Hallway. Would have to be a hallway. Those guys LOVE them some hallways.

There aren’t “hints” of his own Batman theme. It’s the most frequently recurring motif in the score by a longshot, and it kept taking me out of the movie. That might be because I didn’t know anything about the music before the movie other than reading a bit about how the Williams Superman score was referenced a little…
I now see that I was once again thwarted by Kinja and this complaint was already well-made by several people below. I leave my rant here for posterity only, I guess.
Papa Murphy’s is possibly the most useless pizza chain in human history. For those of you fortunate enough never to have encountered one, the hook is this: you have to cook the fucking pizza yourself. Their entire business model is, essentially, “We sell frozen pizza, but not frozen, so it’s better!” And people…
Batman: Arkham Knight frequently irritated the hell out of me, but when that line from “Nothing to Fear” got busted out at the end of the final boss fight, I—a grown ass man in his 30s with a job and an education and a mortgage—teared up a little bit with simple joy and started unironically applauding in my living…
I was interested to learn that God is dead but he’ll be reborn in Miami, yes.
I am slightly wistful. Somewhere in my parents’ house is a box with the first 40 or so issues, as well as all of the spinoff miniseries from the first few years. I have fond memories of that stuff. I got a copy of the first regular series issue as a gift on my 9th or 10th birthday and bought a subscription and copies…
I would like to thank Burneko for introducing the phrase “jump-kicked in the dick” into my life. I am going to casually drop it in conversations as much as possible for the foreseeable future.
Potential dick jump-kicking conversation starters:
It’s open to interpretation, but I’m guessing they’re doing Castlevania III, since I see what appears to be versions of three of the game’s four playable characters. (I’m not 100% on whether or not Alucard’s in there...)
Osteria, on Franklin. Walked past them on the way back from lunch. Seriously thought I hallucinated that shit.
The general consensus is that he didn’t run anything at the draft, and that Sean McDermott called all the shots. It leaked last Wednesday that the scouting staff was apparently aware that they were all about to be fired.
I’m surprised they didn’t have another ambulance on site. Most buildings I’ve been in have two on site; not because of situations like this, but because it’s unbelievably awkward to have an ambulance on site and visible that can’t be used in the event of a serious medical problem for a guest because that might stop…
Yeah, I don’t see how Bucknor getting on the PA and announcing “I actually don’t know the rules of baseball, and I was actually trying to call intentional grounding on Verlander” over and over is going to improve the game experience.
I think that might be more a function of Starcrash being a shameless Star Wars rip-off than anything else, though.
With you on this. The TV miniseries came out when I was in grade school, and I watched it against parental orders. I was absolutely TERRIFIED of it, and was legit afraid of clowns for years as a result.
Watched it again on VHS in high school and was, uh, considerably less affected by it. (I might have been high. It…
Also, it looks like you are the guy keeping NHL hockey in Arizona, so I want to give you props for that. Hang in there, man. You deserve a lot better.
And, yes, “crushingly boring” is a wild exaggeration, but... hey, Deadspin!
There are no NHL franchises in the locations you speak of.
Seriously, though: empirically, it’s lower scoring, and while we’re not quite at a pre-’05 lockout clutch-and-grab game, as a lifelong NHL fan I’m starting to get a little bit bored again. The league keeps trending that way, and it’s been like that for awhile…
To be “fair,” it sort of got overshadowed by Rasmus Ristolainen murdering Jake Guentzel a little later in the game. But even that was a questionable hip check where Guentzel lost track of the puck about a second before Ristolainen labeled him. Crosby literally hit a guy in the dick. Is there no honor?
After Tuesday night’s brutal dick-shot to Ryan O’Reilly, he wouldn’t even come out of the dressing room to meet with his family and friends. They were escorted back to meet him, which... is not how that usually works. So, he has some sense of shame. But, seriously, what the fuck is this?
I like Crosby! He plays…
