I often attend my aunt and uncle’s Christmas Day dinner out in the near west suburbs. The Blue Line runs from downtown Chicago right out to just a few blocks from their suburban home. One particularly gloomy Christmas Day, I was sitting on the train, looiing forward to dinner but also hoping I’d be able to score a…

It’s the “Whilce Portacio’s ‘Wetworks’” of comic book movies. 

The special counsel probably knows plenty about Stone that we don’t, but personally I wouldn’t even try to get Stone to flip. This is a guy who (allegedly) explicitly referenced Frank Pentangeli’s testimony from “Godfather II.” Ten bucks says that’s his favorite scene in the movie and would jump at the chance to do…

My wife started crying within maybe five seconds of starting this trailer.

I have a theory that Trump’s “you need an ID to buy groceries” is a garbled memory born from those Visa Check Card commercials in the mid-90s, where various instantly-recognizable celebrities (Tony Bennett, Dieon Sanders, Daffy Duck) are nevertheless denied a purchase because they want to write a check and don’t have…

Dammit; noted. 

Knocked Up’s secret was in acknowledging how much fun the guys (and Yi) were having while also reminding the audience through Heigl (and Rudd and Bibb) of why that kind of fun is unsustainable as a lifestyle. I love that the sisters could go out to the club once in a while, and that we got a few scenes of Heigl…

The world is a better place when we all pretend that weak Daredevil arc never happened.

“Look, I distinctly said that the President of the United States did not collude with Russia during the campaign, which is true because the President during the campaign was Barack Obama. Boom: lawyered! Giuliani out! "

I'd never heard of him working on an animated series book, but it's encouraging to hear that he may not be worthless. I'll have to see if any are online. I wonder if the age/content restrictions placed on that line of books subdued his worst tendencies and brought out his better ones. 

The reality is that Millar is a shitty, shitty writer who either hates comic book fans or embodies their worst instincts (or both.)

Fair enough (though I’d vote for the completely unused Venom-ized Tyrannosaurus as the best part of the comic.)

More like, “one of the dumbest, most implausible things comics ever did, which is really saying something.”

It’s entirely legitimate to separate “best goal-scorer” from “best player.” Ovechkin is inarguably one of hockey's great goal-scorers, but if that's all it took to be considered a great player, people would be debating whether or not Gretzky's 80s Oilers should be Jarri Kurri's (or Glenn Anderson's.) 

I suspect the entire speech is only going to be about 14 words long.

Maybe it’s the cycling and baseball fan in me, but when a 33-year-old in any sport has the best season lf his career, my mind does not immediately turn to “oh, his fundamentals must have really improved," especially when that athlete is Russian. 

Jesus... gatekeep much?
