Yeah, the very best break-ups are the ones where the dumpee gets it right away and basically says, “Okay, we’re done here.”

Brooklyn has some of the best BBQ around [NYC]. The problem is that the bar is set ridiculously low, and most of the more popular BBQ joints are really just a step or two above an Applebee’s rib sampler. New York restaurateurs just have an odd habit of aggressively patting themselves on the back whenever they get…

Season 4...at some point. God, I don’t even know. They were still at the prison, I want to say? About half the characters had become grating, and I’d lost all interest in the other half. Watching had just become a chore. It had become kind of a paint-by-numbers thing, where (if I recall correctly), you’d have the main…

“They’re a prop for dramatic play. These kids are exploring issues of power because they’re at an age when they realize they don’t have any. People tell them when to go to bed, when to get up, when to go to school. They’re trying to figure out, ‘What power do I have?’”

I mean, you could be right, and I’m not the guy to say, “Your theory is stupid, and you’re stupid for sharing it,” because it’s a legitimately interesting observation that may wind up being correct. If I had to counter (I don’t; this is self-indulgent bullshitting), I’d say that any plot point that could be that…

I’ve always been amused when a waitress is overly flirtatious right in front of my wife when I happen to know that my wife is likely to be the one paying on that particular occasion.

But since they’re able to do pretty much the exact same thing later in the movie with snow, I’m not sure that’s significant.

You omitted the fact that you’ll be able to buy a $500 Hot Toys super-detailed replica of it after the movie comes out.

Oh, it’s the realest.

“People of Earth, Thanos accepts your gratitude!”

I don’t think the Soul Stone is in Wakanda. I think it will be missing until the third act of Avengers 4, after Thanos has collected all of the other Infinity Stones, and the Avengers are scrambling to find the last one before he can. At some point, Tony Stark will freak out, screaming, “If it’s not in Wakanda, where…

She was actually really good, but I don’t think the SNL writers ever wrote anything with her specifically in mind. She was a really reliable “utility player” who could be counted on to deliver lines with great tone and timing, react to others’ lines in way that was neither boring nor over the top, and do serviceable…

Huh...Sounds like there’s a lot of extra footage... That’s...interesting...

I was transitioning careers right after my oldest was born, and I remember asking a headhunter whether there were any options that would allow me to work from home, but also essentially be the primary caregiver during the daytime (i.e., no nanny, day care, etc.). She said, “You can do both. You can be a stay-at-home…

Yeah, I couldn’t tell you how much time Alexa saves or how much harder it would really be without it, but being able to flip distractions (music, TV, etc.) on and off on the fly really helps, especially if you need to snag moments of productivity in 10-15 minute bursts.

Essentially, I’m just asking for foolproof, outsider parenting advice that’s applicable across all children — but specifically, mine.

But I’ve never seen Amy Sherald’s work before—and after seeing photographs of her enigmatic rendering of Michelle Obama, I am desperate to.

I had a sorta-kinda-similar thing happen to me. We had spent the summer apart working at internships on opposite coasts, and we were returning to the same school for the fall semester. The plan was for me to pick her up at the airport and for us to go to a venue nearby, where one of our favorite bands was playing the…

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

“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.”
