i’ve always maintained that the prequel trilogy does a lot of really interesting stuff very poorly, and the sequel trilogy does a lot of boring stuff really well.

What’s amusing is that there’s urban legend that Paul died in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike.

“Above satisfactory” is about how I’d describe this movie. It’s funny, but not groundbreaking. Enjoyable, but repeats some stuff from the original.

I kinda wish Miley’s career drifted more toward alt-county like Emmylou Harris or Lucinda Williams, because she’s got a great voice for it.

I wanted to see what the ramifications of taking away magic from white people would look like. Maybe that explains why David Copperfield and David Blaine exist?

This show has some really powerful individual moments, but it never coheres as a whole. Like, apparently this was all building up to Atticus sacrificing himself? That really does not feel like a natural culmination of what came before. The final scene is a confrontation between Dee and Christina, who barely interacted…

Wait, they’re opening Savage Love up to comments? This can’t end well!

Estate planning attorney take: he had a will or trust written, and his lawyer told him to include a letter to his loved ones as a nice final token. It’s not that uncommon. It’s also the simplest explanation given that the letter was held sealed by the lawyer and presented to her when he died. A lot of people use “very…

Recent polls have shown Cunningham increasing his lead over Tillis, so it seems like the people who care about this issue weren’t “persuadable” anyway.

I loved her as Xanthippe on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I loved when she was Kimmy’s nemesis, I loved when she was struggling at college & Kimmy tried to help her but kept outing her as a bed-wetter, & I loved when they ultimately actually became friends.

She is very funny and clever.  I hope she is writing or will write stuff for herself down the road.  Proximity to Tina Fey seems like a good mentorship opportunity.

It really is. She tosses off some very solid jokes, and she goes all-in with the Ben Franklin thing.

This is the best one of these in  a while.

Newsweek is currently owned and run by evangelical nuts, who’ve been using it to push hard-right views either directly (the vast majority of their op-ed section) or indirectly (phrasing when covering politically-charged topics; features like this interview). This stuff flies under the radar because people see the…

If he really wanted to capitalize on his fame, he’d have started a site where he ranks various buttholes. I remember him having opinions on buttholes far more clearly than I remember him having political opinions. 

Oh, hey, it’s Ken Bone!

The people who yell the loudest at others on the internet are really only passionate about yelling at people on the internet.

Fuck this dumb piece of shit and fuck Newsweek for deciding that they should for some reason give him attention.
