Give Mario RPG a proper sequel, you cowards. Mallow and Geno demand it.

We can’t keep pandering all art and media to the sorts of literal-minded man- and womanchildren who simply can’t understand any form of context, metaphor, or symbolism of and can only read things at face value.

I hear people say there are other people like that but... I haven’t really met many of them and I kind of feel like the phenomenon is overblown. There are certainly people who enjoy a log of the glamour of the suits and the martinis and the like on that show, and there are people who view Don Draper as an interesting…

I don’t think this is one that even needs a context explanation, because even within the episode Sterling’s peers are uncomfortable with the display. It puts the lie to this idea that this was “just a thing that people thought was okay at the time".

1987 was a banner year for the since-vanished phenomenon of the R-rated Blockbuster: Lethal Weapon, Untouchables, Predator, Beverly Hills Cop 2, Witches of Eastwick, and Robocop were all the must-see movies that year, most of them hitting in summer. For PG/P13 that summer, you had InnerSpace and then the seismic box…

I don’t think that’s a fair assessment of Maverick’s arc, which is actually pretty textbook. At the beginning of the movie he is motivated by the memory of his dead father, ostensibly disgraced during Vietnam. Maverick thinks he can come out from his father’s shadow by being the best fighter pilot in the Navy. He…

Alfred did not drive the Norse out, BUT... he did stop the Viking invasions to the South with a very decisive victory, unified the independent Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that were not Norse occupied under Wessex, and recognized the Danelaw (the Norse occupied parts of England) as a legal entity in exchange for the…

It depends on when in Alfred’s reign all this happens, but yes, I wonder if (given the focus on the Sinister Advisor Dude at Alfred’s elbow) they’re going to make the Templars the driving force behind Alfred’s uniting the Saxon kingdoms and driving out the Danes?

I haven’t got it all worked out, but if Lalo knows Jimmy got ambushed then that means somebody saved Saul’s ass. When Lalo goes looking for someone to thank for saving Saul, none of his friends will say they did it. If Lalo pulls on that thread, it leads back to Mike and Gus, who are definitely not Lalo’s friends. So…

Bidets are the way to go. We don’t wash our as**s, but wash our hands incessantly :)

You mean the jackass deadspin rushed to valiantly defend against incompetent GMs, saying he just needed an organization who would let AB be AB. That aged as well as a magary chili fart casserole.

Yeah but what if - and stay with me now - instead of that people decided to not be morons?

Ah. I appreciate a staunch anti-beard stance. “Hell No, We Won’t Grow!”

You’re allowed to be disrespectful of Bruce Lee just like you’re allowed to be disrespectful of any other famous person living or dead. You think Dick Cheney’s family liked his portrayal in Vice? Of course not. But no one cares because we don’t like him. Bruce Lee was a real human being who lived on this planet, not…

Damn man, I understand trashing on Zappa even though I think he was great - but the Grateful Dead? I don’t get that. If you “hate” the Dead I’m pretty sure you just haven’t listened to them.

Eat what you want, don’t be a judgmental douchebag.

Batman Forever was Schumacher’s first crack at Batman. It seems like directors find it hard to resist including that scene as they’re putting their stamp on the character.

You’re right...I immediately went to the rubber and stayed in the box for my duration, and I was finished long before two minutes was up. 

Steelers are paying Shazier a salary, keeping him on their health insurance, and helping his rehabilitation. Steelers are also leaving open to the door to him playing again, which may not be possible nor the best idea, but is Shazier’s goal nonetheless. And the Steelers are milking it? To get out of the grays on…

Yeah.  "As a child of the suburbs—albeit one who takes solace in the fact that I
lived the first five years of my life in Manhattan—I loathe them with a
fiery passion" may be about the douchiest thing I've read on here in a while.
