Having said that, I am sure it will be very beautiful and well-shot. But so was the original (which still stands up 100%), and it did not leave me wanting more of the world. Minus the incredibly poorly-executed rapey Deckard/Rachel scene, it’s damn near perfect.

The replicants have a 4 year life span in the original, which provided the time pressure that pushed the film’s events to happen. Which means they’ll have to either a) state definitively that Deckard is not a replicant (boo) b) explain how Deckard survived another 30 years despite having a 4 year life span (weak) or…

The fact that Deckard is in the film at all answers the question, which is why I won’t see this. The film will need to do some serious expositional gymnastics just to justify his presence, and I won’t risk having my favorite film retroactively changed (this is a rare instance where a sequel can actually affect the…

Regardless of how one feels about their music, PJ gets a pass from me for properly releasing not just one warts-and-all concert, but hundreds of them. Embracing the bootleg mentality and getting ahead of it by putting them out officially can obviously be regarded solely as a business decision—“the recordings exist…

I can’t take credit for it. Kimmel or Colbert said it the other night on TV I read. Still it is pretty dam good.

Well done.

In all honesty, I don’t know how anyone with a conscience can keep watching after seeing that.

No offense taken. It’s not your fault I suffer from R. Kelly peeing on me.

“Lock her up! Lock her up!”

Huh, that’s one of those misheard lyrics that I never heard myself, that I’m now sure I will never stop hearing from hear on out.

Not being a longtime Primus fan I once had the pleasure of sticking my foot in my mouth in front of the band when I observed that people were screaming “Primus Sucks” despite being at a Primus concert. They just looked vaguely disappointed.

Primus sucks

They tracked it down to one non-Islamic-terrorist dude and his complicated series of shell companies and the show became “US government versus Shadowy Underworld terrorists with a Vague Ideology” rather than “yep, all the terrorists are white guys who work for a fictional version of Islamic State” like they were…

William, do you find this game increasing your appreciation for football as a sport? This is CLEARLY not the best year to get into it, but I found Tiger Woods in ‘05 made me appreciate watching golf more AND made me a better golfer, weirdly. And FIFA definitely got me attached to certain players from playing.

Let’s Forget Some Guys

The 2017 New York Jets: Where Are They Now?

The NFC North remembers.

“Reek eyed the hot dog. It was topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweetpickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers and a dash of celery salt. But not, thank the Many-Faced God, with ketchup. That obscenity would be too much to bear.”

In the pantheon of great but deeply underappreciated character actors, John Carroll Lynch surely ranks near the top. Few actors are able to make such memorable impressions with often only a handful of scenes.
