Glad to see I’m not the only one! I quite enjoy Ultron, just recently rewatched it with my kids, and it is really great fun all the way through. Fantastic character beats for all. We started watching Civil War the other day, had to stop since it was bedtime, and haven’t gotten back to it. That was a week ago, and the…

Absolutely. The pacing is terrible. 

Yes, Hazel and Cha-Cha were definitely a highlight. 

I think he is definitely the best written, most well defined character of the show, and he has the most compelling arc. 

I finished the show, and I’m still torn. It has a great premise, and an interesting story, but the writing is so slow and cliched. Every conversation is built out of generic bits you’ve heard a million times before, the acting is not great from some parties, and the “mystery” of some of the characters is immediately…

They mostly don’t work on a laptop, either. I have had sites where a popup to subscribe and an autoplay video both interfered with each other so I couldn’t shut either off, and thus could never actually get to the recipe. Infuriating

Anansi Boys is so damn good. I liked American Gods well enough, but AB made me forever love Neil Gaiman.

I have a recent one! I remember when Lucifer first debuted, and after hearing the premise I thought “Geez that sounds stupid as hell,” pun unintended, and didn’t bother watching it. Then I kept seeing the reviews pop up on AV Club, and eventually decided to give it a try in the 3rd season. Loved it immediately, in all…

My great-Aunt in Hamburg made me goulash like this once, and it was one of my favorite meals ever. She served it with wide noodles instead of spaetzle, and afterward we ate the leftover noodles for dessert, sauted in butter and sprinkled with sugar. So. Good.

You know it’s true.

I’ve noticed diet soda tasting bad even very shortly past its use-by date. I always, always check the date to make sure it’s a long way off, now.

She did a Twitter recap of the excerpt!

I hope we get more Daredevil with Charlie Cox, somehow someway. What a thoughtful, introspective guy! I love finding out how an actor analyzes character, and how they evolve in their performance. He does such a great job.

This is horrific and vivid and needs more likes.

Fantastic, well-researched, and surprisingly interesting article, thank you! I have been a vagina-haver for 42 years, and didn’t know any of this. After having read “A Short History of Nearly Everything” I came to the realization that scientists are just people, rife with pig-headedness and personality conflicts, so…

My kids actually never really liked the Kraft stuff, once I started making my own stovetop version (I make a white sauce, add cheddar and cream cheese, hit it with a stick blender until it’s super creamy, add pasta, done) which was kind of irritating because I am lazy and would rather make the box and be finished.…

Everyone knows when you make an assumption, you make an ass out of you, and umption. Loved Long Kiss Goodnight. Great choice!

What do you have against peanut butter? 

(I actually have no defense for why I pronounce it with a soft G, I just always have, so whenever I hear someone say it the other way it sounds wrong! This is the only reason I think this has become a thing, people don’t like to change the way they say things in their heads. If it was called a “bif” there would be no…

As a lifelong advocate of the soft G pronunciation of “gif” I am embarrassed to say I pronounced this in my head with a hard G. If it is, in fact, soft G like “Geoff,” I will, of course, use this as an example of how those that pronounce “gif” with a hard G are wrong, wrong, wrong because I have no shame.
