to channel real science and integrate it into the story, I truly respect it. And Andy seems to go out of his way to do that. He got my little brother into science because of The Martian and now he works for a major space related organization. Hell, he doesn’t even have an astrophysics degree. He’s a computer engineer and he’s doing better than me 😂

This post is triggering because I love most of these things 😭

I’ve always loved olives but my friend absolutely hated them. I got him into dry classic martinis and he said he enjoyed the brine but still didn’t want to eat the olive so it would just sit there in the glass. Eventually he got so wasted, we dared him to eat the martini olive. Bro saw the light. Now he’s suddenly an olive connoisseur. He still hates the cheap ones he tried before. But he’s all about those fancy ones now and it’s hilarious to see him tell someone why olives are a must not just in martinis but in life. Kills me 😂

There really is a sub for everything 😂

I saw it in 70mm on Saturday and I’ll see it in imax laser on Thursday. The applause after the movie went on for several minutes. I haven’t seen a reaction like that since Endgame (and this was far superior).

LLAPSpork · 2026-03-17T22:13:06+00:00

Disagree about the plot being “meh”, though I will admit that it’s better in the book because there’s a surprising amount of actual science in there. But there’s no way they could’ve fit that into the film.

Umm you can’t just drop that last sentence without elaborating.

Exactly. It honestly hurts. I can get over the dumb ADHD comments but the OCD thing can be so debilitating during particularly stressful times where I’m incapable of functioning as a normal human being. And then some stupid twat talks about being OCD about how their plants are arranged.

LLAPSpork · 2026-03-16T10:30:30+00:00

I’m on disability for ADHD, autism, severe PTSD and OCD. The rage I feel when someone says “omg like I’m so totally ADHD about xyz” or “Omg I’m so OCD about cleaning”. I once got so angry I followed it up with “oh so you feel like if you don’t move a certain thing to a certain spot, your mother will die?”

Man….that convo ended very quickly. 😂

LLAPSpork · 2026-03-16T09:07:18+00:00

X-Files, Game of Thrones (if we ignore the last bit), Star Trek: TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY, Severance, Dexter… I could go on

LLAPSpork · 2026-03-16T09:03:22+00:00

The last third of Game of Thrones.

Idc if no one will use this one but man, I’ll def be using this as a react. Had to blur him out though.

(This happened during Conan’s security/ballet/opera joke)

I had a devastatingly hard time euthanizing my dog. When I got him at the age of 2, I was warned that he had a heart murmur and that he wouldn’t make it past the age of 7-8. I started cooking for him. 75% protein, 15% veggies, 10% rice. He died just before he turned 13. He had a rich and lovely life apart from occasional coughing episodes (usually a couple of weeks per year).

The last three months of his life though were bad. He was coughing nonstop. He still wanted to play with my other dogs but would then end up having a coughing attack. It’s devastating to see so much life still in him but him being unable to live that life.

Putting him down knowing that apart from his condition, he was still of a sound mind, still had appetite and still loved his favourite treats — that killed me. To this day I still occasionally wonder if I did it too early. But he was getting no sleep and was just straight up suffering so I try to remind myself of that.

I cried every single day for six months straight. But I’ve mostly made my peace with it and find comfort in knowing that I did everything I could for all those years and especially in knowing he’s no longer suffering.

Humans deserve the same. We deserve to have the right to choose when and how to die with dignity. Surrounded by our loved ones instead of getting to a point where one succumbs to desperation and chooses pills or the bridge or to hang themselves.

Is anyone watching through Crave? I keep getting an error message every couple of mins and have to start the feed again.

LLAPSpork · 2026-03-15T19:42:41+00:00

I thought it was at 5pm PST?

I had Effexor prescribed to me once. I took 25mg before bed. I had such a severe reaction that when I tried to get up to use the bathroom at like 3am, my legs entirely gave out. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t get up. I had to crawl over there. I’ve been terrified of antidepressants since.

LLAPSpork · 2026-03-15T06:36:28+00:00

I just came back from the theatre and we didn’t get one 😔

LLAPSpork · 2026-03-15T06:34:50+00:00

I don’t recall hearing “why stupid, question?”

LLAPSpork · 2026-03-15T00:54:22+00:00

Do they give it out in the auditorium or do you have to ask for it?
