Having finally seen Her, I'm surprised to find the distinct lack of chatter this film is generating among genre fans. This film takes an existential look at the (potential? inevitable?) singularity, and shows viewers the future of video gaming. Be warned, there be spoilers here (although not about the main plot).

Dancing Marshawn Lynch is the perfect ending to Super Bowl XLVIII
Beast Mode continues to prove he's just 'bout that action, boss.
This is Marshawn Lynch answering questions — kinda — in the locker room after winning the Super Bowl, and it's pretty much the best thing ever.
But, wait. Enhance! We need to talk about something.

9/11 conspiracy theorist interrupts Super Bowl MVP's press conference

Marshawn Lynch still doesn't have much to say
The Seahawks just won the first Super Bowl in franchise history. Marshawn Lynch was obviously excited ... based on his postgame comments.
Marshawn Lynch is a man of few words ... wait, we've had this discussion already, right? Beast Mode now has a Super Bowl win to add to his resume, but that didn't change his approach to press conferences.
Here's what Lynch had to say after the game:
"Dream come true."
"Kicked it all off boss."
"Man, they know how I feel about it. This is big time. This has been a tradition since I came, since forever. Everybody knows it. They respect it."
"Next to being born."
And that's it. Good thing the PFWA don't get a discount on pitchforks and torches with their memberships.

The Tebow prophecy
Tim Tebow is having a pretty good night, all told. The Denver Broncos are not. You know where this is going, right?
Relative to his former Denver Broncos teammates, and in general, Tim Tebow is having a pretty good Super Bowl. He is starring in a series of commercials for T-Mobile that are pretty funny, and he's pretty funny in them. Wherever he is, Tebow is at literally zero risk of having Brandon Mebane fall on him. And he is not quarterbacking the team receiving a world-historic beatdown on national television. All good, right?
Except of course not. Even a broke-armed lightning rod will get zapped every now and then, and as such Twitter is now lit up with people who see an element of divine retribution in what's happening to Peyton Manning and the Broncos in the Super Bowl. This started, in fact, just 12 seconds into the game.
That safety was God's punishment on the Broncos for getting rid of Tebow.
— Todd Hiestand (@toddhiestand) February 2, 2014
And it mostly hasn't stopped since:
The Broncos SHOULD have had Tebow under contract tonight. God would not let this blowout happen. #tebow @SuperBowl
— Steve Simon (@SteveSimon39) February 3, 2014
My uncles theory on why the broncos haven't scored is bc they got rid of tebow and he is a man of god and this is god punishing them
— ry (@ryanngiampietro) February 3, 2014
What, the Broncos thought God was just going to shrug it off when they ditched Tim Tebow?
— Rob Tychkowski (@Sun_Tychkowski) February 3, 2014
If Denver still had Tebow, they'd have God on their side and if they had God, this would be a different game
— Louis DeVito (@LDeVitorules) February 3, 2014
This is God's righteous judgement on the Broncos for not keeping Tim Tebow... #Superbowl
— Daniel Amico (@Firestryke2) February 3, 2014
God is mad at the Broncos for trading Tim Tebow
— Phil Caffee (@phil_caffee) February 3, 2014
THEY CUT TEBOW! GOD DONT LIKE UGLY!lol!
— Ron G (@ComedianRonG) February 3, 2014
I really liked Tebow. No one respected him because he was true to God and himself. But today that's not cool. Well look now, you're losing
— Alex Van Der Linden (@A__VanDerLinden) February 3, 2014
The reason the Broncos are losing is because God isn't on there side because Tebow is gone pic.twitter.com/ruFAhmwUpU

Tebow got a Super Bowl commercial & the broncos losing look at god
— Young Black Jesus (@zekNcashe) February 3, 2014
So, are there actually humans who believe that this game is a thorough and brutal and robustly GIF-able reaping of what the team sowed when they parted ways with Tebow? Or are they just dunking a fat lob of a joke, like so many Seahawks linebackers spiking interceptions over the uprights?
As usual with Tebow circa now, it's tough to know for sure who is in on the joke and who isn't. But given that even Tebow can laugh at himself and his present situation, it makes those who still see him as The Chosen Passer that much more... is admirable the word? I think it might be.

Okay, by just looking at the artwork I deduce that all Holmes and Watson are doing 24/7 is basically sitting around in chairs while judging everything (unless they get up to judge more ppl).
I mean, seriously:

@gguillotte >> @lapcat: At this point, I don't think that the Broncos could win the Puppy Bowl.
@gguillotte: DEN: No team has lost that badly in a #superbowl in 21 years (1993, Bills lost 52-17). No team has scored that few points in a Super Bowl in 13 years (2001, Giants lost 34-7).
2014 Super Bowl score: Percy Harvin returns kickoff for TD, Seahawks lead 29-0
The Seahawks hold a dominant 29-0 lead over the Denver Broncos in the third quarter, as the Seattle special teams decided to get in on the act.
The Seattle Seahawks got the second half started in much the same way they played the first: making the Denver Broncos look silly just 12 seconds into it. Wide receiver Percy Harvin fielded the kickoff in the third quarter, a kick that was meant to bounce and prevent Harvin from running the football back for a touchdown.
So Harvin ran the football back for a touchdown. Twelve seconds into the second half, the Seahawks hold a 29-0 lead over the Broncos. Twelve seconds also marked the Seahawks' first score in the first half, when a snap went flying over Peyton Manning's shoulder for a safety that was a sign of things to come.
The Broncos looked to be putting together an offensive drive that wasn't destined for ruin prior to halftime. They converted on multiple first downs and finally had a drive going, but it ended with a turnover on downs. The Broncos' first several drives ended in a safety, three-and-out, interception and then a pick-six. The following drive almost resulted in a fumble on the kickoff, but finished with the turnover on downs after a failed fourth-down conversion well within field goal range.
And now you have the special teams blunder. The clock is ticking for the Broncos.
