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.

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…

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…

Came here to say the same thing. “If I woke up and took a poo, I might write ‘Woke up, had to poo, so I went to the loo.’ or ‘Telephone, continues to ring, don’t I pay someone to answer the bloody thing?’ And if you can string enough of those together that fit a melody, why they’ll just hand you a gold record, gear…

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.”

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…

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. 

The Implied Pot Odds Calculator.

That’s so bizarre they keep saying poker, and in some scenes he’s playing poker, but being able to count cards is of almost no use in poker (unless you’re playing seven card stud, and even there it’s not super important). Counting cards is a blackjack skill. 

I remember the first time I heard Tangerine Dream, trying to imagine the far-off worlds and times the music seemed to be describing. Tonight felt like the culmination of that imagining. 

Hey Sam, i hope you get to recap Season 2. It makes for better recaps when the person doing it actually has fun with the material instead of complaining about all the ways it didn’t go where they wanted it to. 

As far as the Jessica Jones one, I half-jokingly said after the last episode that if the Thanos-copter is canon now I guess so is Hellcat. 

That’s awesome, thank you. Also, whoa! so Marvel gets to have its Kang cake and eat some Young Avengers world building at the same time? Dope!

I remember seeing Bugs Life in the theater. The lights go down, there’s a beautiful shot of a city park, and the animation is already so far ahead of Toy Story. Then it turns out it’s actually Geri’s Game, incredibly clever and sweet. But soon I hear fidgeting next to me and a loud whisper, “Dad! Where’re the bugs?”…
