True Story: I spent years thinking that Louboutin and Louis Vuitton were just slightly different pronunciations of the same word.

Totally agree. When I look back at my older stuff, I often cringe. Though, as time goes on, the ramp has softened a bit, so I can go back further now before getting embarrassed than I once could.

What’s a Gol? Is it 3/4ths of a Golf?

This was one of those movies that I walked out of thinking “That was very well made and I never want to watch it ever again.” Not because of the gore or physical suffering stuff — though there are bits that are hard to watch — but because it’s just such a fucking joyless, plodding death-march of cinematographic…

I was confused by that too.

John Krasinski made a Michael Bay movie about Benghazi. He doesn’t get to have opinions on things anymore.

Saved his sausage more than his bacon, really.

Slightly different, but related:

Did Linda Perry murder someone in prison?

Please tell me that CALCM is pronounced “Calcium.”

That guy was great on Leverage.

If a coat looks schlubby and slovenly on a model (which, half of these do) I definitely don’t want to see it hanging on ME.

Bought it. Have only played twice, but... I think I may hate it.

Would this be a good time to link to Deadspin’s preseason evaluation of the Tide (which, for the record, I mostly, stupidly, agreed with)?

Very, very generic. Can’t really see it succeeding if it can’t differentiate itself from its competition. But hey, no one pays me to think about this stuff. Maybe they know something I don’t.

Bah. More cars should come in orange. I get so depressed when I go to check out a new model and it comes in Black, White, Dark Blue and four shades of silver. Oh, any MAYBE they give you a shitty red that looks like they color-sampled a 1992 Bonneville.

That’s a good looking Hyundai they’ve got there.

Show Me Your Tears is a seriously underrated record. And possibly the last really good record Frank Black Francis has put out. After that, what, Fastman Raider Man? Honeycomb? The Black Francis solo stuff, Grand Duchy and the Pixies reunion record? All have their moments, but I’ll take any of the Catholics records…

I know, right? Where can I place my order?

I think those poll results are more a measure of how far into the game people have gotten than anything else.
