In a network full of people using spices day in and day out, I admire the one who finally makes the Dune joke.

Didn't Bobby Flay also used to have a show with a couple ladies that you could tell he was constantly restraining himself from snarling at?

Thank you!

I'm really happy that going through TV shows works way better on mobile now. I was seriously going through Breaking Bad reviews before by looking up the individual episode titles and searching for them one by one.

I finally caught up with this in a couple weeks of binge watching in every spare moment, and all I can say is, in the end, I'm really glad things worked out for Beaver and Lanky Joe.

Don't worry, he got plenty!

I will always resent U2 because of a 9th grade geography teacher who, after we watched the movie Gandhi, made us listen to Walk On and write an essay about how it related to Gandhi.

Oh yeah, KOTOR's is damn clever, with how it plays with how little you really know about these RPG protagonists. They just hop into being without much past and you don't question it.

The world was black and white but then started to get some color, so I figured somebody was touching butts.

It's an interesting parallel that the movie has a part where they say you can end it by turning it off, and Spec Ops' creator has said in interviews that one of the game's endings is "player turns it off and walks away."

Infinite Jest is the weirdest thing because in the first 100 pages you have no idea what's going on or how anybody could read this, then at some point the vernacular clicks and you can't imagine not getting it. It's like getting used to the water in a really cold pool.

The tough part about the names is the nicknames. Everybody has diminutives, because Russian has never met a thing it couldn't make more complicated. Alexei is usually Alyosha but can also be Alyoshenka or Lyosha…my edition had a list in the front, which helped a ton.

The secret to the Brothers Karamazov is having it around when the internet is broken for a few days and you don't really want to talk to your roommates.

Gene is so damn cute. An 11-year-old who loves fart jokes could have been really abrasive and annoying, but he takes such pure, unbridled joy in yelling "beef curtains!" that it's endearing instead.

Do you have erotic friendfiction open in another window?

It's really nice to see one that acknowledges just how weird and awkward you are at that age, but stays sympathetic.

Just watching the trailer right now made me disturbed and a little queasy, and I know I should never see the movie. So I guess it worked?

I'm not into that kind of horror movie so I've never seen it, but everything I hear about it makes it seem like it is to torture-horror movies what Spec Ops The Line is to modern military shooters, except more aggressive and unsubtle. Which is funny, because as much as I love Spec Ops and think it's brilliant, subtle…

Tina is the most accurate depiction of a teenage girl I've ever seen on TV.
