Maybe he's a leg man, and she was fed up with guys of the other persuasions.

During the sinkhole sketch, I wondered what profession the "dorky guy with incongruously hot wife" would turn out to have. Puppeteer was absolutely perfect.

I love Hammond's Trump, but Baldwin is pretty great too, and boy does he come at that role with conviction. Plus, more of Hammond's Bill Clinton is always welcome.

Indeed, when I heard the news I thought, "Alackaday! Not Mr. Richard Trentlage, Wiener Lover and Master of the Subjunctive Mood."

So she shot the film in 4:3 ratio, but all three promo pics above are in widescreen?

Yes, at this point I can't believe that anyone would name a film American [blank] unironically. It's so annoyingly overused that it induces eyerolls before you even know anything about the movie.

Oh, Kevin Hart! I thought it was Robert Downey Jr.

That's because he already did it in King Kong.

the reason she's wearing children's clothing

L.A. Confidential is very well written and directed, and also has just about the best casting I've ever seen. Excellent choices across the board. Other than The Godfather, I can't think of a more impressive period drama depicting a mid-century American story. Hanson crafted a true classic.

Are we required to like Leslie Jones and everything she does, or does a dissenting opinion about this one particular person automatically render one a racist or misogynist? (Sadly that question can't just be flippant and rhetorical anymore, but actually has to be asked.)

Why yes, I do need a keychain that's more likely to pierce my genitals. Thank you!

Comparison to Louie is OK! I don't think his creative stamp on this show should induce wariness to compare, or anything negative. He and Pamela Adlon created lots of stuff together, and seeing her show as a sort-of-extension of his (from which the new show can branch out in its own ways) is not a slight to Adlon or…

Theoretically, but I walked through every hotel on the Strip a couple years ago (and played poker in several of them), and IMO I must say Revel was more attractive than every one of them, in just about every way. Aria and Cosmopolitan were closest, obviously, but to me Revel's design edged them out — and then you add…

Miller is so great on Silicon Valley — I was pleasantly surprised to see him win a Critics Choice Award, which he deserves. Thomas Middleditch gets nominated for more awards (as the more central character), but although he's great, it's a tough job working opposite T.J. Miller and Zach Woods who are unique…

The opposite of [annoyed grunt]

The most contentious puzzle in all of the Myst games, even more than the mazerunner — because for a musician (esp. a pianist) it's a cinch, but for many others it's an immensely frustrating roadblock. A similar dichotomy exists on Jeopardy whenever they have Classical Music or Opera: those categories have an…

I actually bought the 2003 Myst 10th Anniversary DVD set (Myst Masterpiece, Riven & Exile) for cheap on Amazon, and after a little Quicktime tweaking, Myst and Exile play very well. (Riven has crash problems that can make the saved game files unrecoverable, sadly, but GOG has Riven anyway) The DVD is still the only…

I can't wait to play it — but I need to upgrade my machine! Can you (or folks you know) substantiate the numerous claims I've seen from players, that it's buggy and/or slow even on fairly decent rigs that surpass the min specs?

One of the lessons that many puzzle game designers never learned was the importance of avoiding tedium. The browser "escape" genre flourished a few years back and led to some beautiful, elaborate series, but the average games too often require players to backtrack multiple times — up the stairs to press a button,…
