Yeah I guess given that there are other typos elsewhere in the article, I think you're right- the sentence makes a lot more sense if it's supposed to be "wasn't".

These teams of women with skills equal to if not greater than male players took up the mantle in a time in which the country’s national pastime…was a capitalistic priority.

"The realm of myth and maybe" is second only to "the land of wind and ghosts" in terms of beautifully overwrought pop TV phraseology.

Hooooooooooly fucking shit. I missed this one when it came out (probably because I never had much interest in Leonard Cohen) but these jokes should fucking stop. Thanks for sharing.

I love that scene so much- "I found him." "Where?" "There!"

"Because of the site's snarky tone, writers often take shots at pop culture figures they dislike. Entourage and Adam Sandler are frequent targets in Newswires, while Aaron Sorkin is frequently excoriated in more traditional reviews and longform pieces."

Is he? Huh, those jokes are in even worse taste than I thought!

I'm not listed on there? I give this tv tropes entry a D-

I was in a Half-Price Books a while ago and they had a 12-inch talking Sheldon action figure and I just could not figure out who this thing was for. There were about 8 of 'em and they did not look like they were exactly flying off the shelves.

Danny DeVito, really, but they're basically the same person.

And, confusingly, it was all kicked off by his reading a biography of Rafael Trujillo.

No, but I've seen Throw Momma from the Train fourteen times.

Well ooh-la-la!

Truman Capote.

Just keep your kidnapped celebrities in your car hole like the rest of us, Mister Fancy French Man!

"Jeff, what's the weather today?"

"Jeff, what appointments do I have today?"

I fucking love his delivery on that line. I look it up on youtube sometimes just to laugh.

It does get kinda goofy at the end (it looks the worst when Frost uses blood to pull himself back together, but that's about the height of it and that only lasts for a couple seconds), and I don't dislike Blade 2 at all- I think it's pretty great. I just think Blade is way better.

If it had focused on any single one of the villains, they could have pulled it off. I think keeping so much focus on Green Goblin throughout the series was a mistake, though, even if it did give us a truly hilarious oil portrait of Willem Dafoe glowering at his son and driving him crazy.
