I prefer this advertising Kid anyway.

Perhaps it’s the outlaw pizza because the Frito Bandito is no longer culturally acceptable?

If you want to talk about watermelon horror, you picked the right day to ask me. I happen to have watched this episode of Journey to the West last night. I’m starting it at the relevant part. What you didn’t see was our hero, Sun Wukong, turn himself into a watermelon to trick the demon.

Even now, having seen how hit or miss the trilogy turned out, my heart swelled when I saw the Millennium Falcon and the music swelled in that teaser. Even knowing it’s not that great, I still want to rush out and rewatch. Nostalgia’s a hell of a drug.

Any other year I’d agree with you, but died suddenly in 2020 smacks of COVID to me. Michigan had a huge surge in November, too. I would say that’s the most likely culprit.

I read for characters, so stuff like that doesn’t usually annoy me if I like spending time with the characters. There are exceptions, of course.

The difference between Ramsay’s television persona and his writing gave me serious cognitive dissonance. He seems like a lovely person if you only read his work and don’t watch any.

If the bread is warm, dive right in. Who wants to let it cool so the butter won’t spread easily? I can wait if it’s cold. The most important thing is to have some bread left to push your salad onto your fork when it comes. I used to tease my mother that she was incapable of eating salad without a piece of bread in her…

I LOVE Murderbot! I’ve pretty much loved all the books by Martha Wells that I’ve read, but Murderbot is a firm favorite character. I was coming here to say that’s my favorite book of the year so far.

If I had to guess about the scabbard, I would say he is concerned where they’re going will be a magic free zone like the TVA.

My reading of Norse myths tells me that’s probably why they think he’s the worst ruler ever. Their idea of heaven is to fight each other ever night.

“You’re my favorite.”

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s a little bit disappointed that Richard E. Grant didn’t introduce himself as the Lick the Mirror Handsome Loki.

Me, too. Even though I love him in Harley Quinn, the moment I see King Shark, it’s all I can think.

I don’t read much of the comics. I was never into the name heroes even when I did. Other than Batman, who I’ve seen in many adaptations, my knowledge of most of these characters comes from JLU. I have watched most of these movies based on what I was in the mood for and had no trouble getting them or getting into them.

Can’t imagine that would work even as well as my made up avauntular.

I’ve been thinking about this over the weekend, and I’m not sure Gaston growing up is the issue. I think the issue is Gaston learning women are human beings. Because of the societal strictures of the time, the only women he has access to outside of formal romantic arrangements are matron figures like Maman, or…

Nope, well at the very end of the season, but not because she’s over him.

Duck. And I say that from someone who is much more pro-Christopher than pretty  much anyone in the Gilmore Girls TV Club Classic comments. I skip season seven on rewatch pretty much every time.

I know the concept of Gigi is terrible, but it’s just so damned enjoyable. I have very fond memories of watching it over the phone with my best friend while he drooled over Leslie Caron and I did the same over Louis Jourdan. And it also gave me the song that’s been my theme song pretty much since I hit 50, with no…
