There's also the possibility/probability/inevitability of shoddy manufacturing and/or programming. I'm shocked - SHOCKED! - that laws mandating airbags in cars haven't prevented people from being killed because their cars' airbags didn't deploy…

If every old sci-fi movie (as well as some newer ones) in which Earth astronauts land on a planet where the inhabitants speak English ended with a reveal that they were actually on Earth all along, then I'd go along with the idea that the apes speaking English should have been a dead giveaway.

He deemed it "perfect." I suspect he'd share your mother's opinion of

I'm not saying either one was unworthy of the other (I may feel a particular way, but I won't say it), which is why I didn't identify a speaker. I just hated that they ended up together.

In my opinion, the only way When Harry Met Sally should have ended is with a flash forward to them saying "Well, it's been 20 years. You're still my best friend, but goddammit dating you just doesn't work."

"Only band that matters… "

Best place to mosh and nosh, no doubt.

As long as we stipulate that "terrible and stupid" isn't necessarily a bad thing, I'm not going to argue with Mr. Pennypacker…

John Doe is the Man. Not "The Man" as in the guy we're supposed to stick it to, but… He's the Man.

Hot take:
Fuck JULIA CHILD.
