I stand by my hyperbole. Because of the grout. (Serious talk: I think we can all agree ice cream shouldn't scratch going down.)

…goat cheese…

Jeni's is overrated, overpriced, pretentious BS. I swear there's not one flavor I can choke down. Even something as idiot proof as butter pecan, somehow Jeni's makes it taste like it has grout in it. When in Columbus, skip the wank and go to Graeter's!

Agreed. I bailed after 15 minutes, having not laughed once. D+ for Disappointed-plus!

No, sorry. No one's GOT to do it.

Yup. Song of Ice and Fire : movie :: Discworld : TV Series

I saw so many references to Arthur "mashing" the button — which I never noticed — but Diana's elbow-flapping signaling style was giving me fits.

It's gotten to the point where I'm yelling "LOSER" at the TV whenever a challenger starts a new category at the top. Jesus, people. There is no honor to be gained. Play Arthur's game or get the fuck out.

He explains that in the interview. (Essentially, the squid would have looked fucking stupid in a live action movie, and the twist with Dr. M served the same plot purpose. And I agree with him.)

In the novel The Rook by Daniel O'Malley, the protagonist's name is Myfanwy, "rhymes with Tiffany."

They wanted the specific city. I guessed Munich.

No, 1981 was still Disco times. Well, disco times just morphing into Urban Cowboy times. "MTV-hadn't-yet-introduced-'merica-to-post-punk-and-New-Romantic" times, anyway. My point is parachute pants are right on target for 1987. I worked at a newspaper around then where the sports editor wore them exclusively.

The cartoon is way too rushed, looks terrible, and the music hurts—it's physically painful. Hooray for New Zealand and computers!

My favorite part of this review is where Dowd spends a full third of it droning on about the movie's bloat and restates two or three times how it could have been condensed and shortened. (It's funny 'cause lots of people need editors!) Review grade: B-

"Yay! More scrolling!"

Way way way too on the nose. No.

I thought O'Brien's beef against Bates had to do with how the missing snuff box incident played out.

There was a very subtle peeing in the snow joke!
