Is that the Michael Ironside thing? I haven't seen it.

No, it isn't. Not always. I've read two of his novels and they were pretty damn readable. If you have any interest in Golden Age comics or the boys that created them, I cannot recommend The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay highly enough.

That's awful.

Mrs. Punk made beef stew for dinner Sunday night, and there were enough leftovers for two more dinners this week. She added parsnips to the recipe, and also put two whole bottles of Guinness in the broth (rather than a measly 11 ounces). It was so fucking good.

Kung Fury

It's pouring.

They don't call humans the "long pork" for nothing.

I can sort of see "live action" as a descriptor for Jungle Book, since there was one (1) human actor against all that green screen, but how do you call the Lion King "live action"? CGI is still animation, by gum.

We don't actually get to vote on who we bomb, and we definitely don't get to vote on how we bomb them. We don't even get a say in how are taxes are apportioned, so we all support the military financially, even if we're unhappy with their performance.

Say what you want about the rampant crime, and the poverty, and the pollution, the inadequate lighting of streets at night, all the abandoned warehouses and amusement parks and so on, but they have good pizza. Something about the water, I'm told.

You can be uptight and still be funny. See also, John Cleese.

Yes, 'twas why I went with "English" rather than "British."

It's not my obsession, I assure you.

Ah, misery sweepstakes. No one ever wins at that.

Cheating, at it's core, is about dishonesty. Another lie just compounds it. I'd rather be told myself, so that I can end things and get on with my life.

No. In the analogy, the lawn is foreign policy. The ideal is something green and vibrant; right now we have weeds and patches of dirt and an invasive species of beetle that isn't allowing the garden to grow. Meanwhile, the house (i.e. domestic concerns) is on fire, given that even our law enforcement officials have no…

"And what response did I get from ostensibly leftist or liberal people?
"I gotta look after my friends and family first, of course I prioritize
the people I'm close to" which is basically a nice way of saying "FUCK
YOU GOT MINE" like Gordon Gekko"

One, he was being sent to a prison he had already escaped from once before, not to be hanged, and two, after spending so much time with Bale's character and getting the measure of the man and his son, Crowe decided to unleash some vengeance for them on a bunch of shitheads he didn't particularly like all that much…

In the Lego Avengers game, Scarlet Witch basically replaces Jean Grey from the Lego Marvel Super Heroes game. Wanda gets telekinesis and mind control, full stop. It's a pretty useful set of powers, and describes pretty well what she does in the films. She doesn't really do the "hex" thing in the movies, after all.

No Bellairs, no sale.
