I think what they meant to say is overlaying signature soundtracks to generic slow motion panning shots or fast cut static shots.

If it's any consolation, Pickle is definitely getting his ass kicked at school.

Sounds like you've had a lot of old fashioned's in your day.

Regardless of the family's description, one of the first things I learned in journalism school is how to write obits and one of the first things I was told was to never use the phrase, "lost his/her battle." Whether you're talking about cancer or suicide, it's tactless and conveys a judgement of weakness you have no…

Nope, I'm good.

We're all really relieved this horrible nightmare is in your rearview. It's kept us up nights. Perhaps you should get a slice of pizza to celebrate?

You're not nearly as intelligent or high minded or noble in your emotional detachment as you'd like to think you are. Just kinda felt like you should know that.

I wonder how much of this was the show's ownership of criticisms of it as ableist against the cognitively disabled. Frankly the previous two episodes seemed to be guilty of it as defining JJ's success and well being later in life as measured by his ability to live a "normal" life. (He can drive a car!)

The thesis seems to be that people are just blindly flocking out of empty nostalgia, but that assumes he couldn't have done this MSG residency at any point since 1985. I'm pretty convinced he could have. Not to say this makes him an objective towering genius of talent, but it doesn't give you the license to talk down…

This feels like the first time I'm really emotionally invested in Richard's success. He's always been a character who's genuinely motivated to do something innovative, but it was always a struggle to get behind the making of another tech billionaire. To have him leave the surest financial thing he's ever had because…

Taskmaster is my latest British panel show obsession. It's essentially a perfect reality show inversion: the contestants are charming and affable, the competition is inherently unserious, and the prize is a fake gold bust of the host. And with all that silliness you can still get a moment like Josh Widdicombe…

I think the show is exceptionally good at showing the way new relationships can make people confront some unsettling traits about themselves. Most rom-commy shit is really oversimplified with some "he's afraid of commitment" or "she's to tied up with her job," but this really gets at how being with someone can make…

That definitely has a lot to do with it, but it's also the intense vulnerability both written in the character and in the way Jacobs plays it. Somehow I always come away from episodes feeling impressed that this character so clearly always teetering on the edge is keeping a grip on things at all.

Gus definitely has out-and-out hurt people, he's just not honest with himself about it.

That was also Ben Affleck in his "Don't Give a Fuck Armageddon" glory. He was in the movie for about five minutes but takes up 90% of the commentary and is absolutely hysterical throughout. He completely shreds Smith's directing choices in painfully specific ways.

Man, SNL hasn't been this funny in years! I can't wait to see what political leader they sing a love song to next week. And keeping a straight face through their whole anti-establishment self-mythologizing - pitch perfect satire!

Fair enough, but even a light pour is pretty far from the Churchill approach.

People who don't respect vermouth tend to treat it like shit and in return they get shitty vermouth that they don't respect. As a fortified wine, you absolutely have to refrigerate and not expose to oxidation, which means keeping fresh. It's gonna loose its magic even after a couple weeks. Also, and I find this…

Standard martini recipe would call for at most half as much vermouth and you're gonna use a london dry or distilled gin (Old Tom is totally its own thing, like Genever), but the orange bitters are often optional.

Ali Forney has three or four already existing houses give or take the same number of beds. Also, they're not designed for long term housing, the program transitions the residents to supported apartments for cheap rent and eventually total financial independence. More to the point of your question, no the problem's not…
