I can tell when my mowing deck belt breaks because the mower goes twice as fast. Or at least it feels twice as fast - maybe 4 mph versus 2 mph. (It’s a 40 yo Craftsman). Anyway, my point is, any yokel can do 150 mph on a mower without the blades a mowin’, because it’s not a mower unless you are cutting grass. Let’s…

Well, downforce in mowing is hugely important.  For one, high top speed is nothing when you have a yard full of trees you need to mow around -- and downforce gets you cornering speed. Plus, if you go with ground effects, the suction effect lifts the grass firmly so you get a much nicer finish to your cut.  It’s a…

Just make sure it has a spoiler. Wouldn’t want that high-speed lift.

The weird thing about making movies is that they are expensive to make and the people who front the money for them expect to get the money back. Ideally with some extra money on top! That’s one of the reasons why some actors are paid more than others. They draw an audience to the box office! There’s a good chance that…

What she’s not being is calcualted.  She is saying what she thinks: she doesn’t give a fuck.  How much more clear can she make it, aside from actually saying, “I don’t give a fuck.”  This is her.  

Why does she have to defend herself for getting roles? The people who cast should be catching flack more than her. If she thinks the role is right for her and it helps develop her craft - why wouldn’t she take it?

Gawd that gif will NEVER EVER EVER get old.

Exactly! Like, no, dude, obviously you don’t need to remember every word precisely for it to be true that someone said that thing to you.

My fave was:

I’ve often wondered if you have ever paused to reflect on why you sometimes have such a reflex to get so personal and frankly, bitchy, when women take you on? Have you ever stopped and wondered about that?

That’s why we say “It’s not rocket science” when talking about easy shit.  Because rocket science is fucking hard and full of failure. 

I like explosions but hold the phone there is an angry face painted on this exploding rocket

Every company that makes rockets has a highlight reel of rockets blowing up.

He looks like a younger Tommy Lee Jones that just took half a dozen vicodin and downed a beer.

What I get from this story is that TLJ wasn’t really “acting” when he was Agent K.

Ironically Jim Carrey is against villains in real life.

That would be some sort of horrifying Twilight Zone-level irony considering that Jones famously hates Jim Carrey.

Is it just me or does Jim Carrey look like he’s morphing into Tommy Lee Jones? 

Tom and Nicole split in 2001, when Scarlett Johansson was 17. Ew all the way around.
