Amy Rardin, not Radin.

My understanding that the America mania for embalming is mostly just us.

Came here to say this. Wonderful little show that did a lot with a typical ultra low BBC budget.

Pitchfork: also very punchable.

I mean, yes, for sure, but those pizzas can be really good. Once the brown people can afford to move back to the neighborhood, can we still use the cool pizza ovens?

It’s so hard for me to convince anyone that the BBC Being Human is worth watching, just based on how lame the SyFy one was.

Counterpoint: Crank was essentially a movie adaptation of a non-existent videogame and was hilarious inappropriate fun.

It’s the inverse of Star Trek movies: The odd numbered ones are the good ones.

So Indiana Jones and George Washington’s Wooden Teeth should be OK ... right?

Yep. It was in the post-Crisis era. Post-Byrne, too, as I recall.

Luke with milk in his beard is about demystifying the last Jedi. He’s not the great space wizard who’s going to save everyone, he’s just a bitter, weird old hermit. I think it’s a lot more subversive to leave that kind of thing than to take it out.

You don’t need blackface to cosplay as a black superhero. My son (white) and his best friend (Hispanic) both dressed up as Cyborg a few Halloweens ago. Neither wore blackface, everyone knew who they were, no one thought it was inappropriate.

Not even the Hollywood Foreign Press takes the Golden Globes seriously. I’m not sure why you would.

That’s kind of a West Coast thing in general. A parent at my kid’s school drops his kid off via skateboard. Same school has a parent who drops their kid off in a Tesla.

Laterally? Like sideways? Interesting.

I work at a media company. Despite being told no layoffs were imminent, we returned to work in 2018 to an email informing of the people who are no longer with us.

Print ad revenue is dropping faster than growing digital ad revenue can replace it (exacerbated by the fact that digital ads are worth a tiny fraction of
