Yeah, I think you’re trying too hard to convey, “It’s....nice....buuuuuuut....”

The problem is, I am the target audience for this kind of device, or at least I should be. I’m deeply entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, I live in a household with multiple iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, and a sizable chunk of my digital content purchased through Apple. I use Apple Music, I already have a deep iTunes…

So, in short:

“Not a lot of people know this, but that pizza box was empty. It was a real challenge to give it the appearance of weight while holding it for the sake of verisimilitude.....Oh, and that’s a stunt dick right there.”

I remember seeing him on lists of the highest paid touring performers and being surprised that he was kicking the asses of some of the hottest bands of the day, until I realized that he kind of hit the profitability sweet spot. His fans are all baby boomers (the demographic with the most disposable income), the…

I feel like I need to start putting together a list of “So You’ve Seen Porn: Here’s the Reality” bulletpoints for my kids.

I’m calling “troll.”

Yup.

YouTube Red is such a double-edged sword for me. I love it most days, but whenever I stray into “young person talking to their phone” territory, I wind up with a kneejerk hatred for all Millennials that I know is probably unfair and based on a small handful of non-representative outliers that WHAT THE HELL?! GET THAT…

Yeah, I think you’re confusing a really basic, good faith effort by a single website to moderate its own content with some far-sweeping effort to eradicate all of [insert bad thing here] for all people everywhere. The Catholic Church can’t eliminate masturbation everywhere, but I’m sure they’re pretty good at…

Spoiler alert: In the future, I keep right on saying stuff.

I think I’m going to slightly annoyed by how much his gravelly, self-serious Cable voice reminds me of his gravelly, self-serious Thanos voice and vice versa.

Right? I mean, if you can’t stop the technology altogether or police the entire Internet, then why bother moderating your own website at all? Any rule that’s possible to thwart isn’t worth having, amiright? If you can’t provide a total, instant solution, embrace the problem! High five, brah. Now let’s go watch Fake…

It’s not a news outlet’s job to actively ignore a newsworthy thing to further an agenda of making the newsworthy thing stop being news. At a certain level, every news outlet makes a determination as to what “stuff” is important enough or popular enough to merit exposure, and relevance should be the litmus test, not a…

Cool. Thanks, bud.

Actually, just the opposite is true. The movie theater wants you to sit through every minute of that movie. The theater doesn’t make very much money at all on ticket sales. Most of that (70-80%) goes right back to the studio. The theaters only survive on food and drink sales. That’s why you pay $8 for a quarter’s…

Yeah, I wasn’t bothered by the way the afterlife was presented, insofar as its ambivalence about human morality or the bleak fatalism of it all. It was just the “Okay...Now what?” of it all. It felt like a non-ending.

Yeah, this definitely reminds me of the early reactions to Wonder Woman. I saw that, and I thought it was good, probably even very good. I thought it had some very apparent flaws, but that it was better than any of the other post-Dark Knight DCU movies and probably as good as a Wonder Woman movie could be without…

I find it interesting that you thought Revival had a really good payoff. Stephen King has always had trouble sticking the landing; his difficulties in writing a satisfying ending for otherwise amazing books is almost legendary at this point. It used to be the exception (i.e., The Stand), but now it’s almost become the…

I agree, and I actually thought of that after I posted my comment, as I started thinking about the waning quality of the last few Dark Tower books. He definitely shoehorned in Roland and the gang to pad out a pretty thin piece of work and market an otherwise underwhelming fairy tale to Dark Tower completionists.
