Same. I’m glad they’re still doing Happy! for the moment, but otherwise it seems like they’re focusing on stuff like This is Us, which I couldn’t give less of a shit about. 

I get it, his movies still often have that Irish-playwright-trying-to-get-how-rural-Southerners talk vibe, but I still enjoy them. I will say, I think he’s better as a playwright. The Pillowman is my favorite play of all time, and Lieutenant of Inishmore was the most fun I’ve had at a play in a long time. Go ahead and…

That’s not fair. He usually trips over his own dick, then kicks himself in the balls as he’s falling. Get it right.

Exactly. I think of myself as a person that is usually pretty sympathetic to others. I’ve literally (really, literally) audibly apologized to two doors that were closing ahead of me in the past month. But I wouldn’t piss on Sarah Huckabee Sanders if she was on fire.

Ah, frisee... the awkward lettuce

I used to work with a guy that microwaved fish. I like to think he was playing the long game, since he eventually was given his own office on a different floor, because there were so many complaints about the smell on ours.

That’s insanity. If you’re drinking shitty beer at a dive in Boston, it’s going to be Narragansett, whether you like it or not.

I take it you haven’t met my grandpa, then.

I went to Belgium a few years ago and discovered what I should’ve known for a long time: Belgian beer is universally godawful. It has a weird aftertaste that I hate. I would take a Schlitz over any of those beers in a heartbeat.

I’ll add another, very extreme example: TV on the Radio’s acapella cover of Mr. Grieves. I despise acapella, for countless reasons. I wouldn’t piss on acapella if it was on fire. But I like this version better than the original Pixies version.

I never saw Boss Baby (does watching The Young Pope count?) but I was sort of curious about what the hell it was about. So I read the Wikipedia plot synopsis. It is exactly, if not more, as non-sensical as you probably imagine.

True, McDonagh has always been almost trollishly offensive in a lot of his works (see below for one of many examples). I think what my co-workers disliked about it was that they thought it seemed like an Irish playwright’s idea of what the rural American south was like. Which is true. But it was still really good, so,…

Why would she feel the need to do that? I’m pretty confident the majority of people in that room didn’t drive themselves there, no need for a car.

Christ. I had the same idea when I was in 1st grade. My dad noticed and told me “making someone’s job harder when you don’t have to is not something good people do.” It clicked, immediately I realized I was being a little asshole, and that was that. This turd, though...

Seriously, did anybody think that Boss Baby was going to win? And I’ve honestly never heard of any of the others.

I was surprised it was so polarizing. I saw it opening weekend because I love Martin McDonagh and thought it was great. Two co-workers saw it a few days later and despised it.

When Reese Witherspoon was up on stage next for the Big Little Lies acceptance and gave her feminism spiel, I was thinking “Reese, I agree with what you’re saying and I’m really glad that people are becoming more comfortable with calling this bullshit out. But you’re following Oprah, no way anyone is going to top…

I first heard them on the Repo Man soundtrack. Great soundtrack, great movie.
