I like that their Matthew Broderick sounds like Jon Lovitz.

I firmly believe you should lose your ability to discuss climate change seriously while living in a 6,000 square ft house on a three acre compound.

That movie was surprisingly funny. It knew what it was. Plus, Anna Kendrick.

I like to imagine the book you were suggesting was Devil in the White Person, by Louis Farrakhan.

I badly want to get this game, but can't quite muster up the will to drop $60. I've heard great things though. How did you like it?

I've heard of it. Not sure where though.

Daaaaaaaaamn. Thanks!

Noted, thank you. Putting it on the list.

That looks to be a great choice!

That looks to be a great choice! I'm heading down for the American Planning Association's National Conference, and the book looks to be about the 1893 World's Fair. Daniel Burnham basically birthed the City Beautiful movement and is hugely influential in planning history. He's a big reason why Chicago looks the way it…

I keep confusing her with Bruce Willis's kid.

I'm taking a 19 hour train ride from NY to Chicago (Huzzah for our 19th century rail network). I'd like some good recommendations for books set in Chicago to help occupy me during the ride. I did this going from London to Edinburgh last year (Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories) and it was a fantastic way to get to know…

I'd watch that movie.

Your username is applicable. I feel silly, but I'm leaving it.

That's a fantastic memory. And unlike most celebrity encounters, it's the kind of thing the both of you remembered. The kind of thing he told his wife and family about later that day. It's so sad this man is no longer with us, but it's really wonderful you had such a personal experience with him.

Fuck cancer.

Looks like they finally scrapped the Up All Night multi-cam sitcom idea and decided to go with a feature length movie. Better format, I guess. They also replaced the main characters with mutant turtles. I really hope the baby is still in it.

Damn you're right. Have they done a White Guy Karate movie that they didn't like?

Are you sure you're talking about Eric Szyska? Steven Sajdak is the guy with the nasally voice. Szyska's voice is a lot deeper.

They seem to like a lot of the White Guy Karate stuff. Gymkata, No Retreat, No Surrender, and the Best of the Best 2. It's a genre that is tough to hate, because even when it's done really badly it's still hilarious.
