No problem! I had my thirtieth myself this past December, so the trials and travails of that particular milestone are still relatively fresh with me, haha.

I'd like to see them try! HEY, HEAR THAT, MOTHERF- okay I'm leaving, take it easy.

Curious how it will work for those of us who have held out on getting a disqus account and only use the A.V. Club login. There are at least…three of us.

Happy birthday!

Was the casino before or after the farmhouse? Because for me it really dropped the ball at the farmhouse. That was one of those instances of characters making a decision that would clearly lead to disastrous consequences for no other reason than because the plot required it. Even though the film works hard to give…

Hang in there. These advances are far enough off that you'll probably only have to face whatever you have left of the 80 year average life span or whatever it is. Also, the new GOP health plan is working hard to bring that average down.

Andy, meanwhile, died how he lived…falling into a trash pit.

Good luck living forever with that heart of glass.

Maybe it will be like that Justin Timberlake movie where you pay to extend your life expectancy. The poor won't have to worry about quality of life, because…you know.

This is a great argument for term limits.

War Against War sounds interesting. There was a really good series on NPR called The Power of Nonviolence, which I believe briefly touched on some of those movements. It's available to stream on the Human Media website if you're interested in checking it out.

It always felt like a missed opportunity to me that sites like Metacritic don't have a book reviews section. Movies, TV, music, and video games, but no books. I'd love to see all the major newspapers' and publications' reviews assembled in one place, but as far as I know such a site doesn't exist. (I know you…

Just sent you an email!

It's admittedly been a while since I've seen those…

I'd argue it's an issue in even many of the better MCU films. The Avengers was really entertaining and funny, but it's also basically one big setup for Phase 2, to the point where the alien threat the heroes faced during the climax felt like an afterthought. For me, the first Iron Man and the first Captain America…

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer the individual films all stood on their own two feet, but that's often not possible because of how they're made. I'm saying if they're going to bother with this whole shared universe thing, then go all in; don't just rely on easter eggs and character recognition to be the unifying…

The other Jurassic Park films managed to accomplish these things without insulting the audience's intelligence or feeling like blatant cash grabs (with varying degrees of success, obviously, but still).

I liked Baby Mama.

Sleeping with Other People is great. He even gets to play a non-douche.
