From the extremely confused border guard, to the carriage driver who simply throws his entire whip at the carriage's lemon-horse to "Amnouncing arrival o Princest Bubbaguh and Little Boy!" the Lemongrabs' servants are pretty uniformly incompetent at their jobs for citizens of a "sophisticated society".

@avclub-0f0d67e214f9fef69b278e3d08114da9:disqus And then we learn that Wilson had willed the Bills to some guy who decides to move the team to LA, at which point the promptly turn into an elite multi-Super-Bowl-winning dynasty on par with Brady/Belichek Patriots.

I do think that Manuel has a legitimate chance at being a solid QB.  He's not quite ready to take on an NFL starting defense yet, might not be completely ready by the start of the season, and even if he turns into a great QB and Marrone makes a great coach I'd be pretty surprised if we made the playoffs this season,…

I think the teacher was out sick, and we didn't have a proper sub that day, so the psych teacher who had a planning period or something let a guy with a Dr. Who DVD put it on.

It doesn't matter.  That he ever supported the anti-vaccine shit while he was with Jenny McCarthy is bad enough.  So yeah, fuck Jim Carrey.

Yeah, fuck those miserable cunts for criticizing celebrities who walk around fear-mongering with their bullshit anti-vaccination conspiracy theories that threaten the lives of millions of un-vaccinated children and immuno-compromised people.

Yeah, it's actually pretty terrifying that they're tacitly giving her idiocy legitimacy by putting her on this show and giving her another avenue through which to spread her bullshit anti-vaccine propaganda.  You'll probably get a ton of people watching The View and subsequently choosing not to vaccinate their kids.…

The filmography seems like an excessive bit of minutiae at first, but within a couple hundred pages you'll see just how thematically relevant a lot of the films are to the rest of the text, and there's a ton of random references to JOI's filmography throughout.  Plus, some of the film synopses are hilariously…

Yeah, Season 3 of Lost ended pretty strong IIRC.

The premise of killer shrews is so stupid that that has to be a hilariously awesome movie.

I think this year's Perseids are supposed to be best on Monday and Tuesday, so you should definitely try tomorrow.  I'm planning to try watching both nights and hoping that the forecast of scattered and/or isolated t-storms every fucking day this week doesn't ruin the view.

How old is that space-titanic special?  I think it's one of like three Dr. Who episodes I've seen in my entire life.  I didn't get it either, but that's probably partly because I was watching it on a not-very-loud TV ~2/3 of the way across a high school classroom in which ~2/3 of my fellow students weren't remotely…

It's taken me a good month and a half, but I've finally finished reading Infinite Jest.  Overall, it was a fantastic book, perhaps not quite as incredible as some make it out to be, but still fucking excellent.  Lot of great stuff with Gately and the fever dreams, especially the last one where he's remembering…

Speaking of the armored fucking polar bears, that fight was probably the most violent passage of any children's book I've ever read.  So, if HDM was made into an HBO series, do you tone down the violence so that it would be more appropriate for kids, or do you essentially turn it into an adult series that retains the…

As long as Alan Rickman reprised his role as Snape.

Good episode.  That opening scene with Galvan talking about serial killers was great.  The scene with Sonya and Marco in Sonya's apartment was also pretty fantastic, as was that moment where she so awkwardly invites him to come sleep on her couch.

And the quote would explain why shoplift-girl was walking into Juarez against a huge crowd of people crossing into El Paso,

If you like the Ice King, watch enough episodes that you have a solid understanding of character dynamics and care about the characters, etc. and then watch "Holly Jolly Secrets", pts. 1&2, "I Remember You", and "Simon and Marcy", in that order.  I highly doubt you will be disappointed.

Those are some good albums.  I always feel like "10,000 Days" is underrated.  Apart from a couple of transition tracks that are a bit longer/more-expendable than normal for Tool, it's a really good album.

Good episode.  I don't know if Finn has ever been as big a jerk (even if he didn't realize what a jerk he was being) as he was in this episode.  Pitting Flame Princess and Ice King against each other and putting them both at risk, and writing that letter to Flame Princess.  And his pathetic "But I said I was sorry,"…
