Hey, Greg might not currently be the model of adulty-adulthood, but keep in mind that he basically couldn't even feed himself. It isn't Vidalia level of growing up, but let it not be said greg didn't grow up at all in this episode.

Since I've crossed the TMI line, I guess now is a good time to mention that my last girlfriend was a total Pearl-type (even kind of had the nose). All Amethyst personality, though.

Well, we're kidding around bit as here actual proportions in real life would be freakish. However, the kind of body type her design is meant to evoke has fans (myself among them). Some of us dig tall, reedy, kind of gawky women. As for the outfits, that's more a pure aesthetics thing. Her character design looks really…

Uh, yes it is. It's the "fuck it, so be it" move. Until you've gone through the stage in which you you think it'll stop once you stop wearing a motorcycle helmet so much, or the on in which you're applying Rogaine to no effect, or the one in which you comb this way and that, then realize "Oh God, this is how comb…

As a bald dude: It's actually a way better time than it used to be to go bald because you *can* own it. It's pretty common now to just shave it all off once your baldness starts to show whereas back in the day (up through probably the 70's, maybe even 80's) you were expected to get a rug because baldness was…

Been doing the same, but with Steven as the chaser. A much better way to do it.

As someone living in L.A. with a progressive lean, I'm loving these jokes. It gets pretty thick sometimes and deserves some of the air taken out of it. A Gluten-Free Edutcational Experience is closer to being a thing than you'd think. ;-)

About Diane's caller ID for Mr. Peanutbutter being "Husband": That isn't necessarily an "ouch," but practical common sense. In case you are incapacitated in an emergency, it's handy to have a few close relations labeled by that relationship so that they can be contacted by a third part. Of course, this practice made…

For those of us into string-bean girls, Pearl has always been the hot one. ;-)

Regarding Nanefua's relation to Kofi: she's his mother. I mean, I'm all for defying gender heteronormativity as much as the next person, but I'm pretty sure Nanefua's gender has been established. http://steven-universe.wiki…

Not as far as Mayor Dewey is concerned.

On the flip: Obviously you're a robot, because no human can resist Saturday morning, fresh-from-the-fridge pizza. Nice try, Skynet, but we're not falling for it.

Two words: Bojack Horseman.

Yep. I was in a pretty bad place when season 1 premired. I started watching it not knowing where it would go. As the season rolled on it started hitting close to home. I was seeing so much of where I was reflected back at me. Bojack Horseman is a show that reminds me, and I'm sure many others, that I'm not alone and…

Oh yeah, Blink 182 is definitely mass market, big label pop-punk that rested harder on the "pop" part than even their pop-punk contemporaries like Green Day and Offspring.

Hey, at least Seven Mary Three is a CHiPs reference.

Their sound is so heavily built on punk like Descendents that you can't not put it in the label. Punk stopped being a pure ethos a long, long time ago (and there's a debate to be had about if it ever entirely was). It's a style and, like it or not, we gotta accept that.

Blasphemy, I know. I just found Drive to be trying too hard to be cool instead of just being cool. Beat-you-over-the-head music cues, cheap fake out ending and a general Film School 101 sensibility, "Oooo, scorpion jacket. Symbolism!" It didn't have the personality of Bronson or the sheer boldness of Valhalla Rising.…

Okay, as someone who liked Bronson and Valhalla Rising, but deeply disliked Drive to the point that I couldn't be bothered with Only God Forgives, will this one make me take Refn back or write him off?

No worries. I subscribe to the notion that "indie" as a term got bastardized at some point in the 2000's and doesn't necessarily mean its strictest definition (not signed to a major label) anymore, but is kind of a catch-all for an array of different styles of modern rock/ Rock derived music. A similar thing happened…
