Some of my least favorite tropes are when there are extended periods of time where characters just don’t share information, or where you know something is going to happen and they take like half a season on it (jon snow coming back to life)...as far as a hook being large mysteries that are just dropped it really…

We could do “The Other Texan They” or “The Other Three-Armed Zabroxian” for example

Never going to understand why people keep trying to rehabilitate one of the worst movies ever made. The thrill of an actual race or even of a movie where they use real cars is completely absent, the crowd reactions are terrible, the announcer is terrible, the faces people keep pulling and the kid keep pulling are…

We are in a bad conversation if we are even observing that, because “is it actually illegal?” is a bad question to be asking in any conversation...but I will note that, as 18 is the age of majority, even if it is legal at 17, if the person is 18 at least the 38 year-old will not be looked at like a complete sex…

I did forget about that. I would say that the fact that they dated for four years makes it a little less horrible than it could be, but it’s still bad (they made it vague whether the “dating” actually started when she was 17 or 18...still once you are asking that question you are in a really bad place).  It’s not the…

Totally, but solo headlining a major network show, even a spinoff with a stupid title that is destined to be cancelled, carries with it a lot of oomph for her next project.

Replying to myself so as not to accidentally loose a gray I should not: the written lines are not great, they keep doing that “this couldn’t possibly happen in the future” corny shit...but the offhand absurdist lines kind of are making it worth continuing, the 50s kids are pretty funny, the parts that are…

she has always come across as a little unstable...trying to blackmail or destroy your trolls is not healthy, just block

I dunno, this movie is 96 minutes long, all the reviews say it has a decent number of laughs in it...if SNL makes me really laugh three or four times in an episode, it was a good episode, so I’ll probably see this.  It doesn’t have a lot of competition for comedies worth seeing right now, in film anyway (can’t wait…

I hate to pee on your parade, but I found it too trope-y...is he going to use china?  of course.  is he going to betray his dumbass best friend who plays it broader than Chris Farley ever could have?  of course.  is it just a regional-specific The Social Network?

I’m too lazy to see how many screens they put Challengers on, but I think it may average out to an unqualified hit, a lot of the theaters showing it near me were legit sold out for most of yesterday. Mike Faist has an interesting tri-straddle of virile male/twink/cuck that this seems to play right into :D

“become incapitated” man, the passive voice really ruins the fun of these show trials

Christopher Tolkien, less infamously than Brian Herbert, did some editing and stuff.  I think it has happened more than that but the comic strip example is definitely on point.

Def or The Future History EP that starts with “buh baah baaah” :D

Also worth separating out which songs on the last Apples albums are Doss songs or at least sang by Doss. Previously Schneider’s wife wrote and sang or just sang a few songs an album, then after he and his wife split Doss started being more involved it…

I was thinking Spoon also, but the “Cherry Bomb” song came to mind...I also like Elephant 6 when the weather turns, Sunshine Fix or Apples in Stereo

I’ve heard it’ll really blow your mind

fun fact: Hozier is how you say “hoser” in Quebec

i really have no interest in dead boy detectives...or HAD no interest until KHB is said to appear, maybe I’ll just find her scenes

When the right wing cancelled bud light for daring not to be transphobic, the higher ups a InBev fired most of those involved, made clear they were in fact transphobic, sponsored UFC, and got Dana White to talk Trump (probably by paying them both a lot of money) into un-cancelling them, so that’s how much the right…
