Eh, I'm typically pretty cynical when it comes to Hollywood blockbusters. A lot of them are incredibly stupid, and not in fun or clever ways. I also think the obsession with huge-scale CG action has nearly driven artful, creative choreography, live stunts and physical effects extinct.

I don't know anything about wine, I just drink what I like. I guess the only advice I could give is that when it comes to things like this it's possible to develop your palate. The more you drink (and savour while you drink it), the better you get at tasting the nuances. Pretty much all scotch used to just taste like…

The only use left for the term is to help identify douchebags. i.e. Anyone who uses it as a slur is very likely a giant douche, who is more concerned about cultivating a feeling of superiority to others than real, actual hipsters are.

Wow, sad. That dude needs to get out of the basement once in awhile and get a life. Maybe cam girls wouldn't bother him so much if he logged off once in awhile?

My choice of line is irrelevant, because I always manage to end up behind either someone who doesn't understand how interac works and needs to be walked through it by the cashier step-by-step at least twice, or someone who is pretty sure that can of peas is 15 cents cheaper than what the register is saying, and will…

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like I'm assuming all the women there are straight. I should have worded my comment more carefully. The point I was driving at was just that the organizers of the party were clearly only interested in thrilling the attendees who were into naked women (and though that…

The point of an office party is supposed to be to show the employees some appreciation for all their hard work. How do you think the women felt when they showed up, and there were tits bouncing around? It was obviously a thrill intended for the men, with no thought given to the women or what they might enjoy.

Yeah, exactly.

LOL, half-naked women body-painted to look like they're wearing armour. Could you come up with a more stereotypical game nerd wet dream?

Why waste one's time and energy formulating cohesive, intelligent statements in response to religious rambling? Logical? Haha...the opinions of the Pope (and people like you) essentially boil down to "I believe in this magic man in the sky and when I pray to him he tells me that being gay is wrong". Constructing…

Is he scummier than the restaurant owners who get away with paying hardworking waitstaff FAR below minimum wage in the first place? Or than the industry lobbyists who campaign to keep those abuses of payroll law legal?

That's awesome! I would love to do that occasionally with some of the local businesses I particularly like. I think I'd feel super self-conscious, though. Like if it were some cute barrista, I'd be afraid she'd think I was trying to impress her by dropping a $20 in the tip jar.

Some of this reflects badly on Apple, in terms of apparently not having any clue what their management is doing. Most of this just reflects badly on the employees themselves.

It was a mixed bag, for me, but overall I think it's worth watching. Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass are the best things in it, in my opinion.

Oh my god, that GIF just cracked me up. Best thing ever.

Ok, haven't read the article in question or any of the analysis. So this may or may not actually apply to this specific situation. But I've seen similar scenarios before:

This one might be my favorite.

I really wish I could go back in time and show 18-year-old me stuff like this. I think I could have shaken off all that Nice Guy bullshit a lot sooner.

My girlfriend got one of these recently as a gag gift. I was curious to see how far interactive robot toys had come in the past few years. As it turns out, not very far. It basically just babbles the same strings of nonsense over and over again in response to voice stimulation, dances and sings if it detects music,…

I had mixed feelings about the LotR movies, and I expect I'll feel the same about the Hobbit. Based on the criticisms I tend to have of movies like this, I suspect I'll end up sharing a lot of Kirk's sentiments. We shall see.
