Is it called a Second Serve because it’s less lethal than a Smash? If you made a virgin version would it be an Underhand or a Lob?

Yep. Strong Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes vibes.
In this time period there is no longer any jibba from Jabba.
Use Baileys, throw in some mulling spice, and call the drink A Wonderful Life.
You can have your flying, or invisibility, or transmutability, but right now to my mind the most useful superpower to have would be Albie Singer’s from Annie Hall. If only every time one of these fucking asshats misrepresents something a founding father or a civil rights leader said, we could go voila! and there’s… Read more
And none of it would have been possible without Cliff Gardner!
I hope Gregg’s has changed their slogan to “If Piers Morgan hates it, it must be good!”.
There *are* cops in Miami, they’re just all from Dexter’s precinct and completely oblivious to all crimes happening directly under their noses.
I am pleased to see the AVClub’s style guide favors the correct pluralization of Perd Hapley. Read more
Hi gang! I haven’t played many video games in a while. In fact, the only game my wife and I have played with any regularity is L4D2. It’s very much a bonding activity for us, and so we were super excited for this game. Except, I guess we’re old now and they’ve changed co-op, and there’s no way to play together if you… Read more
If only Christina Ricci had gotten them to change the ending of Values, it could have been a perfect film. The whole monologue at the end is set up so perfectly for the Addamses to realize that Debbie belongs in the family, that’s what would be emotionally true, but somehow it’s like this cop-out Hayes Code, we have… Read more

This. The dude literally moved to a farm in Ohio to get away from his fans.
He doesn’t even get a lousy copy of the home game. He’s a complete loser.
Hoisted on his own Picard?
“I’ll take Self-Owns for $1,200, Ken.” Read more
I call bullshit. Jeopardy’s ratings are 8.7 million viewers. Ken Jennings has 475,000 Twitter followers. Exactly what percentage of this supposed focus group even knew Jennings had made that tweet, let alone were turned off by it? Richards didn’t pick Jennings for the same reason he didn’t pick anyone else, because… Read more
I agree, and not just because I’m an unintended extra in it!
IT did lead to more lasting technological devices however. One could say that it bridged from older single person transport devices to more modern ones, a segue if you will.
I remember tuning into Oprah, sure IT was going to be a hydrogen engine that was going to make fossil fuels obsolete, and then seeing what if actually was being so disappointed.
