Deep down I know it makes me a sneering, elitist, hipster jerkoff, but pretty much any time I see "PG-13" in any kind of genre film, I assume anything above a C will be a miracle. PG-13 rom-com? Chicks don't want to pay to see boobs anyway. PG-13 stupid-action? Hey, maybe that means the heavy messaging and romantic

Do people in Luxembourg buy their own albums? I just sort of assumed they get them auto-delivered, along with the cheap booze and stinky cheese.

Damn it! They put the mouth on crooked again. I hope Dave brought his socket set…

Many years ago I worked at an insurance company, and the term for prepping documents for conversion to microfiche was "fapping". They had no idea.

For someone who supposedly "gets" hero comics, Moore doesn't seem to get them. hero comics aren't about stories or even events, but simply characters. Most Americans of any age can name a handful of superheroes - they're part of the pop culture, But how many non-hardcore fans can actually describe any particular story

The bangs aren't going away, are they?

No beard, no deal.

Yay sunk cost fallacy… I mean… something something Sarah Jessica Parker!

Yeah, people like to be sold product, but when you make it too obvious that it's a sales job, people recoil. No, Lana isn't worse than many, many other chick singers, but the attempt to make her into a "thing" got too obvious and you can see the assembly instructions showing through.

As the only man in America who thinks Counting Crows second album is better (err.. "more enjoyable to listen to") than their first, I agree that sometimes you just like it. Even if, by all logic, it's a piece of shit.

No, of course not. CBS-type retreads aren't the way. But if you have talented showrunners, talented actors, a budget, network support - why no start with something that has actual appeal, then use all that money and talent to make something truly special? Rather than the almost dare-like (who can make an awards-bait

I'm still waiting for AD to be back… in pog form.

This movie could've been awesome if at the end it was really Ignignotk and Err behind the whole thing.

We need John Leguizamo as the Giggler, man!

America just can't get enough of Liam Neeson throwing punches. People, animals, mailboxes, punch-clocks, ergonomic chairs - they all had it coming, and it's long overdue. His mighty fists point the way!

I used to work at Amazon, and there were always internal email chains about simple errors (the $800 million laser printer was popular), comically-priced (but serious somehow) items like $500 speaker cables and all that stuff. The three wolves t-shirt was as popular (and mocked) inside as outside and all that. Plus,

They've never been the same since Altamont.

I knew a guy at work that I thought had a good BS detector, but when I showed him an Onion article about people at a Ren Faire going berserk and drawing and quartering people, it was amazing to see the rage and defensiveness rise up in him (he was big into the stuff) - he figured it was just bad reporting. It took all

The Pro Bowl is a silly thing; basically a paid trip to Hawaii as a reward for being famous (and possibly good play). The problem with football is players can only play so many games before their bodies break down, and an extra one with no real consequence appeals to no one except fans (and even then, not a lot of

I just… don't care about horse racing. Not even a little bit. Gambling seem to be an overused go-to-well for desperate, pathetic people hoping for redemptions that'll never come already, and now, as the review mentioned, here's a show focused on a form of gambling people are unusually disinterested in. It's not like,
