I dunno about you, but last time I watched a vertical video on my phone it was a vertical video letterboxed into a horizontal frame on a vertical screen, so the damned thing was smaller than a postage stamp.

Disagree, I think they're smart and assholes separately.

She said he turned into a total bastard at puberty though and they had to get rid of him

Outdoors is for raccoons, indoors is for cats. It's not the raccoon's fault you let your cat out into their territory, or that your cat's dumb enough to fight four raccoons. (Hint: all cats are dumb enough to fight four raccoons.)

Internet, I have to tell you, renaming raccoons "trash pandas" is one of the better things you've done lately. Great job!

This attitude seems to be pervasive among police, too. They always speak in professional tones about serious analysis of the situation and last-resort use of violence, but when some of them speak to the media or are caught on camera, it's obvious that some(*) of them are thrilled that today's the day they got to…

Sir/ma'am, if nobody gets your reference, just consider that five upvotes from me.

Bowl of Brown.

My Mom had a hard time finding a preschool that met her exacting standards. One day I came home very upset because I had to color a picture of a dog, and they made me color it brown even though my dog was white (Samoyed). And then the next day they made me color the football green.

He had a great retirement, now he's throwing it all away.

How about just about every moment of The Last Unicorn? Jesus christ is that a scary movie.

Time to fire up my elevator pitch for The Walking Dead: Honolulu again. Nowhere to run to, lots of local flavor (secessionist native Hawaiian enclaves, military bases full of heavy weapons), the dichotomy of tropical paradise plus postapocalyptic nightmare, and a real chance for the heroes to win permanently … if…

After the 2000 election, some of my friends said exactly what @avclub-98ee3569ee1cc83f32587edbfb0b857a:disqus is saying. Mostly the ones who'd voted for Nader. And look how that shit turned out.

I think you miss some of the context by just watching the clip. For instance, the episode listing strongly hinted at a major character death, and the whole thing was full of morose piano music, editing that focused too long on set pieces and emotional reaction shots … the whole thing just screamed A Very Special…

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me another dozen times, and I must be a Walking Dead fanboy.

Yeah, because in my experience, people tend to react well to that.

Yeah, well, zombie apocalypse would have been a niche product 15 years ago. Seriously, if The Walking Dead can get ten million eyeballs watching a callback to George Romero, I don't see why this can't succeed with a callback to Bruce Lee.

Yeah, the world-building is really interesting, and I'm always up for some kung-fu, but the foley is a little bit too stomach-churning for me.

Same here. I was really hoping there was more to this plan of keeping the zombies from getting out by letting the zombies out.

The basic problem is that zombies are just not very dangerous, so they have always had to wallpaper over that with bad scriptwriting, from day one.
