If I stood by my opinion Coelho being a complete hack in real life, I'd be out of female friends. Thankfully the internet will always be there for me to scream into the abyss.

You know, for me the burning wood usually comes after I'm entertained.

That fact was anything but fun!

It took me games 5-7 to figure out how baseball works. On the other hand, I still don't understand the rules to football, so I'm just going to assume this comment section is full of child prodigies and Nobel laureates.

The one Roth I'd like to see on the big screen is his last novel Nemesis (well, or Sabbath's Theater, but that's not gonna happen outside of a weird low-budget European production). Nemesis is such a well-rounded, atmospheric work, and it ditches the crazy amount of subtext that makes Pastoral so risky to adapt and…

Hounds of Love is an outstanding album, but the one song that always makes me feel like I'm uncovering a deep dark secret is Hello Earth. The entire album primes you for a bombastic crescendo, but when "All you sailors…" hits, there's nothing that could have prepared you for the frailty and power of what's to come.

No new Le Tigre albums?

In one of the rare positive occurences of family-shared memes, my sister pointed those images out to me after observing I do the exact same thing whenever I make a dumb joke.

Palmer? I barely even kn- oh wait, I'm James Bond, I don't give a shit.

Crap, now what do we call them? I nominate Brangel-he-na and Brangelin-'er.

Fucking Dragons? You know, I usually get those from elsewhere on the internet…

"All candidates must include a cover letter, resume, and five original
GJI ideas (no more than one sentence each) with application."

Still better than ripping out all the pages and distributing them randomls as an elaborate series of red (or blue) herrings.

Imagine the flavour of a glass or orange juice you diluted with too much water.

I actually really liked the voiceovers in the first season. Framing the show as a story that is being narrated, instead of the quasi-naturalist 'this is really happening right now' approach most shows take, made all those incredible/unpredictable events we're being shown seem more preordained in a way, like something…

Two sitcoms I got recommended as among the funniest on TV, yet all I found was predictably written, inoffensive, ploddingly paced fast food television. So all in all this is probably the hot dog pizza of sitcom episodes.

This is sort of old school, but I have to go with Gustaf Gründgens' Mephistopheles. I don't think I've ever seen someone bring that kind of charisma to a role ever again. Shame he turned out to be a Nazi sympathizer.

Now this is where I would normally make a really tasteless, really easy terrorism joke, but instead I'm just going to ask you for a minute of silence for all those mannequins senselessly losing their lives every year - but hey, I guess it beats standing around all day pretending that a real person could ever have your…

That's honestly the one thing I'll defend about Apple Music - I'm having a blast browsing all the music magazine playlists for genres I've wanted to explore for a long time now. Well, also Josh Homme being on there, that's a big draw in itself.
