Gotham Central was, in many ways, a reskinned version of Homicide: Life on the Street so yeah, they could accomplish it pretty easily. Very few of the plots involved much in the way of effects and when they are there (e.g. Mr. Freeze freezes a cop and they have to actually deal with this like a thing that happens to…

But everybody knew what he looked like; he was on Car 54, Where Are You? before he did The Munsters.

Are we counting that as a Last Tango in Paris reference?

I kind of appreciate that because it means that with my terrible Spanish I can still generally get the gist of the majority of the songs. Even though most of what I know is only directly relatable to ordering food.

A bar I frequented in college always had really good music. Great jukebox, some of the staff owned a record store in town, the other half of the staff were either all in bands or had worked at a previous record store. The always used to book a lot of country-rock acts and that was definitely the sort of stuff they…

I still don't understand Pitchfork's review of Hail to the Thief.

She sounds a little prim actually. Which, along with some rather interesting phrasing, makes this episode on condoms quite interesting. I'm almost amazed they didn't say they were checking to see that they didn't have a prick in them.

This must be decfictionalized as soon as possible. Well, maybe after Sabor de Soledad.

It's great stuff indeed. They also have a location in the Kansas City area. In my opinion though the best St. Louis-style was actually Leo's (which then became George's and was then sold again and is now, apparently, closed) in Overland Park.

I'm curious to know where cafeterias order that stuff from because we had exactly the same thing and yeah, the "Fiestada" was an abomination, but everybody loved those rectangular (not square) pizzas. I think starting in middle school they stopped serving it as a rectangle and started slicing them in half into weird…

There success around here seems to be "have as few locations as possible and have a delivery radius of a mile". Admittedly the former is because it's SF and people will instinctively bitch about any chain and the latter is because it's SF and if you travel more than 3 miles you're on the other side of town.

It's… tolerable. Which is more than can be said about the other brands.

I completely failed to see what was upsetting about the frozen McRib. It just looked like a normal McRib, but frozen. Were people really shocked that they're formed meat and don't actually have bones in them? Did they think that the bones just sort of politely stepped aside every other time they've eaten them?

I know, it makes it sound like there are baby mice all over the place!

Next thing you'll tell me that McDonald's is well and truly retiring the McRib for good. And that Jean Grey is really dead this time.

I never saw Last Tango in Paris.

I still maintain that it's neither and the poster art is metaphorical and not intended to be taken literally.

Wow… are his eyes actually that green or is that some sort of filter or contacts? I never saw him in such an extreme close-up before.

Which is interesting. He's spent his career primarily doing roles involving heavy makeup, but he's still usually recognizable within that role. It's the exception that proves the rule and shows how you can still have a great career.

Yeah, well Michael Mann had his chance to make what might have been the most pointlessly inaccurate film about him a few years ago.
