It looks like the Slate redesign. That's not a compliment.

FOOD FIGHT!

I hadn't thought of the calzone comparison. Good point.

Real barbecue is pork, not beef. And that's why they kicked me out of Texas.

Having grown up in the South nowhere near either Chicago or New York, I can objectively say that this argument isn't a patch on the one about which region has the best barbecue.

Unless it has Adam Sandler in it, I probably won't hate it.

This show was on when I was in high school; and although I loved it then and still love it now, to me it has always been a show of many small pleasures and not the kind of show where whole episodes stick in my memory. I'm tempted to say that's the price it paid for not trying to be "important," but Newhart (the 80s…

I have not seen Once. In fact, I've never heard of it. I will have to seek it out.

I have never for a minute bought Roger Ebert's assertion that his (in)famous review is "a review of the audience reaction" rather than an actual review of the movie. It's listed on his website as a review, and he calls it a review in his review of the 1990 remake. I've always believed he just didn't like the movie,…

I'm loving all this branding irony.

That whole article is a minor masterpiece of snark.

For people like me who still like owning CDs as opposed to just downloading songs, Hastings has great sales on CDs. You have to dig through big bins, and you never know what you're going to find, but that's part of the fun.

I'm NOT assuming Tyreese wasn't bitten. He looked really awful coming out of the woods (and not just the awful you'd expect to look after being chased through the woods by zombies).

Well, dang. I love black cats, and the only one of these I knew about was Salem. (I didn't know Felix the Cat talked.)

Sounds like a movie for people who thought Life of Pi would have been much better without that pesky tiger.

"Entertainment should help us soothe our brains so that we can ease our minds of some of the stress from our daily lives."

It's the one McCartney song I'm most likely to get stuck in my head, too. I've always called it a weird little masterpiece.

When I first heard this song as a kid, I kept thinking "But … but … there are seven days in a week!" Now that I'm older, I see what they did there.
