Yeah, the ubiquity and social acceptance of alcohol consumption combined with its comparative slow impact disguises how terrifyingly dangerous it is.

It was WAY too hot to eat anything, to say nothing for chasing someone down.

There is a very non-zero chance Wonder Woman beats Guardians 2 and it could still pass BvS for total worldwide gross. Pretty exciting!

105 degrees.
No power for 14 hours.
When the power came back on, the AC leaked all over the place.

Streep and Thompson are on the short list for best actresses of the last fifty years, so it's hard to begrudge them getting awards attention, but they've both received a number of nominations (and awards) which seemingly reduce to "Well, we know they're good and we recognize their name, so that makes it an easy…

I'm desperately trying to hold out hope that at least one of It or The Dark Tower will be great and that both of them will be at least good.

There is essentially an endless list of things about American politics right now that make no sense whatsoever, but the very top of the list is that the party of Ronald Reagan, the US-above-all-others, the Soviet Union/Russia is an evil empire, the military-industrial-complex must protect us…

Given how outrageously hot it has been recently, that sounds goddamn delightful.

To balance things out, Destiny 2 also comes out in September. I'm sure that won't also be a cyclical nightmare of crushed expectations.

I don't think it counts as a hot take unless you take that latter position and call everyone who takes the former an idiot.

Might I direct you to the classic Russian comedian Nikolai Gogol? What could possibly be funnier than a satire about how people waste away their existence in the servitude of a monied elite? I'll tell you what! Selling their souls even after they die! That's what! HiLARious.

In the increasingly vague area occupied by the Newswire, this seems to unambiguously have almost no content that might be accurately classified as news.

I'm just catching up on season 5 of Elementary and have been so enjoying his presence. I actually said aloud to myself in my living room "OH MY GOD" when I saw this post. What a loss.

They have me pretty dead to rights on this one.

The first thing I owend that could play CDs was a discman and a cheap set of headphones, and "Nevermind" was the first CD I owned. To this day my parents still parrot the whiny, flat singing they heard from my room, made even worse because (since headphones) they couldn't hear the songs I was singing along to.

If there's one thing that really captures the devil-may-care, garage band look and sound of Seattle grunge, it's definitely an overproduced Broadway musical.

If you can do Swan Lake as not a ballet, why can't we do "War and Peace" with transformers?

The script was definitely not the problem with that movie. It wasn't obviously a genius piece of writing, but I think most of the problems were a combination of studio meddling (just the name change from A Couple of Dicks to Cop Out shows a significant drop off), Willis being totally checked out, and it being well…

The Black List is definitely one of the weirdest things in any industry. It's an official list of things that the film community agrees are great, but no one will do them because apparently we need more Transformers movies, I guess?
