Black Hole Satellite "Mysteriously" Reappears

It's a grain of salt. Get it?

After a sudden disappearance Japan's Hitomi satellite is back in sporadic contact.. According to the US Air Force there was no sign of a collision causing the lack of communication. That it's possible a coolant leak or some other on board mechanical failure was responsible.

or....

OR.....

OR..........

Metal.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love SMBC?

Cuz I do. So much. Zachary Weinersmith is a like a comedy writer from a utopic future where philosophy and dick jokes are one and the same.

This just in: GTA VI in development.

Also the sky is blue and bears sh*t in the woods.

At least LEGO Batman looks like a solid movie.

No seriously, watch an animated Batman be vastly superior to the theatrical counterpart for like... the third time. Anything that lets Ralph Fiennes be funny is getting money out of me regardless. And don't be calling BVS a "Superman" movie. That's a lie and you know it.

I watched all of The Expanse in 2 days.

My thoughts on it are not... negative.

Holy CRAP, The Expanse, you guys...

Update: (So... that was the greatest anti-gravity death I've ever seen.)

I've become a fair weather The Magicians fan, so I thought I'd give The Expanse a look. I wasn't expecting the moon from it. I mean, it's not like there's a space opera out there that's gunning for Game of Thrones quality and I'd somehow missed the boat... is there?

I can't say what I've seen is "great" but it's really good. There's tens of millions of dollars of effects work on display. Enough to make The Magicians (no slouch in the budget department) look like a side bet. Seriously, there should be way more critics at least talking about it. Also, leave it to Johnathan Banks for taking your expectations from years of Mike and obliterating them in 2 minutes flat. I'm gonna have to see this whole thing through now.

They're adapting The Talented Mr. Ripley with the guy who wrote Luthur!

After Hannibal I've warmed to the idea of TV becoming the best place for difficult storytelling. You know, envelope pushing stuff only movies were capable of a lifetime ago. Seeing as how balls out amazing Fuller's Hannibal was, I'm confident Neil Cross can accomplish some equally interesting work. Luthur was an English police procedural that dabbled heavily in unique serial killers and penny dreadful histrionics. Brilliantly so.

If you haven't seen Matt Damon's swing at the character, I'd rectify that situation immediately.
