Chicago had room to expand. Also, Chicago, SF, and Boston all burned down at the start of the 20th Century, whereas NYC didn't. We have issues from not having gone through cataclysm and having to rebuild most of the place.

C'mon now… a lot of times it smells like urine

There are a small handful of people on any given day who are taking their pet to someone else's house to stay over, or for a vet appointment. The rest, I assume, are either inconsiderate scum or they're tourists why go everywhere with their little furball, and I despise both those groups.

If I had been in hearing distance, I wouldn't have gasped. Both because I perfectly understand why people don't like this place, and also because I would've said something like, "hey, you're no peach, either, lady!" Of course, I wouldn't have known it was you…

If they start with the quizzes, I will turn into one of those commenters who's constantly complaining about AV Club

They rolled box cars on that one, surely

I had a feeling it would turn out like this. If I had known Kurtzman was the director, I'd have assumed even worse than this, to be honest.

I mean, the courage of her. The true bravery that it takes to… disagree with one of one's parents. That's a mark of good character.

I'm with you over Mitchell Brown 100%

And both of them LOVE bread

Terrible Cop/War Crime Cop

From all reports, homeboy learns his scripts by heart. And it's wonderful to watch him in good movies, it really is

I mean, not being derivative is not an absolute measure of a film's quality. And a great many legitimately masterful movies have been a little (or sometimes a lot) derivative.

Jesus Christ, dude, they're in separate paragraphs for a reason. If there's a connection between my 3 paragraphs, it's about what one learns about sex. GOOD DAY SIR

Perhaps now is the time that I need to admit something: I'm.in an abusive relationship with autocorrect. I need help.

You realize this set definitely includes Wesley Snipes, almost certainly multiple men from the cast of Kill Bill, probably Ken Watanabe got one as a gift at some point…
