The Walking Dead, or really anything zombie-related. I get the obsession: the world as you know it is over and you can forget about your everyday troubles when just surviving is at stake. But knowing about the very real prevalence of flesh-eating bacteria, corpse beetles and blowflies that would solve any zombie…

It was The Royal Tannenbaums, and I totally agree.
"A lot of chewing, but for meat," is how Mr Acts described it. Gwyneth Paltrow's character was so annoying; It made me angry that all these men were hopelessly in love with such a humorless drip. Pretentious artist chicks are a dime a dozen, how lazy can you get?

When that part is on I follow that line up with, "You know, two-term US President and two-term Governor of Florida!"
Typing it is just as depressing as saying it.

For real. For every down-on-luck homeowner who had the bad judgement to sign a ridiculous mortgage back in the 'aughts, there are hundreds who knew exactly what they were doing, and just grabbed at the "free money" the banks were almost literally pushing in their faces. There are confirmed stories about independent…

I volunteer on the HOA board where I live, and the fearmongering and sympathy-begging of this movie just pisses me off. Okay, the eviction scene was made harrowing for the movie, fine. But in Florida, it takes a helluva long time to be evicted from a house you bought. When the bank forecloses, the owner literally has…

I thought it was, "Tell me, don't I know your name"

All that stuff happens to these people, they die in a volcano, and you never wanted to go there anyway?! Way to end the song, Bob!

It is. I learned that from Cannibal! The Musical:
"You're cutting off his butt!"
"I thought you were hungry."
"Yeah, but not butt!"

Sweet, thanks for posting the text. In an issue of National Geographic, there was a photo essay on big cats raised in captivity. Under the panther photos, the author wrote, "In the eyes of the other cats (tigers, lions, etc) I could see some hint of connection. But not in the panther's. They were purely wild and…

Can't remember word-for-word, but a cool part is where Bagheera tells how he was born in captivity at a circus; there is a bare patch on his neck where he used to have a collar. But one day he realized he was Bagheera the Panther, and simply broke the lock of his cage with one swipe of his paw and bailed into the…

Weirdly enough, that's how I first heard about it; I was driving to work listening to Howard. A woman called in, saying she saw a plane hit one of the towers. Howard was asking her to explain, then she screamed, "There's another one! It just hit the other building!" That's when I floored it to get to work (a tv…

At the time, a co-worker said they absolutely HAD to change the title of that movie because, you know, the implications. Yes, she was an idiot.

And yet it was more than okay to play Don Henley's "New York Minute" ten times a day, with audio from the attacks spliced in.

Be seeing you.

I carry things on my belt.

Oh fuck, fucking Super 8. The very movie that made me distrust everything Abrams does. That fucking ending. I was yelling at my tv: "This is NOT how it ends, is it?! Yeah, that IS how it ends, fucking ET going home. Fuck!"

I dunno, the "Worst Case" description is word-for-word *exactly* what I think this installment will be. It is also the sickest burn on Abrams' bullcrap.

If I ever become a balloon enthusiast, you better believe my ride will be called "Fucking Whatever".

"All of a sudden, he gets a phone call" (disembodied hand gives Kinnear/Lowe a phone)
"But he doesn't, because it's not that time yet" (Kinnear/Lowe lets the phone snap out of the shot)
Merchant was the perfect Crazy Lincoln ("Hey, I've been watching you!")
Can't wait for the Dan Harmon episode!

Actually tolerable, internet!
