I think the best use of the anachronism trope is a Knights Tale’s use of music. I know it’s his isn’t a twist ending so it’s a bit away from the question but the use of modern songs in a medieval setting should rip us out of context but it really works.

they could be watching The Wire, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, ALF, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, etc.

Don’t besmirch Days like that, wrestling is Passions for manly men.

God Damn it, Donut! Stop sewing patches on Carls vest!

Sigourney Weaver has that effect on people. I knows because I’m people.

I'd love to get a rerun of BioShock as I've never tried the remastered version. Also I'm currently listening to the third book of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. It's pretty good but I feel like the author has deeper plans for the whole series that are only getting trickled out at this point.

Cheetah’s went through a genetic bottleneck somewhere between ten and twelve thousand years ago. There may have been less than ten left at one point. Dating the Cheetah Genetic Bottleneck
My totally silly theory is that humans in fact where adopting kits at that time and help saved the species, and that’s why they’re so almost domesticated.

Webtoon’s approach vertical scroll is usually pretty good. I’m a big fan of Batman: Wayne Family Adventures so I’ve read the whole series there. Mostly the scrolling flows nicely and as the artists get experienced in the medium they develop techniques to make your eyes flow better up and down, much like comic book artists have developed techniques to move your eyes across the page.

Yeah Cena has grown in leaps and bounds as an actor. Even the growth in his skill from The Suicide Squad to season 2 of Peacemaker is really visible, and that’s because of the work he’s put in to keep up with some of the other actors. He’s great case study in someone with some natural talent who’s pushing themselves to become good. But yeah I’m bit biased as he’s the only guy I could see playing Carrot in a Discworld Guards movie and I really want that.

 

Hey Lemmings,
I’ve just finished up the second of John Scalzi’s Lock-In novels and I’m looking for some recommendations for some new books in the same vein. I’ve enjoyed a bunch of sci-fi mysteries like The Murderbot series, the I Robot novels, even Niven’s ARM stories. So throw me some more like that if you can.
