I didn't care to watch the special, that's really not my sort of thing. Not the transgender part, but the celebrity fluff part. But the impression I got from media was that this was a long term transition taken in stages, and Jenner has had strong feelings about this for a very extended time. Which is exactly what…

The dude was a worker. His IMDB page certainly looks like he never said no to a job. And I don't mean that as a put-down. Some actors think their career is a hothouse flower that needs to be tended carefully. Others just like their job and want to get out there and work. This guy was the latter.

I think it was Dave Sim who related a quote from Will Eisner about how we're all funny animals in a world of humans. In terms of this movie, we're all Camerons in the shadows of a Ferris. Who has ever identified with Ferris except as wish fulfillment?

You know who's really good at over-reacting to stuff? The interwebs, that's who!

What loss was that? The frequencies you can't hear? Less than the losses and distortions inherent in any analog playback system ever created.

There was this little album named "Ace of Spades." You may have heard of it, but maybe not. There has never been a superior work of Rock N Roll, before or since.

Well I just thought it was weird to cast a brother and sister of different races. But I assumed it was an adoption situation, which still makes it weird to me because why use that excuse to make just one of the characters a minority, instead of making them both black. Which I know would never happen because then a…

Awww, somebody is insecure about their whole Canada thing. Canada is a fine nation. One where almost everybody lives within a 2 hour drive of a much superior country that provides them 90% of their pop culture. But hey, you did give us Neil Young and Rush. And Nickleback. And I bet if somebody in America ever…

Since that is a Canadian realty site, and the place is located in Ontario, I assume that means it's 14.8 million Canadian dollars, right?

When I first saw Mad Max and Road Warrior, I thought Max's Boss Fifi and the Humungus were the same guy. Maybe not the same actor, but close enough physically and in his speaches to open up the possibility that this was how far society had crumbled. A former police chief now organizing desert psychopaths.

Because except for that bit at the top, most of the people in sled are just passengers. Only the driver has to do anything. So the majority of bobsled team members are ex-sprinters or some other athlete that almost made it to the top of their sport. If Albert gives citizenship to two almost olympic sprinters, one…

Metal-heads love Dio. Critics have hated metal, up until the last few years. There are now "classic" metal bands that critics and the general public admit are great, and that list basically begins and ends with Ozzy era Sabbath and Zeppelin. And possibly 80's Metallica. Why? Because they're 30+ years old and…

His band was called Elf for a reason. He was tiny. And very new Hampshire-ey.

When a Dio sung metal song works, it is amazing. When it doesn't work, it is every cliched and terrible thing people make fun of about metal music. Pompous, overblown, over dramatic, self-serious, with gibberish pseudo intellectual lyrics, you can see why they can be considered laughable. But when they work, it's just…

What about beer that is free, but also comes with a rebate? Wouldn't that be even better than free?

I second the Sixpoint products. Good stuff. And if you can make a trip to Vermont, there are several very good canned beers, Heady Topper often being touted as one of the best beers on the planet. More widespread are the Oskar Blues beers, some of which are great, others are just OK. Ballast Point also cans a…

The vast majority of beer is suitable for consumption by vegans. Making beer requires no animal related products. If you're adding honey or bacon to your beer, your beer probably sucks anyway. Sometimes in the finishing stage an animal product could be used, but it's not very common. But dark lady preserve us if a…

Kree Sentry of some sort?

AV CLUB: definitely not the place to go for craft beer recommendations. 21st Amendment beers aren't terrible. They're better than cheap beer. But not by that much.

I know stuff has happened, but it seems like every issue of his run has involved guys standing around talking about how big and important everything is, and then brooding. And all of the new characters, who are supposed to be these huge cosmic threats just seem vague undefined personality free pieces on a chess board.
