Does this movie need a bounty hunter and/or party planner?

If you think that's a lot of booze, wait until you see "The Legend of Zelda Fitzgerald."

The other one was about how all comedians are connected and/or racist. THIS one is about comedians who have sex with cars. Totally different shows, honest.

It was the opposite for me. Jacobs' character was way too unpleasant, in a one-note and seemingly unmotivated way, especially as the season moved on, for me to understand why I or anyone would want to spend time around her. I get that they were going for "two flawed characters," but they ended up with "one flawed

It's just a show. You should really just relax.

I initially read this as "concept album about goats." Maybe next time.

I don't know… I really liked "The Mos Eisley Sestina."

I mean, sort of, indirectly? If nothing else, it was one of the primary vectors by which conspiracy theory infiltrated the national mainstream, leading to the mess we find ourselves in now.

Well, a reference to "Velvet Falernum" specifically would presumably mean the John Taylor version, not a homemade one. Not sure if it's hard to find in Chicago, but I'd be surprised if so. (I mean, Bevmo stocks it, as do most of the independent wine/liquor stores here in California with any kind of selection.)

I want someone to replace Miles Teller with Lightning McQueen in that Esquire interview.

I'd go a step further — I've always imagined the album as being written in character, from the point of view of, basically, teenage dorks trying (not very successfully) to impress people with how worldly and tough they are. It changes the album to think of it as "these guys are boasting unconvincingly about how, oh

Are there that many, um, "musicians of his ilk?" Like, I can't think of any working right now, certainly not in the same genre.

He seemed genuinely apologetic.

More than 2/3.

I was there also. According to my wife, who had been to the previous night's show, it wasn't even 2/3. It was literally 1-2 songs before it would have ended anyway.

"the person most befitting the description 'It’s like God spilled a person'…"

Tulip is a tulip is a tulip.

Frida Kahlo, apparently!
