Yea. I mean, I know it's the lips and assholes of several creatures ground up with whatever else accidentally falls it the vat, and then shoved through the intestinal lining of one of said creatures; but if you don't think about it too much it can be an delicious experience.

She almost lost me at the mutant dogs. Whatever, it kind of falls apart if you analyze it too much. I don't care how the sausage is made; I'm at a ball game, let me enjoy my damn bratwurst.

It's a-bit-too-mild treatment of the subject matter and other inevitable trappings of being in the young adult category aside: I thought it was good. Not everything has to be all Cormac McCarthy or whatever. It's like a good burger at mediocre joint:
I didn't expect anything more, but it was damn tasty for what it…

I thought it was good for what it was. I won't lie though, I put a different cover on it so people wouldn't know what I was reading on the bus.

Yea, it's just a shame. For a book about kids killing kids for the entertainment of the elite (and as a tool of oppression), Ross showed no ability to translate the full awfulness of that onto the screen. I mean, in the book itself Collins pulled a lot of punches; I was hoping someone would have taken her ideas…

Hunger Games. Why, what book did you read?

I was thinking Alfonso Cuarón, but I doubt he'd want to be type-cast as the "post-apocalyptic dystopia" guy.

"and extending the story’s life is expressly the job of the Internet, while causing Community fans discomfort is NBC’s."

So are the **'s covering "nj"?

Well, on Friday, I went and ate some sushi (and imbibed great quantities
of sake) with a chap from the mill. I proceeded to the theatre, where I
indulged in a medium diet coca-cola, which was indeed 42 ounces. I sat
and viewed the remake of the 1980's television hit "21 Jump Street" in a
packed theatre, brimming with…

You're right, actually. The third season is tolerable. I guess rest of the series retroactively bittered my memory.

Random episode: Mystery. Semi-explanation of mystery. Character development. Cliffhanger.

Seriously, the show was awful. Like I am full of awe about how bad it became after season 2.

Don't be upset; it's normal that it takes a while to get started as you get older.

Urine for a surprise.

You think I'm especially gnot a genius?

Yes, a poorly chosen adjective.

I find these jokes insensitive.

I wonder what is behind and to the right of the cameraman that he is so earnestly interested in.
