<sigh> I can’t believe I care enough to actually post this, but Jason Bateman played Ricky Schroder’s buddy Derek on Silver Spoons. He then went on to star in The Hogan Family. I need to reevaluate my life.

Why would the removal of the stone immediately render the vibranium inert? If removing the stone takes away the metal’s property, wouldn’t mining the metal and taking it away from the stone have the same effect? Anyways, they can make up whatever rules they want about their magic metal. They can say that the metal’s…

There was no way Killmonger was going to walk into Wakanda with an outsider girlfriend. Klaue’s mistake was not realizing Killmonger was already planning to murder her.

The Jedi forbade their love. The dark side would have let them be together. That’s all we needed.

I’ll wear my suit jacket over whatever the hell I’m wearing to the airport, because I carry on and stuffing my suit jacket in my carry on suitcase gets it all wrinkled.

Urban homeless are seen as a nuisance to Starbuck’s upscale and wannabe upscale clientele. Urban homeless don’t have credit cards. No cash = no poors classing down the place.

Pretty sure the proper plural of Guy Fieri is “Guys Fieri.”

Two really important points:

But with baseball, the fact that there’s so many damn games is a bit liberating, because you can completely let go of the compulsion to watch every damn game. It’s there for me if I want to catch a ballgame, but if I miss one, no big deal, there’s another game tomorrow AGAINST THE SAME TEAM.

Hey Dodger fans - sorry for spoiling Vin Scully and Friends Wacky Wednesday Skit Show (baseball game to follow, time allowing)

Isn’t the Columbus-Day-as-Italian-Pride mashup a New York City thing?

It doesn’t matter if Deckard is a replicant. It matters that humans and replicants are so similar, that we wonder if Deckard is a replicant.

My read is that their more worried about an “angry black lesbian” helping rally Republican voters (aka disillusioned Trumpists) in a cycle where Dems are counting on depressed Republican turnout. “Just run the bland-ass generic white lady, and somehow Republicans will forget to vote.” It’s a lame, chickenshit strategy…

There’s folks that are nostalgic for American Graffiti, Happy Days, and the Stray Cats, so probably.
