Translation: Please kindly stop doing the thing that we somehow had zero foresight would happen in spite of it being a technological inevitability and our licensing contract with our celebrities models exposes us to liability because our lawyers are as bad at their jobs as our game designers. K, thanx.

“Jackson renders his elaborate digital effects with cleanliness and concrete form, never giving the all-too-common impression that you’re just watching a pixelated mess onscreen.”

Perhaps instead of naming it the Murky Parrot, you could name it for the murkiest parrot, and call it an Iago. Will you be surprised at how delicious it is?

I bought chambord to make a raspberry coulis for a trifle at Christmas (what can I say, we’ve binged *a lot* of British cooking during quarantine) and I am delighted to now realize that I could and should be making chambord sours with what’s left over. Ooh, and kirsch sours with the leftover from this summer’s black fo…

I could totally see a Clannad-type band that produces ambient versions of sea shanties called Ambergris. 

In a college screenwriting class we had an assignment where the professor spun a wheel to determine the characters, setting, and plot of what you had to write. I got Ivy League college, an autistic man and his prodigal son older brother, commercial fishing. Somewhere in the research process I clicked on a fishing…

Assuming the other branch of government is the House of Muggles? 

Think of how many more copies of Harry Potter Simmons would have sold it he’d ever gotten those blasted photos of Spider-Man. Parker!

Yeah that was the moment I knew I could take the rest of this review with a grain of salt. 

“...whatever magic it conjures up in the shared communal space of a holiday theater very much doesn’t translate to the small screen.”

This sounds amazing! This year our town changed its Christmas parade from the usual sit and stand on Main St. variety to parades on five nights of the week, winding their way through several neighborhoods so everyone could just sit in their driveways, socially distant. I still had some cider leftover from brining the T…

This is so zeitgeisty of you! Last weekend it got cold enough for me to start thinking about cocoa, but I didn’t have any Bailey’s and I wondered if it was difficult to make, and then what to my wondering eyes should appear?!?!

There is also of course caramel sauce. Which you could combine to make a Caramel Bailey’s ice cream sundae. 

It’s been thousand rainy days  since this song first ended. It’s a big enough record groove...

Someone call the police, there’s been a murder!

I’d say Maria Bamford has been workshopping some version of this character for years.

Thank you! As like a lot of great literature, it was born of pain. 

Eric Wareheim as Coppola, and Rob Lowe wearing his Candelabra teeth and Robert Wagner Number 2 everything else as Robert Evans. 

Yeah in that he just felt like Pratt Lite. 

This episode was everything the prequels could have been if Lucas didn’t have his head so far up his sizable ass that his neck beard tickles his taint. I remember the promise of finally seeing what the Galaxy was like before the Jedi were all but wiped out, and instead getting them as lame diplomats negotiating trade…
